A boy was walking home from school when he saw a large, tempting (誘人的)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,
41 a bar of chocolate if given the choice, 42 , as they say, the forbidden fruit can be tempting. Seeing the apple, the boy wanted it. The more he looked at it, the
43 he felt and the more he wanted that apple.
44 as high as he could , but even at his tallest
45 he was unable to touch it. He began to
46 up and down , as high as he could, at the
47 of each jump stretching his arms to get the apple . Still it remained out of
48 .
Not giving up , he thought , if only he had something to
49 on . His school bag wouldn’t give enough height and he didn’t want to
50 the things inside , like his lunch box , pencil case , and Game boy . Looking
51 , he hoped he might find an old box , a rock , or ,
52 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 .
53 seeing any other choices , he gave up and started to walk
54 . At first he felt angry and disappointed thinking about how hungry he had become from his
55 , and how he really wanted that apple . The more he
56 like this , the more unhappy he became.
57 ,the boy of our story was a pretty smart guy, even if he couldn’t always get what get he wanted .He started to say to himself .,This isn’t
58 , I don’t have the apple and I’m feeling miserable as well. There’s
59 more I can do to get the apple_that is unchangeable-but we are supposed to be able to
60 our feelings. If that’s the case, what can I do to feel better?
