A couple have been living together for 30 years. On the 30th anniversary of【小题1】(they) marriage, the wife has baked the bun(圆面包)as usual. She baked it every morning,【小题2】was a tradition. During the breakfast, she cut it across, buttered both【小题3】(side) and as usual gave the top to the husband, but her hand stopped halfway.

She thought, "On the day of our 30th anniversary, I want to eat this rosy part of the bun. I【小题4】(dream) about this for 30 years. Finally, I was a good wife for 30 years and raised good sons for him. I put so much effort and health for the well-being of our family." So she made【小题5】decision and gave the bottom of the bun to her husband, but her hands trembled-【小题6】(break) the 30-year-old tradition!

Her husband took the bun so【小题7】(excite) and said to her, "What a wonderful gift you gave me today, my dear! It has been 30 years. I did not eat my favourite-the bottom part of the bun, because I thought that it rightfully【小题8】(belong) to you."

It's not diamonds and flowers that can give us happiness in daily life,【小题9】the little things-and taking these small simple steps over time will produce【小题10】(big) and happier results.

Jim was shopping for a gift for his wife Della. The next day would be Christmas. With an income of twenty dollars per week, life was hard for the couple, 【小题1】 Jim wanted to buy a perfect gift for Della. He thought of the beautiful set of combs on show in one of the shop 【小题2】 (window) on Broadway. Della had wanted those combs for so long. Tomorrow, Jim decided he 【小题3】 (make) Della's dream come true.

Jack wanted to find a job in the summer vacation after graduation from high school, so every morning he read the【小题1】(classify) ads in the newspaper. He scanned even the smallest ad. One morning his patience paid【小题2】when he noticed an ad which said: “An executive wants a boy 【小题3】 (assist) in his office. He should at least be a high school graduate.”

Jack cut the ad 【小题4】quickly took a bath. He put on a clean suit,【小题5】(brush) his short hair neatly, and proceeded to the office. When he reached there, the office was filled with young people. He felt he had a very slim chance. Very soon the office became empty and Jack found 【小题6】(he) being interviewed by the executive. Finally, he was told to report at eight o'clock the【小题7】(follow) morning, which meant he got the job.

After Jack left, the manager asked the executive, “What made you select that boy who didn’t have a【小题8】(recommend)?” “That is where you are mistaken,” explained the executive. “Before entering the office, he wiped his feet and closed the door【小题9】(quiet). It shows he is careful and gentlemanly. I noticed that he stood up instantly and offered his seat to【小题10】old man who entered the office. It shows he is kind and considerate. And we had a good talk. This is the boy I need.
