The day finally came, when I had to leave the warm home where I¨d grown up. I ran to the back yard, as tears came up from my heart. Suddenly I 36 a hand rest on my shoulder. I looked up to 37 my grandfather. ^It isn¨t 38 , is it, Billy? ̄ he said softly.
He gently 39 my hand in his, and then we walked, hand in hand, to the front yard, 40 a huge red rose-bush sat alone.
^What do you see here, Billy? ̄ he asked. I looked at the flowers, not knowing 41 to say, and then answered, ^I see something soft and 42 , grandpa. ̄
He pulled me 43 . ^It isn't just the roses that are beautiful, Billy. It¨s that special place in your heart that makes them so. ̄ ^Billy, I 44 these roses when my first son was born. It was my 45 of saying `thank you¨ to God. I 46 to watch him pick roses for his mother. Then, as a young man of only 20, a terrible war robbed him of his life. ̄ Grandpa slowly stood up. ^Never say good-bye, Billy. Never 47 to the sadness and the loneliness. Instead, I want you to remember the joy and the 48 when you first said hello to a friend. ̄
A year later, my grandpa became very 49 .Then all members of the family
were 50 back, and I returned to the old house. When it came to my 51 , I took his hand as 52 as he had once taken mine.
^Hello, grandpa, ̄ I 53 .His eyes slowly opened and said, ^Hello, my friend. ̄ With a brief 54 he died. Suddenly, and truly, I knew what he had 55 about never saying good-bye ! about refusing to give in to sadness.

Don't Take the Fun Out of Youth Sports
When I joined a private football league a few years ago, the sport meant everything to me. My coach�┰盟沓�said that I had lots of potential��捻薦��, and I became captain of my __1__. That was before all the fun was taken out of __2__.
At first, everyone on the team got __3__ playing time. Then the team moved up to the top division after winning all its games, and the __4__started. Some parents, who had paid the coach extra so their daughters could have __5__ one-on-one training, got angry when she didn't give them more playing time in our __6__. The coach was replaced.
The new coach, however, took all the fun out of the game: All we did during practice was __7__ I always wished to God that it would rain so we would not have the __8__. Of course, all teams run drills; they are __9__. But we ran so much that, afterwards, we had trouble __10__. Younger people shouldn't be doing exercises __11__ for 18-year-olds.
I was very thin __12__ I started football, but as a member of this team I wouldn't eat much, be-cause I was afraid of being too __13__ to run. I feared making mistakes, and the added pressure caused me to make more than my usual __14__.
Is all this pressure necessary? I __15__ up leaving the football team. Four other girls did the same, and two of them stopped playing football completely. That's __16__, because they had so much potential. They were just burned-out with all the pressure they __17__ from the coach or their parents.
I continued playing football at school and __18__ my love for it. I joined a private team coached by my school coach. When I started playing __19__ him, he told me I needed to relax because I looked nervous. After I __20__ down, I played better. When you enjoy something, it's a lot easier to do it well.

I had been sitting by myself in my usual compartment (概��) for at
least ten minutes 1 for the train to start. The train never seemed to
start 2 and I often thought that I could have
3 in bed a little 4 or had 5 cup of tea before
6 home. Suddenly I heard someone shouting 7 the platform (埖岬) outside. A young girl was running
8 the train. The man 9 put out his hand to stop her, but she ran past him and
opened the door of my compartment. Then the whistle (廿却)
10 and the train started.
"I nearly missed it, 11 I?" the girl said. "How long 12 it take to 13 to London?"
"It 14 the engine driver," I said. "Some days it is much slower than others, I will have to 15 , so as not to be late again tomorrow," she said. "It is my first day 16 with a new firm (巷望) today and 17 told me that the man I am going to work for is very 18 . I 19 him yet, so I don't know 20 but he sounds a bit frightening. "
She talked about her new job 21 the way to London and 22 , I realized that she was going to work for my firm. My 23 secretary had just left so I must be her new boss. It was only 24 to tell her. "Oh,dear," she said." 25 mistake! I wish I had known."

When a person is curious about something, it means he is 1 in it and wishes to know more about it. There is 2 wrong with curiosity in itself. Whether it is good or bad depends on what people are curious about.
Curiosity is 3 silly or wrong. Some persons with nothing to do are full of curiosity about what their 4 are doing. They are 5 to know what they are eating or drinking, what they are 6 home or taking outside, or 7 they have come so early or late. To be interested in these things is 8 because they are 9 at all. It is none of their 10 to know what their neighbors do or are doing. Such curiosity is 11 not only 12 but also harmful. For most probably, it 13 to small talk which often brings harm, shame of disrespect to others, and thus 14 their feelings.
On the other hand, there is a 15 curiosity--the curiosity of wise men, who wonder at all the great things and try to 16 all they can about them. Columbus could never have found America if he had not been 17 . James Watt would not have made the steam engine 18 his curiosity about the raising of the kettle lid. All the discoveries in human history have been made 19 a result of curiosity, 20 , the curiosity is never about unimportant things which have few or nothing to do with the happiness of the public.

Later, as I arrived home, my husband 54 , ^So you aren¨t ever late any more. ̄
I said, ^Sometimes it¨s 55 to be late. ̄
