The train stopped and the father and son got down and  36  into the crowd. The doors closed. On my cheek I could still  37  the child’s kiss -- a kiss that had caused  38  soul-searching.

For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.
My friend had mentioned that her father had a lot of children’s toys that he was looking to give away. She knew I had a three-year-old daughter so she thought of me first. I told her I would 36   it if I could get some nice things for my daughter, which I wouldn’t otherwise have been able
to  37 .
When I met her father, he began to explain that he was 38  once too and that he would hate to  39  things that could be very 40 . At first, he thought of taking everything to the Salvation Army but then he  41 to see if anyone he knew could use them first.
When he was  42 me around, I saw a bed, a slide(滑板)，a kitchen set and many other things that made me surprised. As my eyes were wide and beginning to tear up a bit, he told me not to feel guilty. He said I was  43 him by getting rid of them.
As I was looking around, I did feel guilty, but I tried to remain more grateful than guilty because he told me to. Every time I tried to  44 him for giving my daughter all these  45 things, he would thank me right back and was grateful that these toys would be put to good use.
So, sometimes when we are helped by others, the others that helped us are helped as a side –effect. In the  46 of charity , it makes sense to feel grateful, but guilt is just as normal, I know we could have lived without a slide, which is why I do feel guilty, but I am grateful all the same because my daughter  47 enjoys all these nice things!

During the Christmas break from college, a young man wanted to borrow his father’s car. He was going to a New Year’s Eve   21  to be held in Vermont. The father was   22  about the son hitting one of the roadblocks that people set up all over the place on New Year’s Eve. However, a(n)   23  reached was that the son would be allowed to use the car, but he would not drink at all.
So he drove to Vermont, got completely   24  , and attempted to drive home. On the way home he hit a roadblock. He was told to   25  the car and stand in a line of people that were being given the sobriety (not drunk)   26 . However, the policeman   27  him out. He was   【小题1】 standing off to the side while the others were   29  the police officer how well they could walk a   30  line, etc.
At 7:00 am the next morning, his father got up to answer the   31 . There were   32  policemen there. They asked him if he was the   33  of that red FIAT. He replied, “Yes, I am.” One of the policemen asked him if he was driving the car the evening before and he said that his son had been the driver.
When the young man   34  himself in front of the policemen, he knew he was in some sort of   35 . Upon questioning, he   36  that he was driving the car. But when asked if he had been   37 , he said, “NO!” When the policemen asked if they could see his car, he was unable to remember the   38 . He said that it was in the garage.
And when the four of them walked out to look at the car, instead of looking at the car he had driven the   39  before, they saw a   40  car parked there.

Do fight against painting pollution
Do you know what kind of things the young people are reading? More and more 21_  and teachers have noticed another kind of pollution, which comes from the printed papers 22   on streets.
These printed things  23 newspapers but have hardly anything to do with _24_. You can only find reading materials badly made up there—some are too strange for anyone to   25  ; others are frightening stories of something _26_. However, many of the young readers are getting interested in such 27  reading, which 28  them what they should pay for their breakfast and brings them nightmares and immoral ideas in  29 . Homework is left 30  and daily games lost.
These sellers stand about on streets selling their papers well. The writers, publishers and printers,  31  they are, we never know, are  32  their silent money.
The sheep-skinned wolf’s story seems to have been forgotten once again. Why not 33  this kind of thing? Yes, both teachers and parents have asked each other for more strict control of the young readers. 34  , the more you want to forbid it, the more they want to have a look at it.  35  you may even find several children, driven by their curious natures,  36  one patched paper, which has traveled from hand to hand.
It really does 37 to our society. It has already formed a sort of moral pollution. The  38   teachers and parents need more powerful support in their protection of the young generation. At the same time, the young   39    need more interesting books to help them  40  those ugly paper.
