The sweetest memory of my childhood is about a round table. When I was still little, my whole family would get together on _________ every traditional festival to have dinner. While the grown﹣ups were _________ something that we were not interested in, we kids would be talking with each other or playing hide﹣and﹣seek under the table.

When I got a little older, my aunt got married and she brought back her _________. Then my grandma would cheerfully add another seat to the round table for him. It was a little more crowded （拥挤的）, but we all felt _________ to this new family member.

When I was fifteen, my grandma passed away because of cancer. Since then, there has often been a touch of sadness in our _________ whenever we mention her. But when the big family got together once again, we all _________ that her chair, her bowl and her chopsticks should keep the same, even though her seat was empty. We felt like that she had never left us.

We all have a table like this in our homes. It is a symbol of getting together with our family members. In fact, in China, it seems that _________ can’t be solved over a round table.

The food on the table may change with time, the people sitting beside it may come and go, the reasons why we come together seem to be different, but the true meaning _________ it keeps the same year after year. And that is the tolerance（包容） of different people, different cultures and different art forms.

【推荐1】Choose the best words and complete the passage (选择最恰当的单词完成短文)

Hello, everyone, welcome to our Chitchat. In last week’s Chitchat, we asked our readers if they could re-select their major—the main subject of study in college, which one they would pick. Here are some of their ideas.

If I got do-over (重来), I will make a change.

@Jim Zhang

If I got do-over, I would choose ________. I’m really fond of teaching kids, I had no idea about what I wanted to do or what I really liked even after graduation. Three years later, I realized that it was a great loss of time to think too much about what I should do, because what I really need is doing it with all heart and keeping on. Unfortunately, I was too young to realize that at that time.

If I got do-over, I will ________.

@Agatha

If I can get do-over, I would choose my original major. For me, majoring in mathematics was ________. Proving mathematical theories (理论) in words was crazy. However, it is mathematics that makes me have strong logical thinking. The biggest pity about my major is that I didn’t try as hard as I should. In a word, I don’t regret choosing mathematics as my major but I regret not learning it better and further.

Do-over is not in my list

@tina

________, I don’t regret my choice. As an English teacher, sometimes it’s hard to improve students’ English level. But when I see great progress that students have made, I feel really satisfied. Anyway, every field needs ________. For students, being good at English is not the only way to succeed. I’m really pleased with their progress, even not in English learning. Then why should I choose my major again?

@SEEF

I majored in geography science which needs outgoing study and research in the original environment where hasn’t been explored at all. Excitement, danger, coldness, hotness as well as uncertainty, always surround us. However, it’s also unforgettable (难忘的) and we met the things others would ________ do.

He then asks, “Is it full?”   This time some students give no answer, but most reply, “Yes!” The teacher then starts to drop some sand into the bottle. The sand ______ the spaces between the small rocks. For the ______ time, the teacher asks, “Is it full?” Now most are doubting, but still, some reply, “Yes!”

Then the teacher brings out a cup of water into the bottle. “What’s the ______ of this show?” asks the teacher. One ______ student answers, “No matter how ______ you are, you can always find time to do some more things.”

“No,” says the teacher, “the point is that ______ you don’t place the big rocks first, you’ll never get them in.
