My father and I disagreed about curfew(宵禁). He'd say I was to be in by 9:30 on weekdays, and 11:00 on weekends, no exceptions. I told him it made me feel like a junior-high kid. He e 1 that while a curfew night sound like a restriction(管束), it's really about people looking out for one another.
The very next Friday after that pretty heated exchange, my dad and I had tickets to see our town's professional football game. On that day he was d 2 to a nearby city to meet with some major clients and told me that his getting home and our leaving for the game would be tight(紧的).
To make sure we could move off the m 3 he walked in, I got everything prepared. When a half hour had passed from the time he said he'd be home, I understood that he was a little l 4 . But then, nearly a whole hour passed. I was getting upset. We were going to miss the kick-off! And why hadn't he phoned me and let me know he was going to be really late As I anxiously paced the floor, a 5 half hour passed. That's when I got really angry. How inconsiderate of my father! Now we were going to miss the whole game! When yet another half hour passed, my anger turned to f 6 . What if something terrible had happened to my dad, like he had a heart attack or had been in an accident, or something I began to really worry. I'd already called his cellphone about ten times, but no a 7 .
I was beside myself, assuming the worst had happened.
Finally, the phone rang, and my dad said breathlessly, "Son, I'm so sorry about the game, but…there was a terrible accident…on the freeway coming home, and I stopped to help…and e 8 up going to the hospital. I l 9 my cellphone in the car, so I couldn't call until now."
I was so relieved to hear from my father and to learn that he was safe that I actually cried. That was when I "got" the i 10 of a curfew: Checking in! It's about knowing that someone you love is safe. It was one more proof of my father's loving me as much as he does.

When John was eighteen, he bought a secondhand car for 200 so that he could travel to and from work more easily than by bus. It worked quite well for a few years, but then it got so old, and it was costing him so much in repairs that he decided that he had better s 1 it.
He asked among his friends to see if anyone was particularly(尤其) a 2 to buy a cheap car, but they all knew that it was f 3 to pieces, so none of them had any desire(愿望，渴望) to buy it. John’s friend Sam saw that he was upset when they met one evening, and said, “What’s up, john ” John told him, and Sam answered, “Well, what about advertising it in the paper You may get more for it that way than the cost of the advertisement!” Thinking that Sam’s a 4 was good, he put an advertisement in an evening paper, which r 5 “For sale: small car, uses very little petrol(汽油), only two owners. Bargain at 50.”
For two days after the advertisement first appeared, there was no answer. But then on Saturday evening he had an enquiry(询问). A man rang up and said he would like to see him about the car. “All right,” John said, feeling happy. He asked the man whether ten o’clock the next morning would be s 6 or not. “Fine,” the man said, “and I’ll bring my wife. We intend(打算) to go for a r 7 in it to test it.”
The next morning, at a quarter to ten, John parked the car in the square outside his front door, m 8 to wait there for the c 9 who had answered his advertisement. Even John had to admit that the car really looked like a wreck(残骸). Then, soon after he had got the car as clean as it could be, a police car stopped just behind him and a policeman got out. He looked at John’s car and then said, “Have you r 10 this accident to us yet, sir ”

One of the greatest things about getting out of the city is heading into nature and really communing with the earth and wildlife. But sometimes, wild animals find their way into the city.
A man n 1 Tom Bell lives in London. When he went up to his rooftop to take a break one day, he realized he wasn’t a 2 . But don’t worry. His v 3 was of the fuzzy(毛茸茸的) variety. A wild fox had made its way up to the roof just in time to catch the sunset. It was getting dark and cold, but l 4 , there was a blanket(毯子) laid out and ready for it! The tired fox just wanted to have a sleep.
Tom quickly shared the event online with the world and r 5 many likes. People were obviously attracted by the truly unbothered fox. According to the lucky man, the fox got up there through the fire escape. A man called Steve even p 6 it some music to make sure the fox had the perfect evening!
In fact, London is home to many foxes, but not all of them are so cute and beautiful. They’ve come to be called urban(城市的) foxes and they began to make t 7 at home in London back in the 1930s when the city’s growth started spreading their natural area. And they live in cities all over England. It is supposed that there’s a population of about 33, 000 urban foxes in t 8 in the country.
Once Tom shared his cute house guest, others around London also started p 9 photos of their urban foxes! Well, it’s probably safe to say that we’re a little envious of these lucky persons and their fuzzy visitors. It is a 10 to see that people and the wild animals can live together peacefully.

