Ronny looked like every other kid in the first-grade
classroom where I volunteered as the Reading Mum. However,
Ronny stood apart from his classmates in other ways. He had
a speech problem so he couldn’t ___75___ like other kids in
his grade. I worked with all the students in Ronny’s class one by one to improve their reading skills.
On the days when it was Ronny’s turn, I gave him a silent smile, and he f lew out of his chair. He sat very close to me and opened the book as if he was opening a treasure that nobody had ever seen. I watched his fingers move slowly under each letter as he tried his best to read out. Every time he ___76___ to read a word with a strange pronunciation, the biggest smile would spread across his face and his eyes would shine with ___77___.
A few weeks before the school year ended, I held an awards ceremony. I presented Ronny with a book –one of those Little Golden Books that only cost$5. Tears ran down his face as he held the book close to him and went back to his seat. I stayed with the Class for the rest of the day.
Ronny never let go of the book, not once. It never left his hands. A few days later, I returned to the school to visit. I ___78___ Ronny on a chair near the playground, the book open in his lap（大腿）. His teacher said,“He hasn’t put that book down since you gave it to him. Do you know that’s his first book he’s ever actually owned?”Keeping back my tears, I walked towards Ro nny, placed my hand on his shoulder and asked,“Will you read me your book, Ronny?”And then, for the next few minutes, he read to me more ___79___ than I’d ever thought possible from him. The pages were already dog-eared, like the book had been read thousands of times already. When he finished reading, Ronny closed his book and said with great satisfaction,“Good book!”What a powerful contribution（贡献）the writer of that Little Golden Book had made in the life of a disadvantaged child. At that moment, I knew I would get ___80___ about my own writing and do what that writer had done, and probably still does—care enough to write a story that changes a child’s life,
care enough to make a difference.

Last month some parents visited a pizza restaurant in
Florida with their children. On the door, they saw a sign
in capital letters: “NO CHILDREN.” “Why can’t we bring
our children?”, “What on earth does the owner intend to
do?!” The parents were surprised and complained
75 .
So why did the restaurant put up the sign on its door?
Troy Taylor, the own er of the pizza restaurant, found that many parents couldn’t control their children and many children couldn’t have meals quietly, which 76 other customers. Therefore, he made up his mind to ban (禁止) children from his restaurant.
Some people said that this was discrimination (歧视). Mr. Taylor, however, defended(为…辩护) his decision. He said that the restaurant was near a busy road, so there might be some 77 if the parents didn’t take good care of their children. Moreover, the restaurant served alcohol, which is not child-friendly.
Others 78 his decision. They said they were tired of noisy children in restaurants and now they could finally have a place for adults only.
79, many other restaurants have also met the same problem. Some have done nothing and others have tried to ban children during certain times of the day. There’s one restaurant in Italy which has been 80 in dealing with the problem. They rewarded well-behaved children with a family meal discount (折扣), to encourage parents to control their children.
These methods may work for a while, but it may be a long time before restaurants find a permanent(永久的) solution to this problem.

How many times has this happened to you? You’re trying to pass a crowded sidewalk, and someone talking or texting on a
cellphone slows you down, or worse, 75 you.
What if we could put these multitaskers（一心二用的人）into their own lane, freeing up half of the sidewalk for pedestrians （行人）who are paying attention?
That’s the idea behind the new show Mind Ove r Masses. The show createda separate lane on a Washington, DC sidewalk for those who wanted to look at their phones, while the other lane was for 76 walkers. It was part of a behavior experiment by the National Geographic Channel in the US.
However, th e experiment didn’t really work 77 it could have because a lot of phone users didn’t notice the markings at all. “It’s no surprise walkers didn’t notice the lanes because they were 78 looking at their phones,” said Yahoo.
Checking phones on the go is just one of a few annoying things about modern mobile phone usage. Below are some phone etiquettes（礼仪）tips provided by the Guardian. Take a look.
You shouldreplyto messages. It’s very frustrating to text a friend who takes a long time to reply, yet 79 to update their statuses（状态）on their social networking sites in the meantime.
You should pick a nice ringtone. No one appreciates it when an annoying ringtone breaks into what they’re doing.
You should not visit someone’s home and immediately ask for Wi-Fi. Do you seriously want to climb over the back of the couch, grab the router (路由器), and read the Wi-Fi password off the back of it? 80 , go to your friend’s home, drink and eat what your host gives you, and chat face to face.

