As we all know, the environment around us is getting worse and worse. In some places we can’t see fish 　26 in the river or trees on the hills. Some people even have no clean water to drink.

Recently, a new lifestyle called low carbon life is 　27 every comer of our country. The meanings of low carbon are 　28 energy and no waste. It is such an important project that I can’t wait 29 my ideas on how to promote it.

First，we should 　30 a no-car day every week in our school. Because cars not only cause serious air pollution but also waste energy. 　31 the no-car day, neither students 　32 teachers are allowed to drive to school. At the same time，just walk or run. Use our 　33 and enjoy the fun.

Second, we had better not use plastic bags 　34 . No one can stand the “white pollution”， 　35 it is wise to use cloth bags which can 　36 again and again.

37 ，one thing 　38 we should keep in mind is that every big thing comes from the small details. So, as students, we ought to turn 　39 the lights the moment we leave, use 40 sides of the paper, and reuse our textbooks and so on.

All in all, it weighs greatly for all of us to put the low carbon lifestyle into practice. Just set our mind to these：no-car days, no plastic bags, and no waste. Let’s do it now.

With a determined(坚定的) look on his face, Chicago’s Michael McCarthy held on to the banister(扶手) and climbed to the top of the Willis Tower not long ago. The Tower stands 1,451 feet tall, the 41 building in the US.
　　As he got to the last step, McCarthy 42 fell down, but that didn’t stop him. The 14-year-old boy finally finished climbing the 2,109 steps and arrived at the top, where he 43 cheers from many people.
　　“I just want to show people that 44 a kid with no legs can do it, anyone can do it,” McCarthy said.
　　McCarthy, who was born without legs, has to wear prosthetic legs(假肢) and use a stick to walk. But McCarthy has a strong 45 . He believes having a disability shouldn’t stop anyone 46 achieving his or her success.
　　He has been in a special school 47 he was four. When he decided to climb the Willis Tower, his teacher, Jeff Kohn, was moved by his determination(决心) and offered 48 train him. They 49 more than ten hours practicing climbing stairs and keeping balance with the prosthetics and sticks on the steps every day. “ 50 seems that he never knows how difficult it is. 51 I was so tired that I asked him to rest for a day,” said Kohn. “But he said he was still full of energy and wanted more 52 .”
　　Kohn always walked with McCarthy for the climb. “I　found when climbing the last 10 floors, he went faster,” said Kohn. “He’s the 53 sportsman I’ve ever trained.”
　　McCarthy said he was　 54 of himself and that the tower now holds special meaning. “When I’m older, I’ll　point(指着) to the building and 55 ‘Look at this building I climbed’,”

Reuben, a 12-year-old boy, saw something in a shop window. But the price ---five dollars--- was far beyond his means. He couldn't ask his parents' for the money. His father made a living through ____35____ in Bay Roberts. His mother, Dora, tried hard to feed and clothe their five children.

Hesitating（犹豫) for a few seconds, he opened the ____36____ and talked to the shopkeeper.“…I don't have the money right now. Can you please ____37____ it for me?" "I'll try," the shopkeeper smiled.

Reuben respectfully touched his worn cap and walked out. Hearing the sound of hammering from a side street, he suddenly had an idea. He ran towards the sound and stopped at a construction site (建筑工地). Reuben knew he could collect the discarded nails(被丢弃的钉子) and sell them to the factory for five cents ____38____ .

He looked for nails until sunset. Then he ran to the factory and sold them. Reuben tightly clutched（握紧）the five-cent pieces and ran home. He found a rusty iron can and dropped his ____39____inside. Then he rushed into the barn (谷仓) near his house and hid it. It was dinner time when Reuben got home. His father sat at the big kitchen table, working on a fishnet. Dorawas at the kitchen stove, ready to ____40____ dinner as Reuben took his place at the table. Looking at his mother, Reuben smiled.

Every day after school, Reuben searched the town, keeping to his ____41____ task. Finally, the time had come! He ran into the bam, uncovered the can, poured the coins out, began to count.　 .

He still needed 20 cents! He had to sell four nails ____42____ the day ended. Rushing to the town, Reuben searched every comer. The shadows were lengthening（影子拉长）when Reuben arrived at the factory. The man at the factory was about to ____43____ .

"Please, Mister. I have to sell these nails now - please."

'Why do you need this money so ____44____ ?"

"It's a secret."

The man took the nails, reached into his pocket and put four coins in Reuben's hand.

Clutching the can tightly, Reuben ____45____ for the shop.

"I have the money," he solemnly told the owner.

Back home, his mother was cleaning the kitchen. "Here, Mum! Here!" Reuben shouted as he ran to her. He placed a small box in her roughened hand. She unwrapped it carefully. A blue-velvet jewel box appeared. Dora ____46____ the lid（盖子）.Tears began to blur（模糊）her vision. In gold lettering on a small, almond-shaped brooch(胸针) was the word Mother.

It was Mother's Day, 1946.

When you were young, who rode you around on the back of his bike? Who played football and flew kites with you in the park? Who helped you 21 your first difficult maths problem? Who taught you the difference between 22 ?

Your dad. Now it is your turn to do something for him. This Sunday. June 18^th is 23 Day. So why not do something 24 to thank your dad?

The idea of Father's Day came from a(n) 25 lady called Sonora Smart Dodd in 1909. She wanted a special day to honour her father. He raised(抚养)six children by himself 26 his wife died during the birth of their 27 child. Dodd thought there needed to be a day to honour great and loving dads. Her father was born 28 , so she chose to hold the first Father's Day celebration on his birthday in 1910. In 1924, US president Calvin Coolidge 29 the idea of a national Father's Day. Finally, in 1966, the third Sunday in June was made Father's Day. There are many ways 30 your love and thanks.

Send 31 a greeting card. Usually fathers prefer cards that are not too emotional（易动感情的）. So perhaps choose one that will make him 32 .

A small present, such as a photo of your family, 33 make him feel like a king.

Send him 34 : the red rose is the official Father's Day flower.

If he has a 35 . cover his desktop with words like "I love you, Dad."

Bruce shook his money box again.

Nothing! He carefully counted the coins that lay on the bed. All that he had was $24.52. The　 31　 which he wanted was at least $90. How on earth(究竟) was he going to get the rest of the　 32　 ?

He knew that his friends all had bicycles. It was hard to hang out(闲逛) with people when you were the only one　 33　 a bicycle. He thought about　 34　 he could do. He couldn’t get money from his parents, because he knew they had no extra(额外的) money.

There was only one way to get money, and that was to earn(挣钱) it. He would have to find a job. He decided to ask Mr Clay for　 35　 .

“Well, you can start right here,” said Mr Clay. “You see, my windows need cleaning and my car needs washing”.

That was the beginning of Bruce’s part-time(兼职) job. For the next three　 36　 he worked every day after finishing his homework. He took dogs for walks and cleaned rooms.

The day finally came when Bruce　 37　 his money and found $94.32. He wasted no time and went down to the shop to　 38　 the bicycle he wanted. He rode home proudly, looking forward to　 39　 his new bicycle to his friends. Bruce liked his bicycle very much because he had bought it with his own money. At last, his dream came true, and his parents were　 40　 of him.
