“Hey, Dad, are you going to come to my award ceremony tonight? ”I 36 asked my father. “I have to work late tonight. I doubt I’ll be able to 37 it on time. I am just too busy right now, ”he replied.
My mind could not 38 the idea that he would be too busy working late. He was also too busy to 39 my horse show, football games and the 15th birthday party. He always used the same 40 . Why had I even bothered to ask? 41 , there was always a slight hope that tonight would be 42 .
As my mother and I arrived at school, two friends 43 me. “Jill, meet my dad. Dad, this is my friend Jill. ”I shook the hand of a tall man. Camera flashes lit up the room, and claps filled the 44 as students accepted their awards. My name was finally called, 45 three others. I followed my classmates to the 46 . When I reached out my hand to shake the 47 , a big smile lit up her face. The blinding flash from my mother’s camera 48 my eyes and I knew my dad wasn’t there. I walked back to my seat 49 .
Back at home, seeing my dad’s car in the garage, I told myself he would not be 50 . But the strong smell of alcohol （酒精）hit me as soon as I 51 inside, and I could feel my tears 52 . I followed the sound of his drunken words and saw him 53 on the couch.
54 did father lie to me? I threw my award on the floor, walked to my bedroom, and shut the door. Tears rolled down my face. I wondered if I would ever be more 55 than his whiskey bottle.

Yesterday evening I was watching the evening news on television. The news was about a 36 for scientific discoveries. The announcer, whose name was Ralph Story, 37 something that caught my 38 . “All great discoveries,” he said, “are made by people between the age of twenty-five and thirty.” Being a little over thirty myself, I wanted to 39 with him. Nobody wants to think that he is past the age of making any 40 . The next day I went to the public library, spending several hours, and 41 to find the ages of famous people and their discoveries. Ralph was right.
First I looked at some of the 42 discoveries. One of the earliest, the famous one that 43 that bodies of different weight 44 at the same speed, was made by Galileo when he was 26. Madam Curie started her research that led to a Nobel Prize when she was 28. Einstein was 26 when he 45 his world-changing theory of relativity. Well, 46 of that. Yet I wondered if those “best years” were true in other 47 .
Then how about 48 ? Surely it needed the wisdom of 49 to make a good leader. Perhaps it does, but look when these people 50 their careers. Winston Churchill was elected to the House of Commons at the age of 26. Abraham Lincoln 51 the life of a country lawyer and was elected to the government at what age? Twenty-six.
But why don’t best years come after thirty? After thirty, I 52 most people do not want to take risks or try new ways in their lives. Then I thought of those famous people 53 Shakespeare and Picasso. The former one was writing wonderful 54 at the late age of fifty, 55 the latter was still trying new ways of painting when he was ninety!

Many thousands of years ago, far off in the middle of a big ocean, miles from the nearest land, a crack opened in an undersea volcano. An explosion of red hot lava and 36 ashes burst forth. Huge black clouds flew to the 37 , the water boiled and white steam mixed with the fiery cloud.
The hot lava 38 higher and higher and spread wider and wider. In this way, slowly, an 39 rose up in the sea.
The hot lava cooled and became shining black rock. Hot sun heat down 40 the rock. Cool rains fell. Now hot, now cold, the rock split and 41 broke into pieces. In the course of time, a fine loose soil covered the island.
Nothing lived on the naked soil. But slowly, 42 the years, the island became covered with green plants. And slowly animals began to move over its beaches and hills. How did 43 get there?
This story will be about a tropical island 44 by warm seas. But the way the plants and animals came to this little bit of earth in the sea is the story of how plants and animals have spread from one island to 45 all over the world.
Around the island the wind blew, the ocean washed out and the birds flapped their 46 . The wind, the sea, and the birds were 47_ bringing life to the new island.
From the island nearest the new island, the wind picked up seed as 48 as dust, and kept them drifting(漂游)through the air. And from land near and far the 49 brought little spiders(蜘蛛)and other insects so light that they could sail on the air currents. But the wind also brought invisible living things 50 tiny to see and millions of the world’s smallest plants and the bacteria(细菌) floated in the air. Some of 51 fell on the island and multiplied(繁殖).
Although the wind brought so many living things to the island, only the plants 52 grow there at first. While many animals 53 on the island, they could find no food. A spider spun its web in vain, because there were 54 insects it could catch in its silky threads. Insects couldn’t stay until there were plants for them to 55 . So the plants had to be the pioneer life on this island.
