You must have heard these words like how happy it is to be a child. But would you honestly change places with a child? Think of the at school. The years spent living in constant fear of examinations and school . Every movement you make, every thought you think is by some adults. Think of the you had to go to bed early, you had to eat thing that was supposed to be good for you. Remember how “gentle” pressure was given to you with words like “If you don’t do as I say, I will…” I’m sure you will never !
, these are only part of child’s . No matter how kind and loving parents may be, children often from some terrible and illogical fears since they can’t understand the world around them. They often have such in the dark or . Adults can their fears with other adults children have to face their fears alone.
But the most part of childhood is a period when you to go out of it, the period when you go into adolescence(青春期). Teenagers start to be against their parents and this them great unhappiness. There is a complete of self-confidence during this time. Adolescents pay much attention to their and the impression (印象)they make on others. They feel shy, awkward and clumsy. Feelings are strong and hearts broken. Teenagers moments of great happiness or black despair. And through this period, adults seem to be unkind than ever.

Family is the most important part of human life. There, we 16 and learn to show 17 like: love, fondness, responsibility and friendship. We 18a lot of time with our family members—in a daily life and during 19 days like festivals or something like that. In our century the model of one-child family began to be fashionable. 20 there are many extended families, too, where grandmother, grandfather, uncles, aunts, nieces, daughters, sons etc. live under the same 21 .
That situation, when children live with their parents, has both advantages and disadvantages. Grandparents can help their 22 children with looking after and bringing up their grandchildren.

“Long time no see” is a very interesting sentence. When I first read this sentence from an American friend’s email, I laughed. I thought it was a typical _36__ of Chinglish.

To my surprise, there are over 60 thousand web pages 41 “Long time no see”. This sentence has been 42 used in emails, letters, newspapers, moves, or any other possible place. Though it is 43 informal, it is part of the language that Americans use daily. 44 , if you type this phrase in Microsoft Word, the 45 will tell you that the grammar needs to be corrected.
Nobody knows the 46 of this Chinglish sentence. Some people believe that it came from Charlie Chan’s movies. In 1930s, Hollywood moviemakers successfully 47 a world wide famous Chinese detective named “Charlie Chan” on wide screens. Detective Chan liked to teach Americans some Chinese wisdom 48 quoting (引用) Confucius. “Long time no see” was his trademark. Soon “Long time on see” became a49 phrase in America 50 the popularity of these movies.

Inspiration
“Mama, when I grow up, I’m going to be one of those!” I said this after seeing the Capital Dancing Company perform when I was three. It was the first time that my __36__ took on a vivid form and acted as something important to start my training. As I grew older and was __37__ to more, my interests in the world of dance __38__ varied but that little girl’s dream of someday becoming a __39__ in the company never left me. In the summer of 2005 when I was 18, I received the phone call which made that dream a __40__; I became a member of the company __41__ back to 1925.
As I look back on that day now, it surely __42__ any sense of reality. I believe I stayed in a state of pleasant disbelief __43__ I was halfway through rehearsals (排练) on my first day. I never actually __44__ to get the job. After being offered the position, I was completely __45__. I remember shaking with excitement.
Though I was absolutely thrilled with the change, it did not come without its fair share of __46__. Through the strict rehearsal period of dancing six days a week, I found it vital to __47__ up the material fast with every last bit of concentration. It is that extreme __48__ to detail (细节) and stress on practice that set us __49__. To then follow those high-energy rehearsals __50__ a busy show schedule of up to five performances a day, I discovered a new __51__ of the words “hard work.” What I thought were my physical __52__ were pushed much further than I thought __53__. I learned to make each performance better than the last.
Today, when I look at the unbelievable company that I have the great __54__ of being a part of, not only as a member, but as a dance captain, I see a __55__ that has inspired not only generations of little girls but a splendid company that continues to develop and grow-and inspires people every day to follow their dreams.
