We ____3____ stayed up together for studying, and were each other’s partner for late-night pizza runs. Then one day after graduation, she suddenly ____4____ responding, apart from claiming she “didn’t have enough time for herself”. That breakup was the most ____5____ I’d experienced. After four years of building such a ____6____ relationship, I thought I’d at least receive a(an) ____7____ for why she wanted to end things. ____8____, I received only a brief, indirect message about self-care and-what hurt me most-a(an) ____9____.

In my memory, my father went to work every day, rain or shine. He almost never ___25___ a day, even if others could not. Meanwhile he had to ___26___the unkind laughter from others.

Today, we’re going to discuss a charming children’s classic from 1976: The Missing Piece by Shel Silverstein. Silverstein was an American writer, cartoonist and poet ___41___ for this children’s story, which has been translated into more than 30 languages.
Like many of Silverstein’s works, The Missing Piece is both ___42___ and rich with meaning. The main ___43___ of the story is a circular shape that gets around by rolling. It’s not a full circle, ___44___, as it’s missing a wedge-shaped (楔形的，V形的) piece of itself. It feels ___45___, and longs to find that missing piece of itself.
The shape goes on a(n) ___46___ to find that perfect wedge. It sings as it goes, has conversations along the way, and ___47___ the lovely scenery it passes. It meets a number of ___48___ wedges, but none of them are quite right. But finally, it ___49___ the perfect wedge. Now, the shape is a perfect circle. At first, of course, this is a ____50____ moment. Being totally round, the shape can roll ____51____ than it’s ever rolled before. Soon, though, the ____52____ of this becomes apparent. It can no longer sing clearly, it’s too difficult to stop for a nice ____53____, or it cannot roll slowly enough to take in the scenery. Being complete, it ____54____, is not such a great thing. The shape decides to place the wedge on the ground, and roll slowly away.
What can we learn from the story? To me, the ____55____ is that we feel more ____56____ when we’re incomplete. Everyone wants to find what is missing from themselves, but actually, the journey is more fulfilling than the ____57____. Rather than attempt to become perfect and whole, we should learn to cherish our ____58____ selves, with all of our wonderful imperfections. Not only is this a great lesson for children, but for ____59____ everywhere as well. It’s little wonder that The Missing Piece has remained a ____60____ for over 40 years.

There aren’t many parents who would say that raising children is easy. For many people, having children can _121_ parents to choose between career and family. Sometimes it __122__ finances — sending a child to nursery or hiring a babysitter can be a huge __123__ burden, while others may feel it’s better to be a __124__ parent. These days, more and more men are choosing to stay at home to look after their kids. So why are more dads __125__ to put their careers __126__?
With more women working outside the home than 70 years ago, if the need is__127__ for one parent to stay at home, it could simply come down to who __128__more — the biggest breadwinner. And with __129__changing towards a man’s role in the family, it seems to be _130_ for them to enter full-time parenthood.
_131_, though, many men still face shames by choosing to raise their child. A 2013 study in the US found that 51% of people thought children were _132_ off if a mother is home and doesn’t have a job, while 8% say the same about a father. But what do parents have to do when they choose to stay with their kids?
In the early stages, a baby is totally _133_on a carer. The changing of nappies and making sure they __134__on time are just some of the vital activities an infant relies on. During this period, both parents take legal _135_ from work. But as a child gets older, it can become less about __136__ and more about choice. __137__ choose a nursery, which can prove expensive, either parent may remain at home to play with and protect and __138__ their child to help them develop and grow.
It’s a difficult job, with a_139_ boss, but it can also be incredibly rewarding for those willing to do it. And with attitudes__140__ towards who should stay at home, maybe more and more fathers will choose to become stay-at-home dads.

The Pygmalion effect is a psychological phenomenon that positive expectations lead to better performance and negative expectations lead to worse performance. I taught algebra (代数) at a summer school.

The head teacher______153______ told me that he was amazed at Joey’s______154______ in the test in spite of his disabilities.
The teacher went on to explain that Joey was______155______with learning disabilities and that some “experts” said he would never be able to do math. I was______156______to hear this, because I had never found it when I worked with him!
If he had learning disabilities, then how was he able to solve the problems______157______to difficult algebra concepts with______158______after some lessons? This question has______159______me for some time. After spending______160______hours searching, I’ve found the best explanation is the concept of the Pygmalion effect.
