20、r expression of her love.Time after time, with the passing years, my _21_ (think) returned to that night. By then I missed my mothers hands, missed her goodnight kiss on my forehead.

Even more _23_ (importance) than his printing was the fact _24_ he did more than anyone else to popularize the cards by instituting nationwide contests for the

30、y made effort to help Claire get herself and her home 18 (improve), Claire began to feel her earlier attitude 19 Tony really absurd(荒唐可笑的，荒唐的，不合理的).Then one day, Claire got protected from a rude salesman by ringing 20 Tony and asking the man to speak to Tony but found her “affair” with Tony discover
31、ed as she turned 21 to see Gladys Claffern standing nearby. But then Claire, 22 (advise) by Tony, arranged a party to invite Gladys and her friends to the house when it was 23 (complete) transformed.The love scene well planned by Tony without Claires knowledge won Claire a sweet victory as her guest
32、s had seen everything, but she shouted “Leave me alone!” and cried her heart out. 24 Tony caused no risk to Claires marriage; he was finally taken back to the company to be 25 (built), for he was a heartbreaker for women!10In social life, time plays a very important partIn the U.S.A.,guests tend to

36、ing gum. The new gum can _16_ (remove) easily from pavements, shoes and clothes. Its the result of polymer (聚合体) research at the University of Bristol and could be launched commercially in 2008. _17_ it catches on(流行), the product will solve _18_ major headache for present authorities around the wor
37、ld.“The advantage of our Clean Gum is that _19_ has a great taste, it is easy to remove and has the potential to be _22_ (environment) degradable (可降解的),” said Terence Cosgrove, a professor of chemistry _21 _ helped to found a company called Revolymer to commercialize the technology.Todays chewing g
38、ums are made from synthetic(人工制造的) latex(植物的乳汁), which is resistant _22_ the weather and is strongly sticky. The new gum adds a special polymer to modify(修改，改变) its properties(特性), _23 _ (make) it far _24 _ sticky.In two street trials, other commercial gums remained stuck to the pavement _25 _ Clean

With her familys attention and care, _25 _(lucky), by the time she was nine years old, she no longer needed her l
42、eg braces. 13One day a farmers donkey fell down into a well. The animal cried piteously _16_ hours as the farmer tried to figure out what to do. Finally, he decided the animal was old, and the well needed _17_ (cover) up anyway; it just wasnt worth _18_ to save the donkey.He invited all his neighbor
43、s to come over and help him. They all grabbed a shovel（铲） and began to shovel dirt into the well. At first, the donkey realized _19_ was happening and cried horribly. Then, to everyones amazement, he quieted down. A few shovel loads later, the farmer finally looked down the well. He _20_ (astonish)
44、at what he saw. With each shovel of dirt _21_ hit his back, the donkey was doing something _22_ (amaze). He would shake it off and take a step up._23_ the farmers neighbors continued to shovel dirt on top of the animal; he would shake it off and take a step up. Pretty soon, everyone was amazed as th
45、e donkey stepped up over _24_ edge of the well and happily ran off!Each of our troubles is a steppingstone. We can get out of the deepest wells just _25_ not giving up! Shake it off and take a step up. 14A new study from Finland shows pet owners tend to be heavier. 16 active and in poorer health tha
46、n people without a pet, which was released in PLOS ONE, an online journal 17 (publish) by the Public Library of Science. 18 a number of studies showed certain people can take advantage of a dog or cat to ease stress or loneliness in the elderly, researchers recently found pet owners were generally m
47、ore likely to be overweight and to view their own health 19 poor.The conclusion 20 (draw) from survey data of more than 21,000 young to middle aged Finnish adults.20070402This was 21 (large) because pet owners tended to be the middle aged. 22 had less education and more health risk factors explained
48、 Dr. Leena K. Koivusilta, the study is leading author.The fact that pet owners were in poorer health does not mean pets are bad for people. Koivusilta said. “In my opinion, pets provide us all 23 a vast potential for health promotion, and this has indeed been shown when some special groups have been
49、 studied.”As for pet owners, the researchers point out 24 need to make more of 25 effort such as walking and playing with the dog instead of showing him the way to the yard.15When I was growing up, I do not recall hearing the words “I love you” from my father. When your father never says _16_ to you
50、 when you are a child, it gets tougher and tougher for him _17_ (say) those words as he gets _18_ (old). To tell the truth, I could not honestly remember _19_ I had last said those words to him either. I decided to set my ego (自我) aside and make the first move. _20_ some hesitation, in our next phon
51、e conversation I blurted out (突然说出) the words, “Dad I love you!”There was a silence at the _21_ end and he _22_ (awkward) replied, “Well, same back at you!”I laughed and said, “Dad, I know you love me, and when you are ready, I know you _23_ (say) what you want to say.”A few weeks later, Dad conclud
52、ed our phone conversation _24_ the words, “Paul, I love you.” I was at work during this conversation and the tears were rolling down my cheeks _25_ I finally “heard” the love. As we both sat there in tears we realized that this special moment had taken our father-son relationship to a new level. 16A
53、 motto is a sentence or a phrase _16_ can inspire us especially when we are _17_(face) with difficulties. Many of us have our mottoes, such as “Where there is a will, there is a way.” Or “Nothing is difficult if you put your heart into it.”, and so on. My motto is “God helps those who help _18_.” So
54、metimes I am lazy and dont want to make efforts _19_( work) hard, _20_ the moment I think of my motto I will get energetic again and devote myself _21_ what I am doing. I write my motto _22_ I can see it easily. Every time I fail in my exam and begin to lose heart, the sight of my motto inspires me
55、with much _23_(confident). My motto also makes me become _24_ independent person. That is to say, I wont rely on others easily. My friends, what is your motto? If you still havent got a motto, please choose _25_ because a motto can have a great effect on you. 17At the age of 17, Swedish Alfred Nobel

(run) toward the rising sun.Such is life 24. you are an antelope or a lion, you ought to dash forward without 25. (hesitate) when the sun r
65、ises. 20We must have water to live. _ 16_ the water we use is clean and fresh, it will make us ill. The animals _ 17_ (live) in and around lakes and rivers must also have clean water. Our rivers and lakes supply most of our water. The clear, blue water found by the first American settlers has change
66、d. Many of our water sources are now _ 18_. They are filled _ 19_ dirt and waste which cannot be cleaned out. In many places, water is not safe for us to use.Lake Erie was _ 20_ a beautiful lake. Now it has been called “a dying lake”. Waste from nearby homes and factories has been dumped into _ 21_.
67、 Fish can no longer live in much of its polluted water. George Washington once called the Potomac “_ 22_ finest river in the world”. Now its water is no longer blue. Instead, it is soupy green. Suds(肥皂泡沫), from detergents（洗涤剂；洗衣粉） used to wash clothes, often cover the water of our rivers.Water canno
