26、Love, joy, and the warm feeling of pulling together to get through tough times don’t cost a thing. But gifts do cost money. So, what’s a poor family to do?
When Christmas season rolled around again, I told my mother that the only thing I wanted was a pogo-stick (弹簧单高跷). However, my mother told me they were too expensive and that we simply couldn’t afford one.
On a Saturday afternoon a couple of weeks before Christmas, my mom and dad told me we needed to go to Sears to pay our-credit card bill. While my mother and I were at the counter paying the bill, my dad said, “I’ll be right back — I need to see something in the tool department.” A little later, my dad came back with a long box. I remember wondering at that very moment if it was a pogo-stick in that box.
When we arrived back at home, my dad put the box in the garage. While my parents were busy with their chores, I quietly walked out to the garage and found the box. I was so excited and I knew that as soon as I opened that magical box my bright, shiny pogo-stick would appear. No such luck! Inside the box was a silly old broom. And so Christmas morning was both great and disappointing. I got some nice gifts but I didn't get the present that I really wanted.
After all the wrapping paper was cleaned up my dad said he needed to tend to something in the garage. When he came back in, he was carrying a beautiful pogo-stick. I couldn’t believe it! My parents probably got quite a laugh from the trick they played on me.
Although we didn’t have much money, my parents gave me the most important gift of all: lots of love. My dad worked hard to provide for us and my mother knew how to stretch a dollar. That was over 60 years ago and I still think about those wonderful Christmas memories every year during the holiday season. My parents were the best and I will never forget all the joy they brought into my life.

27、The secret to work-life balance will differ depending on your field of work, family structure and finances. 【1】 Understanding the work-life truths will help you find your own work-life balance — and then keep it. Let’s get started!
Look inside yourself.
The first step to finding work-life balance is to look inside yourself and admit the mixed feelings you may have about working or being a mother or the other roles that are influencing your schedule. 【2】 Now’s the time to let go of those bad feelings — and perhaps also the people who bring out those feelings in you.
【3】
The next important stage of work-life balance is to be honest when looking at your employment situation. Are you in a field where work-life is discounted as impossible? Does your employer have unrealistic demands? It might be smart to explore working elsewhere, move to a more family-friendly employer or simply negotiate a better schedule.
Let go and say no.
You must prioritize to be successful as a working parent. 【4】 So instead, pick out the most important tasks for you to do, choose someone to do some other things and let the rest go. Your children will survive their childhood without homemade cupcakes for every birthday or a hot lunch sent to school every day.
【5】
Possibly the most important thing of work-life balance is to make the most of the time that you do have with your family and friends. Don’t waste those valuable moments feeling guilty or worrying about work projects that you can’t control. Live every moment to the fullest!
A.Enjoy your life.
B.Rethink your work situation.
C.Make the most of your job.
D.Are you filled with guilt or self-pity?
E.Be honest about your schedule.
F.But some work-life balance principles are universal.
G.There simply isn’t enough time in the day to get everything done.
28、An acquaintance has something in common with you and merely enjoys your company for a short time. A fair-weather friend flatters (讨好)you when the sun is shining and the birds are singing. 【1】They would never do the following things.
Walk away when times get tough. True friendship is all about how a person helps another person when they are down and can give very little in return. Thus, take note of who remains in your life when times get tough. Seriously,when you come out the other side of a difficult period in your life, look around you. 【2】
Hold hatred (憎恨)over your head. Some people will refuse to accept that you are no longer who you used to be—that you made mistakes in the past,learned from them, and moved beyond them. 【3】 Instead,they help you repair your present and future.
Pretend like they have all the answers. You may think about the people who have had the greatest positive effect on your life—the ones who truly made a difference. 【4】 True friends are the ones who sit silently with you when you need a moment to think. They'd always lend you a shoulder when you need to cry.
【5】 You deserve to be with friends who make you smile—friends who don't take you for granted and won't leave you hanging. When you notice that a friend is always taking advantage of you instead of offering help when you need,you might need to distance yourself from them for a while. A true friend should want to give,but they shouldn't be forced to always give more than they get.
A.Let you down.
B.Take from you without giving back.
C.The people still standing beside you are your true friends
D.True friends never hold the unchangeable past against you.
E.True friends love and appreciate each other just the way they are.
F.A true friend,on the other hand,has your very best interests at heart.
G.However, you’ll soon realize that they aren’t the ones that tried to solve all your problems.
29、 Fishing is a great family sport, and a fun summertime activity. 【1】. If you have never fished before it can seem very complicated. Expert fishers know when and where to find certain fish and the best technique to catch each fish. Expert knowledge comes from years of experience. 【2】.
As a beginner you will want to use a technique called "Bait(鱼饵)Fishing". 【3】 You will need some basic fishing equipment, which you can get at almost any outdoor gear store. You will have to have a rod and fishing line, hooks, some bait and if you are planning on keeping the fish you will need something to store the fish.
The best way to learn how to fish is to learn from someone who already knows, so when planning your fishing trip, be sure to bring along someone who has fished before. 【4】, you will need to decide where to go fishing. Probably for the first time you will want to go to a local lake, where the water is calm and there are plenty of fish. You should also try to research the different types of fish that live in the place you decide to fish, so you know what types of bait they like to eat and what you want to do with the fish once you have caught it.
【5】, you probably want to clean the fish, then store it before continuing fishing. If you want to release the fish, be extra careful when removing, the hook, so it doesn't get hurt too badly, then gently hold the fish in the water and allow it to swim away out of your hands.
Now you have a very basic understanding of fishing. Take some time to learn from an expert and you will be able to, catch all types of fish using a wide variety of methods.
A.At this point you will need to determine if you want to keep the fish
B.After you have decided to go fishing
C.Once your hook and bait is in the water.
D.If you want to keep the fish
