One day, Bruce invited his friends to supper. He was cooking some delicious food in the kitchen. Suddenly, he     61     (find) that he had run out of salt. So Bruce called to his son，“Go to the village and buy some salt，but pay a fair price for it: neither too much     62    too little.”

His son looked surprised.  “I can understand why I shouldn’t pay too much, Father, but

    63     I can pay less, why not save a bit of money?”

“That would be a very     64     (reason) thing to do in a big city, but it could destroy a small village like ours,” Bruce said.

Bruce’s guests,     65     had heard their conversation, asked why they should not buy salt more cheaply if they could. Bruce replied，“The only reason     66     a man would sell salt at a lower price would be that he was very eager for money. And anyone who made use     67    this situation would be showing a lack of respect     68     the sweat and struggle of the man who worked very hard to produce it.”

“But such a small thing couldn’t possibly destroy a village.”

“In the beginning, there was only     69     very small amount of unfairness in the world，but everyone added a little，always    70     (think) that it was only small and not very important，and look what the world is like today.”

She has wiped your nose, packed countless lunches,   61  (drive) you to piano lessons, cleaned your favorite jeans, seen you through college   62  given you sound advice more times   63  you can count. On Mother’s Day — the one day a year that is truly about “mom”, don’t take her out to   64   crowded, noisy and overpriced restaurant. Show your mom that you really put some thought into her special day and host brunch (早午餐) in her honor.

There’s no need for your hands to start sweating from fear of standing near a hot stove, your face covered in flour and smoke alarms going   65   in the distance. Brunch can be as easy as you’d like it to be.

The beauty of brunch is   66   you can offer both breakfast and lunch selections, so there’s usually something for everyone. Popular brunch selections include coffee cakes or quick bread such as banana bread. A lovely fruit salad can   67  （quick）be made by mixing together two or   68  (many)of the following: strawberries, pineapple, cantaloupe (甜瓜), watermelon, and mango. 

Food is obviously the major part of brunch,    69   there are nice decorative things you can add to help make the occasion more memorable.    70  （decorate）the room or table with photos of mom with her kids or grandkids. A simple, fresh bunch of flowers will liven up (使活跃) any table and it will also make a great gift for mom as a memento（纪念品）of her wonderful brunch.

Recycling can help us save the earth,  70  let’s take action（采取行动） right now.

Many of us were raised with the saying “Waste not, want not.” None of us, however, can 61   (complete) avoid waste in our lives.

    Any kind of waste is thoughtless. Whether we waste our potential talents, our own time, our limited   62 (nature) resource, our       money, 63  other people’s time, each of us can become more aware and careful. The smallest good habits can make a big   64 (differ). It’s a good feeling to know in our hearts we are doing our best in a world  65  is in serious trouble. By being devoted to 66  (save) oil, water, paper, food, and clothing, we are playing   67 part in cutting down on waste.

     We must keep reminding 68   (we) that it is easier to get into something than it is to get out of it. Actually, severe damage  69  (do) to our land is fairly recent in the history of our evolution. It’s time for us to say no to waste so that our grandchildren’s children  70  (be)able to develop well. We can’t solve all the problems of waste, but we can encourage mindfulness.
