After her husband had gone to work, Mrs. Richards sent her children to school and returned to her bedroom on the second floor.

What she wanted to play was a    3    genie and as she had made that special dress of hers the night    4    she was anxious to    5    it on.    6    the dress was nothing but a big piece of white cloth,    7 would be very effective to make her look like a genie. After putting it on, Mrs. Richards went   8 happily. She wanted to find out    9    it would be comfortable to wear.

    Just as Mrs. Richards was entering the dining room, there was a    10    at the front door. She thought it    11    be the baker. She had told him to come straight in if    12    failed to open the door and leave the bread on the kitchen table. Now, not wanting to    13    the poor man, Mrs. Richards quickly    14    in the small storeroom under the stairs. She heard the front door open and entered a man. When Mrs. Richards    15    that it was the man from the Electricity Board (电业局) that came to read the meter (电表), she stepped out of the storeroom 16    and tried to explain the matter, but it was too late. The man let out a sharp    17    and jumped back several paces, his eyes and mouth    18    wide and both his hands raised.

    When Mrs. Richards first    19    and then ran after him, he ran away, shutting the door behind him with great    20    and noise.

My son was badly hurt in a fire．After he__36__from a series of treatments，the doctors told him they would not do any operation for six months__37__it took long for the skin to stop shrinking （收缩）. So, he had to return to college with a visible 10­inch__38__on his face.

I said to my son, “Keaston，__39__will pay any more attention to your scar__40__you do. If it does not bother you, it will not bother__41__.” He took my advice to heart and returned to school with his head__42__high—glad he was alive.

__43__, everyone has scars and shortcomings．Some of you may spend much time thinking that people would like you better, __44__you looked different, or dressed differently, or could have a different and newer__45__.

But you see, like Keaston’s scar，people will only judge you by your looks，or your__46__, or your car, if you are judging yourself by these same false__47__.

One of my friends in college was very__48__. At first, when people met him, they noticed his__49__for about 10 seconds. This man felt__50__about himself and spent most of his time__51__about other people’s comfort and welfare.__52__, people ignored his looks. What people__53__was his kindness and his concern for them. He didn’t act in an ugly way so people didn’t treat him as an ugly man.

Therefore, concentrate on what you value__54__yourself, because if you can see that beautiful person, everyone you are in contact with will see the same__55__.

　  Life on land probably began about 430 million years ago, though it has stayed in the water for perhaps as much as 3,000 million years. When we think of the first thing on land, we probably think of strange animals coming out of the oceans, but in fact no animals could have been living if plants had not been on land first. Plants had to be on land before animals arrived. They supplied the first land animals with the surrounding and food necessity, since then, the plants, are the only form of life that is able to get and store energy.
　　The first plants to stay out of the water were probably certain kinds of algae（海藻）which were followed by other plants that grew close to the ground and needed water in which to reproduce. Once the move to land had been made, however, evolution（进化）happened quickly. By the end of 100 million years, plants had developed their roots（根), and some had got tree -like forms since height was very important in gaining sunlight. About 300 million years ago, much of the world was covered with forests of huge trees. In most ways they were like modern trees. They had roots, leaves, wood, but mostly they had not developed seeds.
