Before I could turn 10, I had lost my parents. To ____ myself and my education, I had taken to delivering（递送）newspapers.

I would be up every morning by 5 a.m., I would ____ 50 copies of newspaper which must have weighed over five kilos. After delivering them, I would rush home-another three kilometres away—cook my breakfast, eat ____ and be off to school.

One morning, I found a boy of my age at my doorstep. He introduced himself as Jimmy and said his ____ wanted to see me. I guessed they wished to subscribe to（订阅）the newspaper, so I followed him to his place nearby.

Jimmy’s mother opened the door, ____ me a large plate of snacks and fruit salad. It was a breakfast, one that brought back ____ of the happy time with my parents. As I was about to leave, Jimmy’s father, Mr. Kader, appeared with a new bicycle.

“This is for ____!” He said, putting my shoulder.

“____ I have no money!” I cried.

“Who is asking you to ____ this, my son?” He continued.

It took me a few seconds to sense the ____ moment. I didn’t even realize my tears were rolling down my face. Jimmy’s mother held me closely. It was like ____, as if my mother were there.

Mr. Kader said that my newspaper editor, Mr. Brown, was a friend of his, and the editor told him my ____.

I bowed, thankfully, and felt. This time, I didn’t have to ____!

For many years thereafter, it was the ____ that changed my life. I also learned a lesson; ____ should always be given according to people’s needs. Never try to feed a person who is dying of thirst.

Trying to keep a healthy diet? Be sure to read our list of the top four fake (虚假的) health foods first!

They’re made with tons of fruit, so they must be healthy, right? What most people don’t realize, however, is that these delicious and “healthy” drinks are full of sugar and have more calories (卡路里) than a large meal! Many smoothies have more than just fruit. Some have ice-cream or yogurt. You’re really better off making your own smoothies at home with your own fresh fruit and low-fat yogurt.

So you and your friends have stopped at a fast-food restaurant for a quick bite. Since you’re a healthy person, you decide to get a salad. After all, it’s better than anything else there, right? Don’t be so sure. Salad toppings such as bacon, cheese, and dressing can make your choice of a meal just as unhealthy as eating a double hamburger. Check the facts before you take a bite.

A cereal bar may appear to be a healthy snack. After all, the box has a photo of healthy people eating them on a hike. But don’t let the packaging (包装) fool you! Many cereal bars have as much sugar and far as any candy bar. Read the ingredient (成分) list and make sure it’s healthy before you buy.

Many people watching their weight prefer light sushi lunches and dinners, but be careful—there are some rolls that will influence your diet. Many have mayonnaise (蛋黄酱) and deep-fried shrimp, both high in fat. When with soy sauce, sushi rolls become very high in salt. This doesn’t mean you have to cut out this delicious Japanese food together, but you do have to be careful with your choices.

To the Editor(编辑)

I’m not kind of mother who normally brushes her daughter’s hair, and my daughter has never like sitting there, waiting for me to do it.

But today, I’ve sat my daughter Sally on a kitchen stool（凳子）. She’s sitting high with her eyes closed, skin still wet from the shower, and her longhair behind her back. I realize she is enjoying the moment. It’s the last time for a week that our bodies will connect. Today, I’m sending Sally away for a week of summer camp. This was all my idea. She’s nearly 12, and I noticed that I’m with my child nearly 24 hours a day.

Living on a farm without any neighbors, I’ve chosen a life that is quieter than a normal family’s. But rather than expecting space away from me, Sally has become increasingly dependent. What frightens me most is that she has become a “mini-me”, even has the same hobbies, dreams, and opinions as me. That’s why I pulled her the summer camp: a nearby wilderness（荒野）camp called Hawk Circle.

After eating, I drive Sally to Hawk Circle. Once there, we are introduced to her fellow campers, Sally stands by them, holding my hand, horror in her eyes, trying to work up the courage to join a game of soccer. “I need you for a few more minutes,” she tells me. I pull her away to walk to one of the camp’s workers.” Excuse me.” I say loudly, “I’d like to introduce you to my daughter. Maybe you could help her meet a few of these kids.” He comes over talk to Sally, and then I disappear before she realizes it.

It is a hard time for me to drive back. When I arrive home, I calm down and remind myself why I chose this way. I want Sally to have a chance to find herself. I want to learn who she is. If I don’t set her free, I fear I’ll never really meet her real personality.

   Hi, guys! Listen, if you want to succeed in doing business, I have some useful suggestions for you.

First, you should wear smart
42．(衣服)and behave well. Wear a nice suit and a
43．(领带), and you first meet the customer, you should be sure to arrive on time for a meeting, OK?

When you first meet the customer, you should give him your business card and you shouldn’t
44．(忘记)his name—that’s important. If he is Ben, don’t call him Ken: if he is Ken, don’t call him Ben. They don’t like that kind of thing.

45．(假定)you’re a smoker. Well, then, when you
46．(出席)a meeting, you shouldn’t smoke during it. And you should always be
47．(有礼貌的). Remember to say “Please”, “Thank you”, “Excuse me” and “Sorry”.

Now, it’s important that you make friends with the customers, but you shouldn’t tell them your
48．(整个的)life story. They don’t want to hear that.

And
49．(最后) don’t talk all the time. You shouldn’t always listen to the customer.

Is that clear? Try to follow all the above, guys! I’m sure luck will
50．(敲)at your door！

Nathaniel Hawthorne
51．(go) home with a broken heart. He told his wife Sophia that he lost his job.
52． his surprise, she spoke to him with great joy.

 “Now,” she said
53． (happy).“you can write your book! When you had your job, you didn’t have time to write down
54． you were thinking about. Now, you are free. You can do what you like and make your dream
55． (come) true!”

 “Yes,” said the man sadly, “but what shall we live on while I
56． (write) it?”

Then, she took out a small box and opened it. There was a large amount of money.

“I’ve always believed you are
57． talented man,” she told him. “I knew that someday you would write a great book. So every week, out of the money you gave me for everyday use, I saved a little bit. Now this money can help
58． (we) through the year.”

With her trust and confidence, one of the
59． (great) novels of American literature, The Scarlet Letter(《红字》) , was born.

Some of the famous
60． (story) have followed a word of encouragement or an act of confidence by a loved one or a best friend.
