It is likely that the more you     ,the more you are let down.

When I entered Berkeley, I hoped to earn a scholarship. Having been a Straight-A student, I believed I could       tough subjects and really learn something. One such course was World Literature given by Professor Jayne. I was extremely interested in the ideas he       in class.
When I took the first exam, I was       to find a 77, C-plus, on my test paper,          English was my best subject. I went to Professor Jayne, who listened to my arguments but remained      . I decided to try harder, although I didn’t know what that       because school had always been easy for me. I read the books more carefully, but got another 77. Again, I          with Professor Jayne. Again, he listened patiently but wouldn’t change his      . One more test before the final exam. One more       to improve my grade. So I redoubled my efforts and, for the first time,       the meaning of the word “thorough”. But my       did no good and everything       as before.
The last hurdle(障碍) was the final. No matter what       I got, it wouldn’t cancel three C-pluses. I might as well kiss the       goodbye. I stopped working hard. I felt I knew the course material as well as I ever would. The night before the final, I even       myself to a movie. The next day I decided for once I’d have       with a test. A week later, I was surprised to find I got an A. I hurried into professor Jayne’s office. He       to be expecting me. “If I gave you the As you       , you wouldn’t continue to work as hard.” I stared at him,        that his analysis and strategy(策略) were correct. I had worked my head       , as I had never done before. I was speechless when my course grade arrived: A-plus. It was the only A-plus given. The next year I received my scholarship. I’ve always remembered Professor Jayne’s lesson: you alone must set your own standard of excellence.

The world would be a better place if we all had children’s eyes. This is not because children’s eyes are too sharp to allow any blot(污点,瑕疵)to pass without being     , but because adults have too many conflicting concerns to keep their eyes open to all wrongdoing.
Not long before, an examination, intended to     some police officers to higher positions, was held in Gansu province. Someone     with a good idea that 18 primary pupils could be invited to act as invigilators (监考人). At that age, students would do as they are told and act fearlessly.      , they caught 25 officers cheating on the spot, which has caused a stir (轰动,搅动) and      the question of whether adult invigilators would      their duties as well.
The implication of this event goes      its impact on the work style of local police officers and the examinations. Most people said what these children have done points to the sad fact of      being less trustworthy. If adults acted as invigilators, they would quite      turn a blind eye to cheating.
We Chinese have been holding the      that human nature was good at birth: as      of blot as a sheet of blank paper, which can be      with content (good or bad) in the process of growing up. Everything should be done on the basis of certain principles(原则).      , nowadays the repeated reports of cheating in examinations, selling ranks and      and embezzling (挪用) public funds paint a      picture of common social morals.    Adults have become too concerned with their own personal gains to      basic sense of principles. When no one      any principle and the only concern is personal interest, everyone will      , not only those who first break the rules.
Besides, cheats are unfair to honest examinees, and when the success of cheats      more people to cheat, the consequences will be disastrous.
In a word, we adults need to have our eyes as      as children’s on matters of principle.

People in the United States honor their parents with two special days:Mother‘s Day,on the second Sunday in May,and Father’s Day,on the third Sunday in June.These days are set aside to show love and respect for parents.They raise their children and educate them to be responsible citizens.They give love and care.These two days offer an opportunity to think about the changing roles of mothers and fathers.More mothers now work outside the home.More fathers must help with child care.
These two special days are celebrated in many different ways. On Mother’s Day people wear carnations(康乃馨).A red one symbolizes a living mother.  A white one shows that the mother is dead. Many people attend religious services to honor parents. It is also a day when people whose parents are dead visit the cemetery. On these days families get together at home,as well as in restaurants. They often have outdoor barbecues for Father’s Day. These are days of fun and good feelings and memories.
Another tradition is to give cards and gifts. Children make them in school. Many people make their own presents.These are valued more than the ones bought in stores. It is not the value of the gift that is important,but it is “the thought that counts.”Greeting card stores,florists,candy makers,bakeries,telephone companies,and other stores do a lot of business during these holidays.
