A[2020·咸宁改编]
When I was a child, my mom liked to make food for dinner every now and then. One night she made 1.d after long, hard work.
That evening, my mom placed a plate of eggs, sausages and burned(烤焦的) 2.c in front of my dad. I was waiting to 3.s if anyone would say anything. Yet my dad just reached for his cookies, smiled 4.a my mom and asked me how my day was at school. I didn’t remember what I told him that night, 5.b I clearly remember watching him eat every bite of the cookies!
When I got up from the table that evening, I heard my mom apologize(道歉) to my dad for
6.b the cookies. And I will never forget what he
7.s, “Dear, I love the burned cookies.”
Later that night, I went to kiss Dad goodnight and I 8.a him if he really liked his burned cookies. He hugged me and said, “Your mom had 9.h work today, and she’s very tired. Besides, a little burned cookie never hurts 10.a!”
Life is 11.f of imperfect(不完美的) things and imperfect people. We 12.n to learn to accept each other’s faults(过失) and enjoy each other’s differences. Try to understand it and change our mind.

Everyone knows that second-hand smoke is as dangerous as first-hand smoke. But have you
1.h of “third-hand” smoke?
Third-hand smoke means the pollution left on the surfaces(表面) of things around,
2.l furniture or clothes. When someone smokes in a room, poisonous particles(粒子) in tobacco(烟草) smoke land on the surfaces of the furniture or his clothes, even after the cigarette(香烟) has been put out. This can cause a great danger to your family,
3.e younger children.
Babies have only just learned to walk. They are more likely to be harmed by third-hand smoke. This is 4.b they are often close to surfaces of things, such as floors, walls and furniture where tobacco particles remain. When they 5.t these surfaces, they get their hands polluted.
So, it is necessary and important to say 6.n to third-hand smoke. To achieve this, strict 7.r for forbidding(禁止) smoking inside homes should be carried out. If one of your family members smokes, please make sure he smokes 8.o the house. Get him a special jacket and hat, so once he 9.f smoking, he will take them off before getting inside the house. Moreover, make sure that a smoker washes his hands and face, and changes his clothes before picking up the baby.
Many times, you cannot see the smoke doing harm to your child, but it doesn’t mean he or she is 10.s. Give up smoking, or if that is not possible, make sure that your loved ones are far away from third-hand smoke.

The Clever Learning Methods
Why do you need study skills? Because they will make it 1.e for you to learn and do well in class, especially as you move up to middle school and high school.
•Pay attention in class
Do you have 2.d paying attention in class? Are you sitting next to a loud person? Is it hard to see the blackboard? Make sure you’re sitting in a good seat that makes you pay attention. Tell your teacher or parents about any problem that is stopping you from paying attention and taking good
notes.
•Take good notes
Not sure how to take notes? Start by writing down facts that your teacher mentions
3.o writes on the blackboard in class. Try your best to use good handwriting so that you can read your notes later. It’s also a good idea to keep your notes, quizzes, and papers
4.o by subject.
•Plan 5.b tests
It’s not wise of you to wait until 6.T night to study for Friday’s test. It also makes it hard to do your best. You’ll feel sorry for 7.p off things often. One of the best ways is to plan ahead.
•Get a good night’s sleep
So the test is tomorrow and you’ve followed your study plan, but 8.s you can’t remember anything, not even 2+2! Don’t worry. Your brain needs time to digest(消化) all the
9.i you’ve given it. Try to get a good night’s sleep and you’ll be 10.s by what comes back to you in the morning!

A year later, he was leading a team of 100 scientists and engineers working on the invention.
