Mr. Zhou is a Chinese teacher of Grade 8 in a school. One day while he _________ into the classroom, he heard a low _________. “Here is the teacher. I don’t like him because he is a _________ fellow（家伙）. I’m sure the boring fellow is going to _________ putting in commas（逗号）today.” It was Bill’s voice. He was talking with a boy next to him.

The teacher didn’t get angry. He said _________ about it, but began to talk about putting in commas. And then he _________ down the sentence on the blackboard. “Bill says his _________ is a boring fellow.”

The class laughed and Bill’s face _________ red.

“Now,” said the teacher, “I’ll _________ you how important commas are.”

He put __________ commas into the sentence and then read. “Bill, says his teacher, is a boring fellow.”

When I was about 12 years old, I really wanted a new bike! I told my parents my birthday wish, but I knew there was little hope because my family could ________ have that money.

________ my birthday my parents told me they had my gift outside in the backyard. At once I ________ to the backyard. There was my bike,________ it wasn’t the bike that I thought it would be. This one was pink and old. It was so disappointing! (令人失望的). I thought I hurt my ________ feelings because I could see the disappointment (失望) on their faces and I was sure they could see it on ________. I ________ the old bike and rode it, feeling excited that I had made my parents feel this way. So I put on a smile, rode as fast as I could and didn’t come down.

As time ________ by, I understood my parents gave me something much more than just an old bike. They gave me a life lesson about ________. When you give something out of love, it doesn’t matter what it is in fact. What matters is love that in it. I like to remember this experience (经历) because giving a gift is not about money. It’s about how much love you can feel from it. Do remember, a gift that costs two dollars isn’t ________ valuable (有价值的) than the one that is worth (值) one hundred dollars.
