The day before Father’s Day, Mrs. Berry asked her students to __36  ___ a card for their fathers. She passed out paper and pieces of cloth.

       “Elizabeth, that was the  48  card in the whole class. It was so  49   that it made me cry.”

       Elizabeth was so  50  that she ran out of the classroom.

       When her mom came home from work that night, Elizabeth  51  to give her the card early.

       On the front of the card was a  52  of Elizabeth’s mom, with a blue piece of cloth cut like her hair. Inside the card she had written:

WASHINGTON — President Obama and his wife, Michelle, handed out Halloween treats to area children and military families at the White House Sunday evening．

       Local students between 6 and 14 years old, along with children from military families, were invited to celebrate Halloween on the North Lawn．

       The first couple joked to assembled reporters about children walking the long driveway in order to work off （消化掉） the snacks．"This is the Let's Move method of trick-or-treating （不給糖就搗蛋）," Obama said, referring to Mrs．Obama's campaign to combat childhood obesity （肥胖）．

       The goodie bags contained a box of White House M&Ms, a cookie made by pastry chef （點(diǎn)心師） Bill Yosses, and dried fruit．

       Multicolored pumpkins and gourds lined the driveway — individually, in gravity-defying stacks and as part of a large mound over 5 feet tall．Pumpkin-headed scarecrows （稻草人） made of cornstalks loomed over the path with menacingly raised arms．Under the White House portico, a mobile resembling bats flying through clouds fluttered around a lantern．

       Some of the local trick-or-treaters were students at Bancroft Elementary, which helps tend the first lady's White House garden, and Tubman Elementary, which has a relationship with the White House chefs．

       After trick-or-treating ended, the Obamas stood near the front door, welcoming the military families inside, helping children climb the short flight of steps and thanking parents for their service．

The nervous-looking young man had waited for a few moments—outside the jeweller’s before he got enough courage to enter. He was warmly greeted by a young assistant. James felt a rush of blood to his face as he explained he would be bringing in his future wife to choose a birthday present. The assistant listened carefully and told him he’d better buy a necklace. He wasn’t used to buying jewellery and was a little worried about over-spending. After some discussion about a reasonable price and the type, the assistant showed him dozens of necklaces and helped him to choose. At last James chose one and left the shop promising to return at five o’clock. When, half an hour later than planned, James did return to the shop with his future wife, Laura, the assistant acted as if she had never seen him before. When she was asked to show them some necklaces, she first brought out some inexpensive ones for them to choose, and then gave them the one she had prepared. A choice was soon made and they went away satisfied. James would certainly come back to buy what he wanted when he got married.
