Yesterday, my kids and I were in the costume store, getting ready for Halloween, and they saw a Donald Trump mask. “Is he a good guy or a bad guy?” they asked.
I knew they were _______ of the most negative character — Will Ferrell in the film “Batman”, who starts good but becomes _______ over the course of the plot, so I said something about how all people have a little good and a little bad in them. Of course, I wanted to say: “Son, that man is not_______ a bad guy, but one of the worst men our species has ever_______. He had every privilege, every_______ to do good, but he chose_______.”
We have the opportunity to make this_______, every day.

She was_______ by workmen in an abandoned lot the following morning, her clothes__________, her skull (头骨) broken.

__________, grandpa didn’t seek revenge (复仇). It’s not his__________. He was the kind of guy who found a way to make a(n)__________ for himself — through excellence.
