The problem with television

　　Now I can't watch much television, but a few years ago

1．________

I was used to watch it every night. I was often

2．________

a little tired after a day's work and watch TV

3．________

demands very little effort. Unfortunate, there are

4．________

too many people among my family. Some wanted

5．________

to see the programme while others preferred

6．________

another. I am happy with any programme but

7．________

the others spent a lot time arguing and there

8．________

was no way of settling the matter except by

9．________

selling the set. Now someone at home reads instead.

10．________

Dear Mr Yang,

　　It is with greater pleasure that I write to congratulate

1．________

you with the 30th anniversary(纪念)of your English teaching.

2．________

In early 1960s, you came back home from the United States.

3．________

And then you have devoted you to the English teaching of the

4．________

Chinese middle schools. In the past of 30 years, you have

5．________

made great achievements(成绩) in the English teaching research

6．________

and the improvement of English teachers' methods. Meanwhile

7．________

you have written many advancing theses(论文). You love your

8．________

students and you gained their respect, too. Now you and your

9．________

theses well known both inside and outside our school.

10．________

Hearty congratulation and all the best wishes to you.

　　Mr Grey was a biology professor, and he had

a big collection of extreme rare bones that he

1．________

was very proud. One year he managed to get a better

2．________

job at another university. Because he was very busy,

3．________

his wife managed all their things to be taking in a truck

4．________

to their new home.

　　Three men started taking the things out the house

5．________

and placed it in the truck. One man brought out a

6．________

wooden box. He was just being about to throw it into

7．________

the truck then Mrs Grey ran out and said, “Please

8．________

treat that box very gentle! That one has all of my

9．________

husband's bones in it.” Then man was surprised

10．________

that he nearly dropped it on his feet.

Last week I went to a movie, which was very moved.

1．________

It was a movie about a mother and her sons. When the

2．________

child was a baby, the mother was very poor that she had

3．________

to send him to a rich family with no child. He received

4．________

good education and 20 years late became a doctor. One day in his

5．________

hospital, he had a patient, an old lady. He did take care of her

6．________

as much as needed, for she could hardly afford for the medical care.

7．________

A day, the lady died quietly of a serious illness and on her

8．________

bed the doctor found a letter, in it he discovered the truth

9．________

and felt the love of a great mother. He had wanted to call her mother,

10．________

but it was too late.
