Now, I know it's not always easy to do well in school. I know you have a lot of _     in your lives right now that can make it hard to      on your schoolwork.
I get it. I know what it’s like. My father   my family when I was two years old ,and I was         by a single mom who had to work and who struggled        to pay the hills and wasn't always       to give us the things that other kids had. There were times when I      having a father in my life. There were times when I was          and I felt like I didn't fit in.
So I wasn't always as focused as I should have been on school, and I did some things I'm not    of, and I got in more trouble than I should .And my life could have     taken a turn for the worse.
But I was      ,I got a lot of second chances, and I had the opportunity to go to college and law school and follow my      .
Some of you might not have those      . Maybe you don't have adults in your life who give you the        that you need. Maybe someone in your family has lost their job and there's not enough money to    the daily expenses. Maybe you live in a neighborhood where you don't feel safe, or have friends who are          you to do things that you know aren't right.
But at the end of the day,         the circumstances of your life are,        of those is an excuse for ignoring your homework or having a bad      in school. That's no excuse for talking back to your        , or dropping out of school. There's no excuse for not trying.

When the two mother rivers gave birth to the eastern culture, another famous culture was       on the Mesopotamian Plain美索不達(dá)米亞平原 ---- the Mesopotamian Civilization. This civilization later on developed into the cultures of the Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome. And these two are well-known as the      of the European culture. Like the Chinese culture, the European one also      waters. When the colonists of England     in America, their culture went with them over the Atlantic Ocean. So the American culture doesn't    from the European one a lot.
At the same time, the difference of the language systems    _ the cultural differences. In the East, most languages belong to the pictographic language while the Western languages are mostly based on the Latin system, for example, the one I’m using to write this paper.
Other factors like human race difference counts as well. But what’s more, as a result of the far distance and the steep險峻的areas between the East and West, the two cultures seldom     until recent centuries. So they grew up totally in their own ways with almost no      with the other.