My 83-year-old mother came to live with me a year ago last November. She was very ill and I had to put my life on hold to care for her.
Each morning, I got her up and d 1 her and made her breakfast and sat with her. I rushed for a bowl when she felt sick, and l 2 fires to keep her warm. I cooked and talked her into eating some. It’s a hard job caring for a sick or dying parent, whoever you are. But it was e 3 hard for me, I feel, because I am a doctor m 4 . I couldn’t help looking at her in two different ways. The m 5 professional saw a body and scrutinized(仔细检查) it with the cold heart that medicine requires. But the daughter saw the woman who had given b 6 to me, sent me off to college and had been an important role for a long time in my life for over half a century.
Also, my mother didn’t appreciate how hard it was for me to care for her. I remember an e 7 between her and the nurse who came to see her once a week:
“You could get some more help with care.”
“Oh, I don’t think I need that,” Mom said.
Mom didn’t understand that the help would have taken some of the hard work off me. None of the treatments her doctors gave her worked, and finally her life became about free of pain. She r 8 painkillers(止痛药) for a long time, but finally the pain beat her. And when she accepted painkillers, she accepted the fact that she would die.
Illness and needs took us across personal boundaries(边界) I’d never considered before. And yet, while living and being and dying with Mom I saw something valuable coming. We became closer. We s 9 so many stories from our past that it was as if our memories had become one.
In the past our relationship had been difficult. We had often argued. But when the end came, both of us simply accepted that we looked at the world in different ways. We were daughter and mother and we loved each other. That was all that m 10 .

I worried I was saying no to my kid too much. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with “no”. But it started to feel like my kid c 1 me as one thing standing in between her and fun. So I came up with a secret experiment: one week of saying yes to anything my kid asked for (within reason). Of course, I made some rules.
I started my Week of Yes, but quickly r 2 that my habit of saying no was deeply rooted in my brain. I went to p 3 up my 6-year-old daughter from the summer camp, and she asked for an ice cream in a nearby stand. I was about to “no” this without t 4 . But then I remembered I had to say yes for a week and I agreed. She sweetly thanked me. She must have s 5 something was going on because she asked if she could watch the television as soon as we walked into our house. “Yes,” I said. But I was a 6 to limit her to one episode(集), and she turned the TV off without complaint.
Then it was mid-week, and we settled into a cycle of television and ice cream. This is, obviously, e 7 my daughter wants in life, and I’m shocked at how o 8 I’ve said no before. Before bedtime, she asked to go to the beach. So the next day we had f 9 searching for seashells.
At no time during the week did my daughter ask to do anything absurd(荒谬的) or unacceptable. Saying yes allowed her to grow into h 10 , helped me to lighten up and relax as a parent, and also offered new opportunities for us to connect, play and bond.

