Twice-crowned beauty queen Michele Reis may be all of 18 years old．But she is still mummy's little girl．Mrs．Reis described her 1 feeling the night her daughter 2 the Miss Hong Kong Beauty Pegeant(选美大赛),“I felt 3 I suffered the loss of something important 4 they crowned(加冕)her．Not that I was not happy for her, but knew that my daughter no longer belonged to me alone and I would have to share her 5 everyone else．”
But Mom should have seen it coming． 6 her Portuguese-Chinese heritage(遗传因子), Michele was quite good-looking as a youngster．She began modeling part time as a school girl．There was something special about her 7 as a child．People in the street always turned around 8 her．
9 her recent fame, the beauty queen said,“sometimes I have the feeling that I am no longer myself 10 ．my schedule is 11 ．I'm not getting 12 sleep, and I am always 13 from one place to another．There are times when I am 14 tired that I just wanted to sit and 15 ．”
16 a celebrity(名人)has another price．“People no longer regarded me as 17 person．It's becoming 18 for me to make friends, and I've learned to treasure old friends because they 19 treat ma as Michele 20 Miss Hong Kong”
One day, an expert in time management was speaking to a group of students．To drive his 1 home, he used an illustration(演示)those students will never 2 ．
“Okay, now watch carefully”, and then he pulled out a wide-mouth jar and set it on the 3 in front of him．He also 4 about a dozen fist-sized rocks and carefully 5 them, one at a time, into the jar．
When the jar was filled to the 6 and no more rocks would 7 inside, he asked,“Is this jar full?”Everyone in the class answered,“Yes．”
The expert replied,“Really?”He 8 under the table and pulled out a bucket of small stones．He dropped some 9 and then asked the group once more,“Is the jar full?”
By this time the class was on to him．“ 10 ”one of them answered carefully．
“Good!”he replied, and then brought out a bucket of sand．He started dumping(dropping)the sand in the jar and it 11 into all of the 12 left between the rocks and the small stones． 13 he asked the question,“Is this jar full?”“No!”the class shouted．
“Good．”Then he looked at the class and asked,“What is the point of this illustration?”
One 14 student raised his hand and said,“The point is, no matter how 15 your schedule(时间表)is, if you 16 really hard you can always fit some more things in it!”
“ 17 ．”the speaker replied．“That’s not the point．The 18 this illustration teaches us is：If you don’t put the big rocks in first, you’ll never get them in 19 ．”
What are the ‘big rocks’ in your 20 ?Then, put those in your jar first．

完形填空。
When I was a little girl, every Sunday my family of six would put on our best clothes and go to Sunday School and then church．The 1 in elementary school would all meet together to sing songs, and then later divide into 2 based on their ages．
One Easter Sunday, all the kids 3 with big eyes and big 4 about what the Easter Bunny(复活节小兔)had brought． 5 all of the kids shared their stories with 6 , one young boy , whom I shall call Bobby, sat 7 ．One of the teachers , noticing this, said to him, “And what did the Easter Bunny 8 you?”He replied, “My mom 9 the door by accident so the Easter Bunny couldn't get 10 because he hadn't got a key．”
This sounded like a 11 idea to all of us kids, so we kept on going with the stories．My mom knew the true story, 12 ．Bobby's mom was a single parent , and she suspected(怀疑)that they just couldn't 13 the Easter Bunny．
After Sunday School was over, everyone went off to 14 ．But my mom announced that we were going home 15 ．At home, she explained that to make Bobby feel 16 , we were going to pretend(假装)to be the Easter Bunny , make a basket of our candies for him and 17 it at church．We all donated(捐赠)some to the basket, and 18 back to church．There, mom hung the basket over the hanger(挂钩)and attached(附上)a(n) 19 ：
Dear Bobby,
I'm sorry I 20 your house last night．Happy Easter．
