War, money and power are a few things that countries and people are concerned about. __1__ I agree that those things are important, I believe that everyone should start to __2__ more on a growing problem—global warming.

Global warming will not only __3__ our country and our generation, but also the entire __4__ and future generations. It is __5__ because the weather has been a lot warmer over the past few years, which __6__ the melting(融化) of the ice in the Antarctic. This will soon cause water levels to __7__ and flood parts of the world.

Many people ignore this problem because they feel __8__ they can't do anything about it and have more __9__ things to worry about. If we all __10__ so, then our ozone layer(臭氧层) will be __11__ and the planet will no longer be able to make life continue to exist. We should do our best to limit the use of our planet's __12__ resources(资源) and keep our air clean. __13__， future generations will suffer from our __14__.

Some might feel that they can't stop global warming from __15__. But if every single person does his or her part in keeping the air clean, then it will become a __16__ effort. Sure, there are some things that cause pollution and that we won't be able to __17__ change. This may include cars burning oil, but we can __18__ adjust some of these things. People can start carpooling, taking the bus, riding their bikes, or __19__ just walking.

If everyone takes __20__ now, I believe we can start seeing remarkable results within a few years.

When I was young,my parents ran a snack bar in our small town.

One evening in early April,my mother told me to fill in at the snack bar 36　 a worker who had the flu.I told her I would mess it up, 37 I had never worked at the bar before.I 　38　

that instead of making money,I would end up owing it.

“You can do it,”said my mother.“　 39　 ,you won’t get much business until lunch.”

“But I’ll never remember the orders,and I’m no good ___40_ money.Please,Mom,don’t

　 41　 me.”

“Then I’ll help you,”she said.

I shrugged my shoulders.I thought my mother’s　　 42　　 was a bad one,but I 　　 43　　 .

When I got to the bar the next day,I found my mother was　 44　 .Because the weather that day was rainy and cold,people wanted hot snacks and drinks.　 45　 ,I was really slow at taking the orders and making change.The line of people grew,and everybody seemed　 46　 .I was so nervous that my hands shook,and I 　 47 a cup into pieces.What a mess!Then my mother came to　 48 me,and she also showed me how to make　 49　 .If someone gave me $5 for something that cost $3.25,I handed over　 50　 quarters and a dollar and said,“75 cents makes four dollars,plus one dollar makes five.”Things went more　 51　 after that.

By the end of the day,I could remember orders,　 52　 the bill,and make change quickly with a smile.I was even a little　 53　 when the sun came out and dried up business.My mother said she was proud of me,and when she　 54　 that I work at the snack bar again next year,I did not even shrug.I was too busy　 55　 the restaurant I would open one day.

My husband and I both work at home. We have four children, so the times when I am 36 in the house are few. Like many work-at-home moms, when I do get a 37 to be by myself, I fill that time with more 38 , whether it’s related to my career or taking care of the housework . Most of the time, I don’t mind. 39 , I wanted this job as wife and mother, and I knew from the start that it often 40 putting others’ needs before my own. But, other times, I can’t help but feel a little 41 because I seldom had any plans for myself, and everyone knew it. My life 42 on my family, but they seldom appreciated this, which often 　43 me a lot.

One day, when the kids were at school, I 44 for the movie theater-alone, I’d 　45 been to the movies alone before, so I was a little nervous. Would I look pitiful going to the theater by myself? Was I being ridiculous(荒唐可笑) by seeing a movie 　46 so much work waited for me at home? I 47 myself to swallow these 　48 and bought myself a ticket. And then I walked into the theater with my 49 held high and enjoyed every minute of the movie. I laughed and felt my good spirits 50 for a couple of hours, I was 　51 wife or mother. I was just myself.

From that point on, I 52 that Fridays would be mine, 　53 for a couple of hours. Some Fridays, I head to(前往) the beach with a good book. Other Fridays, I go shopping, 54 up a little fast food or some clothes just for myself. I really 55 my Fridays after a long week of caring of my family.

　　Many changes are taking place in the way in which men and women look at their roles in society.We see these roles most dramatically(戏剧性地) in job and business situations.It is no longer 1　 to find a male nurse or a female construction worker.Years　2　, however,a man who worked as a nurse would have been ?　3　? down upon for doing “a woman's job”,and a female construction worker would have been ?　4　? off the construction site by her male coworkers.?　5　? dramatic these changes are,they are not as 　6　? as the changes that have taken place between men's and women's roles in　7　? life.?

　　The fact that so many women today have 　8　 the job market and are 　9　　　　　　　　 　 independent career(生涯) for themselves has 　10　 the traditional family structure in many ways.For one thing,household work that 　11　 to be done by women is now often 　12　 ?equally by men and women.Men have discovered 13　? that they too are capable of preparing the family dinner,　14 than thinking that they are only capable of taking out the 　15　.?

　　Perhaps the greatest change 　16　 has taken place in the family is in parent's new 　17　 toward bringing up children.While it is true that only mothers can breastfeed their own babies,　18　 is it written that fathers cannot bathe their own babies or change diapers(尿布).And more and more of them are doing 　19　 that.These days,being a fulltime 　20　 is a job that fathers and mothers both share.?
