2．Golf has gained ppopularity （流行） among the wealthy in my country．

1．Beethoven was a talented musician，who created many pieces of music．

20．Members of the post-1990generation looking for work apply for multiple positions and hold high expectations of the jobs．They are particular about employment and it was common for them （61）to break（break） appointments for job interviews．
The only child is characteristic of the most of the families since 1990．His or her living conditions have（62）greatly（great） improved from those of the post-1980 and post-1970 generations．They don't experience much pressure in life so they pay closer attention to （63）personal（person） preferences and interests when （64）hunting（hunt） for a job．
They also does not care about the amount of money they make．（65）Instead，the working environment，the happiness they get from their work and respect from others are the things（66）that/whichmatter most．
As the saying goes，second （67）thoughts（think） are best．The post-1990generation does not think twice about leaving in their first year of work．If they lose interest in a job or are not clear about their future career path，they （68）will quit（quit） easily．
Members of the generation are also more self-centered．They want more time for （69）themselves（they） and are not willing to work overtime．Their attitude to life is more casual．
This generation is very sensitive and has a lot of self-respect，（70）sothe employers need to be concerned about their temperaments （性情） and ways of communication．

19．For a long time being happy was considered something that just happened，and there was nothing special about it．Now we know that getting along with other people is something that we can work at．It is possible to act in such a way that other people will like us better．One way is being unselfish，not wanting everything from our friends．Another way is to look for good points，not bad ones in other people．It is surprising how successful this treasure hunt can be．
You don't have to be spineless（軟弱的） in order to be popular．In fact，you will be liked and respected if you are not afraid to stand up for your rights．But do it politely and pleasantly．Being friendly and polite to your group，to other people and to strangers and especially to those who do not look important or do not interest you is one way to develop a good character．
You can not expect to be perfect，and so you must learn not to be unhappy when you make mistakes．Everyone makes mistakes，and no one is to be blamed（責(zé)備） unless he refuses to learn from them．Many young people become discouraged when they know in themselves qualities that they do not like-selfishness，laziness，and other unpleasant qualities．Just remember that we all have some of these faults and have to fight against them．
At the same time，it is important to remember that，while you are probably no worse than others，the best way to be happy is to think yourself above other people．When something is wrong，it is good sense to try to make it right．Perhaps you don't like a teacher or a classmate．Try to see why，and look at yourself，too．To be sure that you are not doing anything to make that person dislike you．Some day，things may turn out all right，and then you will have to learn to get along the best with situation，without thinking too much about it．Worrying never helps in a situation you can't change．
28．One of the two ways the author suggested for us to get along with others isD．

15．Our experience at the Children's Medical Care Center was eye-opening．We saw a lot of children without hair due to their radioactive treatment．We played with them and taught them to draw pictures．The children，though（61）suffering（suffer） such great pains，were so friendly that it was much easier to interact with them（62）thanwe had expected．
One day，（63）anincident deeply touched us．A girl suggested that she teach us how to fold paper．She taught us with great patience，explaining each step slowly and clearly．（64）Thoughwe could easily do that，we still pretended to know nothing about it．We followed her，step by step，doing everything she told us．Finally，when we finished our work successfully，she gave each of us a big hug．We could see the pride and happiness（65）onher face．Her father was so thankful to us that he held our hands tightly，tears in his eyes．And it was not until then（66）thatwe knew the girl would receive an operation the next day．
Many stories happened at the center．It was really a（67）valuable（value） experience to us all，enriching our life in a positive way．The children's happy faces and（68）theirstrong minds will stay with us forever．The days we spent at the Center inspired us boys to reflect on many things．We began to reflect on how（69）to deal（deal） with the difficulties in life，because our"troubles"seem not worth（70）mentioning（mention） at all compared with what these innocent kids are going through．

14．If you visit a supermarket in the UK in March or April，you will notice a strange thing：Shelf after shelf is filled with large，brightly-colored eggs．
Look a little （52）closer（close） and you will discover something else．These eggs aren't real．In fact，they （53）are made（make） of chocolate．And that can mean only one thing-it's Easter time again．
Easter is a festival （54）that/whichhas been celebrated in Britain for thousands of years．These days we mark the occasion （場合） by （55）giving（give） each other chocolate eggs，or Easter eggs．But what are the roots of this （56）traditional（tradition） event？
For Christian people Easter is a religious festival．According （57）tothe Bible，Jesus Christ was killed by t he Romans （58）butcame back to life three days later．That is （59）whyEaster is seen as a time of rebirth．
However，some people suggest that Easter has its origins in pre-Christian times．They say that the very earliest societies celebrated the end of winter and the beginning of spring-the time （60）when/inwhichlife returns to the land．
Whatever its origins，Easter is big business．The UK's biggest retailer （零售商） of Easter eggs sold more than 20 million units last year and some Easter eggs （61）cancost more than£20!
