My now 7-year-old grandson, who lives 100 miles away, has kept my phone number in his mind since he was 4. Since then, he has been 1 me every night before he goes to bed to tell me about his day or just to say “Good night, Grandma.”
He also often calls me at other times during the day just to 2 a happy or sad moment. Many times he’s playing a basketball with one hand, or laughing with a friend about something that I 3 quite understand, or crying about something he may or may not want to talk about while I’m on the other end of the phone. I just listen and empathize (同情) or laugh with him—just share his current (当前的) 4 . I always let him control the 5 , and the time he’s on the phone with me. Many times I just listen to him play, or play games we’ve made up together that we can play over the 6 .
The only time I take control of the 7 is when he’s ready to say goodbye at night. Often there are four special 8 I say to him every night. One night I thought maybe he was tired to hear those, so I didn’t say them. He 9 called me back and told me that I forgot to say those sentences! I haven’t missed saying them since then!
My friends all know that he is the most important for me. 10 I’m in church(教堂), or some place where I really can’t take his call, I always politely excuse myself and talk to him, even if it’s just for a minute to tell him I’ll call him back in a few minutes.
He knows that he takes first place in my heart.

Hi! I 'm doing a survey on teaching materials in school． What kind of textbooks do you use？ Do you think the use of photocopied（复印的） netbooks and newspaper articles in the classroom can be accepted？ Please give your （1） ． |
|
The use of such materials is certainly not （2） for writers． Textbooks are like other creative works． Many people have to put their efforts in the writing of a book． The efforts of the writers and publishers will be totally wasted if everyone photocopies their textbooks． I can't imagine that! |
|
I don' t think it right to use photocopied materials even in the classroom because it's against the law． Teachers should set a good example for their students by （3） the law． |
|
Copied books are as good as copyrighted（正版的）ones， but they don't （4） much， usually less than half the price． In addition， it is so （5） to use copied materials． When we want to share something good we just have it photocopied． I think photocopying is OK because publishers are still making a lot of money anyway． |
|
Most of the time， teachers make sure their students do not use photocopied materials． But I know some teachers do use photocopied newspaper articles sometimes， as their students are eager to learn more to widen their views． As you know，teachers always put the （6） of students above anying else． After all， you can't expect all the students to buy newspapers． |

Children like to copy（模仿）what they hear．They copy their parents，their friends and even the TV．This teaches them how to speak the language．Copying is also（36） for students of a second language．When you listen to foreigners speak English，repeat （37）____ they say．
Children don't practice grammar，but they can use the language to talk about things that （38）______them．They don't complain （39） their small vocabulary or poor grammar．They can find ways to express themselves，and they do it（40） ．
