I think that sleeping is the most wonderful thing in the world. While 36 I do nothing, but close my eyes, leaving all my work behind. In fact, I __37 _get up early nearly every morning.

My classes begin at 8:00, but the teacher asks us to arrive before 7:15 so we have  38  time to prepare for the class. If you are 39   , you’ll lose one point. And when you reach 10 40  , parents’ visit to school will be a must. Though I think it’s  41  , I still don’t want to lose any points.

One morning, my alarm clock  42  . I woke up with a 43   and found that it was already 7:00. What was worse. I lost six points in a  44 , that is to say, I was late every day that week. My teacher said that he 45   me to be late. My friends joked that my 46    was coming soon. I finally  47    to do something. I bought a new 48   . It sings songs on time,   49  I shut it down.

It’s perfect for a lazy cat like me. The first time I  50  it I successfully got up at 6:00 the next morning. Proud of  51  , I took a deep breath and found that the early morning air is surprisingly  52_. I did some reading, finding that English is really beautiful. I hadn’t realized __53   that the morning is so wonderful.

“Life is 54   a box of chocolates. You never know what you’re going to get.” Just as Forrest Gump said, sometimes we should break our  55 . You may find that a new way can change things for the better.

　　From the very beginning, Martin felt that he was bound up with（與……緊緊地在一起）his lovely little patient. One day, following some tests , Betty gave the doctor a big hug（擁抱）.

　　A few months later the doctor removed not only the tumour（腫瘤）, but also the entire lower left side of Betty’s gum（牙齦）and jawbone. Because Betty was so young, Martin was hopeful that her jawbone might regenerate.

　　Within three months, Betty’s tumour grew as large as an orange, changing the natural appearance of the left side of her small, delicate （ = thin; not strong）face. Soon she couldn’t even close her mouth, and as her eating problems worsened, Betty ‘s weight dropped from 20 kilos to 15. Martin knew from experience that it might invade the brain.

　　The only other possibility was thorough radiation therapy （放射療法）. Night after night, Betty's father gave her injection, but the tumour remained as big as ever. Then one evening. Morgan noticed that the tumour had begun to change. It was actually becoming smaller! For two months her tumour appeared to be going away for ever.

At a meeting, a well-known speaker lifted up a bill of 20 dollars before starting his speech.

Facing 200 people, he asked, “Who wants this 20-dollar bill?” A great many hands were put up. Then he continued to say, “I intended to give it to any one of you, but allow me to do a thing before giving it to you.” Suddenly he crumpled （揉）it into a round mass. Then he asked, “Who wants it? ” Still some hands were lifted up.

He asked again, “Well, how could it be if I do it like this?” he threw the bill onto the ground, stepped on it and twisted it. As he picked it up, the bill had become not only dirty but wrinkled.

Smoking, which may be a pleasure for some people, is a series of discomfort for their fellows. Medical scientists have expressed their concern about effect of smoking on the health not only of those who smoke but also those who do not smoke. In fact, non-smokers who take in the air polluted by tobacco smoke suffer more than the smokers themselves. A great number of students are trying to persuade the university to forbid smoking in classrooms. Believe they are completely right in their aim. However, I think it more important to achieve this by calling on the smokers to use good judgment and to show concern for others. Smoking is not allowed in theaters, cinemas and in other public places. Therefore, smoking must be forbidden in our classroom.
