Then on a rainy day I 22 to tell him my feeling . When we stopped at the school gate, the 23 big smile appeared on my father’s face . I 24 what would happen next. I 25 put my hand up and for the first time said “ No” to him . The smile on his face immediately changed into a 26 look. He looked at me for a long time and 27 began to appear in his eyes.

I’ve always had strong opinions of how love should be expressed, but others had their own ways of showing care.
What I 36 most about visiting my boyfriend’s parents is the loud tick of the clock in the dining room as we 37 ate our meal. With so little conversation I was quick to 38 his family as cold. When we got into the 39 to go home, his father suddenly appeared. 40 , he began to wash his son’s windscreen. I could feel he is a caring man through the glass.
I learned another lesson about love a few years later. My father often 41 me early in the morning. “Buy Xerox. It’s a good sharp price,” he might say when I answered the phone. No pleasant 42 or inquiry about my life ,just financial instructions. This manner of his 43 me and we often quarreled. But one day, I thought about my father’s success in business and realized that his concern for my financial security lay behind his 44 morning calls. The next time he called and told me to buy a stock, I 45 him.
When my social style has conflicted with that of my friends, I’ve often felt 46 . For example, I always return phone calls 47 and regularly contact with my friends. I expect the same from them. I had one friend who rarely called, answering my messages with short e-mails. I rushed to the 48 : She wasn’t a good friend! My anger 49 as the holidays approached. But then she came to a gathering I 50 and handed me a beautiful dress I had fallen in love with when we did some window-shopping the previous month. I was 51 at her thoughtfulness, and regretful for how I’d considered her to be 52 . Clearly I needed to change my expectations of friends.
Far too often, I ignored their 53 expressions, eagerly expecting them to do things in my 54 .Over the years, however, I’ve learned to 55 other persons, love signs.

Learning is natural. It begins the minute we are born. Our 36 teachers are our families. __37 home we learn to speak and to 38 and feed ourselves. We learn these and other skills by 39__ our parents.
Then we go to school. A teacher tells us 40 to learn. Many teachers teach us, and we pass many 41 .Then people say we are 42 .
Are we really educated? Let’s think about the real meaning of 43 . Knowing facts does not mean being able to solve problems. Solving problems 44 creativity, not just a good 45 . Some people who don’t know many facts are good at solving problems.
Henry Ford is a good 46 . He went to school at the age of 15. Later, when his company could not build cars 47 , he solved the problem. He thought of the assembly line (装配线). Today the answer seems 48 . Yet think of the many university graduates who have 49 solved such a problem.

True learning combines（联系） intake with output. We take information 53 our brains. Then we use it. Think of a computer, it stores a lot of 54 but it can’t think. It only 55 commands. A person who only remembers facts hasn’t really learned. Learning takes place only when a person can use what he knows.
