Much meaning can be carried clearly with our eyes, _________ it is often said that eyes can speak. Do you have such kind of _________? In a bus you may look at a stranger, but not too long.

If you are looked at for more than necessary, you will look at yourself up and down, to see if there is _________ wrong with you. If nothing goes wrong, you will feel angry toward the parson who is looking at you that way. Eyes do speak, right?

Looking too long at someone may seem to be _________. But sometimes things are different. If a man looks at a woman for more than 10 seconds, it may mean that he wishes to attract her attention.

The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is one of the great works by Mark Twain. The book is so interesting. Even today, it is quite popular among kids. Although I am in my thirties, the book remains one of my favorites. After re-reading the book recently, I have learned an important lesson from Tom Sawyer.

In our daily lives, we are often given some boring or tiring tasks. What’s in your mind when your mom tells you to clean the floor? Have you ever wanted to complain（抱怨）? I think most people have.

Tom Sawyer, however, thought “differently” when he was given a boring task. One Saturday morning, Aunt Polly told Tom to paint the fence（篱笆）. Tom’s friend Ben Rogers happened to walk past. Instead of complaining, Tom told Ben that he felt “excited” about the task. “Only one in a thousand—maybe even two thousand boys can do this!” Tom said.

Tom’s words made Ben interested in the task. He even gave Tom his apple so that he could have a chance to paint the fence. If Tom had thought about nothing but complaining, he would have had a bad day painting the fence.

This story teaches me a valuable lesson: Complaining is useless. The next time you are given a boring or tiring task, don’t complain. Unlike what happens in the story of Tom Sawyer, it is unlikely that someone will come and do the work for you. However, without complaining, you’ll feel better and perhaps even do a better job!

Getting your children to study can be a little like getting them to eat their vegetables.

One of the best ways to form good study habits for your kids is to design a schedule(时间表) that they keep to. Make a study time and have it at the same time every day. This will help your kids to learn to schedule their day.     66    

Allow them to study in blocks of time, such as for half an hour with a five-minute break in the middle.     67     Ideal study times are after dinner or right after school before dinner.

Never allow your children to study in front of the television, as that will encourage passive activity.     68     You’ll also need to help your kids find the right place to study. After you’ve set up a good study time for little learners, set up a good place where they can get those creative juices flowing.

Pick a place where your children can study properly.     69     So this place may help them concentrate on their study.

    70     This includes helping them out with their homework sometimes and being there for them with the answers to any questions. The input you give your children during study periods will help form a bond and help make studying enjoyable.

Two brothers decided to dig a deep hole behind their house. As they were working, a couple of older boys     81     (stop) by to watch.

“What are you doing?” asked one of the     82     (visitor) curiously. “We plan     83     (dig) a hole all the way through the earth!” one of the brothers said     84     (excited). The older boys began to laugh, telling the     85     (young) ones that it was impossible. After a long     86     (silent), one of the diggers picked up     87     box full of spiders and insects. He showed the wonderful things     88     the older boys. Then he said confidently, “Even if we don’t dig all the way through the earth, look at what we found along the way!”     89     (they) dream was far too big, but it did cause them to dig. And that is what a dream is for—to cause us to move in the direction we have chosen.

Not every dream will be realized. But when you couldn’t get what you wanted, perhaps you can say, “Yes, but look at the wonderful things     90     have come into my life because I tried to do something!”

91. 部分青少年缺乏感恩意识，认为现在所拥有的一切——父母的养育，老师、朋友的关爱与帮助是应该的。学校就此开展感恩征文活动，号召大家学会感恩：1. 感谢社会提供良好的教育机会；2. 感谢父母的养育之思；3. 感谢老师的教育和知识传授；4. 感谢朋友的支持与鼓励。请你根据以上信息以“Learn to Express Thanks”为题，用英语写一篇文章。

It’s a great honour to give a speech here. Today my speech topic is “Learn to Express Thanks”.
