A young man was getting ready to graduate from college. For many months he had 41 _ a beautiful sports car in a showroom, and knowing his father could well 42 it, he told him that was all he wanted.
As Graduation Day came near, the young man awaited 43 that his father had bought the car. 44 , on the morning of his graduation, his father called him into his 45 study room. His father told him how 46 he was to have such a fine son, and told him how 47 he loved him. He handed his son a beautifully wrapped (包装) 48 box.
Curious, and somewhat disappointed, the young man opened the box and 49 a lovely, leather-bound (皮纸封面) Bible, 50 the young man’s name pressed in gold. 51 , he raised his voice to his father, and said “With 52 your money, you give me a Bible?” and stormed out of the house.
Many years passed and the young man was very successful in 53 . He had a beautiful home and wonderful family, but realized his father was very 54 , and thought perhaps he should go to him. He had not seen him 55 that graduation day.
Before he could make arrangements, he received a telegram 56 his father had passed away, and willed all his possessions to his son. He needed to come home immediately and 57 things.
When he arrived at his father’s house, sudden 58 and regret filled his heart. He began to search through his father’s important papers and saw the still gift-wrapped Bible 59 as he had left it years ago. With tears, he opened the Bible and began to turn the pages.
Suddenly, a car key dropped from the back of the 60 . It had a tag (标签) with the date of his graduation on it, and the words PAID IN FULL.

The story I am going to tell you happened about three years ago when I started to learn how to drive. At first, I was very frightened, and I thought I could never learn how to drive a car. Driving a car frightened me because in my home country women never drive, but in the United States every woman has to know how to drive. My husband paid an instructor to teach me how to drive. After that, my husband practiced with me for a long time. My husband always told me that I had to learn. It was important to me and my family.
However, I couldn’t get my license right away. I failed my driving test two times. After practicing for a long time, I decided to go for my third driving test. I had failed my first test because I was very nervous. Everybody encouraged me to continue practicing. Three weeks later, I decided to try it again, but I failed again. After that, I was very embarrassed（困窘的）, and I said I couldn’t get it, so I stopped practicing for a while.
Not knowing how to drive was bad because I couldn’t do anything. I had two kids, my husband works, and I have to take care of everything. Driving was so necessary that I decided to try it again. And finally, that time, I passed the test. Now I have my license. I know how to drive, and it has changed my life in some important ways. Now I’m driving to the college, learning English and hoping I will get a good job in the future.
