8．A．moment B．hour C．minute D．quarter——青夏教育精英家教网—

My name is Lily. My father is a teacher. His students love him a lot because he is funny. I love him, too, but I think he can be “foolish” 41 .
Once we moved into a new house and had to go shopping to buy new chairs and lights. In the supermarket, I’m interested   42  some of the beautiful lights with good qualities and made my father buy them.
When we got home, my father began to work out how much money we had   43  that day. Suddenly, he stopped. “Something’s wrong.” he said. “I’ve got 30 yuan   44  than I should!”“That’s great,” I said. “You can buy me that   45  book I want.”
Father said nothing. Instead, he counted（数） how much money he had again and again.
“The salesgirl must have made a mistake. We   46  go back to the shop,” he said.
“Do you have to go back?” I asked. “Nobody will know we   47  too much change(找零). It would be foolish to go back.”
“It wouldn’t be ‘foolish’.” my father said angrily. “It’s called being   48  .” At that moment, I looked into his eyes and knew he was right.
The salesgirl was surprised to see us in the shop again. But   49  we gave her the money, she thanked us a lot.
On my way home, my father stopped me   50  smiled. “Do you still want that cartoon book?” he asked. I looked at my “foolish” father and answered loudly, “Father, you are the greatest!”

The bell for class rang. All the students took out their 1 , waiting for the teacher. Our Chinese teacher, Miss Liu, had told us before that we were going to write a composition 2 class.
A minute passed, and another, 3 the teacher didn't appear. We began to wonder what the matter with her was. Was she ill? Or had she forgotten about the class? 4 could tell. Soon some students began to study other subjects, some students began to talk and even made 5 .
About ten minutes later, the door opened and Miss Liu 6 came in, smiling. She didn't say sorry to the class. We felt 7 angry. The teacher often told us never to be late for class and said it was 8 manners to be late. She also said that if we were late, we should make an apology (道歉) 9 at once or after class. But now she was late and had kept the whole class waiting for such a long time and didn't even tell us the reason. It was unfair. At this moment, Miss Liu picked up a piece of chalk(粉笔) and 10 "Teacher IsLate" on the blackboard and said that was the topic of our composition today. All of us smiled and understood what the teacher meant.
