I was a single parent of four small children, working at a low-paid job. Money was always tight, but we had a 36 over our heads, food on the table, clothes on our backs, and if not a lot, always 37 . Not knowing we were poor, my kids(孩子们) just thought I was 38 . I’ve always been glad about that.
It was Christmas time, and although there wasn’t 39 for a lot of gifts, we planned to celebrate with a family party. But the big 40 for the kids was the fun of Christmas 41 .
They planned weeks ahead of time, asking 42 what they wanted for Christmas. Fortunately, I had saved $120 for 43 to share by all five of us.

I never felt so 55 as I did that day.

Shopping habits in the United States have changed greatly in the last quarter of the 20th century. 36 in the 1900s most American towns and cities had a Main Street.

If I had known earlier that there was a reason why I was a low achiever, I may not have worked so hard in my late twenties and early thirties. I was writing. I was working for no other reason than to hear people51 me.
Most people who52 university read at least twice as fast as I do. I've never known my left53 my right. I avoid dialing a telephone if I can, because I sometimes have to try three times to get the number54 . I hear that recording "The55 you have reached is not in service." more than any man on the earth.
In spite of my 56 I view dyslexia(朗读困难) as a gift, not something bad. Many dyslexics are good at right-brain, advanced thought, and that's what my kind of creating writing is. I' m starting with nothing and coming up with something that didn't57 before. That' s my advantage.

I write 64 . I go like the wind and can65 up to 15 pages a day. Writing is not the66 . I have no problem in downloading; it's inputting where things get jumbled(混乱).
The real67 I have for the dyslexics is not that they have to68 with jumbled input, but that they will give up before they finish school. Parents have to create victories69 they can, whether it' s music, sports or arts. You want your dyslexic child to be able to say, "Yeah, reading is70 . But I have other things I can do."

Before the woman left, she found a middle-aged woman who was also 46 cold and she handed her the sweater. “47 it,” she said. “The view is even better when you’re warm.”
My friend was 48 in that, so he kept his eyes on the sweater. He noticed that before the current (现在的) 49 of the sweater left, she came near to a trembling (颤抖的) man, 50 it to him and said, “Here ... keep the sweater. The view is 51 better when you’re warm.”
“That happened a couple of years ago,” my friend said. “And as far as I know, that 52 is still on top of Casper Mountain, going from one person to another.”

It’s December again. In addition to the excitement about 50 down to the holidays and parties. This month is also about long study hours for thousands of senior college students in China.
According to the Ministry of Education, the number of postgraduate 51 has risen again this year. The ministry has even 52 the enrollment dates to allow for the 53 applicants. However. I do not see the point of enrolling in postgraduate study 54 after college.
Postgraduate programs are 55 on specific fields and on advanced research and study. They also require 56 knowledge you can only gain from the workplace. If your goal is to gain more skills, you should try harder to find a job. Employers want 57 . not more qualifications. Otherwise, postgraduate study straight is a 58 of time and money.
Job applicants with a master’s degree often find that their competitors hold 59 qualifications.
Ten years ago, graduates with bachelor degrees had no problem finding employment, but authorities 60 the number of university places in 1999 and now where are millions of graduates without work.
It appears that postgraduate education will 61 this history of undergraduate education.
62 , the human resources staff faced with the choice between two applicants with masters degrees will usually choose the graduate from the more 63 undergraduate school. A bachelor’s degree from a key university is more helpful than a master’s degree sometimes.
If you don’t have working experience when you graduate, you will have the same problem even though you go on to 64 a master’s degree immediately.
