2、    It’s nine o’clock on a Tuesday night．You are trying to finish your maths assignment．

You have only two problems left to go．Almost done！You are looking forward to a nice snack and your favorite TV show．You read the next problem and groan．You don，t have a clue how to do it ．You may check your notes from class ．Or you may try reading your text-book ．But the problem might as well be written in a foreign language．

    Years ago there were very few ways to get help if you were stuck on a maths problem. Maths is different from other school subjects．You often cannot find what to do in a book．A dictionary or even an encyclopedia（百科全書）probably won’t help you．You need someone to show you the steps．Learning most kinds of maths is something like learning to play a musical instrument．You need a coach to show you what to do．

    Today you can also get help on the Internet．There are several homework help programs and Web pages ．In some，you leave your question on a message board．Or you write it in an e-mail note．In other maths-help programs there are live volunteer teachers．You can wait for a real maths teacher to help you do the problem．

1、 

 One windy spring day, I observed young people having using the wind to fly their kites. Multicolored 36 of varying shapes and sizes filled the bright skies like beautiful birds darting and 37 .As the strong wind blew against the kites , a 38 kept them in control.

Instead of 39 away with the wind, they arose against it to achieve great 40 . They shook and pulled, 41 the controlling string and the long tail 42 them in tow(受支配),facing upward and against the wind. As the kites 43 and trembled against the string ,they seemed to say ,“Let me go! Let me go! I want to be 44 !” They soared(翱翔)beautiful even as they fought the restriction of the string. 45 , one of the kites succeeded in breaking loose.“Free at last”, it seemed to say,“Free to fly with the wind”.

Yet freedom from 46 simply put it at the 47 of an unsympathetic breeze . It dropped ungracefully to the ground and 48 in a wild mass of weeds and string against a dead bush.“Free at last” free to lie powerlessly in the dirt , to be blown 49 along the ground ,and to lodge lifelessly against the first obstruction.

How much like kites we sometimes are. The Heaven gives us adversity and restrictions ,rules 50 from which we can grow and gain strength.Control is a 51 counterpart to the winds of oppositions. Some of us tug at the rules so hard that we 52 soar to reach the heights we might have obtained. We keep part of the commandment and never rise 53 enough to get our tails off the ground.

Let us each rise to the great heights，54 that some of the controls that we may be unhappy under are actually the steadying force that helps us 55 and achieve．
