Grandma called me in from the yard, "Would you please go to the store for me? I'm ready to make cakes, and there isn't enough yeast (酵母). Take a quarter from my little change 1." I found Grandma's wallet and put the quarter in my pocket.

I was soon in the little general store that 2 our farming community. "Mr Jenkins," I said, "Grandma needs some yeast." Mr Jenkins set three cakes of yeast on the counter. His eyes shone, and he 3 at me. "And what else do you need?" I knew what he meant. I was always allowed to pick a penny candy when I came to the store with Grandma. "How much 4 do I have from a quarter?" I asked. "Seven cents." Mr. Jenkins replied. I thought 5 that quickly. I would have a nickel and two pennies back. I was sure Grandma wouldn't 6 if I spent one penny, and if she were here, she might even say I could have them both. The 7 I looked at the candy display, the more certain I became that I needed two pennies' worth as a reward for coming to the store alone. And I did so.

"Thank you," Grandma said when I 8 the yeast on the table. "Did you put the change back in my wallet?" "Yes, Grandma." I replied, hurrying out to the yard. "I hadn't really lied to Grandma," I argued with myself. "I did 9 all the change I had."

But I had 10 two pennies without Grandma's permission(允许). The second piece of candy in my pocket didn't sound like a good idea any more. I knew I had lied to Grandma, and I was 11 about it. Grandma loved me so much that I couldn't bear to keep anything from her.

12 Grandma took the hot cakes from the oven, I told her about the candy. She 13 when I finished my story. "I know just 14 you feel," she said. We all feel like that when we've done 15 deceitful(欺骗的). I' m glad you told me about the pennies, and of course I'll forgive you." Grandma hugged me tightly, and suddenly I felt as though a big stone was gone from my stomach.

    My boss's daughter was studying in the Phinilippines. He asked me if my husband and I could take care of her. He thought his daughter would be able to improve her English communication skills in this way.

    After days of thinking, we agreed. He then brought her here and left after 3 days. I thought that my boss's daughter was well-mannered, but that was wrong.

    After a month of staying in the Philippines, she started to show her true colors. When my husband asked her what she wanted for breakfast, she answered him in a rude way. From then on, we experienced fights at home. There was a time when we didn't talk to her for a week as a punishment of not being good to us. What I hated most was that she didn't care about other people's feelings. She ate ahead of us when we were still working and didn't leave anything for us. So we had to separate her food from ours to avoid such a problem.

    The worst thing about her was that she shouted at us. I was wondering if she did this to her parents. We told this to her parents, but unfortunately I didn't think that solved the problem. This situation lasted for almost 8 months. Our patience was tested during that time.

    We tried to teach her everything we could to make her a better person, but I guess 8 months may not be enough. We even tried to understand her and adjust for her, but it didn't work. I just hope that she learned something from us and from other Filipinos.

    About ten men in every hundred suffer from color blindness in some way. Women are luckier, only about one in two hundred is affected in this matter. Perhaps, after all, it is safer to be driven by a woman!

    There are different forms of color blindness. In some cases a man may not be able to see deep red. He may think that red, orange and yellow are all shadows of green. Sometimes a person cannot tell the difference between blue and green. In rare cases an unlucky man may see everything in shades of green—a strange world indeed.

    Color blindness in human beings is a strange thing to explain. In a single eye there are millions of very small things called "cones". These help us to see in a bright light and to tell the difference between colors.

    There are also millions of "rods", but these are used for seeing when it is near dark. They show us shape but no color.

    Some insects have favorite colors. Mosquitoes (蚊子) prefer blue to yellow. A red light will not attract insects, but a blue lamp will. In a similar way human beings also have favorite colors. Yet we are lucky. With the aid of the cones in our eyes we can see many beautiful colors by day, and with the aid of the rods we can see shapes at night. One day we may even learn more about the invisible (看不见的) colors around us.

    Henry Royce did not like his car,  ran badly and often broke down. So he decided to make a  (good) car himself, and in 1904 he  (success) produced his first new model.

After the drive, it cost just over £2  (put) the car back into perfect condition.  is not surprising that the Silver Ghost was regarded  "the best car in the world".
