I was tired and hungry after a long day of work.
When I walked into the living-room, my 12-year-old son looked ____at me and said, “I love you.” I didn't know what to say. ____ several seconds all I could do was to stand there and ____  down at him . My first thought was that he must need ____ with his homework or he was trying to __5 __ me for some news.
Finally I asked, “What was that all about?”
“Nothing,”he said. “My teacher said we should____  our parents that we love them and see what they say. It’s ____
The next day I called his teacher to find out more about this “experiment” and how the other parents had ____.
“Most of the fathers had the___ reacting as you did,”the teacher said. “When I first ___ we try this, I asked the children what they thought their parents would say. Some of them thought their parents would have heart trouble. The _    is,”the teacher explained, “feeling loved is an important part of ___It is something all people__. What I'm trying to tell the children is that it's too ___ we don't all express those feeling. A boy should be ____ to tell his dad he loves him.
The teacher, a middle - aged man, understands how ____ it is for some of us to say the things that would be good for us to say.
When my son came to me that evening, I held on to him for ____second. And just ____ he pulled away , I said in my deepest , most manly voice , “Hey , I love you , too . ”
I don't know if saying that made either of us healthier, but it did feel pretty good. Maybe next time one of my children said “I love you”, it would not take me a whole ____to think of the right ____.

What is it that you love to do but never feel that you get it quite right? Perhaps you don't even try any more because you think what you do is not      enough．
Discouragement seems to follow us a good part of the time,      however hard we work, it seems that there is      someone else who can do it much better．
I have always enjoyed music and it is      to me that every musician has a      of their own．My father _        several instruments and when he played with other people, it was not difficult to      his sound in a group．Whether it was guitar or another instrument, he had his own      sound．
I      heard of a music teacher who commented to a discouraged student, "      else can make the sound that you make．" The sound that you make may not be the same as someone else's, but who is to say which is    ．It is said that, "      is in the eye of the beholder .” . Perhaps it could be said that a delightful sound is in the ear of the     ．
Every person has a different tone of voice that      only to them,      we all know people with an unforgettable laugh or a way of      that is unique to them．It might not be the sound of your music or your voice at all．It      be the way you whistle or the sound of your footsteps．
Each person has a（an）      on the world in some way．Someone else can do what you do, but they cannot do it      in the same way that you do it．The next time you feel     , remember nobody else can make the sound that you make．

The Fish I didn't Catch
I still remember my first fishing experience as if it were but yesterday. I have been　　many times in my life (like when I got admitted to the best school), but never more intensely sothan when I received that first fishing  　　 from my uncle.
My uncle, who knew by long  　　where pickerel（梭魚）would gather, 　　placed me at the most favorable point. I threw out my line and waited anxiously for a bite, 　　the float up and down rapidly on the surface of the water. But nothing came of it. "Try again," said my uncle. Suddenly the float 　　out of sight. "Now for it," thought I; "here is a fish at last."
I made a strong pull, only to bring up a tangle of weeds. Again and again I cast out my line with aching arms, and drew it back empty. I looked at my uncle 　　．"Try once more," hesaid；"we fishermen must have　  
Suddenly something tugged at my line, and swept off with it into deep water. Pulling it up quickly, I saw a fine pickerel wriggling in the sun. "Uncle！”I cried, looking back in uncontrollable 　　 , "I've got a fish!”"Not yet," said my uncle. Just then, I saw the scared fish shooting into the middle of the stream, my hook hung 　　 from the line. I had lost my prize.
My heart sank with it and I felt like a failure. We tend to speak of the 　　 of childhood as matters of little importance 　　 those of grown-ups. Controlled by reason and self-respect, the sorrows of grown-ups 　　 the social customs and rules of conduct 　　the sorrows of childhood are a complete abandonment to the passion. The doll's nose is broken, and the whole world 　　 with it.
So, overcome with my bitter disappointment, I refused to be 　　，even by my uncle's guarantee that there were more fish in the river. He refitted my bait, and, putting the pole again in my hands, told me to try my luck once more.
"But remember, boy," he said, with a smile, "it's no use to boast of（自夸）anything before it's done, nor then, either, 　　it speaks for itself."
How often I have been reminded of the fish that I did not catch 　　！When I hear people talking about their distant aims as if they had already been achieved, I call to mind that 　　by the riverside, and the wise caution of my uncle takes the form of a proverb of 　　application: "NEVER BOAST OF YOUR FISH BEFORE YOU CATCH HIM."

