Last year , my daughter was diagnosed with leukemia(白血病).

It is still hard to write that word.    is even harder to say it out loud, because it feels like that will make it more real. Although I wish I could either change the diagnosis 

deny it altogether, this is what we’re facing. Every time we think about what her tiny body is doing to her, it     (break) our heart a little bit more. This is my worst nightmare.

But my husband and I are saying many thanks to God that her disease is the  (much)

common form of all the childhood blood cancers, which comes with an 85~90% cure rate. We believe that she is in that 90%, but we know there’s still a long road ahead   us.

  (thank), she’s not in any pain, other than a little soreness from a recent procedure. And since she’s 4, she doesn’t quite understand     is happening at all. She is in good spirits,      helps us cope more than we realized it would. It also helps that she is in such     great hospital, specifically for children. They have done a great job, saving my daughter’s life and     (make) us go through the hard time as well.

Dear Mary,

We’ve been pen friend for a year now. It’s a fun, isn’t it? This year I’m starting my college

life.I’m real excited. Everything will be different with things in high school. I’ll have more

classes, and each of the classes are going to be in a different classroom. In the dormitory I will have a locker which I can keep my textbooks, notebooks, coats and other things. This is my favorite thing about going college. Two students will have to share a locker. I will like my friend Kim to be my locker partner. We’re thinking of put our favorite pictures on the locker door. Please to send me a new picture of yourself! OK?

Well, write soon. Bye.

Best wishes.

Cindy

阅读下面短文，根据所读内容在表格中的空白处填入恰当的单词。注意：每个空格只填一个单词，并请将答案写在答题纸上。
The family sphere (范围) used to be defined by its isolation from the public realm. There was the public male realm (领域) of "rational accomplishment" and cruel competition, and the private female and child-rearing sphere of home, intuition (直觉) and emotion. The private realm was supposed to be isolated from the realities of adult life. For both better and worse, television and other electronic media tend to break down the difference between those two worlds. The membrane around the family sphere is much more permeable (可渗透的). TV takes public events and transforms them into dramas that are played out in the privacy of our living rooms, kitchens and bedrooms.
Parents used to be the channel through which children learned about the outside world. They could decide what to tell their children and when to tell it to them. Since children learn to read in stages, books provide a kind of natural screening process, where adults can decide what to tell and not tell children of different reading abilities. Television destroyed the system that separated adult from child knowledge and separated information into year-by-year slices for children of different ages. Instead, it presents the same information directly to children of all ages, without going through adult filters.
So television presents a real challenge to adults. While a parent can read a newspaper without sharing it with children in the same room, television is accessible to everyone in that space. And unlike books, television doesn’t allow us to flip (翻转) through it and see what’s coming up. We may think we’re giving our children a lesson in science by having them watch the Challenger take off, and then suddenly they learn about death, disaster and adult mistakes.
Books allow adults to discuss privately what to tell or not tell children. This also allows parents to keep adult material secret from children and keep their secret keeping secret. Take that same material and put it on The Today Show and you have 800,000 children hearing the very things the adults are trying to keep from them. "Television takes our kids across the globe before parents give them permission to cross the street." 
More importantly, children gradually learn that adults are worried and anxious about being parents. Actually, television has also places families under a lot of stress.
