My ears are recently full of joyous remarks from my friends such as, “Oh, Beckham is so handsome, so cool, that I can’t help falling in love with him!” or “What perfect skills he has!” Yeah, I _36_ to some degree, though I sometimes do want to _37_ them how much they know about Beckham, apart from his _38_ and how much they know about football apart from _39_ goals. It seems funny that we are _40_ for things, with which we are unfamiliar or about which we are _41_, but we all, my friends as well as I, consider this one of life’s _42_ .
We need these pleasures to _43_ our lives. But that doesn't _44_ to craziness or nonsense. As an old saying goes: “Don't judge a book by its cover.” We _45_ not judge anything from its appearance. We should all know, it is one’s good _46_ and great contribution that make one a star and unforgettable. Therefore we’d better say _47_ about Beckham’s good looks.
If we close our eyes, falling in deep _48_, we can find that the things that move us to be really happy or sad have a _49_ meaning. If we don't go deeper and are just satisfied with _50_ things, sooner or later we will find that we have not really gained anything because our first _51_ has blinded and misled (误导) us, and we’ll remain ignorant _52_ we realize that and make some changes.
It is believed that thinking and going deeper than before is a _53_ of great progress. If one day we are willing to go deeper into everything, no matter how much it _54_ us, we will finally prove how much we have _55_ up, how much more sensible, mature, and intelligent we have become.

“How did you do it, Dad? How have you managed not to take a drink for almost 20 years?” It took me almost 20 years to have the
to even ask my father this very personal question. When Dad first
27
drinking , the whole family was on
28
and needles every time he got into a
29
that, in the past, would have
30
him drinking again. For a few years we were
31
to bring it up
32
that the drinking would begin again.
“I had this little poem that I would recite to myself at least four to five times a day,” was Dad’s
33
to my 18-year-old unasked question. “The words were a constant
34
to me that things were
35
so hard that I could not deal with them,” Dad said. And then he
36
the poem with me. The poem’s
37
, yet profound words immediately became
38
of my daily routine as well.
About a month after this talk with my father, I received a gift in the mail from a friend of mine. It was a book of daily sayings of wisdom with one
39
for each day of the year.
It has been my experience that when you get something with days of the year on it, you naturally turn to the page that lists your own
40
.
I
41
opened the book to November 10 to see
42
words of wisdom this book had in store for me. The moment I glanced at the page, tears of
43
and appreciation
44
down my face. There, on my birthday, was the exact same poem that had
45
my father for all these years! It is called the Serenity Prayer:
God, grant me
the serenity to accept the things I cannot change;
the courage to change the things I can, and
the wisdom to know the difference.

完形填空（记叙文）.
Valentine’s Day was the time my father chose to show his love for the special people in his life. Over the years I fondly (天真的) thought 1 him as my “Valentine man”.
My first recollection of the 2 he could bring to Valentine’s Day came when I was six. That morning at the breakfast table I found a card and a gift-wrapped package at my chair. The card was 3 “Love, Dad”and the gift was a ring with a small piece of red glass to 4 my birthstone, a ruby (红宝石). There is 5 difference between red glass and rubies to a child of six, and I remember 6 that ring with pride that all the cards in the world 7 not surpass (超越).
8 I grew older, the gifts gave 9 to heart-shaped boxes filled with my 10 chocolate and always included a 11 card signed“Love, Dad”. In those years my thank-you became 12 of a perfunctory (敷衍的) response. The cards seemed less 13 , and I took for granted that the Valentine would 14 be there. I had 15 my hopes and dreams in receiving cards and gifts from“significant others”and“Love, Dad”just didn’t seem quite 16 .
His final card remains on my desk today. It’s a 17 of how special father’s love can be and how important it has been to me over the years to know that I had a father who continued a 18 of love with simple acts of understanding and an ability to express happiness over the people in his life.
Those things never 19 , nor does the memory of a man who never 20 being my Valentine.
