    My baby Rob, the youngest of my three sons, was starting kindergarten. I had already 36 this twice before, but this time it was more difficult.

What if he was scared? What if he missed me? I decided to do the grown-up thing and not tell him how I 37. I assured him that 38 would be just fine. 

The night 39 school started, Rob and I sat down. I hugged him and asked if he had any questions about what he could expect tomorrow ... “I’m 40 excited, Mommy, but I’m a little 41 about what I should do 42 I miss you,” he said sheepishly （胆怯地）.

I had just the 43 for him.

I 44 my hand and showed him a new, shiny penny. “This is a 45 magic penny. If you’re scared or if you 46 me, just put your hand in your pocket and 47 this lucky penny. 48 you hold it and 49 me, I will know and be thinking about you , too.”

It was absolutely 50. I’d be thinking about him every minute.

The next day as he 51 his schoolroom, he looked back at me. My baby looked so sure of himself. I smiled back at him and hoped that he didn’t see the 52 in my eyes.

The hours moved slowly but finally it was time to pick him 53. “I had a great day!” he 54. “There were a few times I was worried, but I held on to my lucky penny and that made me feel better.”

After about a week I found it on his dresser.  I guessed he was secure enough in his new situation that he didn’t 55 it anymore.

I, on the other hand, kept it in my pocket for a few more days.

In communities north of Denver, residents are pitching in to help teachers and administrators as the Vrain school District tries to solve a $13.8 million budget shortage blamed on mismanagement. “We’re worried about our teachers and principals, and we really don’t want to lose them because of this,” one parent said. “If we can help ease their financial burden, we will.”

Teachers are grateful, but I know it may be years before the district is solvent (有综合能力的). They feel really good about the parent support, but they realize it’s impossible for them to solve this problem.

The 22,000-student district discovered the shortage last month. “It’s extraordinary. Nobody would have imagined something happening like this at this level,” said State Treasurer Mike Coffman.

Coffman and district officials last week agreed on a state emergency plan freeing up a $9.8 million loan that enabled the payroll (工资单) to be met for 2,700 teachers and staff in time for the holidays.

District officials also took $1.7 million from student-activity accounts of its 38 schools.

At Coffman’s request, the District Attorney has begun investigating the district’s finances. Coffman says he wants to know whether district officials hid the budget shortage until after the November election, when voters approved a $212 million bond issue for schools.

In Frederick, students’ parents are buying classroom supplies and offering to pay for groceries and utilities to keep first-year teachers and principals in their jobs.

Some $36,000 has been raised in donations from Safeway. A Chevrolet dealership donated $10,000 and forgave the district’s $10,750 bill for renting the driver educating cars. IBM contributed 4,500 packs of paper.

“We employ thousands of people in this community,” said Mitch Carson, a hospital chief executive, who helped raise funds. “We have children in the school, and we see how they could be affected.”

At Creek High School, three students started a website that displays newspaper articles, district information and an email forum. “Rumors about what’s happening to the district are moving at lighting speed,” said a student. “We wanted to know the truth, and spread that around instead.”

46. What has happened to the Vrain School District?

A. A huge financial problem has arisen.

B. Many schools there are mismanaged.

C. Lots of teachers in the district are planning to quit.

D. Many administrative personnel have been laid off.

47. How did the residents in the Vrain School District respond to the budget shortage?

A. They felt somewhat helpless about it.

B. They accused those responsible for it.

C. They made their efforts to help solve it.

D. They demanded a thorough investigation.

48. In the view of State Treasurer Mike Coffman, the educational budget shortage is ________.

A. unavoidable       B. unbelievable       C. insolvable        D. invisible

49. Why did Coffman request an investigation?

A. To see if the financial problem was covered up on purpose

B. To find out how serious the consequence of the case would be.

C. To make sure that the school principals were innocent.

D. To stop the voters approving the $212 million bond issue.

50. Three high school students started a website in order to ________.

A. attract greater public attention to their needs
