“I’m really thankful to our government, for it provides us with such a good training program. The training greatly helps us live well. I will certainly study hard and learn the skills. Then I can 41] my family difficulties and do good to other people.” a learner on the job training program said, feeling 42:

The learner’s grandfather is nearly 80 years old, and his mother is 43] in bed. So his father, who is a father, is the main 44] of the family. The family is poor. The learner graduated from high school and did not 45] the college entrance exam. The job training program helps him learn the skills that he’ll 46] in the workplace.

The story reminds me of another 47: It goes like this: Once upon a time, there was a man who liked fishing very much, and was 48] to catch lots of fish every day. The man was a kind-hearted person, so he always 49] his fish with his neighbors who did not know how to fish. One day, he thought that it would be 50] if he taught them how to fish. So he 51] his neighbors tighter and showed how to fish. Everybody was very happy that they could 52] the fish they themselves caught.

At present, there are still a lot of poor people throughout the world. But it’s not good if we give only 53] to them. 54], we should give them a chance to learn new skills. Therefore, a technical training is very important to people in need, and they will learn the ability to 55] money. People can learn a lot of useful things in the training program and what learn can help them on the way to find jobs.

One day I was watching a movie at home . Tears 　31 from my eyes as I saw a touching scene. My three-year-old son came to me and asked me 　32 I was crying for. I kept silent as I couldn’t explain 　33 him it was just an emotional thing. To my 34 , he touched my face with his little hand and said, “Dear Mom, stop crying! You see, everything will be fine. You are my good 　35　 .So just get up and let’s get ready for school.” On hearing him say this to me, I couldn’t help laughing. It was so 　36 for a child to say so. Later I realized that he had repeated(重复) almost all 37 I had told him while he was crying one morning.

　　 The first time a child begins to speak, he tries to 　38 what his parents have been telling

him for a long time. Usually parents start with the words “Mama” , “Papa” and so on. But as the child 　39 learning and possibly starts speaking on his own without being taught, we as parents always forget he’s still being tutored (教导)by us. The only difference is that we’re now doing it in a more active way than before. We 　40 use words which we don’t want our child to say, and when he says those words , we 　41 where he has learned them. Even then, some of us don’t realize the child has learned the words from us only. Instead we start to put the blame(指责)on his friends , or 　42 who has talked to him when we’re not present.

　　 So if you want your child to have perfect behavior, you’ll have to 43 a good example to him. And if you can’t do that, you have no 　44 to expect your child to have such a thing. After all, the parents’ words and behavior have a great 　45 over their child.

When we are unfamiliar with something, we may feel nervous and fearful. The help of others is a good 　35 to help us pull through.

　 I write for a big newspaper, and I wanted to 36 a story about parachute jumping（跳伞）. To make it a realistic as well as exciting story, I decided that I had to make a jump myself 　37 . Unluckily, I’m not good at any sport, let alone（更不用说）parachute jumping.

　 My friend Mr. Smith was willing to give me a 　38 . He took me to a ground school. The first day’s 　39 included several hours of instruction but not my first drop from an airplane. For this, I had to wait until the following morning.

　 The next morning, I was taken to the airfield. There, a heavy parachute was put on my back. Then I was asked to make my way to a small plane which had just stopped slowly on the runway. Once on board, the plane was soon 　40 . I began to feel nervous. As we reached one thousand meters, Harry, my teacher, hooked（钩）a 　41 from my parachute to a steel（钢制品）ring inside the plane. The line was to pull my parachute 42 after I jumped.

　 “Get ready, Henry,” Harry said. I moved carefully to the door. I wanted to cry, “NO, no, no!” But no word came.

　 “Jump!” Harry called loudly. “Jump!”

Away from the plane, and down, down I fell, arms stretched. It worked! All at once I was very happy. Then I felt a quick 　43 . My big parachute had opened! It was the best

44 I ever had. I looked down. There were rivers, trees, fields and houses. I heard the soft sound of the air. This was fun.
