The letter was a great disappointment to me. It was from Holy Cross, the only school I really wanted to 21 . I scanned the page, “…. We had a great applicant pool this year. …We can’t offer spaces to 22 … and place you on our waiting list.”
“What does it say, honey?” my dad asked, his voice full of 23 for me.
“I didn’t get in, but I’m on the waiting list.”
“Well, at least it isn’t 24 ,” he said brightly.
“Yeah, but 25 , I don’t want to be on the waiting list; I want to be 26 . No one gets in off the waiting list. It’s a way of saying ‘Thanks for 27 ’.”
“Then let’s go out there and tell them so.”
“That sounds lame（站不住脚的）, dad.” I said sadly, “It doesn’t 28 ,.”
Upset and annoyed, I 29 myself in my room. However，my father’s advice kept 30 in my head. I thought about it for a few days, finally coming to the 31 that he was right. And the next day I seated myself across from Mr. Luis Soto, my admissions officer.
“What can I do for you, Nacie?” he asked pleasantly.
“Well, sir, I am here to tell you that I love this school and would love a 32 to be here. I just wanted to tell you how much going here would 33 to me—it is my only dream college— and that I would use my time here to the best 34 . I wanted to let you know that if you gave me a chance and reconsidered my application, you wouldn’t 35 it.” The words had poured out 36 I could stop them or check their desperate tone.
Mr. Soto looked me over for a minute before he smiled broadly.
“OK, that is the kind of thing we love to hear. Congratulations, you’re in.”
It was so 37 and I asked, “I’m sorry?”
“We want people in the class who want to be here, who will 38 the best of this education. I’m glad you came to talk 39 to me. I’m happy to offer you a position in the Class of 2009.”
The whole experience taught me a lesson: if you truly want something, never, ever 40 .

Members of an elephant family may be out of sight but they are always in the minds of their leaders. Tests have found that female elephants are able to remember the whereabouts of 21 17 family members and perhaps as many as 30. They can know which of their relations are 22 of them when the herd searches 23 food, which of them are lagging behind and 24 are travelling in separate groups.
Professor Richard Byrne said that the elephants performed an impressive skill of 25 by being able to recall where each of their relatives was in a changing environment. “It’s hard enough for us to keep track of two 26 three children in a busy shopping centre.” he said.
Researchers tested the ability of African elephants to remember where each family member had got to by 27 their behaviour while sniffing (嗅) urine (尿). Elephants have poor eyesight but an excellent 28 of smell and are able to 29 one another from traces of urine on the ground.
To test the memories of the elephants, samples of urine-soaked earth were 30 and placed in positions where a herd was about to pass. Observations showed that the 31 exhibited (表现出) surprise when they could detect the 32 of a family member they knew was behind them. Interest was shown when the urine was 33 of a close relative travelling in the 34 group or in a separate herd, but samples left by unknown individuals were ignored.
Evidence has suggested that 35 have good long-term memories but the study suggested that the ability to 36 where a female relative 37 be found was much more important.
The researchers 38 : “It seems that female elephants have a general 39 in monitoring family members with whom they are travelling. Elephants’ order of travelling often changes and ‘overtaking’ is common, suggesting that elephants must 40 update their expectation of where others are in relation to themselves.”

With changing times and 32 influences, youngsters no longer know what is interpreted as disrespect to elders．Youngsters should 33 express their views and if there are arguments, they should not 34 their voices．
If there is no space on sofas or chairs, children will immediately 35 their places, and sit on the carpet．In buses and trains, youngsters are 36 to give up their places to older people．This is not a 37 of who has more rights．It is simply that those who are younger have the strength to bear 38_, or tolerate unpleasantness, so it is natural to show consideration to those who are older and perhaps at a 39 disadvantage．
