In my years of using computers and technology I have found them to be 7 . I may want to do something on a computer; 8 , I could find my way blocked. So I 9 for a little bit, pool my resources, and if I use a search engine, a way can present itself for me to 10 my final goal.
These days it seems to be even 11 to do this. If I wanted to communicate with someone there used to be 12 two ways to access them: the telephone and snail mail. Now, 13 the internet and smart phones, I can count off the top of my head at least five ways I can contact a person and 14 to them.

Now, approaching retirement, I want to spend more time in where I grew up.

At 3 pm I knocked 8 on the door, uneasy and went in. The official, a middle-aged woman asked me to take a seat when she got my file out.

It was an oath （誓言）I was reading, swearing to be 12 to this country and to 13 all the social rules. Then she asked me to sign to give up my Indian 14 . My eyes were full of tears, reading the citizenship certificate she handed me. We shook hands. No photograph, no flowers-just a 15 handshake. To 16 my tears, I said it was a huge step in my life, however, a terrible 17 as well. I watched sadly as she took my old Indian passport away. "Can I get it back after it's been 18 " I asked. "That's something you'll have to ask the Indian consulate(领事馆)," she said. "It's their 19 , not ours, and certainly not yours."

I'm 13 the days when we can 14 our friends and family again, and honestly even a handshake with a stranger sounds nice. I can't wait for a time when we can go outside without 15 . Yet, right now we have the time to smell the weeds. It's a forced 16 to consider all the things we could or should have been doing all along 17 rushing into the next big important thing.
As I dig a dandelion out of my pocket and let out a sneeze(喷嚏), I realize this isn't fun, but there are pockets of 18 . Dandelions don't smell like roses but they are 19 when you really look at them and important when you really think about them.

Since our twins began learning to walk, my wife and I have kept telling them that our sliding glass door is just a window. The 1 is obvious. If we 2 it is a door, they'll want to go outside 3 .

Our emotions are consistently in a state of 10 .
Recently, our good friends told us about a video interview they were doing with Watts of Love, a solar light company.

What 14 our lives most was being able to share this gift with others. We 15 the lamps house by house to the people in the mountains who needed them most, as even batteries and candles are 16 there. Even though 17 have come slowly, people have been out of work and can’t afford to 18 their electric bill.
