Chris thought his dad was unreasonable(不讲道理的).After all,he was young and he needed some space.During a recent argument,Chris said,"I'm not you,Dad.I have my own way(44)Ddoing things.I want a job I enjoy."His dada said,"That's a nice idea,(45)Canyway we call it‘job'because it's about making a living,not(46)Cfun."
There are many young people like Chris.They are having trouble getting started with a serious job and becoming(47)B.They just don't want to grow up.They think when the time is right,everything will be all right.(48)A,it doesn't work that way.Things happen and opportunities appear most often when we are moving,not standing still(静止).The(49)Bstep is the hardest,but the key to(50)Ain anything is getting started.

16.An agriculture expert in West Africa once wrote about methods of how to kill mice without a lot of money.These methods are used by some local farmers.This expert in Mali said his gardener set four traps(陷阱)with this method-and caught one hundred and fifty (55)B in just one night.
The trap is easy to make.You need a plastic bucket (桶) that is empty and uncovered.Dig a hole in the ground and place the bucket inside.The top should be the same level with the (56)A of the ground.Fill the bucket with water to within eight centimeters of the top.Add small pieces of food wastes.These food wastes should float (漂浮) (57)C.Also put some wastes on the ground near the trap.
During the night,mice will come out to (58)Bfood wastes.They will fall into the trap.
If you don't have enough food to float,you can try another way.Put two pieces of cloth over the top of the bucket or the hole in the ground.I-cave a small opening where the pieces of cloth meet
Put a little food wastes on the cloth.When mice walk onto the cloth to eat,they will slide through opening into the water.
At one time or another,most farmers have problems with mice.Mice cat a lot of rice.They also carry diseases.People get (59)Cfrom eating or touching the rice that mice have got into.
There are other ways that farmers can(60)A these problems.One way is to use buildings specially designed to keep mice out.Another way is to use poisons (毒药) to kill the mice.However,both of these methods can be costly.
Farmers must buy die materials to build the buildings.Or they must buy chemical poisons to Jail the mice.But these poisons can also be(61)Bto other living things-including the farmers who use them.

12.In America,people don't keep their old people at home.At a certain age they put them away.In my country,the old people stay in the home until they (80)C.But here,things are not like that.It's surprising to me that they put them away.The first thing they think of is a nursing home (养老院).Some of these people don't need a nursing home.If they had their own bedroom at home,they would watch (81)C or listen to the radio or have themselves busy doing something interesting.
Right now there's a lady here,nothing wrong with her,but her children put her away.They don't come to see her.The only time they come to see her is when she says,"I can't breathe."She wants some (82)A.And that way she is just aging.When I came here,she was a beautiful woman.She was looking nice.Now she is going down.
We had another lady here two years ago,she had two sons.She fell and had a (83)B leg.They called the eldest son.He said,"Why call on me?Call the little one.She gave all the money to that little one."That was bad.I was right there.
All these people are not helpless.But just the family (84)D them.There is an old man here.His children took him for a ride one day,pushed him out of the car,let him walk and wander (徘徊) by himself.He couldn't find his way home.His children try to (85)A all that he has.They are trying to make him sign papers and things like those.There is nothing wrong with him.He can dress himself,cook his own meals,take a walk…They signed him in here,made the lawyers sign him in.They are just in for money.
How can these children treat their old people like that?How awful!
