We had the opportunity to come to London again this year.I was coming for a 1 , and Jenny was coming to enjoy some sightseeing.My conference was during the week, so we had the weekend 2 .We decided this year to rent a car and 3 out of London.This was probably one of our best 4 yet, inspired in no small part by Jenny’s cousin Rebecca, who recently 5 to the United States after spending almost a year in the UK.
On Saturday, we set out as soon as we could hire the car 6 the south of Wales.We were heading towards Raglan Castle and Tintern Abbey.Jenny and I studied the 7 we were headed for.We fully planned to use the main motorways only to 8 time, and to get onto the more local roads 9 we could spend some time looking at the villages and towns along the way.
We decided to head 10 for Tintern Abbey.We got a little lost when trying to find one of the more local roads.We 11 heading south a little more west than we had 12 .Following the map, Jenny identified a different 13 that would take us to the abbey.We 14 there around 15∶30.It was a spectacular view and we were there until closing time at 17∶00.
At that 15 , we realized that we had not 16 anything all day.We were having too much of a good time, and had 17 about food.Earlier in the day, when we were buying the map, we bought a diet coke to drink in the car.That’s 18 we had had all day.Realizing this, and that we were getting a bit 19 , we stopped for food.Then we started our journey 20 to London and finally returned safely to our hotel.

We are warned by our teachers not to waste time because time lost will never return.I think it quite 1 .What does time look 2 ? Nobody knows, and we can’t see it or touch it and no amount of money can buy it.Time is abstract(抽象的), so we have to 3 about it.
Time passes very quickly.Some students say they don’t have 4 time to review their lessons.It is 5 they don’t know how to make use of their time.They waste it in going to theatres or playing, and 6 other useless things.Why do we study every day? Why do we work? Why do most people have to take buses instead of walking? The answer is very 7 .We wish to save time because time is 8 .
Today we are living in the 21st century.We 9 time as life.When a person dies, his life ends.Since life is short, we must 10 our time and energy to our study so that we 11 be able to work and live well in the future.Laziness is the 12 of time, for it not only brings us 13 , but also does other 14 to us.If it is necessary for us to do our work today, let us do it today and not 15 it until tomorrow.Remember that time is much more valuable.

My parents ran a small restaurant in Seattle.It was open twenty-four hours a day, six days a week.And my first real job, when I was six years old, was 1 the diners’ shoes.My father had done it when he was young, so he taught me 2 to do it well, telling me to 3 to shine the shoes again if the customer wasn’t 4 .
I was proud of working in the restaurant 5 I was also working for the good of the family.But my father 6 said that I had to meet certain standards(标准)to be part of the team.I 7 to be on time, hard-working, and polite to the 8 .I was 9 paid for the work I did at the restaurant.One day I made the mistake of suggesting to Dad that he 10 give me $10 a week.He said, “OK.How about you paying me for three meals a day you have here?

I was feeling pretty low.It was the week before I was scheduled for gallbladder surgery(胆囊手术), and I couldn’t escape my worried 1 .The surgeon was highly 2 but was new to me-and he didn’t have the best besides manner.My sister, an 3 operating room director, who usually put my 4 at ease about my medical care, had moved away recently.This would be my first time 5 an operation without her right there by my side.
I was on my own.“ 6 something goes wrong?” I tossed(翻来覆去)and turned all that night.
The next day I 7 I had to get my mind out of everything.A good 8 will do the trick, I thought.I 9 to the bookcase in my guest bedroom to get something to 10 .Next to the bookcase 11 some novels I had 12 from library sale over a year ago.Right on top I saw a best-selling mystery novel.
I sat down in the bedroom, 13 the book and began to read.I couldn’t 14 it-the book’s prologue(开场白)began with a woman awaiting surgery! She was also feeling 15 , struggling with knowing if she had 16 the right hospital, the right doctor.
“This is a team 17 ,” the doctor said to her.“We mustn’t 18 someone very important,” he continued, “the most important member of our team.Do you know who that is?”
I read on, breathless.
The doctor patted the woman’s hand gently and pointed to her.“ 19 ” he told her.
And I realized my life wasn’t only in the doctor’s hands; it was in mine as well.Immediately I felt more confident and 20 about the upcoming surgery.
