9.There was a boy who was sent by his parents to a boarding school(寄宿学校).Before he was sent away,the boy was the (16)B student in his class.He was at the top in every exam.
But the boy changed after (17)C home and studying in the boarding school.His grades started to (18)A.He hated being in a group.He was lonely all the time.And there were especially dark times when he felt like committing suicide(自杀).All of this was because he felt no one loved him.
His parents started to (19)C the boy.But they even did not know what was wrong with him.So his father decided to go to the school and talk with him.
They sat by the lake near the school.The father started asking him some casual questions about his lessons,teachers and (20)A.After some time his father said,"Do you know,son,why I'm here today?"
"To (21)C my grades,"the boy replied back.
"No,no,"his father said."I'm here to tell you that you're the most (22)Bperson for me.I want to see you (23)A.I don't care about grades.I care about you.I care about your happiness.You're my life."
These words caused the boy's eyes to be filled with tears.He hugged(拥抱) his father.They didn't say (24)D to each other for a long time.
Now the boy had everything he wanted.He knew there was someone on the earth who cared for him deeply.And today this young man is in university at the top of his class and no one has ever seen him (25)D.

31、It was past 10:00p.m.I was busy with my schoolwork though I was tired.Just then,my little brother Michael ran out of his room,holding a pen in his right hand and a piece of paper in the other.
"Betty,can you help me with my homework for school?It's about the seven(31)Bof the world."he said.
My eyes were so attracted on the computer screen that my brother had to pull my blouse just to get my(32)A.
"Look,not right now!I'm very busy."I said."You are always(33)C!You are always like that!"he replied.
I felt a bit guilty(内疚的)as I thought about his words,but my work seemed moreimportant to me than my brother's.I sighed a few times and continued with my own (34)C.
The next day,I arrived home late.Michael came into my room.
"I know you are busy but there's something I want to show you,"he began.Without saying a word,I took the paper from him.I really didn't(35)Dwhat he was saying.All I wanted was to send him away and finally get some rest.
Suddenly,my eyes widened in surprise.There,he(36)A:The Seven Wonders of the World:
=1.Love=2.Friendship=3.Peace=4.Joy=5.Wisdom=6.Fun=7.Family
I couldn't(37)Awhat my brother had written on the paper.I was (38)Dconfused.How could such an innocent(天真的)little child understand such things in life?
The most(39)Bthings in life are the ones that we often take for granted.These things don't take the form of big houses or beautiful cars.The most wonderful things in the world are immaterialand they can never be(40)Cby human art,skill or effort.
