Women make better drivers than men for many reasons．Why is that， do you suppose?  Wouldn’t you think that competing at who has better driving abilities is pointless?  If you ask me,  I’d like to say，men know that women are better drivers but do not have the courage to admit the truth—women are queens of the road．

Unlike men，women stop for directions when they have no idea as to where they are going．Women don’t drive around for hours pointlessly wasting a tank of gas only to find ourselves heading in the wrong direction．Have you ever in a car with a man who is lost?  He tells you to shut up when you begin to open your mouth．And every five minutes or so he takes a turn going forty-five miles per hour only to find out he’s made another wrong turn．

Speeding is what men do best on the road．Traffic is not a race．There is a reason why men get more speeding tickets than women．Not because we trick to get out of tickets but only because we don’t get pulled over as frequently．We don’t speed．We have more intelligence than senselessly to put our own lives as well as the lives of others in danger．

    My largest issue with male drivers is how a majority of them drive with one hand on the wheel and the other hand doing only God knows what．The seat is backed as far as possible,  and they’re totally lost into loud music beyond a necessary level. You don’t ever see women driving like that．

I feel that the above evidence more than proves my points that women are not only better drivers but also safer drivers than men．We women rule the road．Oh，and men，if you want to continue criticizing women for being bad drivers，bring it on．We know you lack confidence，or else you wouldn’t be wasting your valuable time making jokes about the ones you may choose to spend the rest of your days with．

(① =paragraph 1； ②=paragraph 2；③=paragraph 3；④=paragraph 4；⑤=paragraph 5)

I was studying theater at Southern Methodist University in Dallas and feeling anxious and uncertain about my future. Will I be able to support myself? I __1__. That summer, I decided to see if I could __2__ it on my own.

       Two girlfriends and I got into a car and __3__ to Aspen, Colo, where I found a job as a servant at a hotel. I don’t remember what I __4__, but the money was so little that I lived on noodles, brown rice and hamburgers.

       I was at the hotel by six o’clock every morning to __5__ with breakfast. When breakfast was finished, I cleaned the room __6__ it was served and then the conference rooms and restrooms. I had never been in a men’s room before, and I was always terrified of someone walking in while I was on my knees ____7___ the floors and toilets.

       I came from an upper-middle-class background, and my parents’ friends always treated me __8__. But now that I was a servant, I found that many of the guests of the same background were not so nice. That was a __9__.Guests were supposed to(应该/理应) serve themselves at the breakfast; it was my __10__ to walk around the room and refill coffee and juice. But some people wanted me to do __11__ for them. I remember one man who kept __12__ me to get his food and demanding things we did not __13__. He was also very critical(吹毛求疵). Even though I wanted to say, “Go and get it yourself.” I knew it was my job to be __14__ and do in a nice way whatever I was told. So I’d take a deep __15__ and somehow get what he wanted.

       Still, I’ve never forgotten how it felt to be spoken to so __16__. Today, whenever I am in a cab or a restaurant, I always try to be as __17__as possible. Service-industry jobs are not easy, and they’re even __18__ when people treat you like dirt.

       My first job also helped me gain confidence. After that summer I realized that what I had been afraid of in acting was failure. I now knew that it would be worse if I failed at it without__19__ trying. I decided to give it all my energy. If I __20__, at least I would always know that I had done my best.

If you ask me, I’d like to say, men know that women are better drivers but do not have the courage to admit the truth — women are queens of the road.

Unlike men, women stop for directions when they have no idea as to where they are going. We don’t drive around for hours pointlessly wasting a tank of gas only to find ourselves heading in the wrong direction. Have you ever be in a car with a man who is lost? He tells you to shut up when you begin to open your mouth. And every five minutes or so he takes a turn going forty-five miles per hour only to find out he’s made another wrong turn.

Speeding is what men do best on the road. Traffic is not a race. There is a reason why men get more speeding tickets than women.

Oh, and men, if you want to continue criticizing (批评) women for being bad drivers, bring it on. We know you lack confidence, or else you wouldn’t be wasting your valuable time making jokes about the ones you may choose to spend the rest of your days with.

Just then his friend Ben came 3 He laughed when he saw Tom painting. “What’s the 4, Tom? Does your aunt want you to work on such a nice day?”

Tom did not 5 painting. “Work? Oh, no, Ben. You see, painting is an 6 .First you must choose the right day, then you must get the best paint and brush. But most important of all, you must have the right 7. Aunt Polly says that there isn’t a boy in town 8 can paint this fence like me!”

Ben’s eyes opened wider. “Really, Tom? Let me try a 9.”

“Oh that isn’t possible ,” said Tom. “My Aunt Polly is very sure of the 10 she wants her fence painted．Remember, she chose me.”

“Come on, Tom, I’ll give you half my apple if you let me paint,” Ben 11 “Your aunt will never know the 12!”

“Oh, you’re wrong about that, Ben,” answered Tom. “She has very good  13. And think how I would feel 14  all,” she asked me to paint her fence.

“You may have my whole apple,” Ben said．“Give me the paint brush now.”

“Well, if you really think you can do it—here, 15 the brush but be very careful the way you paint.” Tom took a 16 into the red apple.

Half an hour later, when his friend had painted four 17 of the fence, Tom said, “You’re doing it quite well, Ben, but of course you need to do much more 18 you can really call yourself a painter.”

As each hour passed, Tom’s painting became more complete.  Each friend who happened to walk past took his 19 at painting a few boards — all for a price, of course. “You have to make them think it’s 20 wonderful,” thought Tom. “They’d never want to do it without paying for it.”
