As she walked round the large shop, Edith realized how difficult it was to choose a suitable Christmas 16 for her father. She wished that he were as easy to please as her mother, who was always 17 with all kinds of perfume(香水). Besides, shopping at this time of the year was a most 18 job.

Partly to have a rest, Edith paused in front of a counter, where some beautiful ties were on show. “They are 22 silk,” the shop assistant told her with a smile trying to 23 her to buy one. But Edith knew from past 24 that her choice of ties hardly ever pleased her father.
She moved on slowly and then, quite by chance, 25 where a small crowd of men had gathered round a counter. She found some fine pipes on sale and the 26 were very beautiful. Edith did not hesitate for long, 27 her father only smoked a pipe once in a while, she believed this was 28 to please him.
When she got home, with her small but wellchosen present hidden in her handbag, it was time for supper and her parents were already 29 table.

No one can change the weather. Nobody can control the weather. But if we read correctly the signs around us, we can tell what the more important changes in the weather will be. This way of telling what the weather will be like on the following day or two is called weather forecasting. For many centuries and in all countries, people have studied the weather and tried to make weather forecasting. Rings around the sun are a sign of coming rain. Many people feel in their bones the coming of wet weather, their joints hurt. Some birds fly high if fine weather is coming, but they fly near the ground if rainy or stormy weather is on the way. It is probably because of the insects which they are hunting that they fly low. If you see a rainbow during rainy weather, this is a sign that the weather will become clear and fine. Such rainbows come in the evening. If the stars twinkle clearly at night, then fine weather will continue. If a fog appears in the morning just above a river, then the day will be warm. If the sunset is mostly red in colour, then the following day will be fine. If a rainbow appears in the morning, rainy weather will probably come. Most of the above sayings have been made by the people who have used their eyes and brains to make weather forecasting. 31. Peoples joints ache .

A man came home from work late again and found his 5yearold son waiting for him at the door. “Daddy, may I ask you a question?”
“Yeah, sure, what is it?” replied the man.
“Daddy, how much money do you make an hour?”
“Thats none of your business. What makes you ask such a thing?” the man said.
“I just want to know. Please tell me, how much do you make an hour?” pleaded the little boy.
“If you must know, I make 20. 00 an hour.”
Looking up, he said, “Daddy, may I borrow 10. 00 please?”
The father was furious. “If the only reason you wanted to know how much money I make is that you can borrow some to buy a silly toy or some other nonsense, then you march yourself straight to your room and go to bed. Think about why youre being so selfish. I work long, hard hours every day and dont have time for such childish games.”
The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door. The man sat down and started to get even madder about the little boys questioning. After an hour or so, the man calmed down, and started to think he may have been strict with his son. Maybe there was something his son really needed to buy with that 10. 00, for he really didnt ask for money very often. The man went to the door of the little boys room and opened the door.
“Son, heres that 10. 00 you asked for.”
The little boy sat straight up happily. “Oh, thank you daddy!” he yelled.
Then, reaching under his pillow, he pulled out some more crumpled up (褶皱的) bills. The man, seeing that the boy already had money, started to get angry again. The little boy slowly counted out his money, and then looked up at the man. “Why did you want more money if you already had some?” the father complained. “Because I didnt have enough. But now I do,” the little boy replied.
“Daddy, I have 20. 00 now. Can I buy an hour of your time?”
Share 20. 00 worth of time with someone you love … just a short reminder to all of us working so hard for our living.

