As we all know “ The hand that rocks the cradle rules the world.” and “ 26 every successful man there is a woman.” Both these 27 mean the same things. Men rule the 28__ , but their wives rule them.
Chinese people and other foreigners often say, 29_ of the American women like making their husbands and sons successful, but some of them want 30__ for themselves. They want good 31 . When they work they want to 32__ better paid. They want to be as 33__ as men.
In the 1960s, the American women’s liberation 34 was started by women who don’t want to 35 behind successful men. They want to stand beside them, with the same 36__ for success. They don’t want to be told that certain jobs or 37__ are closed to them. They refused to work side by side with men who do the 38 work for higher pay.
In America, a liberation woman must be 39 of being a woman and have confidence in herself. If somebody says to her, “ You have come a long 40 , baby”, she will 41 and answer, “Not nearly as 42 as I am going to go, baby.”
On the other hand , this movement is quite 43 and many American women do not agree. 44__ it has already made some important 45__ in women’s lives.

I went to town to do some shopping, and while I was walking through the park 31my way home, it began to rain. I quickly ran into a nearby phone box because I didn’t have an umbrella. It was raining hard and I decided to stay in the phone box 32it stopped.
A few minutes later, I saw a young man walk up to the phone box, wearing a yellow raincoat and holding a tool box. I didn’t want to go out into the rain, so I 33the phone and pretended I was talking to 34. I thought he would go away, 35he didn’t. He just waited in the heavy rain, watching me wave 36hands about and act as if I was deep in conversation.
37, the rain stopped after about ten minutes. “OK, Mum,”I said loudly into the phone, “I’ll see you later. Bye!”I put the phone down and went out of the phone box. “I’m sorry to keep you 38for so long.”I said to the man.
Oh,“I don’t want to use the 39.”he replied. “I’ve just come to repair it. It doesn’t work, you see.”

One of my fondest Christmas memories was also one of our family’s bleakest（最令人沮丧的）.We were just little kids , and on Christmas Day mom 21 us all around her to tell us , 22 ,that there would be no presents because all we really wanted was to 23 for our daddy.He was very sick . I don’t remember anything else except four little girls surrounding my mother, crying 24 a miracle（奇迹）
At that very moment ,someone 25 loudly on the door. 26 Behind him was a merry group of soldiers from the Army base where my father 27 as a minister . News had 28 that we were in trouble ,and his colleagues knew we needed some 29 .
With all the excitement ,even my dad 30 in a blanket to keep warm , came down and sat in front of a roaring fire in our room to watch his children be 31 by good Samaritants（乐善好施的人）. The presents were unwrapped , and we girls 32 packages and found a doll each and four board games.
What is 33 to me is that I don’t even remember what sickness my father was suffering from.I 34 remember an evening of laughter and 35 There were no expensive toys but 36 moments of friendship and fun given by young men who knew that a family was having a(n) 37 time . They gave their time and their 38 to little children who needed to laugh.
The most important thing in life aren’t things . And what about the true 39 of holidays ? I hope we all are able to remember a thing about the holidays that stirs(搅动)our heart , that isn’t really a thing at all, but the smile on a child’s face because we take a moment to hug or 40 a tear.

26 not uncommon to hear Chinese praising the play of their women on the volleyball court and 27 the play of the men. The topic is often laughed off as a joke, but 28 a reason for the perceived (感觉到) 29 of women’s athletics in China.
At the 2000 Sydeny Games, China’s women won 30 gold medals than the men. In Athens in 2004, the women won 19 gold medals, while the men won 12. 31 , American women accounted for 12 of the country’s 35 gold medals in 2004.
This summer, again the women are widely 32 to help with China’s medal tally(记录).wrestling coach Zhang Zhetian is counting 33 the women’s team for a wrestling medal. “Guys—you’ve got to push them more.” He told the Wall Street Journal.
Tennis coach Sun Jinfang shares this view: “Women know 34 eat bitterness,” she said. Sun has helped to put four double players into the Women’s Tennis Association top 30. no male Chinese tennis players are ranked.
Some experts believe they’ve 35 a reason for the disparity(不同). China has long respected strong women, 36 the folk hero Hua Mulan and the much-beloved former Vice-premier Wu Yi. This ideology(意识形态), they think, creates a space 37 women who are loyal, filial(孝顺) or who give service to the nation 38 .
“Besides China, no other nation gives equal financial support and media attention to 39 sports. That’s why China 40 challenge the US in medals---it treats men and women41 ,” Susan Brownell, a professor at42 University of Missouri in St. Louis who 43 Chinese sports, told the Wall Street Journal.
Now, however, more money is being 44 on men’s professional sports, which usually attract more views. This could change the gender gap as sports grow 45 commercialized (商业化的) in China, according to the Wall Street Journal.

A long time ago, there was an emperor(皇帝). One day he told his horseman that if he could ride on his horse and 36 as much land area as he liked, he would give him the area of land he had covered. 37 enough, the horseman quickly jumped onto his horse and 38 as fast as possible to cover as much land area as he could. He 39 riding and riding, whipping the horse to go as fast as possible. Even when he was 40 or tired, he did not stop 41 he wanted to cover as much area as possible. When he at last covered a large amount of land, he was exhausted and was 42 . Then he asked himself, “Why did I 43 myself so hard to cover so much land area? Now I am dying and I only 44 a very small area to 45 myself.”
The above story is 46 to the journey of our 47 . We push ourselves very hard every day to make more 48 , to gain power or recognition. We neglect(疏忽，忘记) our 49 , time with our family and to appreciate(欣赏) the surrounding 50 and the things we love to do. One day 51 we look back, we will 52 that we don’t really need that much, 53 then we cannot turn back time for what we have 54 .
Life is not about making money. Life is definitely(肯定地) not about work! Work is only 55 to keep us living so as to enjoy the beauty and pleasures of life.
