“Mum, I want to make you a bet,” I said. “If I go a whole year without TV, will you give me a hundred dollars?”  
“Well, if you can   1  do it, …”
“Of course I can,” I replied, trying to convince   2 .
In fact, all this started from my   3  of a picture in the newspaper. I couldn’t bear to look at that boy. He said that he had   4  one year without TV for a hundred dollars,   5 me with mocking eyes. It seemed he was saying, “I did it,   6  you can’t!”. I glared at the boy’s face.
That year I did a lot of things. For example, my father taught me to   7 , which became my favorite sport.   8  winter afternoons snowball wars with my neighbors offered daily drama. I went on bike trips with my friends and swam as much as a fish.  
It was unbelievable how much   9  I had without TV. I learned so many new games. I guess the   10  thing I learnt, though, was self-motivation(上进心).  
I started to do my homework. I went from a D student to an A student within a couple of   11 .  
I used to   12  reading if there were no   13 , but now I began to read and enjoy it. I could arrange off all the pictures just the way I wanted them—my own little TV, right   14  my head!
I’m surprised what I did. I got a lot more from the   15  than just the 100 dollars!

  I used to dream about Pisa when I was a boy.I read about the famous building called the Leaning Tower of Pisa (比萨斜塔).But when I read the word Pisa, I was thinking of pizza.I thought this tower was a place to buy pizza.It must be the best pizza in the world,I thought.

  Many years later I finally saw the Leaning Tower.I knew then it was Pisa and not pizza.But there was still something special about it for me.The tower got its name because it really does lean to one side.Some people want to try,to fix (整修) it.They are afraid it may fall over and they do not like the way it looks.

  I do not think it's a good idea to try to fix it.The tower probably will not fall down.It is 600 years old.Why should anything happen to it now?And,if you ask me,I like the way it looks.I like the way it leans over the city.To me it is a very human kind of leaning.Nothing is perfect (完美),it seems to say.

  And who cares? Why do people want things to be perfect? Imperfect things may be more interesting.Let's take the tower in Pisa.Why is it so famous? There are many other older,more beautiful towers in Italy.But Pisa tower is the most famous.

People come from all over the world to see it.
