A boy was walking home from school when he saw a large, tempting（诱人的）apple on one of the branches of an apple tree hanging out over a tall fence. The boy wasn’t much of a fruit-eater,  26  a bar of chocolate if given the choice,  27   , as they say, the forbidden fruit can be tempting. Seeing the apple, the boy wanted it. The more he looked at it, the 28  he felt and the more he wanted that apple.

He stood on tiptoe(脚尖)，29  as high as he could, but even as his tallest 30  he was unable to touch it. He began to  31  up and down, as high as he could, at the  32  of each jump stretching his arms to get the apple. Still it remained out of  33 .

Not giving up, he thought, if only he had something to  34  on. His school bag wouldn’t give enough height and he didn’t want to  35  the things inside, like his lunch box, pencil case, and Gameboy. Looking   36 , he hoped he might find an old box, a rock , or,   37  luck, even a ladder, but it was a tidy neighborhood and there was nothing he could use.

He had tried everything he could think to do,   38   seeing any other choices, he gave up and started to walk   39 . At first he felt angry and disappointed thinking about how hungry he had become from his  40  , and how he really wanted that apple. The more he 41   like this, the more unhappy he became.

42  , the boy of our story was a pretty smart guy, even if he couldn’t always get what  he wanted. He started to say to himself, “ This isn’t  43 , I don’t have the apple and I’m feeling miserable as well. There’s  44  more I can do to get the apple—hat is unchangeable—but we are supposed to be able to  45  our feelings. If that’s the case, what can I do to feel better?

From:  Jakie Mok , Secretary; Sports Development Committee

Date:   May 20, 2010

     A week ago, “Sports for Life” programme was sent to the parents, requiring them to select a sport they wanted their child to play. Since then, our staff have received lots of calls from parents asking for more information about it . Here is a memo (备忘录) for your reference when you answer the phones.

Sports 1:Basketball.

     We expect that this will be the most popular of the four sports. Therefore, students should be advised to sign up as soon as possible . Students will take a private bus to and from Kwun Tong Sports Park .To cover the cost of hiring a bus , each student will have to pay ＄10 each time. There will be four basketball courts available for our use with one teacher watching over each game.

Sports 2:Gym

     We will be using St. Peter’s Memorial Park. There are two reasons for choosing this park. Frist, it is not very busy and crowded before 6:00 pm. Second, it has lot of trees with plenty of shade. Students must bring along two bottles of water to prevent thirst. Three activities, skipping , jogging , outdoor aerobics (有氧运动),all of which are free of charge, will be arranged. And there will be a teacher on duty for each of the activities.

Sports 3: Hiking

     Hiking(远足)will take place at Kowloon Peak. The activity will start at 2:30 pm and finish 90 minutes later. Three teachers will accompany the students, and a hiking instructor will accompany each group of 15 hikers . Each instructor will cost ＄75/hr. Students are advised to bring plenty of water and sunscreen.

Sports 4:Swimming

     The Kowloon City Aquatic Centre is a 10-minute walk from our school. Four teachers will go to the pool and conduct the goings-on from the poolside. We will only be able to reserve the pool for one hour (i.e. 2:45pm to 3:45pm).Only students skilful at swimming can take up this activity. The pool will have two lifeguards present. Girls must wear a swimming suit. The cost is ＄10 per visit.

I   31  that the lady didn’t talk much English but  32   a taxi. They replied they would   33  one out right now. I tried my best to tell that to the lady. Soon she   34  happily. Obviously, she was very   35  to me.
When my kids were   36 , I would do an act of kindness and after we were away from the   37 , I would explain what I did and   38 . I wasn’t trying to   39  but just trying to teach them about acts of   40 . They learned that it was OK to help others and have gone on to do the same.
