The man was nearly out of sight　65　the Frenchman suddenly found that his watch was gone. He thought that it must be the Italian who　66　( take)his watch. He decided to follow and got back the watch.

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.

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.

  One day, a woman friend brought him a few sheets of a boy’s handwriting. She said that she wanted to know  65    Balzac thought of the boy’s character.

  Balzac  66   (study) the handwriting carefully for a few minutes. Then he looked at the woman strangely. The woman, however, told him that the boy was no relative of her  67   that he could tell her the truth.

  “Good,” said Balzac. “Then I can speak  68  (frank).”

  He then went on say that he thought the boy was a careless and lazy person. “He would grow up to be a good-for-nothing. His family would be   69   (shame) of him,” he added.

  “Isn’t that strange,” said the woman, smiling.

  “Because this happens to be pages from your own copybook,  70   you yourself used when you were a boy.”
