moon­shaped eyes made me burst into tears.  I explained to her the __24__I had of going to school. “Learning English is not __25__，” my mother said. She cheerfully __26__the two of us work together to learn the language at home. The__27__and determination my mother had were admirable because English was as __28__ to her as it was to me.

That afternoon，I saw my mother in a different light as she __29__me by the school

fence. She was the shortest of all the mothers there，  30   , her face with her welcoming smile and big，black eyes was the most __31__. The afternoon sun shone__32__on her long，black hair creating an atmosphere that made her different from others.

Dick lived in England. One day in January he said to his wife, "I'm going to fly to New York next week because I've got some work there." "Where are you going to stay there?" his wife asked. "I don't know yet." Dick answered. "Please send me your address from there in a telegram (电报)," his wife said. "All right," Dick answered.

He flew to New York on January 31st and found a nice hotel in the center of the city. He put his things in his room and then he sent his wife a telegram. He put the address of his hotel in it.In the evening he didn't have any work, so he went to a cinema. He came out at nine o'clock and said, "Now I'm going back to my hotel and have a nice dinner."He found a taxi (出租车) and the driver said, "Where do you want to go?" But Dick didn't remember the name and address of his hotel.

"Which hotel are my things in?" he said, "And what am I going to do tonight?" But the driver of the taxi did not know. So Dick got out and went into a post office. There he sent his wife another telegram, and in it he wrote, "Please send me my address at this post office."

Not too long ago, a Chicago brewery (酿造厂) introduced a new beer that was supposed to be the least fattening（making people fat） on the market. It was lighter, so they called it LITE. Only two months after the new beer had been on sale, however, strange new ads appeared in the Chicago newspapers. They read 'LITE Tastes Soapy'. The public, of course, was confused. Who wanted a beer that tasted like soap（肥皂）, even if it was non-fattening?   

The new ads weren't talking about LITE beer, however. They were for a product of the LITE Soap Company. The president of the LITE Soap Company, Mrs Ruth Ascott, was very upset with the brewery for taking the name of her high-powered detergent (洗涤剂) and using it as the name of a new beer. LITE Soap had had the same name for 53 years. She wrote to the brewery, insisting that they should not use the word LITE in their beer ads. The brewery replied that they could—and would—because beer and soap were so different. They planned to ignore the 'LITE Tastes Soapy' ads, since the public knew which LITE was which.

Mrs Ascott then wanted to plan a new campaign. The ads would read 'LITE Is Wonderful for Washing Clothes'.
