Last year, my mom found out that she had stomach cancer. I thought she¨d be fine after she got 36 as she was diagnosed(寶僅)early. She had an operation to 37 a third of her stomach to stop the cancer from spreading. And for two months she went back and forth to the 38 . But I never visited her because I was 39 with school abroad and didn¨t fully know what was 40 . After her treatment, she 41 working because of her poor health and ate a(n) 42 diet. I visited her in the summer holiday. She seemed better, so I forgot that there was a possibility of cancer 43 .
When school 44 , I said goodbye to my family. My mom called me from home every day. 45 in early November, my dad called instead. He sounded 46 .
^What¨s wrong? How come Mom¨s not calling me today? ̄ I asked. After a few seconds, he said my mom¨s cancer had returned and spread throughout her 47 . Her survival rate was less than 30%.
After I put down the phone, I 48 . Tears kept coming out. I didn¨t want to 49 it. I couldn¨t accept the 50 that my mom might not have much time left. I cried and cried and at last, I stopped crying. I thought I should stop acting like a 51 and pull myself together.
Looking back to when my mom first got cancer, I 52 how stupid I was for not appreciating her. I feel bad that I didn¨t visit her in the hospital. I should have cared. She¨s my mom. 53 , it¨s not too late. She recovered. I¨ll try to spend more time with my mom 54 . I hope you will do the same for your mom. Spend some time with your loved ones 55 it is too late.

I write for a big newspaper, and I wanted to 32 a story about parachute jumping��柳鼻��. To make it a realistic as well as exciting 33 , I decided that I had to make a jump myself 34 . Unluckily, I¨m not good at any 35 , let alone�┯�音喘傍��parachute jumping.

Away from the plane, and down, down I fell, arms stretched. It worked. All at once I was very happy. Then I felt a quick 48 . My big parachute had opened! It was the best 49 I ever had. I looked down. There were rivers, trees, fields and houses. I heard the soft sound of the air. This was 50 .

臥心楼籾�蠻藝祐隶�>>One fine afternoon I was walking along Fifth Avenue, 21 I remembered that it was necessary to buy a pair of socks. Why I wished to buy only one pair is 22 . I turned into the first sock shop that 23 my eye, and a boy clerk who could not have been more than seventeen years old 24 . ^What can I do for you, sir? ̄ ^I wish to buy a pair of socks. ̄ His eyes were shining. There was a note of 25 in his voice. ^Did you know that you had come into the finest place in the world to buy socks? ̄ I had not been aware of that, as I entered the shop 26 . ^Come with me, ̄ said the boy, excitedly. I followed him to the back part of the shop, and he began to take down from the shelves box after box, 27 their contents for my enjoyment. ^Hold on, young man, I am going to buy only one pair! ̄ ^I know that, ̄ said he, ^but I want you to see 28 beautiful these are. Aren¨t they wonderful? ̄ 29 was on his face an expression of pleasure, 30 he were uncovering the mysteries of his religion. I became far 31 interested in him than in the socks.

Either he is 37 in deep thought in which he hates to be disturbed or he is chatting with a girl clerk and you feel like 38 for ^being too rude ̄.
He shows no interest either in you or in the goods he 39 to sell. Yet possibly the very clerk who is now so indifferent(絶町議) began his career with hope and 40 . The daily work was too much for him; the newness disappears slowly; his only pleasures were found outside of working hours; and he saw younger clerks who had more enthusiasm in their work promoted over him. He became sour. That was the last stage. His usefulness was over.
