A young man was about to finish school. For a long time he had   26  to get a beautiful sports car. He knew his father could well   27  it, so he  told him that a sports car was all he wanted.
Then on the morning of his graduation（毕业）,he was called to his father’s room. His father told him how   28  he was to have such a fine son, and told him how   29  he loved him. He handed his son a beautiful gift box.  30 , the young man opened the box and found a lovely Bible（圣经）with his name on it. Angrily, he raised his   31  to his father and said, “With all your money you give me a Bible? ” He then   32  out of the house, leaving the Bible.
Many years passed and the young man was very   33  in business, and had a beautiful home and a wonderful family.  34  that his father was very old, he thought perhaps he should go to see him. He had not seen him   35  that graduation day. Before he could go, he received a   36  telling him that his father had died. He had to go home immediately and take   37  of the things that his father left him.
When he began to search through his father’s important
papers, he saw the still new Bible,   38     as he had left
it years ago. He opened the Bible and began to      39 
the pages. As he was reading, a car key with a tag（标牌）
dropped from the back of the Bible. On the tag was the 
  40     of his graduation, and the words “PAID IN

The weather is getting hotter. You are thirsty playing
basketball or riding home from school. A cold drink may
be just the thing. But be careful what you are drinking.
Something that looks cool may not be good for your health.
There are plenty of "energy drinks" on the market. Most of
them have beautiful colors and cool names. The lists on
them tell you they are helpful to your health. Sounds great!
  
But after a careful check you may find that most energy drinks have lots of caffeine (咖啡因) in them. These drinks are especially aimed at young people, students, busy people and sports players. Makers sometimes say their drinks make you better at sports and can keep you awake. But be careful not to drink too much.
Caffeine makes your heart beat fast. Because of this, the International Olympic Committee has limited( 限制) its use. Caffeine in most energy drinks is at least as strong as that in a cup of coffee or tea. Possible health dangers have something to do with energy drinks. Just one box of energy drink can make you nervous, have difficulty sleeping and can even cause heart problems. Scientists say that teenagers should be discouraged from taking drinks with a lot of caffeine in them.

As a child, I was really afraid of the dark and of getting lost. These fears were very real and caused me some uncomfortable moments.
Maybe it was the strange way things looked and sounded
in my own room at night that scared me so much. There was
never complete darkness, but always a streetlight or passing
car lights, which made clothes on the back of a chair take on
the shape of a wild animal. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw
the curtains(窗帘) seem to move when there was no wind. A
very low sound in the floor would seem a hundred times        
 
louder than in the day. My imagination (想象) would run wild, and my heart would beat fast. I would lie very still so that the "enemy(敌人) " would not discover me.
Another of my childhood fears was that I would get lost, especially on the way home from school. Every morning I got on the school bus right near my home. That was no problem. After school, though, when all the buses were lined up along the street, I was afraid that I would get in the wrong one and be taken to some other strange places. On school or family trips to a park or a museum, I wouldn't let the leaders out of my sight.
Perhaps one of the worst fears of all I had as a child was that of not being liked or accepted by others. Being popular was so important to me then, and the fear of not being liked was a serious one.
One of the processes(过程) growing up is being able to realize and overcome our fears. Understanding the things that scared us as children helps us achieve greater success later in life.
