In England the launch of the Christmas adverts(电视广告) seems to signal the start of the Christmas period. However, I don’t think it   61   (see) as such a big event in France. Yes, of course they celebrate Christmas here, and there are   62  (obvious) displays in shops and Christmas markets, but   63   seem to be no signs of Christmas adverts. I’m sure they exist but they don’t seem to have the same impact here,   64   they do in the UK.

Through the power of all kinds of social media, Christmas adverts in the UK are even starting to spread to other countries. Some of   65  (I) French friends seemed to know about the John Lewis Christmas adverts,   66   is undoubtedly the one people are fond of each year.

The main reason why I look forward   67   the Christmas adverts each year is that it   68   (signal) the approach of the festival period for me and is something that reminds me of home. I think it’s always nice to have something   69  (remind) you of home when living in   70    foreign country.

Everyone gets frustrated sometimes. I used to be always influenced by pressure and I was often in low spirits. But one day I came    62    a sentence in the Bible: “Do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Let the day’s own trouble be sufficient for the day.” It suddenlystruckmethat   63     (worry) about a problem doesn’t help. Why not just give a big smile and face up to the trouble?

Now every time I want to cry, I remind myselfof the fact   64     laughteris better than tears and anger. I am  ­­­   65       (convince) that there’ssomething magical about a smile. A smile helps me recover confidence and gives methecourage     66    (struggle)on.

So remember, whenever you’re     67     (fair) treatedandwhenever you   68    (face)with a setback (挫折),   69   it takes is determinationtocheer yourself upagain. Smile at life,     70    it will shine on you.

 In your daily life, there are many examples your parents control hundreds 61     things for you when you are a kid, such as the clothes you wear, the food you eat, where you go and how you get there. It is a good thing. Kids need this kind of 62     (protect) and help because they are not old enough to take care of 63      (they) and make decisions 64      (correct). But with you growing 65     (old), the part of being a teen is developing your own identity — one that 66    (seprarate) from your parents’. Different attitudes towards events like partying may lead to arguments, because your parents will always want to protect you and keep you safe, no matter how old you are. As 67      result, your parents feel it hard to get used to the new situation with 68      (increase) anxiety. What kids should keep in mind is 69      in most cases, your parents can relate to what you’re going through because they 70      (be) teens once.
