Mr. Right put my paper on my desk. There in big red numbers, circled to draw _________, was my score, 55!

I lowered my head, and _________ the score up quickly. A 55 is not something that you wanted your classmates to see.

A 55. That’s me!

_________ my sad look didn’t look so bad. I had the highest score. I felt a lot better.

I walked home alone that day with the low but high score. My father knew that I had a big _________ that day and asked me as soon as I got home, “_________ did you do in your test?”

“I got 55,” I said.

3 . I am lucky enough to have two pairs of grandparents. Both couples have been together for over 50 years and they seem to know a thing or two about relationships. I’ve asked my grandparents to share their secrets and combined their answers into this list. Read on to learn about the things you should do to have a happy family.

    1     This doesn’t have to mean all the time. Forcing everyone in the family to drop all of their things and go to the dining room twice a day is nonsense. If you can, have dinner together every evening. If a daily dinner doesn’t work for everyone, try it at least twice a week.

Have some time for yourself. Spending time with your family is great, but having time for yourself is also very important. Enjoying some alone time doesn’t make you a bad parent or spouse.     2     Realizing and respecting that is the key to a happy family.

Have traditions.     3     Maybe that means eating pancakes every Sunday morning or celebrating your birthday in a special place. One of the greatest family traditions is to celebrate big holidays together.

Say nice things. Feeling appreciated is one of the most important things in a happy family. All of the family members should say how much they appreciate each other, and how grateful they are for everything they do for each other.     4     Hugs and kisses also do a great job.

Travel. Seeing new things, visiting new places, and experiencing new emotions bring people closer together. Try to go on a big trip at least once a year.     5     Go to your lake house for a weekend, or go camping for a couple of days.

A．Eat together.

B．Everyone needs it.

C．Learn something new together.

D．If you can, go on some small trips once in a while, too.

E．Creating your own family traditions is an amazing thing to do.

F．Those easy words of appreciation can make a family much stronger.

G．Parents can surprise their children with an unexpected trip to a theme park.

4 . Born in Balmain, New South Wales in 1937, Dawn Fraser is the youngest of eight children from a working-class family. In 1952, her great swimming ability was noticed by coach Harry Gallagher, who took over her training and set the 1956 Olympics as their goal.
