That night, the friend could   39   sleep as he remembered the chicken-like eagle. The next morning, he headed back to the farm for another   40  . This time he carried the eagle to the   41   of a nearby mountain.
When he stood at the highest place of the mountain, he looked into its eyes and shouted, “Don’t you   42   ?

Many people of my generation(代，一代) say that there is no hope for the future because of the way that   21       people behave today.
Their first argument（论点） is that when we were young we used to look after the  22     people in our community and help them. They also say that young people today don’t   23      about anything or anyone. However, I think the reason why we looked after older people was that we had no   24     . People had to live with their   25     and grandparents because they had no money. Young people today earn more and have more   26      to live where they want.
Their second argument is that in our day we didn’t expect to be given jobs ---and that young people now don’t look for jobs, but just complain（抱怨） about   27    . On the other hand, things were easier in the past and it was always easy to get a job if you had friends and contacts（关系）. It is really   28      today.
In conclusion I think there is hope for the   29      . This generation, like generations before them, has new   30       as well as old problems. If they learn from our mistakes the world will be a better place in future.

The girls were being supermean to me because they'd heard I was considering doing some modeling. A close friend had suggested that I shouldn't let my scars limit me and that I might __29__ a good model.
But after that __30__ at school, I was sure I'd made a huge mistake. Upon arriving home, I covered the mirror with a blanket, fell on my bed and sobbed.
