In my spare time, I paint designs on T-shirts. I got the idea two years　 1　　　 for my 2　　　 　birthday present. The shop wanted $ 20 for a special design 3　　　 a T-shirt, so I decided to do it 4　　　 . I bought a white cotton T-shirt　 5　　　 　$6 and some paints, and I painted a lion on the front. My brother loved it!

Painting T-shirts is great fun. You 6　　　 　be a great artist, you can just paint shapes and lines. The T-shirts are the 7　　　 　expensive part of my hobby. Also you have to use special fabric paints and you need to buy good quality brushes.

I love my hobby 8　　　 　I can make T-shirts that no-one else has. I give a lot of them away　 9　　　 　presents to my family and friends. Sometimes, I sell them. Since I started, I’ve　 10　　　 　about 60 T-shirts and each one is different.　

A boy was walking home from school when he saw a large, red apple on the tree near a house. The boy didn’t like eating __35__ very much. He preferred a piece of chocolate if he was given the choice, but this time, seeing the nice apple, the boy wanted it very much. The more he looked at the apple, the __36__ he felt and the more he wanted it.

   He stood on tiptoe (脚尖), stretching (伸展) as high as he could, but he was still unable to touch it. He began to __37__ up and down, as high as he could, at the top of each jump stretching his arms to get the apple. Still it remained out of __38__.

   Not giving up, he thought, if he had something to __39__ on, he could reach it. His school bag wouldn’t give enough height and he didn’t want to __40__ the things inside, like his lunch box, pencil case, and Gameboy. Looking __41__, he hoped he might find an old box, a rock, or, with luck, even a ladder, but he found nothing that he could __42__. 

    He had tried everything he could think to do. Without seeing any other choices, he gave up and started to walk away. At first he felt angry and disappointed (失望的) thinking about how hungry he had become from his __43__, and how he really wanted that apple. The more he thought like this, the more unhappy he became.

However, the boy of our story was a __44__ one, even if he couldn’t always get what he wanted. He started to say to himself, “This isn’t helpful. I don’t have the apple and I’m feeling unhappy as well. There’s __45__ more I can do to get the apple. That is unchangeable. But we should try to __46__ our feelings. If that’s the case (情况), what can I do to feel better?”