A. had no money B. had 10. 00 C. lost 10. 00 D. wasted 10. 00

Be grateful (感激的) to life
Once President Roosevelts house was broken into and lots of things were stolen. Hearing this, some of his friends wrote to him and advised him not to take it to his heart so much. President Roosevelt wrote back immediately, saying, “Dear friend, thank you for your letter to comfort me. Im all right now. I think I should thank God. This is because of the following three reasons: firstly, the thief only stole things from me but did not hurt me at all; secondly, the thief has stolen some of my things instead of all my things; thirdly, most luckily for me, it was the man rather than me who became a thief …”
It was quite unlucky for anyone to be stolen from. However, President Roosevelt had such three reasons to be so grateful. This story tells us how we can learn to be grateful in our life.
Being grateful is an important philosophy (哲学) of life. It is impossible for anyone to be lucky and successful all the time so long as he lives in the world. We should learn how to face failure bravely and try to deal with it. We shouldnt complain about our life and become frustrated and disappointed ever since then. We should be grateful for our life and raise again ourselves after a fall. If you are grateful to life, it will bring you shining sunlight. If you always complain about everything, you may own nothing in the end.
I think we should be grateful to life whenever we are unsuccessful or unlucky. Only by doing this can we find our weakness and shortcomings when we have failures. We can also get relief and warmth when we are unlucky. This can help us find our courage to overcome the difficulties we may face, and receive great encouragement to move on. We should treat our frustration (挫折) in our life in the other way just as President Roosevelt did. We should be grateful all the time and keep having a healthy attitude to our life forever and keep having perfect characters and sprit. Being grateful is not a kind of comfort, not an escape from life and nor thinking of winning in spirit like Ah Q. Being grateful is a way to sing for our life which comes just from our love and hope. If each of us has an attitude of being grateful, well be able to get rid of difficulties. Being grateful can bring us a better and more beautiful life.
(61) : Be grateful to life
The story of President Roosevelt Although a lot of things were stolen, President Roosevelt still thanked God for three (62) :
? First, only things were stolen.
? Second, the thief stole some of his things (63) hurting him.
? Third, he is (64) enough not to become a thief.
What can we learn from the story? ? We should learn how to face failure bravely and try to (65) with it.
? We should be grateful to life (66) of complaining about our life and becoming frustrated and disappointed.
? We should be grateful to life whenever we are unsuccessful or unlucky.
? We can find weakness and shortcomings when we (67) .
? We can get relief and warmth when we are unlucky.
? We can find courage to overcome the difficulties we may face.
(68) ? We should treat frustration and misfortune (69) President Roosevelt and keep having a (70) attitude to life.
? We should neither escape from life nor think of winning in spirit.

One possible version:
I am glad that Zheng Shuang has made great progress. In the past, he often came to school late; he often quarrelled with his classmates; he made a lot of noise in class; he threw the rubbish about; sometimes he played computer games too much. His parents and the teachers all worried about him. They talked with him patiently.
Now, he changes a lot. He comes to school on time; he is friendly with his classmate. He listens to the teacher carefully in class; he often helps collect the rubbish with other students; he can finish his homework on time. All the teachers and his classmates like him very much.
I hope our class will organize more activities. Our classmates will take part in them actively. We will certainly be more helpful, more friendly, more skillful and have other good qualities.

Be grateful (感激的) to life
Once President Roosevelts house was broken into and lots of things were stolen. Hearing this, some of his friends wrote to him and advised him not to take it to his heart so much. President Roosevelt wrote back immediately, saying, “Dear friend, thank you for your letter to comfort me. Im all right now. I think I should thank God. This is because of the following three reasons: firstly, the thief only stole things from me but did not hurt me at all; secondly, the thief has stolen some of my things instead of all my things; thirdly, most luckily for me, it was the man rather than me who became a thief …”
It was quite unlucky for anyone to be stolen from. However, President Roosevelt had such three reasons to be so grateful. This story tells us how we can learn to be grateful in our life.
Being grateful is an important philosophy (哲学) of life. It is impossible for anyone to be lucky and successful all the time so long as he lives in the world. We should learn how to face failure bravely and try to deal with it. We shouldnt complain about our life and become frustrated and disappointed ever since then. We should be grateful for our life and raise again ourselves after a fall. If you are grateful to life, it will bring you shining sunlight. If you always complain about everything, you may own nothing in the end.
I think we should be grateful to life whenever we are unsuccessful or unlucky. Only by doing this can we find our weakness and shortcomings when we have failures. We can also get relief and warmth when we are unlucky. This can help us find our courage to overcome the difficulties we may face, and receive great encouragement to move on. We should treat our frustration (挫折) in our life in the other way just as President Roosevelt did. We should be grateful all the time and keep having a healthy attitude to our life forever and keep having perfect characters and sprit. Being grateful is not a kind of comfort, not an escape from life and nor thinking of winning in spirit like Ah Q. Being grateful is a way to sing for our life which comes just from our love and hope. If each of us has an attitude of being grateful, well be able to get rid of difficulties. Being grateful can bring us a better and more beautiful life.

One possible version:
I am glad that Zheng Shuang has made great progress. In the past, he often came to school late; he often quarrelled with his classmates; he made a lot of noise in class; he threw the rubbish about; sometimes he played computer games too much. His parents and the teachers all worried about him. They talked with him patiently.
Now, he changes a lot. He comes to school on time; he is friendly with his classmate. He listens to the teacher carefully in class; he often helps collect the rubbish with other students; he can finish his homework on time. All the teachers and his classmates like him very much.
I hope our class will organize more activities. Our classmates will take part in them actively. We will certainly be more helpful, more friendly, more skillful and have other good qualities.
