There was a boy who was walking home from school when he saw a large, tempting (attracting) apple on one of the branches of an apple tree hanging out over a tall fence. The  boy wasn’t much of a fruit-eater, _36_ a bar of chocolate if given the choice, _37_, as they say, the forbidden fruit can be tempting. Seeing the apple, the boy wanted it. The more he looked at it, the _38_ he felt and the more he wanted that apple.
He stood on tiptoe, _39_as high as he could, but even at his tallest _40_he was unable to touch it. He began to _41_ up and down, as high as he could, at the _42_of each jump stretching his arms to get the apple. Still it remained out of _43_.
Not giving up, he thought, if only he had something to _44_on. His school bag wouldn’t give enough height and he didn’t want to _45_the things inside, like his lunch box, pencil box, pencil case, and Gameboy. Looking _46_, he hoped he might find an old box, a rock, or, _47_ luck, even a ladder, but it was a tidy neighborhood and there was nothing he could use.
He had tried everything he could think to do. _48_seeing any other choices, he gave up and started to walk_49_. At first, he felt angry and disappointed thinking about how hungry he had become from his _50_, and how he really wanted that apple. The more he _51_like this, the more unhappy he became.
_52_, the boy of our story was a pretty smart guy, even if he couldn’t get what he wanted. He started to say to himself, “This isn’t_53_.I don’t have the apple and I’m feeling sad as well. There is _54_ more I can do to get the apple— that is unchangeable —but we are supposed to be able to _55_our feelings. If that is the case, what can I do to feel better?

A few months earlier I had been painting two portraits for each of my parents．I'd planned to give them the portraits as Christmas gifts．This would be a   36   for everyone，as I had not studied  37  ．
While painting one day, I was surprised by a knock on the door. Quickly having put all my  38 materials out of sight, I opened the   39  . To my astonishment, my father came in .
Immediately I wanted to show him the paintings, but I was   40  to destroy his Christmas surprise. Yet something  41  me to share the gifts with him. After making him promise to keep it secret, I   42   he keep his eyes closed until I had the portraits set on easels(畫架). “Okay, Daddy. Now you can   43  !”
He appeared dazed at first. Finally , he said, “I don’t believe it. The eyes are so  44 that they follow you everywhere—and look how   45   your mother is. Will you let me have them  46 ?”
Excited with his response, I happily volunteered to   47  them to the frame shop the next day. Several weeks passed. Then one night the   48   rang—my father had a stroke(中風). He died the next day, and it seemed all   49    escaped from the life of my mother and me .
I finally remembered to  50   about the framed portraits. I was surprised when the shopkeeper told me my father had visited the shop,   51 for the framing and had them gift-wrapped.
 52 we had lost our loved people, everyone gathered on Christmas Day making an effort to be   53  . As I looked into my mother’s sad eyes and unsmiling face, I decided to give her Daddy’s and my   54  . After she saw it, with a wide smile, she quickly said, “I knew Daddy would be with us on Christmas Day!”
I glanced at the gift card written in my father’s   55 . “ Mother—Our daughter reminded me why I am so blessed. I’ll be always looking at you.—Daddy.”

The hotel was in a 31 street and seemed to agree with one who 32 a good sleep after a tiring trip. The woman manager 33 me to my room. When I asked her about dinner, she said it was 34 at six and I had 35 it." 36 , I'm not very hungry." I said in a friendly voice. " I'll just have a 37 and then go to a restaurant."   "What!" she said, raising her eyebrows (眉毛). "This is a respectable (體面的) hotel, young man. If you want, 38 go somewhere else. " She spoke as if a glass of beer were a 39 liquid. I felt my 40 back through the dark streets after dining outside. I knocked loudly on the door but nobody 41 . It was a long time 42 the lady opened the door. "What's going on?" she said 43 ." Guests are to be back by ten. The rule is for everyone."   I went to my room and tried to sleep. The bed was 44 and the sheets and blankets were damp. 45 of all, the whole hotel trembled when the church clock 46 every quarter of an hour. Just before dawn, I finally went to sleep.   "Did you sleep well last night, young man?" asked the old lady the next morning. " 47 speaking, I don't think I could 48 another night here." I replied. "I 49 slept at all." "That's because you were 50 all night drinking!" She said disapprovingly.

