Last summer my son, Eric, left for university in another country. Our once lively house became quiet and _____. I missed him so much that I started sending him messages on the phone, mainly to say _____ or to give him a word of warning.
One of my messages says, “So you told me you _____ your credit card(信用卡). If you don’t try hard to mend your careless ways, one day you’ll _____ and find your brain missing.”
I did get Eric's messages, but most of them were about _____. They were no different from the notes he used to leave _____ the white board when he was at home.
“I bought a new pair of shoes. They cost me $90. Please help!”
“Money is running short _____ I’ve bought some books for my research paper. Help me please!”
_____, however, Eric begins to send me all kinds of articles: some funny, some touching and some worth _____. He says they will help me understand young men better and keep up with the times.
I read the articles slowly, like a ______ student, with mixed feelings as well—my kid, who followed me around not long ago, has now become my ______.
So I write back. “I’ve read all those articles. I’ll take ______ as a loving son’s expectations towards his mother. He must be thinking that his mother is still ______ enough to accept new things. That makes me feel proud. What we parents lack(缺乏) most is the ability to learn and ______, in both body and mind. Thank you, my son.”
In this way we share ideas and ______ each other, with a gentle and beautiful language we seldom use. Every time I read those messages, I feel my heart filled with warmth.

Keep Calm and Carry On
Stuart Manley and his wife, Mary, run a second-hand bookshop called Barter Books in Alnwick, Northumberland. In2000, they bought a box of old books. When Stuart got them back to the shop, he discovered a poster at the bottom of the box. The poster read "Keep Calm and Carry On". Neither Stuart nor Mary knew anything about the history of the poster, but they liked it so much that they decided to hang the poster in their bookshop.
At the start of World War Ⅱ, the British government designed three posters and the Keep Calm poster was one of them. Two of the three posters were released (展示) in public in order to encourage the British people. Although nearly 2.5 million copies of the Keep Calm poster had been printed, the British government decided not to release them. In 1940, most of the copies were recycled into other paper products. Only a few were left.
The poster started its second life when Manley's poster began attracting the attention of customers in his shop. He printed copies of the poster to sell. Soon other companies began to sell products with the slogan (标语). It appeared on everything from mugs to shopping bags.
The reasons for the popularity of this rediscovered poster aren't hard to understand. Shortly after the poster made its appearance in 2000, a worldwide economic (经济的) downturn began. People were in need of something to raise their spirits. The saying "Keep Calm and Carry On" seems to be the perfect slogan to bring courage and hope to people. Besides the encouraging message, the simple design of the poster helped lead to its popularity.
Today the now-famous wartime slogan has been rewritten in many fun ways. Some people have created phrases like "Keep Calm and Dance On", "Keep Calm and Call Mom" or "Keep Calm and Eat a Cupcake". The slogan has become part of popular culture. The explanations of the slogan are often lighthearted, but it is important to remember its purpose when it was first designed.
1.Where did Stuart discover the poster?
_____________________
2.Did Stuart know anything about the history of the poster when it was discovered?
_____________________
3.When was the poster first designed?
_____________________
4.Why did the poster become popular?
_____________________
5.Please rewrite the Keep Calm slogan to encourage your classmates before an important exam.
