举一反三
My father was in the navy, which meant that my mother was married to both my father and the sea. As was often the case, we had to pack our belongings into boxes and 41 those we had grown to love. We would arrive at our new home and find ourselves once again 42 at the pier(码头)waving good-bye to my father as his 43 pulled him away from us. My mother would turn my brother and I around before the ship was out of 44 , wipe our tears, and take us back home to start the process of 45 in the new environment again.
Throughout the years of changing 46 , schools and friends, there remained one constant in my childhood—my mother. For both my 47 and I, she was the cook, maid and teacher. She played these roles while 48 some type of part-time job. Leaving a promising career is just one of the 49 which my mother made for my family as we moved around the world with our father every three years or so. 50 she had to deal with only a small budget, my mother 51 managed to make each house to be the very home that is safe and 52 .
This probably sounds like a depressing way to live, 53 with two small children: “single” parenthood, short-term friendships, and the inability to 54 a career or establish a home. But it was not for my mother. She turned this 55 into adventure for us all! Each relocation was a chance to 56 another part of the world. My mother greeted each new culture, climate and neighborhood. Each new house was a 57 to rearrange furniture, make curtains and 58 pictures. Every part-time job was an opportunity to learn something new and work with interesting people.
No matter how difficult the life was, she was always having a 59 attitude. She always had strength in the face of struggle and change. My mother was so 60 all those years of my childhood—she was my island in a sea of change. She is my hero.

Mr Williams 36 his little boy by the hand, and said 37 to him, “Come, my son. I want to show you 38 in the garden.”
Harry walked into the garden with his 39 , who led him along until they came to a bed in which peas(豌豆) were growing. Not a weed(杂草) was to be 40 about their roots.
“See how beautifully these peas are 41, my son,” said Mr. Williams. “How clean and healthy the vines(藤) look. We shall have a good 42 . Now let me show you the vines in Mr. Parker’s garden.”

The Monster of Lake Tianchi
The "Monster of Lake Tianchi" in the Changbai Mountains in Jilin province, northeast China, is back in the news after several recent sightings. The director of a local tourist office, Meng Fanying, said the monster, which seemed to be black in colour, was ten metres from the edge of the lake during the most recent sighting. "It jumped out of the water like a seal—about 200 people on Changbai"s western peak saw it," he said. Although no one really got a clear look at the mysteriouscreature, Xue Junlin, a local photographer, claimed that its head looked like a horse.
In another recent sighting, a group of soldiers claim they saw an animal moving on the surface of the water. The soldiers, who were walking along the side of the lake, watched the creature swimming for about two minutes. "It was greenish-black and had a round head with 10-centimetre horns", one of the soldiers said.
A third report came from Li Xiaohe, who was visiting the lake with his family. He claims to have seen a round black creature moving quickly through the water. After three or four hundred metres it dived into the water. Ten minutes later the monster appeared again and repeated the action. Mr Li Xiaohe said that he and his family were able to see the monster clearly because the weather was fine and the lake was calm.
There have been reports of monsters in Lake Tianchi since the beginning of the last century, although no one has seen one close up. Some photos have been taken but they are not clear because it was too far away. Many people think the monster may be a distant cousin of the Loch Ness monster in Scotland. They also think that there might be similar creatures in other lakes around the world. Scientists, however, are sceptical. They say that the low-temperature lake is unlikely to be able to support such large living creatures.
Lake Tianchi is the highest volcanic lake in the world. It is 2,189 metres high and covers an area of about ten square kilometres. In places it is more than 370 metres deep.

Denmark is famous for its design culture.At the heart of “Danish Design” is the idea that, as poet and designer Piet Hein puts it: “There is one art, not more, nor less, [and that is] to do all things with artlessness (朴实)”.
Danish design places equal emphasis on practicality and quality.From Lego toys to furniture, Danish products are known for their clean lines, simplicity and functionality.“Remove material where it"s not needed.Keep things simple and functional and make them carefully,” explained Hans J.Wegner, the first Danish designer to achieve worldwide fame: “The aim is not to create a work of art, but to produce a good chair.”
“The Danes have done a better job than most in promoting arts in Europe, considering their country"s size and population, in the fields of architecture, sculpture and design,” writes Helena Smith, reporter with British newspaper the Guardian.
The simplicity of Danish design may extend to the quality of life there.Some even claim that the Danes have the highest quality of life of any nation in the world.
Kate Vial, a 55-year-old American who has lived and worked in Denmark for more than 30 years, explaining why she chooses to live in Denmark rather than the US, told Germany"s biggest news weekly Der Spiegel: “I just chose a simpler lifestyle, one where I could ride my bike all over and where I don"t have to make a great living to survive.”
