    This is a true story. Debbie and her husband, Billy, had an {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (argue) about another woman—his mother. "You two haven't had dinner together for so long," Debbie said.

    Billy replied, "My busy job casts most of my time. My mother will be happy w{#blank#}2{#/blank#} she meet you and the two lovely granddaughters."

    "But you are the son and tomorrow is Mother's Day. I {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (order) for you both at Fashion Restaurant for tomorrow at 7: 00 p. m." his wife said. 'Tell mother {#blank#}4{#/blank#} the dinner."

    "Hello, mon, would you like to go to the Fashion Restaurant tomorrow night for dinner? You know, it's Mother's Day." Hearing this, his mother felt very {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (worry). She thought maybe {#blank#}6{#/blank#} was something wrong with them." Don't worry, Mom," the son explained. "The family is great. I just think it'll be fun if only two of us go out, like we d{#blank#}7{#/blank#} in the old day."

    The next day Billy picked up his mother {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (happy). They drove to the restaurant and sat at the same table they sat 30 years ago.

    Peter was the best table tennis player in his school and hardly ever lost a match. He hated losing anything. When he {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (win), he would feel really good. If he lost, he would feel terrible. It seemed to Peter that losing was {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (bad) thing in the world.

    A new kid, Albert, came to Peter's school. He was good at table tennis, too. Soon there would be a match {#blank#}3{#/blank#} Peter and Albert. Peter worked hard {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (get) ready for the match, but Albert didn't seem to think much of {#blank#}5{#/blank#}. When the match began, Albert was a real player. There was always a smile on his face while Peter looked serious all the time. Peter thought it was {#blank#}6{#/blank#} important to win the match that he even wanted to cheat(舞弊), but he lost in the end. "You played very well, Peter. I wonder {#blank#}7{#/blank#} we can play again sometime," said Albert.

    But Peter didn't feel happy and couldn't fall asleep that night.

    One day, Peter saw Albert playing basketball. {#blank#}8{#/blank#} he lost again and again, the happy smile never left his face. Peter found Albert was great at table tennis but bad at basketball. However, he enjoyed {#blank#}9{#/blank#} of them. Whether he won or lost the game, Albert enjoyed it. Peter came to realize that {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (enjoy) a game was much more important than winning or losing it. He felt happier than ever before.
