It Seemed Like a Good Idea at the Time
I really only meant it as a joke.  I wasn't trying to steal anything honestly.
My friend Matthew started bringing his new cell phone to class last week. He was walking around bragging (吹嘘) about it to everyone. He was saying, "My cell phone can download (下载) the newest 41 off the internet."Then he 42everyone by downloading a game and starting to play it. The pictures and sound were really 43 .
44 class, he would use his cell phone to watch TV. The rest of us didn't have a phone like 45 , so we had to crowd around him. I was just trying to see the screen, 46 there were so many other kids that I could not see it clearly. I was getting really jealous (嫉妒).
But then yesterday, he forgot his cell phone at the end of class. He left it right on his desk. 47 noticed it was there except me. I decided to teach him a lesson. I took his phone quietly off the desk, and put it in my own bag. My 48 was to give it back to him the next day. I 49 wanted to see his reaction (反应). Maybe he would stop being such a show-off.
But this morning he rushed into class, screaming and yelling (吼叫). He was very 50 and almost mad. He started accusing (指责) different people of 51 his phone, but I had it in my 52 the whole time. He even started fighting with another classmate 53 Matthew was sure that person had taken it. The teacher sent them to the headmaster's office. They 54 got in a lot of trouble. Now I don't know what to 55 ! If I tell him that I took the cell phone, he'll think I stole it. If I don't tell him, then I really did steal it. How did I get into such a trouble?

When our children were younger, it was popular for city people to buy a small farm in the country and       a few animals there.

One of our new neighbors        ducks. They seemed very lovely; however, they were       to run around in their yard and the neighbors’ yards—      ours. Our vegetables were their favorite food. Often we would “shoo” the ducks home and want to know_      there wasn’t a fence to keep them.

One day, I asked her if she      her ducks were bringing trouble to my garden. She told me that they were her   _   and he was away traveling. My attitude （态度） to her was bad. We realized that our neighbors were not planning to build a        , so our son built one .The ducks now stayed in their own yard. I didn’t see my neighbor again       months later.

A women’s church group asked me to       at their mother and daughter party. The topic was “Love”. Much to my       ，the first woman I saw when I walked into the church was my neighbor. I knew I could not speak about love to them when I hadn’t been     __ my neighbor. So I walk        to her and said sorry for my attitude. She forgave（原谅）me and then we talked a lot     _ .

I was now five, and still I showed no much interest in things except with my toes（脚趾）. I could not look after myself,   35  my father took care of me. I used to lie on my back all the time in the kitchen. I was   36 , imprisoned（监禁） in a world of my own, unable to communicate with others.
Then, suddenly, it happened on the afternoon of a cold December day. All the family were gathered round the big kitchen fire. Mona and Paddy were drawing funny animals, using a bright piece of yellow chalk. It was the chalk that   37  me so much. I had never seen anything like it before.
Suddenly, I wanted to do what my sister was doing. Then without thinking or knowing exactly what I was doing, I   38  out and took the chalk out of my sister’s hand, with my left foot.

Next moment I stopped, not knowing what to do with the chalk next, hardly knowing how it   40  there. Then I looked up and realized that everyone was looking at me   41 . My mother came in.
