When I was small, my mum used to give the family something special for meals-she would make breakfast food for dinner.

I still remember one night my mum ______ some bread in front of my dad, and something was very burnt. I waited to see if anybody noticed. To my surprise, my dad just took his ______, smiled at my mum and then turned to ask me how my day at school had been. I've forgotten what I told him that night. ______ I do remember watching him put some butter on that bread. He ______ as usual, every single bit.

After dinner, my mum said sorry to my dad for burning the bread. And I never forget what he said, “ I ______ burnt bread, dear. It doesn't matter at all.”

Late that night, I went to kiss Dad good light. I asked him if he really liked his bread burnt. He held me in arms and ______,"Your mum worked very hard all day. She's really tired. And you see-a bit of burnt food never hurt anyone!”

Now I know life is not perfect._______ is perfect, either. As for me. I often forget birthdays some other special days. But I've learned something ______ over these years. What we really need is the understanding of each other, whether between a husband and wife, a parent and ______ or just between two friends. This is the key to a happy ______.

All parents always want to give the best to their children. So ______ Jeff and his wife.

Now Jeff has been terribly ______. He is recording(录音)his words so that his little son will be able ______ his voice in the future.

Jeff ______ ill in 2011. The doctor told him that he might have only two to five years to live and the illness would make him ______ his voice, so he decided to do something for his 13-month-old son.

His wife Gina said, "Jeff used to play and sing in a band, so his voice is ______ to him. I can’t imagine ______ will happen without his voice around. I would certainly like Bill to know his father's voice ______ this way.”

Jeff and his wife hope that they can save his real voice in these years for______ little son. He now spends all his weekends and evenings recording his voice. Their little son, Bill, will feel his parents' ______ when he grows up.

   Rich Americans want to spend many dollars flying into space, according to a recent survey.

Many rich Americans got bored of the things on earth. The survey said 19 per cent would like to pay $100,000 for a 15-minute trip into space.

Derek Webber said, "We made this survey in order to find out what rich people think of the space trip. " He added, "We will say these trips will cost much, but it's exciting for you to feel space weightlessness and see the world from up there.”

Webber also said if the price was $50,000, 16% more of rich people would be interested in these space trips. However, the tourists must have a strong and healthy body and get some space training first.
