That day, the bathroom door heavily shut behind me. Then there came my little brother’s loud ________. Oh, my god! The door had slammed on his finger! Now he asked me to take his fingernail back. Without thinking, I rushed into the bathroom. ________, it couldn’t be found. I knew from the look on his face that he was so scared and painful. He couldn’t ________ one of his parts was gone in such a way. He kept sobbing, and I felt worried and ________ because our parents would come back soon and they would be angry with me.

Suddenly, a ________ idea came to me. I whispered in his ear, “Toby, do you know that lizards (蜥蜴) grow their ________ back and little boys can grow their fingernails back too?” Toby’s soft green eyes grew wide and he became very excited. “They can?” he asked. Quite surprised by the ________, “And how?”

I told him, “________ that nothing is impossible. From now on, you just need to keep a little ________ in your heart and tell your fingernail how much you love it and how much you need it.” I could see Toby’s little face ________. Then I continued, “We should ________ the whole thing from Mom and Dad.” Toby nodded firmly. After a while, Toby said to me ________, “I’m talking to my fingernail, wishing it to grow quickly.”

A week later, with a joyful burst of laughter, Toby ran towards me. “See!” he said, “it’s really growing back and becomes well again just as any ________ fingernails!”

Many people enjoy watching movies in a cinema. They think the cinema has a better atmosphere(气氛) to enjoy the movie. However, I think people are happier and freer when watching movies at home.

Watching movies at home is more comfortable. To watch movies in a cinema, you have to buy the ticket before you go there for a better seat. However, there is no need for people at home to worry about the ticket. They can enjoy movies at any time they like and with the most comfortable seat. What's more, people watching movies at home wouldn't have to face any traffic problem.

It is free to watch movies at home. In the cinema, we cannot go outside and do something else because the movie won't wait for us. Sometimes, if we miss part of the movie, we cannot follow the story. At home, we can pause(暂时) at any time and go back to watch the part.

All in all, a cinema is a good place to watch movies, but it isn't the best place to enjoy the movies. I think watching movies at home is better.