My husband Bill, was diagnosed with cancer(癌症). Over the course of seven months, he went from beating me silly at tennis to needing my help to go to the bathroom.
It was the best seven months of my life. Maybe I don’t 75 mean that, but it was certainly the time when I felt most alive. I had become a respected professor, and a responsible wife. During those seven months, I came to understand that nothing would 76 more than what I had done to my husband.
When I couldn’t sleep at night, I prayed(祈祷) to God. Then I began praying it daily even if I had no difficulty sleeping, which 77 my breathing and calmed my mind.
During his last week, a relative visited. I noticed that she’d changed her appearance, but in a funny way. It was the kind of 78 I kept to myself. After she left, Bill voiced exactly what I’d been thinking, in that truthful way he had, and I found myself laughing out in my heart.
I could live with this man, even needing as much care as he does, for the next
40 years, I thought. 79 , he would be dead very soon. I will never again have that high a purpose in my life. I will try to be a little less unhappy, and a little more 80 for the small moments in life. I am a better person for caring for Bill. It was his last, best gift to me.

Mrs. Dermit, my drama(戏剧) teacher, wanted to
look for someone to play a leading role--an
energetic boy in a play. 75 , she thought that I
could act this important part. After hearing the
good news, my friend Kevin and I talked about the play happily. 76 Kevin wasn't chosen for a role on the stage, his job with helping all the actors was important to the success of the play. I told him I was a little 77 because I had a lot of lines (台词) to memorize. "You can do it." he said. I knew I could depend on him: we had been friends since the third grade, and we made
a good team.
Preparations for the play moved at a quick pace. While doing his own work, Kevin
also spent hours helping me learn my lines. He often said my lines with me by silently moving his lips. We even
78 that he could probably play my part as well as I could.
Everything was ready for the performance. However, on the day of the play, I woke up with a high fever and I couldn't perform. The play was planned to open in fewer than six hours, and we had no time to cancel it. I tried to think of a way to help. Then it hit me--Kevin knew the lines as well as I did. I called Mrs. Dermit to give her my 79 . Within a few short hours, Kevin stood on the stage in costume (戏服) and makeup. The amusing lines he had practised with me so many times made the crowd laugh and cheer. In a strange turn of events, Kevin and I had 80 the day for everyone by working as a team.
Of course, I was terribly disappointed to have missed my chance in the spotlight, but I was extremely thankful to have such a good friend.

Most films set in space are usually horror films and include
aliens in their story. Gravity(地心引力) is different and
focuses on the human drama
75 . The film’s special effects are so amazing that it is easy to believe that Gravity really was filmed in space. It took more than three years for a British team to create all of these effects.
We first meet the 76 outside of their spaceship on a spacewalk. Dr Stone,
a strong-minded mother whose daughter died in an accident, is on her first journey into space and is joined by Matt Kowalski, an experienced astronaut. Kowalski makes jokes and tells stories about his life to help Dr Stone feel less nervous about being in space.
The astronauts are soon 77 that pieces of a damaged satellite are flying
in their direction. Their spaceship is soon hit and destroyed. Dr Stone is knocked into space. It seems that she will die there. The fast moving camera work and losing 78 with the Earth makes everything even scarier(恐怖的).
79 , Kowalski saves Dr Stone and they decide to go to the nearby International Space Station and see if their escape vehicle can be used to return to the Earth. On the journey, they have trouble and are about to lose their lives in space together. Kowalski allows himself to float away to save Dr Stone.
From here Dr Stone is alone and the film explores whether she is strong enough to stay alive, or want to.
Gravity is a powerful film about a woman’s journey in a(n) 80 place. You will find it worth watching because it is not only interesting but also moving.

上海市2019年中考二英二模汇编：首字母填空 长宁 It is often said that when people go to a different country for the first time they experience culture shock’ because e___81___ is so different: the language, the food, the landscape, the social customs and lots of others! When I first set foot in the City of Leeds, England, I found myself in a c___82___ different culture from that of my own city, Guangzhou. For the first few days of my stay in Leeds I really knew about this so-called ‘culture shock’. One problem I had was with the food. Obviously Chinese people are not used to the t___83___ of British food, but mentally I was prepared for that ‘shock’. The problem I actually had was with the names of the different types of food. When I went to the university canteen it was very embarrassing: When the woman behind the counter asked me what I wanted, all I could do was to p___84___ and say ‘I want this’ or ‘I want that’. Something else which was different was the countryside. When I was sitting on the bus heading from Manchester International Airport towards Leeds, I saw through the window large f___85___ of green grass on either side of the motorway. There were no crops but green grass and beautiful trees all the way. Now and then , I could see some sheep or horses grazing（吃草）in a free way in the vast green areas. What a beautiful landscape! You probably wouldn’t see such a scene in China c___86___ in Xinjiang and Inner Mongolia because we Chinese use every piece of land to grow crops.