  You may be surprised to see “making sure children never suffer” as a mistake. The following        may help you understand how rescuing children from all suffering      weakness.
A little boy felt sorry for a butterfly struggling to            from its chrysalis. He decided to         the butterfly. So he peeled the chrysalis open for the butterfly. The little boy was so            to watch the butterfly spread its wings and fly off into the sky. Then he was horrified       he watched the butterfly fall to the ground and die because it did not have the muscle      to keep flying. In fact, the butterfly’s struggle to      the chrysalis helps the butterfly become stronger.
Like the little boy,      too often want to protect their children from struggle in the    of love. They don’t realize that their children need to struggle, to experience     , to deal with disappointment, and to solve their own problems. Only in this way can children     their emotional strength, become      and develop the skills necessary for the even bigger struggles they will meet throughout their lives. Children experiencing sufferings can      the ups and downs of life.
However, it isn’t helpful either in this case when parents       lectures(訓(xùn)斥), blame and shame to what the child is experiencing. Mothers      to say, “Stop crying and acting like a spoiled boy. You can’t always get what you want.” These      words should be avoided.
Instead, parents can offer loving support. You can say, “Don’t lose     . Be brave! You will succeed if you try again.” Then comes the tough part—no      a no lectures. Simply allow him to discover that he can get over his disappointment and      what he can do to get  what he wants in the future.

Most interviewees are probably aware that interviewers are not supposed to ask them certain questions. There are some areas of special　 in selection interviewing. Our goal here is to point out these  　　 areas of questions and to suggest strategic ways to  　　  them as an interviewee.
Courts have  　　 that it's none of the company's business how many children an applicant has; or whether he or she is married, 　　 or divorced. In this area, if you are asked an illegal question, you can give a general 　　  ; saying elegantly: "I would prefer to stick to job-related questions:" Or you can be more 　　  : "Are children a requirement for this position?"
　  , many instances of illegal interview questions occur in' the course -of　　getting-to-know-you small talk during an interview and aren't 　　 by the interviewer as an invasion（侵犯）of your privacy. But innocent or not, illegal interview questions can 　　  a company in court when a job seeker 　　 discrimination in the interview process.
To 　　 age discrimination in hiring, courts have disallowed these sorts of questions: "How old are you?" "When did you graduate from high school?" and so on. Managers get in trouble here when they talk about the average age of their workforce in 　　 to -the candidate： "Our typical employee is probably 8 to 10 years older than you. Do you expect problems managing people older than yourself?" You can imagine the later court 　　  . Manager: "But, Your Honor, I never asked her age!”Candidate: "My age seemed to be one of his key 　　 about my ability to manage." And, of course, you can avoid all these disputes（爭執(zhí)）by simply answering your employer: "Age has 　　 been a consideration for me in my work life."
In another area of sex, an employer cannot ask questions about the person's gender（性別）　　the job specifications strictly require either a male or a female. The burden of proof is on the 　　to demonstrate（論證）that only a man or a woman can do the job. Employers should be cautious: Courts and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission have interpreted very 　　 the concept that only one gender can perform a particular job.

To be a real gentleman, you should know that true forgiveness is one of the most remarkable qualities a human can possess!
In the fighting between two countries in the 1970s, a young man was walking from one village to the next when he was     by an armed guerrilla fighter from the enemy country．The fighter  the young man down the hill where he was to be    .
But a（n）  thing happened． The young man, who had    military training, was able to disarm the fighter．Now, the table was    and it was the fighter who was ordered down the hill．
As they walked,      , the young man began to reflect on what was happening．Recalling the      of his mother, "Love your enemies; do good to those who       you." He found he could go no farther．
He 10  the gun into the bushes, told the fighter he was    to go and turned back       the hill．
Minutes later, he heard footsteps53 behind him as he walked．"Is this the end after all?" he      . Perhaps the fighter had got the gun and wanted to finish him off．But he continued on,       glancing back, until his enemy reached him, only to grab him in a hug and pour out        for sparing his life．
Mercy often wears the face of        ．And though it usually isn't an enemy in uniform-that we are challenged to forgive, we have   for mercy every day. Family members and friends, co-workers and neighbors and even strangers have       for our forgiveness. You know who they are.
As Mahatma Gandhi said, "The      can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong. " Be strong. Forgive.

