Suppose someone gave you a pen---a sealed(密封的),solid‑coloured pen. You couldn’t see how much 21 it had. It might run dry 22 the first few tentative (试探的) words or last just long and make a difference in the scheme of things. You don’t know when the ink will 24 .
Under the rules of the game, you really never know. You have to 25 a chance! Actually, no rule of the game states you must do anything. 26 picking up and using the pen, you could leave it on a shelf or in a drawer where it will dry up, 27 .But if you do decide to use it, what would you 28 it? How would you 29 the game?
Would you plan and plan before you ever 30 a word? Would your plans be so extensive that you never didn’t even start 31 ? Or would you take the pen 32 ,plunge right in and Just do it, struggling to keep up 33 the twists and turns of the torrent (急流)of words that take you where they take you?
Would you write cautiously and 34 ,as if the pen might run dry the next moment, or would you pretend to believe that the pen would write forever and go on accordingly?
And what would you write about:Love? Hate? Fun? Misery? Life? Death? Nothing? 35 ?
Would you write to 36 just yourself? Or others? Or yourself by writing about others?
Would you even write? Once you have the pen ,no 37 says you have to write. Would you sketch? Scribble(潦草地写)?Doodle(涂鸦)or draw? Would you stay in or on the 38 ,or see no lines at all, even if they 39 there? There’s a lot to think about here, isn’t there?
Now, 40 someone gave you a life…

I often quarrel about my mother over whether I can watch TV after school. She holds view that senior three students have to make fully use of every minute to work hard at their lessons. It seems to me that once I am allowed to do that, I’ll unable to control myself and forget all about my study. She also thinks it is bad for my eye. But I really can’t accept her ideas. In my opinion, watch TV can set my mind at rest after a day’s hard works. Besides, it is important for us to know what had happened both at home and at abroad. Thus, we shouldn’t be forbidden to watch TV.

Doctors say anger can be an extremely damaging emotion, unless you learn how to deal with it. They warn that anger can lead to heart disease, stomach problems, headaches, emotional problems and possibly cancer.
______ Some people express anger openly in a calm reasonable way. Others burst with anger, and scream and yell. But other people keep their anger inside. They can not or will not express it. This is called repressing anger.

Some doctors say that both repressing and expressing anger can be dangerous. They believe that those who express anger violently may be more likely to develop heart disease, and they believe that those who keep anger inside may face a greater danger of high blood pressure.
______ They say the first step is to admit that you are angry and to recognize the real cause of the anger, then decide if the cause is serious enough to get angry about. If it is, they say, “______ Wait until your anger has cooled down and you are able to express yourself calmly and reasonably.”

I often read of incidents of misunderstanding or conflict. I'm left . Why do these people create mistrust and problems, especially with those from other ?
I was growing up in Kuala Lumpur in the early 1960s, children from different races and religions played and studied in harmony. At that time my family lived a stone's from Ismail's. And no one was bothered that Ismail was a Malay Muslim and I was an Indian Hindu—we just our differences. Perhaps,our elders had not filled our heads with unnecessary advice, well or otherwise.
We were nine when we became friends. During the school holidays, we 'd the countryside on our bicycles,hoping to the unexpected. At times Ismail would accompany my family as we made a rare shopping trip to town. We would be glad of his .
When I was twelve, my family moved to Johor. Ismail's family later returned to their village, and I touch with him. One spring afternoon in 1983, I stopped a taxi in Kuala Lumpur. I my destination. The driver acknowledged my but did not move off. Instead, he looked at me. “Raddar?" he said, using my childhood nickname (绰号).I was astonished at being so addressed (称呼).Unexpectedly! It was Ismail! Even after two we still recognized each other. Grasping his shoulder, I felt a true affection, something to describe.
If we can allow our children to be without prejudice, they'll build friendships with people,regardless of race or religion, who will be their side through thick and thin. On such friendships are societies built and we can truly be, as William Shakespeare once wrote, “We happy few. We band of brothers".
