I’ve got a problem with my husband, Sam. He bought a __（1）_ a couple of months ago, and he took it on our recent ski vacation to Colorado. It was a great  (1)  except for one problem. He has a constant urge to check for text messages; he checks his phone every five minutes! He’s so   (2)  to it that he just can’t stand the idea that there may be a(n)   (3)  text. He can’t help checking even at   (4)  times like when we are  (5)   in a restaurant and I am talking to him! He   (6)  as if any small amount of boredom(厌烦) can make him feel the need to check his phone even when he knows he shouldn’t. The   (7)  to see who is contacting him is just too great. When I ask him to   (8)  the phone and stop   (9)  me, he says, “In a minute.” but still checks to see if someone has posted something  (10)  on the Internet. Our life is  (11)   If we go somewhere and I ask him to   (12)   the phone at home, he  (13)  from withdrawal（撤回）symptoms. Maybe this dependency   (14)  _ his smartphone has become more than an everyday problem.

 I recently read an article about “nomophobia,” which is a real   (15)  people can suffer from the   (16)  of being without your phone! I am worried that Sam may be suffering from this illness because he feels   (17)  if he doesn’t have his phone with him, even for a short time.

Who would have thought so   (18)  items like these could have brought so much   (19)  !

I'd been travelling for long hours on a lonely country road when I had a flat tyre．So I had to stop and get the tools to   (1)  the problem．It certainly wasn't    (2)    doing this with a white shirt and suit on．

Nightfall was approaching．Suddenly a car pulled     (3)    from behind me．A man got out and offered to    (4)    me．Seeing his unpleasant appearance and tattoos（纹身）on his arm, I became   (5)   as thoughts of robberies flashed through my mind．But     (6)     I could say anything he had already begun to take the tools to change the   (7)   ．While watching him I happened to look back at his car and noticed someone sitting in the passenger seat．This had     (8)    me．

Then, without    (9)   , it began to rain．He suggested that I wait in his car because my car was unsafe．As the rain increased, getting us wet within seconds I      (10)         agreed．When I settled into the back seat, a woman's voice came from the front seat．"Are you all right?" She turned around to me．"Yes, I am," I replied with much    (11)    when seeing an old woman there．It must be his Mom, I thought．To my    (12)     , the old woman was a neighbor of the man who was helping me．"Jeff insisted on stopping when he saw you     (13)    with the tyre．" "I am grateful for his help," I said．”Me, too!" she said with a smile．He helped drive her to see her husband twice a week in a nursing home．She also said that he     (14)   at the church and tutored disadvantaged students．

The rain stopped and Jeff and I changed the tyre．I tried to offer him money and of course he    (15)    it．It was shameful that I judged people by the way they    (16)   .   As we shook hands I began to apologize for my    (17)   . He said, "I experience that same     (18)   often. People who look like me don't do nice things．I     (19)    thought about changing the way．But then I saw this as a chance to make a     (20)   . So I'll leave you with the same question I ask everyone who takes time to know me．If Jesus returned tomorrow and walked among us again, would you recognize Him by what He wore or by what He did?"

 I was said to be the worst student in my class, and my family thought I was helpless. I had to   (1)   grade six. At the time a new teacher, Miss Sadia, came to our school.

  One day after class, she   (2)  that I was staying alone during the lunch break. She came to me and began to talk to me. It was just a   (3)  conversation. After that day, she gave me particular   (4)  and it made me feel special. I started to work hard because she gave me the feeling that   (5)  believed me, and my   (6)  started to improve in her subject.

  Months later, she moved into a house near my   (7)  . WE would walk home together after school. Her constant support helped me,   (8)  in my studies, as I knew she would   (9)  my grades both in her subject and the other subjects. I finally   (10)  second in my class.

  Then, after grade six, she started to slowly drift away(疏远)   (11)  still kept a constant check on me. By the time I was in grade seven, we   (12)  spoke, but by then I had become the   (13)  in my class. When I left my school, I was   (14)  with her, as she never answered the   (15)  when I called her.

  Then I graduated and went to a good university,. One fine day, our paths(路)   (16)    again. I met her at a wedding. I could not   (17)  asking her, “Why did you stop talking to me?”

  “You are a clever boy. I wanted you to be a tree   (18)  on your own roots, not depending on others. Now here you are and I feel   (19)  of you. You are your inspiration and do not need to   (20)  a shoulder,” she said. I could not say anything, but I smiled. I’ll always thank her.

One day, a poor boy who was trying to pay his way through school by selling goods door to door found that he only had one dime (一角硬币) left. He was hungry so he decided to beg for a meal at the next house.

However, when a lovely  (1)   woman opened the door, he asked for a drink of water. She brought him a large glass of  (2)  . He drank it slowly, and then asked, “How much do I  (3)  you ” “You don’t owe me anything,” she  (4)  . “Mother has taught me never to accept pay for  (5)  .” He said, “Then I thank you from the bottom of my heart.” Howard Kelly left that house, he not only felt  (6)  physically, but it also increased his faith in God and the human race. He was about to  (7)  and quit  (8)  this point.

Years later the woman became seriously ill. The  (9)  doctors could do nothing. They finally sent her to the big city, where specialists（专家） can be gathered to study her  (10)  disease. Dr. Howard Kelly, now famous, was   (11)  for the consultation (会诊). When he heard the name of the town she came from, a   (12)  light filled his eyes. Immediately, he rose and went down the hospital  (13)  hall into her room. Dressed in his doctor’s gown（长衫），he went in to see her. He  (14)  her at once. He went back to the consultation room and  (15)  to do his best to save her life. From that day on, he gave special  (16)  to her ease.

