My Stay in New York

After graduation from university, I had been unable to secure a permanent job in my small town. So I decided to leave

home for New York, (25)______I might have a better chance to find a good job. (26) ______ (earn) some money to pay the

daily

expenses,

I

started

work

in

a

local

café

as

a

waiter.

I

believe

that

(27)

______

______

______

I

was

offered

a

good

position, I would resign at once.

Over time, the high cost of living became a little burden on my already (28) ______ (exhaust) shoulder. On the other hand,

my search for a respectable job had not met with much success. As I had studied literature at university, I found it quite difficult

to secure a suitable job in big companies. Mother had just said that (29) ______ I want to have a better career advancement, I

had to find work in the city. Perhaps (30) ______my mother had told me was deeply rooted in my mind. I just did as she had

expected.

Soon I had lived in the city for over six months but I still did not like it. Apparently, I had difficulty (31) ______ (adapt)

myself to life in the city, let alone finding a job to my delight. After nine months of frustration, I eventually decided to go back

to my small town. Not until I returned (32) ______I realize that a quiet town life was the best for me.

The giant

vending machine

(

自动售货机

) is a new village shop

Villagers have long been used to facing a drive when they run out of basic supplies. However, help is now nearer at

hand in form of the country

’

s first automatic push-button shop. Now residents in the Derbyshire Village of Clifton can buy

groceries around the clock after the huge vending was installed outside a pub in the village this week.

Peter

Fox,

who

is

(33)______electrical

engineer,

spent

two

and

a

half

years

working

on

the

project.

The

machine

(34)______ (equip) with securing cameras and alarms and looks like a mini shop with a brick front, a grey roof and a display

window.

Mr.

Fox

said

he

hoped

his

invention,

(35)______

is

set

to

be

installed

in

other

villages

in

the

area

over

the

coming

months, will mark a return to convenience shopping for rural communities.

He said:

“

I had this idea a few years ago but I couldn

’

t find a manufacture who could deliver what I wanted, so I did it

by

(36)______.

The

result

is

what

amounts

to

huge

outdoor

vending

machine.

Yet

I

think

the

term

“

automatic

shop

”

is

far

(37)______ (appropriate)

In recent years, the commercial pressure from supermarket chains (38)______ force village shops across the country to

close. In 2010, it was estimated that about 400 village shops closed, (39)______ (urge) the local government to give financial

support to struggling shops or set-up new communities stores.

Hundreds of communities have since stepped in and opened up their won volunteer-run shops, but Mr. Fox hopes his new

invention will offer a solution (40)______these villages without a local shop.

A boy plays away from home and fights with others. He

’

s defeated, gets hurt and suffers shame. If he is strong-willed, he

would

clench

(

咬紧

) his teeth, making a firm fist from (25) ______ (weep) in front of others. But as soon as he returns home he

would burst out crying at the first sight of his close relatives. He would be all tears pouring out his sufferings.

The same is true for a strong-willed grown-up. No matter what harm he suffers he would do his best (26) ______ (conceal)

his feelings, trying not to let others know how he feels. He would swallow his bitter tears and show a smiling face at others (27)

______ ______ he didn

’

t care a bit. But however strong-willed he is, most probably he would cry as soon as he meets his close

relative who loves him and to (28) ______ he can pour out his heart unreservedly.

Not only would he weep but he

It

’

s much better to have someone crying in your face than be met exclusively by (32) ______ smiling face. Anyone can

smile at you, but very few will weep in your face, because the latter is much harder for one to do than the former.

Some

of

young

soldiers

who

had

recently

joined

the

army

were

being

trained

in

modern

ways

of

fighting.

One

of

the

lessons they should take was (33) ______ an unarmed man could trick an armed enemy, take his weapon away and have him

(34) ______ (arrest). First one of their two instructors took a knife away from the other, using only his bare hands, and then he

took a gun away from him in the same way.

After the lesson, and before they went on to train the young soldiers to do these things themselves,

the two instructors

asked them a number of questions to see how well they had understood what (35) ______ (show). One of the questions was this,

“

Well, you now know (36) ______ an unarmed man can do against a man with a gun. Imagine that you (37) ______ (guard) a

bridge at eight one night, and that you have a gun. Suddenly you see an unarmed enemy soldier (38) ______ (come) towards

you, and what will you do?

”

The

young

soldier

who

(39)

this

question

carefully

for

a

few

seconds

(40)

he

answered, and then said,

“Well

after what I have just seen, I think that the first thing I would do would be to get rid of my gun

as quickly as I could so that the unarmed enemy soldier couldn

’

t take it from me and kill me with it!

I have to say that my mom is stricter than most parents, and

I’

m the kind of kid who has a lot of my own thoughts.

I used to think that she

’

s just a picky person that likes to make things more difficult for me, so we once sat down and

talked face to face trying to clarify every misunderstanding we have

(25)__________ us. I (26)__________ (convince) and

decided to change my attitude towards her. My mom told me that as we grow, she

’

s also growing, too. Every day, she learns

something new about being a mom, and her knowledge of becoming a good mom gradually grows.

(27)__________ time passes by, I began to realize that most of her rules, or should I say

“

point of view

”

, are really to

protect

us.

We

teenagers

often

think

that

parents

are

conservative

(

保守的

),

and

they

know

nothing

about

us,

but

honestly,

we

’

re actually still too young (28)__________ (know) what

’

s really best for us.

Parents can be wrong sometimes because nobody

’

s perfect, and they may be just like my mom who is still on her way to

(29)__________

(be)

a

perfect

parent!

So,

to

those

who

often

argue

with

their

parents

like

me:

next

time,

when

you

really

disagree with (30)__________ your parents say, stop and tell yourself that your parents would never try to do (31)__________

to harm you because they love you before you yell at them.

Finally, I really want my mom to know how sorry I am for always yelling at her breaking her heart. I really do want to

change because I love her just as much as she loves me.
