In my early childhood, I was often surprised when I saw my father making     1     small number of money with difficulty. He was very tired during the day,     2     he still chose to have a part-time job at night. As a child, I was     3     (ability) to understand him.

I can’t forget he played with me when I was 3-4 years old. He taught me how to read. He took care of me all night when I was sick. Whenever I felt down he would cheer me up. He also cared about my lessons. When I was older, my father thought that I should     4     (send) to Beijing for the best education. Whenever I needed money, he never refused.

Two years ago, I got a job at a hospital in Beijing. When I helped my first patient, I got a strong feeling of satisfaction. When I got my first salary (薪水), I spent it all on myself.

I remembered it was an     5     (forget) morning. When I returned home, I heard my father     6     (communicate) with one neighbor. He was    7     (proud) telling him my success in the job. His dream of giving his son a good life came true finally. I was moved by     8     my father said. At that time, I thought I was selfish, I had never thought of doing something for my father.

Fathers are not very good at expressing their     9     (feel). If you carefully go through your childhood memory, you will notice your fathers are always there when you need them.

If today I can complete each task much     10     (succeed), this is because of my father. So I want to say thank you to my father, then what about you? Do you want to say thank you to your father? Please do it immediately tonight.

4 . Manners are necessary. If you want to get something from a shelf in a supermarket, and a person is _________ the way, say “Excuse me, please.” Or ask the person “Could you please _________ me the cereals（谷物）?” and then _________ him or her. If you do like that, he or she will like to help you.

It is very important to give others _________ feedback(反馈) when they did the right things. Here is an example:

Recently I was at a public celebration event, and two boys (they did not _________ to be brothers) were in front of me in line for some_________. It was a _________ day, and the line was long, but they stood there _________. The younger boy was asking the other about the price politely. At the reply of “$ 4,” he looked _________, and said in a low voice, “I only have $6, and I can’t buy one for each of my grandparents.” The older boy said__________, but after the younger boy bought one, the older boy paid $16 for three. He talked with the boss about __________the younger boy’s money. At last the boss agreed and asked the younger boy to get his money.

And then I heard the younger boy say “Thank you very much, my __________will feel cool in such a hot day!” to the older boy __________. The older boy smiled, and said, “You are a __________boy, you are filial(孝顺) to the elders, it’s my honor to help you.”

Several days later, I saw the older boy again and I told him, “That was a very nice thing you did for the little boy.” He was a bit shy. I know he was happy inside to be noticed for doing it of __________.

6 . Different countries have different cultures, today let’s learn something about them.

In the US and Germany

In the US, a set of kitchen knives seems like the perfect gift for a wedding or holiday. However, in certain European countries like Germany, some people think that a knife presented as a gift will make your friends angry. But there is a way to deal with it. Tie a penny to the knife or the gift box. The receiver then returns the penny to you as a “payment”.

In Zimbabwe(津巴布韦)

In Zimbabwe, it is not uncommon to be directly asked for a gift. And if you receive a gift suddenly, the worst thing you can do is to refuse it, even if the family is poor. What you should do is to show your thanks. Gestures(手势) are better than words. A dance can speak a thousand words.

In India

In India, gifts are given with the right hand. As left hands are considered unclean in Indian culture, gestures such as touching, passing money, or giving gifts are to be done with the right hand. Contrary to some other cultures, an odd(奇数) number of objects or money stands for good luck.

In China

Chinese New Year has a rich set of traditions. One of the most popular customs of this holiday is giving out money in red envelopes(红包). The gifts are meant to bring good luck.

In Israel (以色列)

Although giving gifts is a kind gesture, thank-you cards and notes are not a common part of the giftimple, if you want to give others some money as a gift, please place your money in an envelope to ensure it’s received in a respectful manner, or they will be angry.

7 . I played the piano in disappointment, trying to fight the tears in my eyes. After practicing for more than two hours, I still couldn’t get the rhythm(韵律) quite right on a Mozart piece which I wanted to show to my piano teacher the following day. To me, the piece had at first seemed fairly easy, and had a pretty simple melody. But no matter how hard I tried, I just couldn’t seem to play it well.

I decided to have a rest to think about if there was a good way to deal with it. In fact, I could usually learn some songs quickly and played them well---however, I didn’t want to play that kind of pieces, which might have appeared simple but was difficult. It always made me doubt myself as a pianist, although I was still confident.

After dinner, I decided to come back to the piano. Placing my fingers tentatively on the keys, I chose to play the piece slowly and carefully, focusing on hitting the correct notes instead of trying to play the piece quickly. Using this new method of practicing, I exercised a great deal of patience. Instead of focusing on how hard the rhythm was, I focused on how I could slowly see myself getting better.

I didn’t even get the rhythm right until a week later. My teacher was satisfied with me. But I learned an important lesson ---sometimes, baby steps are the best way to reach a goal. Sometimes I couldn’t improve myself until I slowed down, believed in myself, and took it one step at a time. Then what about you? If you are like me, please change yourself and you will succeed in the future.

A．Because his teacher was strict with him.

That’s when I thought that if I had    4    (free), I wouldn’t have to listen to others,” says Florence.

9 . 阅读下面短文, 根据内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。

I guess everyone would like to set off for a journey with someone we can understand and have fun with. Travelling with a companion(同伴) is great!

It’s good to have someone with you who can watch your backpack when you want to use the toilet, find the way back home when you get lost, carry some of your luggage when you’re tired, take some photos of you when you want and help you in all kinds of situations. The feeling of having someone by your side makes you feel less stressful about many things.

With a companion you can together share the beautiful moments during the travels, experience the same things in a different way and support each other. It’s much more interesting and exciting when you have the chance to share something with someone while on your road. Meanwhile, there is always someone whom you can shout at when you are angry, or a shoulder on which you can cry when you miss your home.

A companion can share the costs with you. You can stay in one room, buy a dinner, have it together and share the bill, etc. It’s good to travel with someone who has the same or similar pattern of payment as you so you can support each other without having any arguments.

Having a companion by your side when travelling means less loneliness. You don’t think about it unless you get left in the middle of nowhere, far away from your friends and family. Then you wish to have someone with you.

In short, travelling with someone is the best choice for people who are short of travel experience. We might sometimes feel like being on our own and enjoy the sights with nobody behind our back but at the end of the day you have much more fun when being with someone, especially for a long run.

10 . After hours of work, people need to relax minds to work at their best.    1    But almost 60 percent of the office workers are unable to enjoy a good nap(打盹) during their lunch breaks.

Going to a gym during lunchtime may sound more tiring than relaxing, but it works.     3    

Fill in the break with interest.

Break can also be seen as an opportunity to develop your hobby. You can use the time after eating to do something interesting.     4    

    5
