My mother told me an experience that happened to me when I was about two years old.

It was a summer day, and everybody had gone outside to enjoy the weather. My sister and her ________ jumped into our backyard pool to play. I did not know how to ________ yet. My mother would always watch us very closely. Just at that moment, the telephone rang. She had to ________ it. She told my sister to watch out for me for a minute, but my sister was ________ playing with her friend.

Before anyone knew it, I fell into the pool. No one heard me because I was so little.

What ________ next was amazing. My mother suddenly felt as if someone tapped (轻拍) her on the back before reaching the house. She ________ around, but no one was there. Just then she couldn’t see me. She ran over to the pool immediately. She saw me in the pool kicking and waving my ________ in the air. She jumped in and pulled me out. ________, I was okay.

All of this happened within less than a minute. No one really knew ________ my mother turned around. Now I am a mother of three children. I know it’s because of a mother’s ________ for her children.

Many of us like reading books. In the past, we could only read traditional (传统的) paper books. Now, we can also read e-books. They still have covers and pages, but they’re not made of paper. They are pictures on a screen. So we can’t really touch (触摸) them or turn them with our fingers.

Some people really love e-books. They can read them on their phones or other electronic devices (电子设备). Because of that, they can carry a library of books with them all the time. In that way e-books are great. However, in another way, they’re not so great because they change (改变) our way we read.

With traditional books, we can focus on what we are reading. Sometimes we feel like we’re in the stories and forget about the real world. But that’s not true with e-books. With them, our attention (注意力) can be on other things.

With e-books, we can look up new words right away. That takes us out of the stories to an online dictionary. When reading, we can easily change to other things. For example, we can check our e-mails, use the Internet, shop online and more. What’s more, our eyes stop reading everything on the page. We just look for key (关键) words to get the information. Some people don’t mind (介意) that, but for others, it takes the fun of reading.

I believed that you must have heard about Chinese paper-cutting, haven’t you? Paper-cutting is     56     important art form in China. Paper-cuts were used for many purposes, and everything can become the theme of paper-cuts, from people to the things that can be     57     in everyday life such as birds, flowers and animals.

Paper-cuts     58     the personal ideas of the writer. People show traditional culture or     59     own feelings with different styles of paper-cuts. For example,     60     someone marries, we can     61     some red paper-cuts on the wall, dressing table or other furniture to express our best wishes.

It is easy to learn paper-cutting     62     very difficult to make it perfect. We need a long-time practice to learn how     63     the scissors and how to paint. Moreover, we     64     need to learn some cutting skills.

From history until now, in many parts of China, paper-cutting skill     65     become necessary for women and a symbol of a clever mind.