I work in a company in India which has branches in Germany and the UK，so I        take business trips to these places．We have a tradition at the company that anybody coming back to India from a foreign country gets      for all the other members of the company．Naturally the chocolates are finished in no time because everyone      them and tries to get as many as possible．
I        that the housekeeping staff members never had the chance to get even a single chocolate maybe because they were not as quick as others to take the chocolates．I felt it was        to them．
Recently, I came back to India from Munich and I had        a lot of chocolates for them．I met one of the housekeeping staff members called Babu．I gave him a packet of chocolates and told him to distribute(分發(fā))them       in his department．His face lit up with joy and thanked me again and again，which made me very happy．
But the      didn’t end here．The best part of it was that Babu actually distributed the chocolates to        in the company equally instead of just distributing them among members in his        ．So it was so touching for me to see this.
I find it really hard to        why we，who have the money to buy chocolates and other goodies，do not feel like        but just think about how to get more．       ，Babu，who earns only just about enough to raise his family, was so generous and did not even        one extra chocolate for himself．I want to request all of us learn from Babu for being so      and caring!

Dear Students，
I am glad to be your guest speaker today. It’s a great pleasure to      your school and to meet all of you.
I would like to tell you about     . I have been a news reporter for the past fifteen years. I chose this job      I could travel the world, but the job has      me many unforgettable lessons. The work is sometimes difficult. I have seen famines (饑荒),     , earthquakes, poverty and death. But I have also seen courage, hope and     .
In India, I visited a city where there were many homeless children. Some were as      as four years old. They lived in the streets and survived by begging or    . But then a       lady called Rosa opened a home for them. Within one year, she was      two hundred children. She clothed them, fed them and taught them. She      them hope.
Here in China, I     a young boy with a serious disease. He had had twenty operations and spent nearly his whole life in hospital. I thought he would be     , but when I met him, his smile was so warm and welcoming.
In life, we need role models  that we can admire and learn from.     I feel upset, I try to remember the courage and goodness of these      people.

I ran into a stranger as he passed by. “I am so sorry!” was my reply. Then he said,“ Excuse me too… I wasn’t even watching for you.” We were very    , this stranger and I. Then we went on our     ways after saying goodbye.
But at home, a       story is told. Later, in the     , as I cooked our meal, my daughter crept up to me, very still. When I turned, I nearly     her down. “Get out of the way!” I        with a frown(皺眉). She left,       her little heart broken.
That  night, as I     awake in bed, God’s quiet     spoke to me and said, “While
      with a stranger, you are     and polite, but with those you love, you are quick and excited… Go look right now on the kitchen floor, you will find some       there by the door. Those are the flowers she brought for you. She picked them herself- pink, yellow, and blue. She stood there quietly, not to      your surprise, and you never saw the tears in her eyes.”
By this time, I felt sad and small and now my own tears had begun to fall. I quietly went and knelt by her bed,“Wake up, sweetheart, wake up,” I said,“Are these the flowers you picked for me? She smiled, “I found them, out by the tree. I wrapped them in a napkin, just for you. I knew you would like them.     the blue.” I said,” I am so sorry that I missed them today… And I shouldn’t have fussed at you that way.”
And she whispered, “Mommy, that is okay… I still love you     .” I hugged her and said, “ I love you too… And I love my flowers, especially the blue.”
Are you     that: If you die tomorrow, the     that you are working for could easily replace you in a matter of days. But the family you leave     will feel the loss for the rest of their lives. And come to think of it, we     ourselves more to our work than into our families- an unwise       indeed.
