There are many different ways of seeing a town for the first time. One of them is to walk around it, guide-book __1__ hand. Of course, we may __2__ with our guide-books the history and__3__developments of a town and get to know them. __4__ then, if we take out time and__5__in a town for a while, we may get to know it better. When we __6__ it as a whole, we begin to have some__7__, which even the best guide-books do not answer. Why is the town just__8__this, this shape, this plan, this size? Why do its streets__9__ in this particular way, and not in any __10__ way?

     Here even the best guide-book__11__us. One can’t find in it the information about how a town has developed to the__12__appearance. It may not describe the original __13__ of a town. However, one may get some idea of what it__14__look like by walking around the town. One can also imagine_15__the town was first planned and built. Then one can learn more about in what direction the town__16__to develop.

     What is the__17__of studying towns in the way? For me, it is__18__that one gets a greater depth of pleasure by visiting and seeing a town with one’s own eyes. A__19__visit to a town may help one better understand why it is attractive__20__ just reading about it in a guide-book.

My ears are recently full of joyous remarks from my friends such as, “oh, Beckham is so handsome, so cool, that I can’t help falling in love with him!” or “what perfect skills he has!” Yeah, I agree   1   some degree, though I sometimes do want to ask them how much they     2   Beckham, apart from his appearance and how much they know about football     3   scoring goals. It seems funny that we are crazy for things, with which we are unfamiliar or   4    we are uncertain, but we all, my friends   5  I, consider this  6  .

We need these pleasures to brighten up our lives. But that doesn’t amount to craziness  7  nonsense. As an old saying_8_: “Don’t judge a book by its cover.” We should not __9__anything from its appearance. We should all know, it is one’s good character and great contribution that _10__one a star and unforgettable. Therefore we’d better say __11_about Beckham’s good looks

If we close our eyes, ___12__in deep thought, we can find that the things__13__us to be in true happy, sad or moved ___14__a clear meaning. If we don’t go deeper and just satisfied with superficial(表面) things , __15__we will find that we have not really gained anything __16__ our first impression had blinded and misled us, and we’ll remain ignorant___17___ we realize that and make some changes.

It is believed that thinking and going deeper than before is sign of great___18___. If one day we are willing to go deeper into everything, no matter how much it _19___us, we will finally prove how much we have grown up, how much more sensible, mature, and intelligent we have __20__.

What would you do if you were unemployed, homeless and you found a large sum of money? Pauline Nichter, 46, and her husband, Tom, 44, had both 1　 their jobs and were living in and out of motels(汽車旅館) with their 11-year-old son, Jason. They were in danger of losing their car for 　2　 to make payments on it.

One day last summer, Pauline found a wallet 　3　 a credit card, an airline ticket to New Zealand and $2,394 in 　 4 　 at a shopping center in the Los Angeles suburb of Buena Park. “For a second I 　5　 about taking the money,” she said later. “　 6 only for a second. It wasn’t our money and we don’t want to set a bad 　 7 to our son.” She delivered the wallet and the contents to the nearest 　　8　 , where the owner reclaimed them. Police admitted that they were　 9 when the Nichters walked into the police station with the　 10　 and the money.

Word of the 　11　 quickly got around, and a grateful community 　12 in kind. The Nichters received more than ten job offers and a(n) 　13 rent-free for six months. An unknown donor（捐助人） brought the car 　14 up to date. Others gave cash. One elderly couple walked into the police station 　15　 Pauline had turned in the wallet and asked how much had been in 　16　 . When they were 　 17　 the amount, the man said, “Then that’s what they 　18　 ,” and wrote out a check for $2,400.

At a news conference Pauline said in 19　 , “Never in a million years would I have thought this would happen to us. What we have 　20 is far more than what was in the wallet.”

What I Want for You and Every Child in America

Dear Malia and Sasha,

　　　 I know that you've both had a lot of ___1 these last two years on the campaign trail, going to picnics and parades and state fairs, eating all sorts of junk food your mother and I probably shouldn't have let you have．But I also know that it hasn't always been easy for you and Mom, and that as excited as you both are about that new puppy, it doesn't ___2 for all the time we've been apart．I know ___3 I've missed these past two years, and today I want to tell you a little more　 about why I decided to take our family on this journey．

　　　 When I was a young man, I thought life was all about me---about how I'd___4 my way in the world, become successful, and get the things I want．But then the two of you came into my__5 with all your curiosity and mischief （搗亂） and those smiles that never___6 to fill my heart and light up my day．

