My teenage son Karl became withdrawn(内向的) after his father died. As a single 36 , I tried to do my best to talk to him, but the more I tried, the more 37 dulled away(使变低沉). When his report card arrived during his junior year, it said that he had been absent 95 times from classes and had six falling 38 for the year. In this way he would never graduate(毕业).

I was at work when I got a phone call. A man 42 himself as the headmaster. “I want to talk to you about Karl’s absences.” 43 he could say another word, I choked up(哽咽)and all my disappointment(失望) and sadness over Karl came pouring out into the ears of this stranger. “I love my son, but I just don’t know what to do. I’ve tried everything to get Karl to go back to school and nothing has worked. It’s out of my hands.” For a moment there was 44 on the other end of the line. The headmaster seriously said, “Thank you for your time”, and hung up.
Karl’s next report card showed a marked 45 in his grades. Finally,he was even on the list of the best students at school. In his fourth year, I went to a parent teacher meeting with Karl. I noticed that his teachers were surprised at the way he had 46 himself around. On our way home, he said, “Mum, remember that call from the headmaster last year?” I nodded. “That was me.

Dear Malia and Sasha,
When I was a young man, I thought life was all about me—about how I’d make my way in the world, become successful, and get the things I want. But then the (36) of you came into my world with all your curiosity and mischief(好奇与顽皮) and those smiles that (37)fail to fill my heart and light up my day. And suddenly, all my big plans for myself didn’t seem so important anymore. I soon found that the greatest (38) in my life was the joy I saw in yours. And I realized that my own life wouldn’t be so important (39) I was able to make sure that you had every chance for happiness and success in yours. In the end, girls, that’s why I ran for President: because of what I want for you and for every child in this nation.
Sometimes we have to send our young men and women into war and other (40) s situations to protect our country—but when we do, I want to make sure that it is only for a very good reason, that we try our best to settle our troubles with others peacefully, and that we do everything possible to (41) our service men and women safe. And I want every child to understand that the blessings(福祉) these brave Americans fight for are not (42)—that being a citizen(公民) of this nation costs great responsibility(责任).
That was the (43) your grandmother tried to teach me when I was your age, reading me the opening lines of the Declaration of Independence(独立宣言) and telling me about the men and women who fought for equality(平等) because they (44) those words put to paper two centuries ago should mean something.
These are the things I want for (45)—to grow up in a world with all your dreams and every success within your reach, and to grow to loving women with responsibilities who will help build that world. And I want every child to have the same chances to learn and (46)and grow and achieve that you girls have. That’s why I’ve taken our family on this great adventure(探险).
I am so proud of both of you. I love you more than you can ever (47). And I am thankful every day for your patience, trust, and humor as we prepare to start our new life together in the White House.
Love, Dad

“This Friday we’ll have the yearly Egg Drop Challenge(挑战),” said our science teacher, Mr. Baker.
“You can work alone or with a partner.” My friend, Cassie, and I smiled at each other. We always worked on projects(设计) 36 .
The 37 of the Challenge was simple— to build a projective container to keep an egg from breaking when rolled down the stadium wall.
I 38 _ my sandwich that afternoon while waiting for Cassie. As I was spreading(涂抹) the butter-cream ,it gave me an idea.
“I have a wonderful design for our 39 container!” I said when Cassie arrived. “We can mix the egg with some butter cream.”
“Why not put the egg in a basket with a parachute(降落伞) together?” Cassie rolled her eyes. “The parachute is better than that stupid idea.”
I couldn’t believe it. Of course we’d had our little 40 in the past, but she’d never called any of my ideas “ 41 ” before.
“Then I’ll build mine and you build yours! ” 42 words had been out, our friendship was challenged.
When Friday finally arrived, I had to admit Cassie’s Egg Force One looked pretty good. Anyway , my Egg-cellent Egg Cream didn’t look quite scientific. We kids carried our containers up three stadium steps and 43 them over the side wall. Those whose eggs broke were out; those whose egg survived turned around three more steps and dropped them again. This would go on till the last egg broke.
After four rounds, only Cassie and I were 44 . I let go of my box. I heard someone say “ew” after seconds. Had my egg broken? I ran down the 45 . The sidewalk was dotted with egg shell(蛋壳) from those failed drops. Finally I found my little Egg-cellent Egg Cream.
“That looks like egg drop soup, Laura, ” Cassie said. She was holding her Egg Force One. My 46 raced. Had she won? I looked at her basket., Empty ! “My egg bounced 47 , ” she explained, pointing to a broken shell(壳).
“A tie(平局),” Mr Baker said.
Cassie looked at me, and her glare softened . I laughed. She smiled…
