All through high school, students dream of McDonald’ s for lunch instead of school lunches. , they don’t have that opportunity here. They have to what the school has provided for them. In my opinion, they deserve to have lunches outside of the school.
By teens to spend lunchtime outside, the school could save a lot of money, which could be used to more school programs. As we know, school lunches are subsidized（补贴）by the government. That’s why food in school is sold . If students are able to go outside at noon, the school will spend less money on the program. And the school can use the money saved for things, such as sports equipment or new books.
If students are able to have lunch outside of the school, they will get more about how the real world works. If they stand in a cafeteria line every day, they won’t have the to get involved in wider society. Students, those who are about to graduate, need to know what to expect when they’re on their own. Eating outside makes it possible for them to more of the outside world.
It is for the school to place more trust in teens. They should be trusted enough to eat out and on time. School officials argue that they’re making sure children are by keeping them in school since they’re worried that something might happen to children. Of course, lunch rush can be , especially if teens race outside and back to school at the expected time. But the students are now enough to be responsible for their own behavior. All teens have been taught to road rules when they are outside alone.
, the school should let students go outside for lunch. It gives students a sense of and responsibility, and they deserve to be trusted.

For centuries, magicians have used various ways to shock the audience. We all have seen how a 36 performer carefully steps 37 a bed of burning coals -- barefoot. Then he walks across 38 a single burn on his feet. Is it mind over matter, or is it just physics? As it turns __39 , walking on burning coals isn’t that hot as 40 . “The coals are hot enough to 41__ you, but if you walk quickly across them you 42 being burned.” says Jonathan Hall, a physician at Penn State University in Eric Pennsylvania.
That’s because some coals are made 43 burning wood chips. Wood has two 44__ properties（特性）for fire-walking, explains Hall. First, wood is an insulator（绝缘体）--it doesn’t __45 heat very well. “It 46 _ time for heat to travel 47 the wood to your feet.” Hall says. If the performer walked across red-hot metal 48 , that would truly be 49 , because metal conducts, or transmits, heat very well. The metal would 50 burn a performer’s feet.
Second, wood has a low specific heat-- it doesn’t take much heat to 51 its temperature. Heat is a form of 52 . Temperature is a 53 of heat, in units of degrees. So 54 the coals are hot, the value（数值）of heat energy they contain is low. Thus, a well-trained performer can 55 such an amazing result.
Still, you don’t want to walk on burning coals, do you?

One weekend afternoon I toured an art museum while waiting for my husband to finish a business meeting．I was looking forward to a quiet 36 of the splendid artwork．
A young 37 viewing the paintings ahead of me 38 nonstop between themselves．I watched them a moment and decided the lady was doing all the talking．I admired the man's 39 for putting up with her 40 stream of words． 41 by their noise, I moved on．
I met them several times as I moved 42 the various rooms of art．Each time I heard her continuous flow of words, I moved away 43 .
I was standing at the counter of the museum gift shop making a 44 when the couple approached the 45 ．Before they left, the man 46 into his pocket and pulled out a white object．He 47 it into a long stick and then 48 his way into the coatroom to get his wife's jacket．

"Can't see! You're 51 ．He sees a lot．More than you and I do," the clerk said．"His wife 52 each painting so he can see it in his head．"
I learned something about patience, 53 and love that day．I saw the patience of a young wife describing paintings to a person without 54 and the courage of a'' husband who would not 55 blindness to change his life．And I saw the love shared by two people as I watched this couple walk away, their arms intertwined．

For most people, graduation is an exciting day, but my graduation day was not.
I remember that weekend two years ago. Family and friends had flown in from across the country to 36 the celebration. But just like everyone else in my class, I had watched the37 turn from bad to worse in my senior year. Almost all of us graduates had degrees, but very uncertain 38 .
The weeks ahead weren’t 39 . I knew my small university town couldn’t offer me any opportunities, 40 I packed up my car and drove to Southern California to find work. But what I thought would take a 41 dragged into two, and then four, and 100 job applications later, I found myself in the exact same 42 as I was before.
You know that feeling when you wake up in 43 ? That feeling became a constant in my life. Days felt like weeks, weeks like months, and those many months felt like everlasting 44 . And the most annoying part was no matter how much I tried, I just couldn’t seem to make any 45 .
So what did I do to keep my good sense? I decided to 46 . Something about putting words on a page made everything seem a little clearer — a little brighter. Something about writing gave me 47 . And if you want something 48 enough, sometimes a little hope is all you 49 !
I put my thoughts into a children’s book. Beyond the River was the story of an unlikely hero, a little fish, who 50 to give up his dream.
And then one day, without any sort of writing degree or contacts in the writing world — just a lot of hard work and determination —I was offered a 51 contract for my first book! After that, things slowly began to fall into 52 . I was offered a second book deal. Then, a few months later, I got an interview with the Walt Disney Company and was 53 shortly after.
Don’t give up. Even if things look 54 now, don’t give up. If you work hard, things will always get better. Often times our dreams lie in wait just a little further upstream ... all we need is the55 to push beyond the river.

It was 20 years ago. I was driving home with my 4-year-old son. Traffic was light. I was singing quietly along 36 the song playing on the radio. I 37 at the intersection and looked both ways. The road was 38 . I slowly started to make a right turn when suddenly a car rounded the curve at high speed and came 39 at me. I stomped (猛踩) on the brakes of my car killing the engine in the process. The speeder zoomed (疾驰) past my dead car 40 me by inches without even slowing down.
41 I knew it, a stream of rude words was flying from my lips, 42 after the car and its driver. I then saw my son who was staring up at me 43 . With a red face and a(an) 44 smile I started the car, pulled back onto the road, and headed home.
Later that evening I was reading a book when I heard certain45 words coming from my son’s bedroom. He was replaying the 46 over and over in his mind. Too 47 I realized the 48 of those words that had flown from my lips in that moment of 49 . It took a lot of talks about good language and bad language with my son to undo (消除)the 50 of that incident.
That 51 , however, did teach me just how strong words 52 be. It helped me to decide to stop swearing (咒骂) in my own life and to start using words that uplift and inspire instead. I slowly realized that language is a 53 from God and should be used to make our world better but not worse. I learned 54 that a few loving words can help a hurting heart, strengthen a 55 spirit, and lighten a heavy load. I pray then that all of your words today are full of love, joy, happiness, and light.
