I stayed at home with my 5-year-old daughter Lily. When I was reading some magazines, Lily played in the living room. But after a while I noticed nothing but 31 .
She had never been so quiet. Was she 32 ? I asked what she was doing. The 33 finally came after I 34 my question three times. I heard “Nothing”. Never could I believe she just stayed there and kept quiet. So I walked into the living room. She hurried off. I 35 her to turn around but she 36 . I got a little angry. “Young lady,” I said, “turn around!”
37 she turned toward me. In her hand was my wife’s new lipstick, only a little 38 . Besides her lips, every inch of her face was covered with bright red.
As she looked up at me with 39 eyes, I really got angry. I was about to 40 at her so that she would know what a mistake she had made. 41 before I could shout, I noticed the big letters she had written on her white skirt with the lipstick, “I’M A PERFECT ANGEL!”
Something strange 42 me. I looked back at her red face. This time, instead of seeing a 43 girl, I saw a little angel that I had almost missed!
“Lily, I heard you speak to the toys just now. I guess you were teaching them how to use the lipstick. But should an angel use her mom’s lipstick like this?” Lily lowered her head, “Sorry. I won’t do it again.” I smiled. “Go and wash your face and let’s get a new 44 for mom.”
Every child is an angel. I felt 45 that I didn’t hurt the angel through treating her mistake in a right way.

We are warned by our teachers not to waste time because time 26 will never return. I think it quite 27. What does time look 28 ? Nobody knows, and we can’t see it or touch it and no 29 of money can buy it. Time is abstract(抽象的), so we have to 30 about it.
Time passes very quickly. Some students say they don’t have 31 time to review their lessons. It is 32 they don’t know how to make use of their time. They waste it in going to theatres or playing, and 33 other useless things. Why do we study everyday? Why do we work? Why do most people 34 take buses instead of walking? The answer is very 35 .We wish to save time because time is36.
Today we are living in the 21st century. We 37 time as life. When a person dies, his life ends. Since life is short, we must 38 our time and energy to our study so that we 39 be able to work and live well in the future. Laziness is the 40 of time, for it not only brings us 41 , but also does other 42 to us. If it is necessary for us to do our work today, 43 we do it today and not 44 it until tomorrow.

I do a lot of management training each year for the Circle K Company. Among the 21 we discuss in our classes is the 22 of quality employees(雇员)
“What has caused you to stay 23 enough to become a manager?" I asked. After a while a new manager took the 24 and said slowly, "it was a baseball glove.”
Cynthia said she used to 25 a Circle K clerk job as an interim (时临的.) one while she looked for something 26 . On her second day behind the counter, she received a (an) 27 from her nine-year-old son, Jessie. He 28 a baseball glove for the little League. She 29 that as a single mother, money was 30 , and her first check would have to go for paying 31.
When Cynthia arrived for work the next morning, Partircia, the store manager asked her to come to her small office and handed her a box. “I overheard you 32 to your son yesterday,” she said, “and I know that it is 33 to explain things to kids. This is a baseball glove for Jessie. I know you have to pay bills 34 you can buy gloves. You know we can’t 35 good people like you as 36 as we would like to; but we do 37 and I want you to know how 38 you are to us.”

Mobile phones are everywhere in big cities. It seems that 16 can survive without one. Mobile phones are a great 17 to stay connected with friends and family. 18 , it is important to remember that there are certain times 19 you should not be using your phone, especially as a student, during school.
20 you are in class, you should not be sending your friends text messages 21 taking phone calls. Your classmates and teacher should not have to deal with this rude 22 . Aren’t you at school to learn?
In the United States, students would never be allowed to 23 their mobile phones during class. If you were to send or 24 a text message you would probably be kicked 25 class. It is very disturbing to hear a lot of tones and ringing during 26. There are many more rules for mobile phone use in America and it is to 27 respect for those around you.
