Although that was ___ , I didn’t understand why it mattered. After all, not everyone is given the opportunity to ____ an ID in this country.
Then, we asked to speak with a manager, who explained that there was no way to return the item without a receipt and then went on to say the woman could not ______ she purchased the item.
“If I , a young white female, were to enter the store and request you to make an exchange without a receipt, I would not be _____ the privilege--- as I have proof from the past.” I said. He must have realized at that moment what he had done, because he _____ to exchange the item.

My job was to make classroom observations and encourage a training program that would enable students to feel good about themselves and take charge of their lives. Donna was one of the volunteer teachers who participated in this       .
One day, I entered Donna’s classroom, took a seat in the back of the room and       . All the students were working        a task. The student next to me was filling her page with “I Can’ts.” “I can’t kick the soccer ball.” “I can’t get Debbie to like me.” Her page was half full and she showed no        of stopping. I walked down the row and found        was writing sentences, describing things they couldn’t do.
By this time the activity aroused my       , so I decided to check with the teacher to see what was going on        I noticed she too was busy writing. “I can’t get John’s mother to come for a parents’ meeting.” I felt it best not to       .
After another ten minutes, the students were        to fold the papers in half and bring them to the front. They placed their “I Can’t” statements into an empty shoebox. Then Donna      hers. She put the lid on the box, tucked it under her arm and headed out the door. Students followed the teacher. I followed the students. Halfway down the hallway Donna got a shovel from the tool house, and then marched the students to the farthest corner of the playground. There they began to       . The box of “I Can’ts” was placed at the        of the hole and then quickly covered with dirt. At this point Donna announced, “Boys and girls, please join hands and        your heads.” They quickly formed a circle around the grave.
Donna delivered the eulogy (悼词). “Friends, we gathered here today to        the memory of ‘I Can’t.’ He is        by his brothers and sisters ‘I Can’ and ‘I Will’. May ‘I Can’t’ rest in       . Amen!”
She turned the students        and marched them back into the classroom. They celebrated the        of “I Can’t”. Donna cut a large tombstone from paper. She wrote the words “I Can’t” at the top and the date at the bottom, then hung it in the classroom. On those rare occasions when a student        and said, “I Can’t,” Donna        pointed to the paper tombstone. The student then remembered that “I Can’t” was dead and chose other statement.

When it comes to friends, people always know this old saying——A friend in need is a friend indeed. The best friend a man has in the world may    him and become his enemy. His son or daughter that he has       with loving care may prove ungrateful. Those who are nearest and dearest to us, those whom we trust with our happiness and our good reputation, may         our faith. A man may        the money he has. It flies away from him, perhaps when he needs it most. A man’s reputation may be sacrificed in a moment of ill-considered action. The people who are ready to fall on their knees to do us        when success is with us may be the first to throw the stone of hatred when        settles its cloud upon our heads. The one        unselfish friend that man can have in this selfish world, the one that never        him, the one that never proves         or distrusted, is his dog.
A man’s dog stands by him in richness and in        , in health and in sickness. He will sleep on the cold ground, where the cold wind blow and the snow drives fiercely, if only he may be near his        side. He will kiss the hand that has no food to         ; he will lick the wounds and sores that come from encounter with the roughness of the world. He will guard the sleep of his master        he were a prince. When all other friends desert, he        . When wealth and reputation fall to pieces, he is as constant in his love as the sun in its journeys through the heavens.
If fortune drives the master forth, a deserted person in the world, friendless and homeless, the faithful dog asks no higher privilege than that of         him, to guard him against danger, to fight against his         . And when the last         of all comes, and death takes the master in its embrace, and his body is         in the cold ground, no matter if all other friends         their ways, there by the grave will the          dog be found, his head between his paws, his eyes sad but open in alert watchfulness, faithful and true even in death.

My family and I used to live in Belgium, and, to me, life was great. Most of my relatives and friends lived there, so there was never a      of aunts to spoil me or children to play with me.
My father is a journalist,       there wasn't much work for him in Belgium at that time. When I was eight, he        he'd found a good job in London and that we were going to move there.  I was      - I didn't realize I was leaving my friends behind and throwing myself into a different world. The excitement soon      after we moved there.
       our arrival in London, I had to start a new school and learn a  new      . I didn't know things in fashion, either. For the       six months I had extra lessons to  learn English. This       with cards and progressed towards books. I'm a      learner ,so I soon caught up. It was fitting in with other       in my school that took a bit more work.
For the first two years or so I was an outsider, no matter how much I tried to      . This made me      and sensitive - a perfect target for bullies. Thankfully, some of my classmates began to     me, and they became a great help as they helped me to      the things that made me a "foreigner".  By the time I        primary school,  most people couldn't believe I had moved to England only four years before. I was        able to fit in, grasp the language and adapt to the culture.
Trying to fit in is my      to anyone who has just moved from the homeland. or is planning to. "Fitting in" doesn't mean completely       yourself to be someone else ,but it does mean trying to  learn the         culture and language, ,which will make your life easier.

A man and his girlfriend got married. Everyone could tell that the love they had for each other was true.
A few months later, the wife came to the husband with a proposal, “I read in a magazine about how we can   our marriage. Each of us will write a list of the things that we find a bit   with the other. Then, we can talk about how we can   them together and make our lives happier together.”
The husband   . So each of them went to a(n)   room and thought about the things that annoyed them about the other for the rest of the day.

I don’t want you to   anything for me.”
The wife, touched by his honesty by his depth of his love for her and his   of her, turned her head and wept.
In life, there are enough times when we are disappointed, depressed and annoyed. We don’t really have to go     for them. We have a wonderful world that is full of beauty, light and promise.
