Not many years ago, a   1    (wealth) and rather strange old man named Johnson lived alone in a village in the south of England. He had made a lot of money in  　　2     (trade) with foreign countries. When he was seventy-five, he gave £ 12,000 to the village school to buy land and equipment for a children’s playground.
    As a result of his     3     (kind), many people came to visit him.    4    them was a newspaperman. During their talk, Johnson remarked that he was seventy-five and expected   5        (live) to be a hundred. The newspaperman asked him     6     he managed to be healthy at seventy-five. Johnson liked whisky (威士忌酒) and drank some each day. He had   7     good sense of humor. “I have an injection (注射) in my neck each evening.”, he told the newspaperman,      8      (think) of his evening glass of whisky.
    The newspaperman did not understand what Johnson    9    (mean). In his newspaper he reported that Johnson was seventy-five and had a    10   (day) injection in his neck. Within a week, Johnson received thousands of letters from people throughout Britain, in the hope of getting the secret of his injection.

It is unfair for parents to blame schools for the   (1)  (fail) of their children’s education. Many parents do not prepare their children for school. It is up   (2)   the parents to take time to educate their children, beginning with teaching them their ABC’s, name, address, telephone number, and most   (3)  (important), manners and respect for others.

Knowing how to read builds   (4)  (confident), and a hunger to learn more, when you are a child. You can’t wait until you get a letter from the child’s teacher   (5)  (tell) you that your child is failing before you step in. You need to prepare that child as early as possible for school.

My daughter began reading at the age of three. Receiving books in the mail   (6)  (strengthen) her desire to want to learn how to read. Reading is the key. Once a child learns how to read, it will open up many   (7)  (chance) for self motivation to learn, and everything comes easy for that child   (8)   knows how to read.

Just don’t be   (9)   absentee parent. Once children get well   (10)  (educate), that is something no one can ever take away from them.

I never thought that a little help would turn out to be the most satisfying thing in my life. I once met a young man       61      seemed tired and in pain on my way home. With a smile, he asked       62      I could lend him some money. He was paralyzed (瘫痪)in both legs and was raising money for a(n)       63      (operate). Actually I was full       64       doubts as every day many people play such tricks       65       (get) money. I even asked him to show me his legs. Then I gave him some money and left.

After a few days, he again arrived at my doorstep asking for more money. This time I was       66      (entire) convinced he was cheating me. I still gave him some money and said it was all I had.

Years later, one day I got       67      call from an unknown number. The man told me his name but I didn’t recognize him. He said, “it is because of your help      68      I’m now able to stand on my leg and have a good job.” What he said next made me      69       (surprise).He said he wanted to return me       70      I wouldn’t feel cheated and would continue to help people in need in the future.

When I was in elementary school, I didn’t like going to school. I had  61  (difficult) with reading and writing and I always couldn’t answer the teacher’s questions  62  (correct). I cried a lot at school because I  63 (laugh) at by my classmates. My parents would always get mad at me. I felt very upset and didn’t have any interest   64  study.

   But then one day, I decided  65  (change)my attitude towards study. So I ended up  66  (pay) more attention in class and I started to practice my vocabulary and spelling skills. Also, I always  67  (go) to my teachers  to ask for help when I had any trouble. I started to do better in Grade 3  68  I was in Grade 4, I was still improving. By Grade 5, I had become the top student in class.

   Now as I ‘m  69   senior high school student. I know it might be difficult at first. But like my past in elementary school, I know if I keep working and don’t give up, I will be  70 (success).
