This year my husband and I decided to have a quiet, low-key New Year's Eve. We wanted to spend it with our kids and other immediate family and make it a special 1 for them, instead of 2 a babysitter and going out on our own. The logical way to do this was through 3 . As we all know, food had a magical way of making; a night 4 , and our New Year's Eve certainly 5 that way, thanks to doughnuts(甜甜圈).
I decided to make doughnuts because my cousins had 6 a batch(一批) on Halloween and I found it very 7 . I used a recipe from the 1976 Mennonite cookbook More With Less and it 8 a curious ingredient---two cups of mashed potatoes that 9 made the texture lighter. The doughnuts were 10 and cut from a sheet of dough(生面团), then left to rise until ready to fry in hot oil. Then they took several seconds to 11 , which meant that my enormous batch of 100 doughnuts was 12 cooking in a fairly short time. We glazed(浇上浆液) the tops and then 13 them for the rest of the evening. The leftovers disappeared at breakfast.
This will become an annual 14 , I have no doubt. Whether we host a bigger party or keep it small, there will always be 15 doughnuts, because when you have hot homemade doughnuts, you can't help but have the best time.

When I started riding a bike a couple of years ago, I didn't think my involvement would ever be more serious than the occasional short ride. But as I built strength, my friends 1 me to step up my training and try some longer trips. The first one to come along was a 150-mile trip, the MS-
150, an annual 2 that raises money to fight AIDS.
When I registered, the idea seemed fantastic and I trained with 3 . However, as the time for the ride approached, my self-doubts 4 beyond my endurance (忍耐). I 5 wanted to raise money for the charity, but I didn't really want to bike all those miles for two days straight.
The ride began on a beautiful Sunday morning in the Georgia countryside, and for the first few hours I felt 6 .This was just the experience I had 7 ，and my spirits were high. 8 by the end of the day, I felt tired out.
If the body is 9 to the mind, here was evidence. Every 10 my brain pushed out seemed to travel right down to my leg s. “I can't handle this” became a leg cramp (抽筋), and “Everyone else is a better rider” translated into 11 of breath. I was sure I'd have to 12 .
As I topped the crest (顶) of a hill, the beautiful sunset kept me going for a few minutes more. Then in the distance, I saw a lone woman riding very slowly 13 the bright red sun. I 14 that the person looked different in some way, but I couldn't tell why. So I pushed myself to 15 . There she was, riding along slowly but 16 ，with a slight and determined smile on her face and she had only one leg.
My focus changed in that instant. For a whole day I'd been 17 my body. But now I knew it wasn't the body, but the 18 that would help me reach my goal. It rained all the second day. I never saw the one-legged biker again, but I pushed on without 19 ， knowing she was out there with me somewhere. And at the end of the day, still feeling 20 ， I completed the 150-mile trip.

The day finally arrived—my first day of school. As I 6 there, my mind was filled with negative thoughts, “What am I doing? I’m not smart enough to go to university.

I drove a little further on up the highway and there was another 10 . This one had a picture of Albert Einstein with his tongue 11 out. A line read, “As a student, he was no Einstein.” And there was a word in red, “Confidence”. A new attitude was 12 inside me.
I was now 13 the gate of the university and there stood still another billboard. This one showed a photograph of a proud 14 in a cap and gown. Under the picture was her 15 , Nola Otis, aged 95. Oldest University Graduate. Below it was the words, “Live Life”. At that moment, my outlook changed completely.

Five days before Christmas, police officer Lima was sent to a local Stop and Shop for a reported theft. The accusation (指控) was that two females were 1 some items at the self-checkout but bypassing other items and 2 those items. The two females and two children were already 3 by the security guard over there.
Lima had two girls himself, similar in age to the two girls there, so it 4 him a little bit. Lima checked the 5 for the items they had paid for. There was nothing else like health and beauty items on it. The items were all 6 —things bought just to stuff themselves. Then he asked an employee where the other items were that they had 7 to take and was informed they were put back on the shelves.
Obviously, this family was in real need. While Lima firmly 8 following the law, he decided to cut them a break and not to 9 them.
The two-females, consequently, were very grateful but kind of 10 because generally, in that same situation there would probably be a different outcome and they’d be 11 .
Lima took things a step further in an effort to aid the family. He gave them $200 gift card, telling them not to get things in 12 ways any more.
“I purchased the gift card close to the 13 of what would have been taken,” said Lima, “I did what I felt was 14 . I just tried to show a little 15 to the extent permitted by law.”1．A．counting B．searching C．scanning D．testing 2．A．sorting B．bagging C．labeling D．checking

One day, a professor entered the classroom and asked his students to prepare for a surprise test. They waited worriedly at their desks for the test to begin. The professor 1 the question papers, with the paper facing down as usual. After he gave them all out, he asked his students to 2 the paper and begin. To everyone's surprise, there were no 3 , just a black dot in the center of the page. The professor, seeing the 4 on everyone's face, told them the following:
"I want you to write what you 5 there."
The students got started on the inexplicable (费解的) task.
At the end of the class, the professor 6 all the answer papers and started reading each one of them aloud in front of all the students. All of them, with no 7 , described the black dot, trying to explain its 8 in the middle of the sheet, etc. After all had been 9 , the classroom was silent, and the professor began to 10 :
"I' m not going to grade this 11 wanted to give you something to think about. No one wrote about the 12 part of the paper. Everyone focused on the black dot, and the same happens in our 13 . We have a white paper to observe, but we always focus on the dark spots. Our life is a 14 given to us with love and care, and we always have 15 to celebrate: nature renewing itself every day, our friends around us, the job that 16 our livelihood and the miracles (奇迹) we see every day.
17 , we insist on focusing only on the dark spots: the health problems that worry us, the lack of money, the 18 relationship with workmates, the 19 with a friend, etc.
The dark spots are very 20 compared to everything we have in our daily life, but they are the ones that pollute our minds.
