1、Bruce shook his money box again. Nothing! He carefully counted the coins that lay on the bed. All that he had was $24.52. The 31 which he wanted was at least $90. How on earth(究竟) was he going to get the rest of the 32 ? He knew that his friends all had bicycles. It was hard to hang out(闲逛) with peo
2、ple when you were the only one 33 a bicycle. He thought about 34 he could do. He couldnt get money from his parents, because he knew they had no extra(额外的) money.There was only one way to get money, and that was to earn(挣钱) it. He would have to find a job. He decided to ask Mr Clay for 35 . “Well, y
3、ou can start right here,” said Mr Clay. “You see, my windows need cleaning and my car needs washing”. That was the beginning of Bruces part-time(兼职) job. For the next three 36 he worked every day after finishing his homework. He took dogs for walks and cleaned rooms. The day finally came when Bruce
4、37 his money and found $94.32. He wasted no time and went down to the shop to 38 the bicycle he wanted. He rode home proudly, looking forward to 39 his new bicycle to his friends. Bruce liked his bicycle very much because he had bought it with his own money. At last, his dream came true, and his par

6、can experience (经历) four seasons in one day. In the morning the weather is warm just _37_in spring. An hour later black _38_ come and then it rains_39_. In the late afternoon the sky will be_40_. The sun will begin_41_, and it will be summer at this time of a day. In England, people can also have su
7、mmer in winter, or have winter in summer. So in winter they can swim sometimes, and in summer sometimes they should _42_warm clothes. When you go to England, you _43_that some English people usually take an umbrella or a raincoat _44_them on a sunny day, but you should not laugh at them. _45_ you do

Thinki
10、ng he had not made himself 43 or the student had not heard him clearly, he said, “Yes, indeed, you speak it very well.” But the Chinese student still 44 saying “No”. 45 the foreigner gave up and didnt know what to say.Whats wrong with the students answer? It is because he didnt accept a compliment a
11、s the American people 46 . He should have said “Thank you” instead of “No”. He actually understood what the American had said. But he thought he should be modest. If someone says to a woman, “ You look 47 beautiful with the new clothes 48 .” she should be very happy and answer, “Thank you.” In our c
12、ountry we think 49 modest is a virtue and showing off is a bad behavior. But in the West, if you are modest and say, “ No, 50 I cant do it well,” then the others will take it for granted (理所当然)that you 51 can not do it. If you often say,“No”, you will certainly be looked down upon by 52 . When 53 fo
13、r a job, if one says something like “Yes, I can certainly do it” instead of “ Let me have a try on the job”, he or she can expect to get it. So in the West, one should always be confident. 54 self-confidence, he cant go anywhere. Confidence is of great 55 to one in a country where competition is qui
