A boy was walking home from school when he saw a large, tempting (誘人的)apple on one of the branches of an apple tree hanging out over a tall fence. The boy wasn’t much of a fruit-eater, 1 a bar of chocolate if given the choice, 2 , as they say, the forbidden fruit can be tempting. Seeing the apple, the boy wanted it. The more he looked at it, the 3 he felt and the more he wanted that apple.
4 as high as he could , but even as his tallest 5 he was unable to touch it. He began to 6 up and down , as high as he could, at the 7 of each jump stretching his arms to get the apple . Still it remained out of 8 .
Not giving up , he though , if only he had something to 9 on . His school bag wouldn’t give enough height and he didn’t want to 10 the things inside , like his lunch box , pencil case , and Gameboy . Looking 11 , he hoped he might find an old box , a rock , or , 12 luck , even a ladder , but it was a tidy neighborhood and there was nothing he could use .
He had tried everything he could think to do . 13 seeing any other choices , he gave up and started to walk 14 . At first he felt angry and disappointed thinking about how hungry he had become from his 15 , and how he really wanted that apple . The more he 16 like this , the more unhappy he became.
17 ,the boy of our story was a pretty smart guy, even if he couldn’t always get what he wanted .He started to say to himself :This isn’t 18 , I don’t have the apple and I’m feeling miserable as well. There’s 19 more I can do to get the apple that is unchangeable-but we are supposed to be able to 20 our feelings. If that’s the case, what can I do to feel better?