When Jane Goodall was six years old, she was often w 1 up by alarm bells. This was during World War Ⅱ. The bells w 2 people that enemy planes were flying over their English town. While her family were quickly running to a bomb shelter(防空洞), Goodall would often refuse to f 3 them. “I did not want to leave my bed.” she said.
That same stubbornness(倔强) led her to become one of the world’s best-known animal researchers. In 1960, Goodall sat for months in the forests of Tanzania, in Africa. She was p 4 waiting for the local chimps(黑猩猩) to accept her so that she could observe them up close. Nobody before her had ever thought of studying chimps this way. Goodall discovered that this animal species(物种) could use t 5 . Her conclusion that chimps are intelligent animals shocked the world. It forever changed the world’s understanding of animals. Humans used to believe that they were the world’s one and only intelligent animal species.
In1986 Goodall attended a meeting about the destruction of wild life habitats(栖息地) around the world. She left the meeting with renewed ideas about nature. Just doing research, she told h 6 would no longer be enough to protect animals. The woman began to travel around the world. She shared her life story so as to inspire people to care about n 7 . Goodall used to travel more than 300 days a year. After COVID-19 broke out, she circled her travels. Now, the 87-year-old s 8 hours each day doing lectures and interviews online. Her stories leave people feeling hopeful about our planet.
And perhaps you have heard of Roots & Shoots(根与芽). Goodall set up this youth-action program in 1991. Today, the program has spread to more than 60 countries. At least 100, 000 kids and teens are running n 9 6, 000 projects about animals and the environment. Goodall says it’s important for young people to keep a 10 the hope that “your actions can make a difference.”

That day, Dad said when seeing me watching a local TV show Talent Sprouts, “You can perform Ave Marie, thinking of it as a great e 1 to be on TV!”
I didn’t want to. But when my musical teacher agreed that I could manage with the show, I mailed my application with the required information. I didn’t tell anyone outside my family about it--I had to avoid being a j 2 if I lost.
Soon a 3 the big day. The first two players performed smoothly. I was next! I went to the piano, and began to play confidently. Easy, so easy!
Right to the end of p 4 , I suddenly realized I should not be at the end! My heart jumped to my mouth. Oh! I had missed a part, a huge part. How could I work out a solution fast enough to get smoothly back and f 5 in the missing part However, I couldn’t. I had to gather the c 6 to smile at the camera before the light went off. Finally, I was presented a certification of participation.
On my way back home, I felt more relieved than disappointed. In truth, the other three were f 7 better. But I was glad I had at least made a wise decision--I hadn’t told my friends my appearance on TV.
The next day, my classmate, Chard Larson, came to me. “I saw you on TV!” he smiled.
Uh-oh, my failure was a 8 to be broadcast to my classmates. The shame I feared would follow soon!
But before I could say something, he continued, “You should have told us you were going to be on TV. You were good!”
His generosity t 9 me and almost shocked me. I got some calm and self-confidence from the experience on Talent Sprouts. But from Chard’s words, I got more than I would have from perfect playing or winning the c 10 .

I still remember how I knew the young musician Mr. Patrick. I was invited to a 1 an activity at the Kentucky School. That evening I found thankfulness had amazing power to change our attitude and our life.
Mr. Patrick was rolled onto the stage in his wheelchair and began to play the piano. His fingers danced across the keys as he made beautiful music. He then began to sing as he played, and it was wonderful. But w 2 shocked me most was his magic smile.
Mr. Patrick was b 3 with no eyes and an illness in the legs which left him lame for life. But as a child he was f 4 artificial(人工的，人造的) eyes and placed in a wheelchair. Before his first birthday, he discovered the piano. When his mom hit any note on the piano, and within one or two t 5 , he'd get it. By his second birthday, he was playing "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star". His father was overjoyed. "We might not play baseball, but we can play music together."
When Patrick was at the University of Louisville, his father worked the night shift(夜班) in o 6 to attend his daytime classes with him. Patrick says: "My dad is my hero."
But even more than his unbelievable musical t 7 , it was his "attitude of thankfulness" that touched my soul. On stage, between songs, he mentioned to the audience he had a great father. When his performance was over, Patrick and his father were on the stage together. The crowd r 8 to their feet and c 9 for over five minutes.
We all face bad luck in our lives. However, it's not the hardship but how we react to it that will decide the joy and happiness in our lives. During hard times, do we spend too much time feeling sorry for o 10 , or can we learn how to dance in the rain with thankfulness 课题： 阅读理解填词/首填/首字母填空练习
