After a long day at school, I walked home with my heavy schoolbag . By the time I got home, I was sweaty, 16 and hungry. I threw my things on the couch and grabbed something from the kitchen to 17 . I passed by the living room and wished I could watch TV , but I knew my 18 would take me the whole night. I grabbed my schoolbag and went 19 to my room, feeling defeated.

Later in the evening , I 22 the sound of the front door opening. And I waited for it—the sound of my mom singing . 23 she sings off-key (跑调), it made me excited that she was here. I ran down the stairs to greet my mom. We 24 and I ran back upstairs to do homework again. I like it when my mom was happy. Her 25 flowed down to me and I got the strength to 26 the stress again.
Sometimes, I wonder how my mom can still be 27 after coming back from work. Every weekday, she wakes up 28 in the morning to go to work and spends an hour on the bus before getting downtown . At a 29 factory, she works standing for the whole day and draws patterns for clothes over and over. After work, she gets stuck in 30 for two hours on her way back home. When I 31 my school life with her work life, I should not be the one to 32 . At least I have some fun things to do at school, while one mistake at work can cost my mom her job. I 33 that my mom has a positive attitude and lives her life with a joyous heart even though there may be 34 . Seeing her happy makes me feel 35 , too.

I was working in a store three years ago. I remember one girl who started 36 there a few months after me. I remember always meeting her. I don’t know 37 but for a strange reason we would never talk. We would just see each other and smile.
She would 38 smile in a really happy way until one day when we got to work in the 39 department again. She 40 as if she was the happiest girl in the world. But I had a strange feeling. So I went up to her and asked,“What’s wrong with you?”She answered, “Why?”I said,“I could feel you’re very 41 today and you’re trying to hide it.”
She was shocked(震惊的) as if I had 42 her deepest secret, so we started 43 .
She told me why she was feeling like that and why she was 44 to hide it and we had a good time together. Time 45 and we became good friends. She’d always tell me I had changed her 46 in so many ways, but I could not 47 how it had happened. I would just smile, not understanding what she 48 by that.
Today this girl is one of my best 49 . I really don’t know what I would do 50
her. She has been there for me in every possible way a friend could be.
I guess what I’m trying to say is you 51 know when you’re helping yourself. I
52this girl never knowing that at the same time I was helping myself by finding a(n)

An interesting experience of my life

It was morning when we arrived. We stepped out of the railway station, having sat in hard seats and not getting much 46 . However, we had energy. First we tried to get return tickets to shanghai, but the tickets seller 47 us that tickets would not be on 48 for another two days. We were a little worried about getting 49 , but we made up our minds to 50 for the hotel to put our bags down. After fighting our way 51 the “gypsy” taxi drivers that tried to 52 us one hundred yuan for the ride, we found a taxi and it 53 cost us thirty yuan to get 54 we had planned to go. When we reached the hotel, there was a window for airplane and train tickets. 55 the man behind the counter could get tickets that day, which we 56 . The most important lesson about China I ever 57 , is to get someone to do your work for you, and it seems to work out much 58 . We were not able to get tickets, but the 59 agents(代理人) could.

When I come across a good article in reading newspapers，I often want to cut and keep it．But just as I am about to do so，I find the article on the 31 side is as much interesting．It may be a discussion of the way to 32 in good health，or advice about how to behave and 33 yourself in society．If I cut the front articles，the opposite one is likely to suffer 34，leaving one half of it or keeping the text 35 the title．Therefore，the scissors would stay before they start， 36 the cutting would be halfway done when I find out the 37 result．
Sometimes two things are to be done at the same time，both worth your 39．You can only take up one of them；the other has to wait or be 39 up．But you know the future is unpredictable—the changed situation may not 40 you to do what is left behind．Thus you are 41 in a difficult position and feel sad．How come nice 42 and clever ideas should gather around all at once? It may happen that your life 43 greatly on your preference of your one choice to the other．
In fact that is what 44 is like；we are often 45 with the two opposite sides of a thing which are both 46 like a newspaper cutting．It often occurs that our attention is 47 to the thing only after we get into another．The former may be more important than the latter and this 48 a divided mind．I still remember a philosopher’s 49：“When one door shuts，another opens in life．”So a casual（不经意的） 50 may not be a bad one．

That's the term being 21 to describe the invisible yet poisonous mixture of gases and particles(颗粒) clinging （依附）to smokers' hair and 22 , not to mention cushions and carpeting, that stays long after second-hand smoke has cleared from a room. The remaining 23 heavy metals, carcinogens(致癌物) and even radioactive materials that young children can get on their hands and take in, 24 if they're crawling or playing on the floor。
Doctors from MassGeneral Hospital for Children in Boston coined the term "third-hand smoke" to 25 these chemicals in a new study that 26 on the risks they pose to infants and children. The study was published in the 27 issue of the journal Pediatrics。
"Everyone knows that second-hand smoke is bad, 28 they don't know about this," said Dr. Jonathan P. Winickoff, the lead author of the study and an assistant professor of pediatrics at Harvard Medical School。
"When their kids are 29 the house, they might smoke. Or they smoke in the car. Or they strap(用带子捆扎) the kid in the car seat in the back and crack the window and 30 , and they think it's okay because the second-hand smoke isn't getting to their 31 . We needed a term to describe these tobacco toxins that aren't 32 ."
The study reported on 33 toward smoking in 1,500 households across the United States. It found that the vast majority of both smokers and nonsmokers were 34 that second-hand smoke is harmful to children. Some 95 percent of nonsmokers and 84 percent of smokers 35 with the statement that "inhaling smoke from a parent's cigarette can 36 the health of infants and children"。
But 37 fewer of those surveyed were aware of the 38 of third-hand smoke. Since the term is so new, the researchers asked people if they agreed with the statement that "breathing air in a room 39 where people smoked yesterday can harm the health of infants and children"。
Only 65 percent of nonsmokers and 43 percent of smokers agreed with that 40 , which researchers interpreted as acknowledgement of the risks of third-hand smoke.