　　　 I want all our children to go to schools___7 of their potential-schools that challenge them, inspire them, and instill（灌輸）in them a sense of___8 about the world around them．I want them to have the chance to go to college__9 their parents aren't rich．And I want them to get good jobs: jobs that pay well and give them benefits like health care, jobs that let them spend time with their own__10 and retire with dignity．

　　　 I want us to___11　 the boundaries of discovery so that you'll live to see new technologies and inventions that improve our lives and make our planet cleaner and safer．And I want us to push our own human boundaries to reach ___12 the divides of race and region, gender and religion that___13 us from seeing the best in each other．

　　　 That was the___14 your grandmother tried to teach me when I was your age, reading me the opening lines of the Declaration of Independence and telling me about the men and women who marched for__15　 because they believed those words put to paper two centuries ago should mean____16 ．

　　　 She helped me understand that America is great not because it is perfect but because it can always be made better and that the__17 work of perfecting our union falls to each of us．It's a charge we pass on to our children, coming closer with each new generation to___18　 we know America should be．

　　　 These are the things I want for you, to 19　 in a world with no limits on your dreams and no achievements beyond your reach．And I want every child to have the same chances to learn and dream and grow and thrive that you girls have．That's why I've taken our family on this great adventure．

　　　 I am so proud of both of you．I love you 20　 you can ever know．And I am grateful every day for your patience, poise （自信）, grace, and humor as we prepare to start our new life together in the White House．

　　　 Love, Dad

What kind of person becomes an addict? Someone 1 , with a lot of friends; or someone who is 2 from the rest, with only a few friends, or none at all? The 3 I am trying to make is that anyone can become an addict.

The only way that I 4 this out was by becoming an addict myself. I used to be a guy who was 5 in the popular crowd. Right before high school began, I started being 6 by most of my friends. I had never lived with the 7 that I had no friends, so I did almost anything to 8 the two good friends I still had. One of the things I did was 9 drugs for the first time. This was a big 10 from the way I lived when I was younger. I was a(n) 11 , and the last thing I thought I would get into was drugs. Drugs 12 me from being the best sports player I could be.

I 13 to smoke drugs after I entered high school because that was what my new "cool" friends were 14 . The next three years were filled with many 15 , I was arrested twice, and lost my license for two years. This made me sad and 16 .

I realized I could not live this way; I must stop the 17 of using drugs.

Since then, my 18 and actions have changed and so has my direction in life. I do see a future in water skiing. 　19, I haven't killed my chance in 20 . I know that I must keep a clear head first. Keep Coming Back. It works if you work it.

I stopped to watch my little girl busy playing in her room. In one hand was a plastic 　 1 ; in the other a toy broom. I listened as she was speaking to her make-believe little friend and I’ll never forget the words she said, even　 2 it was a pretense.

She said, “Suzie’s in the corner because she’s not been very　 3　 . She didn’t listen to a 　 4 I said or do the things she should.” In the corner I saw her baby doll all dressed in lace and pink. It was 5　 she’d been put there to sit alone and　 6 .

My daughter 7 her “conversation”, as I sat down on the floor. She said, “I’m all fed up. I just don’t know what to do with her any more. She cries whenever I have to work and wants to play games, too. She never　 8 me do the things that I just have to do.

She tries to help me with the dishes, but her arms just cannot 9 . And she doesn’t know　10 to fold towels. I don’t have the　 11 to teach. I have a lot of work to do and a big house to keep clean. I don’t have the time to sit and play— 12 what I mean?”

And that day I thought a lot about making some 13 in my life, as I listened to her 14 words that cut me like a knife. I hadn’t been paying enough attention to what I hold most 15　 . I’d been caught up in responsibilities that increased throughout the year.

But now my 16　 has changed, because, in my heart, I realize that I’ve seen the world in a different 17　 through my little darling’s eyes. So, let the cobwebs（蜘蛛網(wǎng)） 18　 the corners and the dust bunny rabbit rule the floor. I’m not going to worry about keeping up with them 19 .

I’m going to fill the house with　 20 of a child and her mother, for we are granted only one childhood, and we will never get another.

When my next-door neighbour moved in, he had a she cat named Juliet. She was an indoor lady, always watching 　5 through the window.

Then one day when I 　6 my cat to the backyard for his playtime, Sebastian 　7 Juliet gazing at him behind the window. It soon became 　8 that they were attracted by each other.

Even now, when my husband and I walk through the backyard and see that window, he 　20 me of the lesson Sebastian taught him... that cats do indeed fall in love.
