, over in Pleasure, the motto was “As long as you like it, do it.” People grew up without      and     do anything they liked. Children played computer games day and night. At school, teachers didn’t _  whether students showed up or not. Workers might sit around the office      sipping coffee and doing nothing.      the lack of regulations, nobody worried about losing their jobs. It was      that mattered. No one had the      thought of moving forward, either for themselves or for the town. The computers they used were      models from Pressure.

They     the walls between them and built a road to connect the two. The towns’ people came to realize the truth—there is no space between Pressure and Pleasure if they don’t go to extremes.

On Sundays my father always wore that gray apron(围裙)—the one with the race cars all over it. The ritual (老规矩) began.       breakfast when Dad always announced, “Go ahead everyone. I’ll       the dishes!” For the next hour Dad did the dishes, singing ballads (歌谣) like “I Had a Hat When I Came in.” and “Who Put the Chow in Mrs. Marphy’s Chowder?”www.zxxk.com
I suppose it was        for a boy’s father to wear an apron—even one with race cars—        I never thought much of it until the day that Dad broke with tradition. It was the last Sunday in August. As we        home slowly from church together, my father seemed very       . “Tommy,” he said letting my name roll off his       . “There comes a time in every boy’s        when he must take on responsibilities. It’s time you        a greater role in the family. From now on, I want you to        the dishes on Sunday morning, so your mother and I can work the crossword puzzle (纵横字谜) together.”
“The dishes!?” I        in surprise.
“Anything wrong with taking over the dishes, son?” father said.
I started to say something about a man’s        or woman’s work, but I knew immediately that my protests (抗议) would be        .
I didn’t taste a bit of       that morning. Dad seemed joyful as he described an American game.[www.zxxk.com]
At the end of the meal, my father        , “Let’s go to read the paper, honey.” “Aren’t you doing the dishes?” my 51 asked surprisedly. Father smiled and said, “your oldest son has        to fill the position.”
“I want you to have this apron on, Tommy. It’ll keep your clothes from getting        .” And before I could go against it, he had put the thing on me. “Thanks, Son. Your mother and I        this.”
With that he disappeared into the Sunday paper. I looked        at the dishes. I could see my dad reaching for the dishes. He was always happy to help the family. My anger soon flew off and I began to sing.

Peter got out of bed and started       , but he could not find him any clothes.
“Where is my shirt?” he asked. His wife was       ill to tell him, and she could only cry, “Oh, my        stomach!”

“No, I can't. Go, go, go.” his wife shouted,“       you will find me dead       the morning.”
So Peter went out into the dark street. He had only gone a few meters      he heard his wife calling him again.
“I'm       again now, and I shall not want the doctor.” she said softly.

The doctor put his sleepy head out of the bedroom window and said, “Er? Who's there?”
“Oh, Doctor.”Peter said to him, “I've very       news for you. My wife       ill with a terrible stomachache (胃疼). I was on my way to bring you to her, but she called me back to say the trouble had suddenly       her. So you need not come. Go back to       now, and sleep well!”

A group of frogs was traveling through the woods and two of them fell into a pit(坑). All the other frogs gathered around it and watched as the two frogs tried to jump out.

Frank laughed as he tried to tear at the wrapping paper on his birthday present. He was so     ! Finally, he would have the coolest pair of name-brand basketball shoes.
All the guys on his team were wearing the name-brand shoes of a popular basketball   _, Chuck Hart. While Hart was   for his poor sportsmanship and infamous   , he was a great player. In fact, Frank wasn't thinking about Hart’s behavior; he had only expected to see Hart’s      on the side of the box. The first indication that something was      came as he tore away the last piece of paper. Not Hart’s. The new shoes were the name-brand of another player, Robert Ryann, who was      for his amazing work in the community.
Frank’s hands      ; his heart stopped. It wasn't that the Ryann shoes weren’t nice, but what would his friends think ?
They were the wrong shoes and Frank would be      by the other players. When he looked up into his dad’s eyes, however, Frank decided he     not tell him. “Thanks, Dad. I was really hoping for shoes,” Frank said as he pulled the shoes out of the box.
The next morning his dad drove him to school. When they      in front of his destination, Frank slowly opened the car door. Just then, his dad stopped him.
“Hey, Frank, wait a minute, look…” his dad said      ,“Frank, I know those aren’t the shoes you had hoped for, but I saw the names of the two guys and made a(n)     . The guy whose name is on those shoes,” he said, pointing down at Frank’s feet, “is someone I      . Do you know how often Ryann has found himself in     ?”
“No,” Frank said.
“Never. He’s never talked back to his coach or started a fight, and he’s a team player. You could have acted like a (n)      when you didn’t get the shoes you wanted, Frank ,      you were polite and made the best of it. You have such a good      , like the guy whose name is on these shoes. I’m hoping that someday, your name will be on the coolest pair of shoes I’ll ever see.”
When Frank looked down at his feet, he saw the shoes      . His dad had used his mind and heart to give the son a thoughtful      .

It was at a concert that I happened to find David. He was holding his head at a strange     as if he were stating down at something. Then the truth struck me. He was blind. The last thing he remembers    was his daughter being born. Then the world went    .
Bad luck is no stranger to this 44-year-old man. His mother died of cancer, and his weak father had to    11-year-old David to the care of the state.
Things seemed always to go from bad to    . Two years ago, his beloved guide dog pulled him out of the    of a truck. David was not hurt. The dog    .
But David does not feel sorry for himself. "These are just little obstacles (障碍) you have to    in your life," he said.
He has to make a daily two-hour trip to his working place -- the X-ray department of an _  room.
It was a hard job to   . Before he got it, David was determined to escape the workshop ran by the Lighthouse, an organization    to help blind people. He wanted a job of developing X-ray film, something   , not just he, must do in the dark, including people with    eyesight. The Lighthouse called many hospitals, with no result,    they offered to pay his first three months' salary.
David works alone in a dark room that    of chemicals. He cannot wear gloves.   , he could not feel. Since this is an emergency room, lives can be put    or out of danger. His directress says she trusts him 100 percent.
He makes $20,000 a year. But his motivation (动机) goes    money. "By working, I can actualize my own    . That's the most important!" he said.
What a shining example for us to   !