Here is a picture where we can see grass growing in stones strongly． This picture    36  me of my father, a most determined man． He was born in a very    37 black family in the country, and both of my grandparents were   38  ．My father began to work in the cotton(棉花) fields when he was seven years old． He had a strong desire to change his own fate（命運） ever since he was a little boy． He   39 himself how to read and write in the evening． Later with his parents'    40    he managed to go to school where he studied computer science at Yale University． He later became a professor of Stanford University and was an expert in programming． He could   41  programs (程序) for supermarkets, restaurants, hotels, parks and bookstores all by himself． I'm    42  of my father   43   of his determination.
The best way to know a strong man, I think, is to let him   44   a severe test． Whenever we want to test a man's character, we should find out whether he can   45   __ adversity （逆境）, because adversity can always prove the   46  character of a man．Only when we make up our own mind can we overcome any    47  ． Some people would give up halfway． Such men can hardly expect to succeed． If we do not give up hope, nothing is impossible．

A woman came out of her house and saw three old men sitting in her front yard. She said, "I don't think I know you, but you must be 36. Please come in and have something to eat."
"Is the man of the house home?” they asked. "No", she replied, "He's out." "Then we cannot come in", they replied.
In the evening when her 37 came home, she told him what had happened. "Go tell them I am home and invite them in!" The woman went out and invited the men in. "We do not go into a 38 together," they replied. "Why is that?" she asked.
One of the old men gave an 39 that their names were Wealth, 40 and Love. Then he added, "Now go in and 41 with your husband which one of us you want in your home."
The woman went in and told her husband what was said. Her husband was 42and he suggested inviting Wealth to fill their home with money，talking and laughing.“With riches，we buy new houses，expensive furniture，and colourful clothing. We will look much better in the eyes of both ourselves and our neighbours ”he said. And his wife wanted to invite Health; but their daughter-in-law 43 they should invite Love so that their home would be full of warmth. “With that，we will feel much better in our family and our neighbourhood as well. That’s of more importance.”she argued. 44 the husband said to his wife. "Go out and invite Love to be our guest."
The woman 45 and asked the three old men, "Which one of you is Love? Please come in and be our guest."
Love 46 and started walking toward the house.
The other two also got up and followed him. Surprised, the lady asked Wealth and Health: "I only invited Love, Why are you coming in?"
The old men replied 47: "If you had invited Wealth or Health, the other two of us would have stayed out, but since you invited Love, wherever He goes, we go with him. Wherever there is Love, there is also Wealth and Health!"

“Honey,” I said in a low voice. I always call her “honey” in times like these. “I 50  my keys in the car, and it has been stolen.”
There was a period of 51 . I thought the call had been dropped, but then I heard Diane’s  52 .
“Ken,” she shouted, “I dropped you off!”
Now it was my time to be silent. 53 , I said, “In that case, would you please come and  54  
your dear husband?”
Diane answered, “I will... just as soon as I can have this policeman  55  I didn’t steal your car.”

The first 10,000 m race was quite an experience. I jogged, I walked, I jogged and I walked. At times, I didn’t   40  if I could finish.
At one point near the end, a 70-year-old man ran past me very   41  , and I felt embarrassed that I was 50 years younger than him and I couldn’t even keep up with him. I felt      42  for a second.
But then I   43   something. He was running his race and I was running mine. He had   44  capacities, experience, training and goals for himself. I had mine. Remember my   45   was only to finish.
After a minute, it   46 me that this was a lesson I could draw from . I learned  47 about myself in that moment. I turned my   48  into inspiration.
I decided that I would not   49 running races. In fact, I would run even more races and I would learn how to train and  50 properly and one day I would be one of those 70-year-olds who were still running. As I   51 the finishing line, I was proud  52 my accomplishment.