After a long struggle, the battle was won. Dr. Kelly  (17)  the business office to pass the final bill to him for approval(批准). He looked at it and then wrote  (18)  on the side. The bill was sent to her room. She was  (19)  to open it because she was sure that it would take the rest of her life to pay it off.   (20)  she looked and the note on the side of the bill caught her attention. She read these words: “Paid in full with a glass of milk.”(Signed) Dr. Howard Kelly. Tears of joy flooded her eyes as she prayed silently: “Thank you, God. Your love has spread through human hearts and hands.”

I lifted my wet woollen gloves to my face and wiped the snowflakes from my eyes. I could not feel my nose and my   (1)  formed a thick fog in the air. The biting wind was making me  (2)   I was fed up! I didn’t want to be here. I wanted to go home. But Mum and Dad had   (3)  me to go for a Sunday afternoon walk in the park. I could see my (4) inthe snowy path, like a trail of breadcrumbs (一串面包屑) in the forest showing me the way   (4)  .

I stopped and listened to my   (5)  . I could   (6)   the wind crying like a homeless dog hungry for a delicious   (7)  . The once-green tree  (8)  , which used to wave gently in the breeze, had become bare, and the grass was covered with a  (9)   blanket of fresh snow. Then I saw a broken spider’s web shining golden beneath a pale sun. My breath was like silky soft   (10)  floating up into the freezing cold air.

Suddenly there was Mum,  (11)   handing me a big cup of hot chocolate. Her big smile immediately   (12)   my heart. 

“Here you are, Jo. This will keep you   (13)  ,” she said as she placed a comforting arm around my shoulders and   (14)   her cheek against mine.

I slowly took a mouthful of the hot   (15)   and felt it slowly dripping down my throat like lava (熔岩)  (16)   down a mountainside. My wet woollen gloves were now warm, not  (17)  . My breath warmed, and I was  (18)   fed up or cold. I was happy and   (19)  .

One summer day my father sent me to buy wire for our farm. At 16, I liked   (1)   better than driving our truck,   (2)   this time I was not happy. My father had told me I’d have to ask for credit(赊账) at the store.

Sixteen is a   (3)   age, when a young man wants respect, not charity. It was 1976, and the ugly   (4)   of racial discrimination was   (5)   a fact of life. I’d seen my friends ask for credit and then stand, head down, while the store owner   (6)   whether they were “good for it.” I knew black youths just like me who were   (7)   like thieves by the store clerk each time they went into a grocery.

My family was   (8)  . We paid our debts. But before harvest, cash was short. Would the store owner   (9)   us?

At Davis’s store, Buck Davis stood behind the cash desk, talking to a farmer. I nodded   (10)   I passed him on my way to the hardware shelves. When I brought my   (11)   to the cash desk, I said   (12)  , “I need to put this on credit.”

The farmer gave me an amused, distrustful   (13)  . But Buck’s face didn’t change. “Sure,” he said   (14)  . “Your daddy is   (15)   good for it.” He   (16)   to the other man. “This here is one of James Williams’s sons.”

The farmer nodded in a neighborly   (17)  . I was filled with pride. James William’s son. Those three words had opened a door to an adult’s respect and trust.

That day I discovered that the good name my parents had   (18)   brought our whole family the respect of our neighbors. Everyone knew what to   (19)   from a Williams: a decent person who kept his word and respected himself   (20)   much to do wrong.

I take the train to work every morning from a train station near my house. I can get to the station quite  (  1  )   because there is a short cut to the station. But in the summer, it can get quite smelly because of all the   (  2  )    . So I always try to   (  3  )   through it. Today I was trying to do so as usual    (  4  )   something made me stop for a moment. I saw the most beautiful    (  5  )    by an old woman walking in front of me with the help of a white   (  6  )   .

She was short and    (  7  )    and had white hair. She was walking   (  8  )   as each step took some effort. I hadn’t specially noticed her    (  9  )    ,until she stopped near a rubbish bin.

She slowly placed her walking stick   (  10  )   the rubbish bin. Then she leaned on it with her right hand. She bent down and    (  11  )    the rubbish. She clearly found it   (  12  )   and it took her a while. She   (  13  )   some rubbish with her left hand and slowly straightened herself up again. All the while she used the rubbish bin to   (  14  )   herself. She threw the rubbish inside the bin and then   (  15  )   walking. It all took her great effort.

There’s so much rubbish and no one ever does   (  16  )   about it. I was moved to    (  17  )    this old woman make such a great effort to keep even a small part of it   (  18  )   ! I haven’t been able to   (  19  )  thinking about that all day.

I want to follow her example. I’ve decided to pick up rubbish off the   (  20  )   if I meet from now on. I hope people will do the same as I do.

The government in China plans to end its one-child per family policy(政策) and instead let families have two children.

 People knew the   (1)   after an important meeting in Beijing. It’s reported that there are many reasons   (2)   the change in policy. One of them is to  (3)   population development. 

 China has the worldˈs   (4)   population. It carried out the one-child policy in 1980. But the government  (5)   only a small number of couples to have two children. For example, at rural areas,  (6)  the first-born is a girl, couples can have a second child.

 In 2013, the Chinese government  (7)   other couples a chance to have two children. Families could have two if one  (8)  was an only child. However, too many young people in the cities are probably no longer   (9)   in having a second child. 

 At the end of 2014, China had a population of 1.37 billion people. A total of 800  (10)  of them are employed(雇佣). With the two-child policy, an increase in births will change the labor shortage(短缺).
