She saw me     8    her and she smiled, “My husband loves  T­bone steaks, but they are so expensive.”
    “My husband     9      away eight days ago,” I told  her,  and     10     to control the sadness in my voice.  “Buy him the T-bone steaks.  And     11    every moment you have together. ”
         12    by my words, she placed the steaks in her  basket and walked away     13    . But several minutes  later she came towards me again,     14     a package in  her arms. She was     15     the brightest smile I had ever seen.

(3) In the years before high school, I concentrated much on football and the marching band, tests and grades. That is the     1     that I spent my time in a world of my design.
    I have never really let go of my civil engineering     2    . I often imagine how things can be better.     3     construction projects send me into thinking about how the projects could     4     faster, cheaper and safer, and how I could     5     them that way. Sitting on my bicycle for hours watching the houses around mine constructed has let me feel the     6     to work to shape our physical infrastructure (基础建设) into wonderful     7    .
    In school, I’m always good at math and truly enjoyed science, and especially history. However, my high school years have had     8    , between balancing homework and football, and     9     poor writing skills a month and a half before I took the SAT’s. Even so I always struggle to     10     the quality of my homework, and every semester is better than the last one. This is the first year I am     11     enough to write AP essays, and that     12     should continue into my college career.
     As my life has progressed, I have learned always to stick with     13     things. I make friends perhaps less freely than some,    14     once someone is my friend, I am loyal to them, and so are they, and we have a real, lasting     15    . Football tested me, philosophy classes     16     me, and band hurt my ears, but I     17     with it, just like I still hold my childhood fascination with civil engineering. This     18     of character will stay with it till my efforts pay off. I believe it will make me a (n)     19     college student. That, combined with my longstanding curiosity about     20     our world, is what will make me a great civil engineer someday soon.

(5)  The aim of advertising is to change our ideas about things we want and need.
    Many ads use people's     1    —like fear or love—to persuade us that we need the product. Think of a TV commercial that shows a woman out     2     in a car on a rainy day, with her two small children.     3    , another car turns in front of her. The mother quickly hits the     4    , and her car comes to a stop. The children are     5     smiling and laughing. The message is: This car will keep you safe. Other examples are     6      that tell you to “take vitamins to prevent heart diseases”, or “buy insurance—    7     your family”.
    Commercials for soft drinks often show everyone in the ad is having a good time. The message is:     8     you buy this drink, you will have a good time too. Many ads like this are based on people's     9      for fun and enjoyment.
    Advertising for designer products uses people's vanity(虚荣心) to     10     the products. The ads try to create a personality for each brand.     11    , one brand of watches is for people who like adventure,     12     ads featuring an auto racer or a pilot wearing them.     13     brand of watches is for elegant and fashionable people, and the ads show wealthy travelers on a cruise ship. The watches look almost the same—only their images are     14    . When you buy that brand of watch, you are buying the     15     .
    After an ad is prepared, advertisers use psychology to make it more     16    . Psychologists have found that people have positive feelings about things they see more often, so the same ad is used for a long time before it is     17     with a new ad. Other studies found that people     18     an ad better when it is fresh in their memory,     19     TV ads are repeated very often. Knowing about     20     in advertising lets us make better decisions about the things we buy.
