Do you remember who gets angry because you forget to tidy up your room before going out? Do you remember who feels with your dress from head to feet? This person is your boss nor your friend. It’s funny that you have to to her even though you sometimes don’t like to hear anything she has said. It’s our mother, a great in the world to us.
I always my mother if we have a “long time no see”. But this kind of missing is always quieted down by because I come back home for comfort and but mum always puts more pressure on me. Of course, I know she about me too much and just has a lot of words to tell me. But the turns to be pressure. On the other hand, I hurt her and make her feel lonely even though I am her. Then what can we do? This problem is really hard to deal with. I think not I have this problem. Here are my ideas. When we find there are some unhappy things going to , shall we just stop for 30 ? Give me a chance to rest in your arms and we sing a childish song together just like when I was ? I need your love indeed but without telling me to do as you wish me to. And then let’s go out for a walk hand in hand. Tell me what’s in your gently and slowly. I will feel better if you don’t just pour them out.

Some time ago, my wife and I traveled to visit my sister. We had taken more clothes than we needed and struggled onto the train. In front of us, in a face-to-face seat, 16 six young men in their early 20s. They were strong and 17 , and I disliked them immediately. They were laughing loudly, obviously 18 themselves and they 19 a foreign language.
As we went quickly 20 the countryside, I kept an eye on them as they joked around. Sometimes they took a look in our direction. When two of them go out 21 , relaxed a little. The rest of them 22 to laugh and joke in their own language.
When we finally arrived at our 23 , only one of them was left on the train. He was obviously 24 too and as I struggled towards him with my heavy luggage(行李)，he reached out and asked in English “Want a hand wth that, mate?”
He 25 the heavier bag up the station steps for us. We were pleasantly surprised and very grateful.

Two teachers were sitting in the teachers' room. For a moment there was silence. Then one of them, Miss Smith, said, "I'm afraid I'd have to fail him! I just can’t let him 16 . "
"Now Alice," said her friend, Mrs Jackson, "is he so terrible a student?"
"That's just the trouble!" the other woman answered, "Tom was ever my 17 student. The problem is that he is so lazy that he never gets his work done. He hasn't handed me a piece of homework for three 18 !"
Mrs Jackson had never seen Miss Smith so 19 before. "Have you had a word with him about it?" she asked.
"Why should I? Every student must hand in homework. I made 20 very clear on the first day for class. I don't know what has happened. When the lessons started, he did so well that I 21 thought about asking the school to give him a scholarship(奖学金). But now he often sleeps in class! I've never seen such a22in a student."
"You should have a talk with him. Give him a chance. "
Miss Smith spoke to Tom and learned all about it. He was studying all day and working most of the night in a factory to 23 for his schooling. Of course he was 24in class and sometimes could hardly 25 awake. Miss Smith soon asked the school to give him a scholarship and he was able to devote himself to his lessons again.

Electronic books have changed the way many people read for 15 . Now online textbooks are changing the way some students learn and some teachers teach.
More than 16 students go to the public schools in Fairfax County, Virginia, outside Washington. Last year, the school system used digital books in fifteen schools. This school year, middle schools and high schools changed 17 printed to electronic textbooks in their social studies classes.
“I mean, it’s just 18a regular textbook, except it’s got it all online.” says Luke Rosa, a history teacher at Falls Church High School.
Peter Noonan, an assistant superintendent(主管) of schools says, “The world’s changing 19 . And the online textbooks can change right along with the events that 20 .”
“Digital books also cost 21 than printed textbooks,” he says, “Usually it’s between fifty and seventy dollars 22a textbook for each student, which adds up to about eight million dollars for all of our students in Fairfax County. In fact, we have bought all of the online textbooks for our students for just under six million dollars.”
Social studies teacher Michael Bambara says the e-book he uses in his government class is better than a(an) 23 textbook. It has materials for students 24 different levels of reading skills…

Adults usually do not remember most of the things that are taught by their teachers at school. But this story is one 16 that I will never forget.
It was a normal Monday morning, and my teacher was teaching us about 17 things in life and about devoting ourselves to what we really need. This is how the story went:
18 lived in a certain part of London, and he would wake up every morning and go to the underground. He would get onto the train right to Central London, and then sit at the street corner and 19 . He would do this every single day of his life. He sat at 20 street corner and begged for almost 20 years.
His 21 was dirty, and a stench （恶臭） came out. The neighbors could not bear the 22 any more, so they called for the police officers to clear the place. The officers knocked down the door and 23 the house. There were small bags of 24 all over the house that he had collected over the years.
The police counted the money, and they soon 25 that the old man was a millionaire. They waited outside his house expecting to 26 the good news with him. When the old man arrived home that evening, one of the officers told him that there was no need for him to beg any more as he was a 27 man now, a millionaire.
But the old man said 28 ;he went into his house and locked the door. The next morning he woke up 29 ,went to the underground, sat at the same street corner and continued to beg.
Clearly, this old man had no great plans, 30 or anything significant (重大的) for his life. We learn nothing from this story but to stay focused on the things we enjoy doing.

One Monday morning, I was standing waiting for the train and suddenly felt ill. I couldn’t stand still, and the world began to sway（摇摆）and then went black.

I was so busy cleaning my new house that I didn’t eat33 last weekend.
The doctor told me that a gentleman waiting for the 34 saw me fall down. He got to my side 35 , and told others to call 120. He stayed with me 36 the ambulance（救护车）arrived. Then he went with me to the hospital, which made him 37 his train. The doctor told me the gentleman didn’t want to leave his name.
