19、 her father. “Thanks, Dad.” said Susan.When she finished her picture, Susan began playing with her brush which was still wet. Then something happened. She dropped the brush right on the picture! There in the middle of her picture was a blob （污点） of brown paint!“Oh, Dad! What will I do?” Susan cried.

20、“My picture is ruined （污损）. And its too late to paint another.”“Let me see,” said her father. “The paint blob looks just like a spot on a dog.

26、aightC. imagination sometimes could turn bad into goodD. the colour “brown” looked quite nice on white paperCThere is no doubt that mothers play an important role in the lives of their children, but what about a fathers role? I believe fathers play just as important a role as mothers.Fathers give us

27、 support. They are the shore we swim to when our arms and legs feel tired. They are the strength we depend on as we take our first steps into the world. Father can be gentle and powerful, but they probably have the simplest love we ever know.For daughters, the father is the first man they admire and

28、 the first man whose eyes shine with happiness when they look at them. He is the first man to fall in love with them._, the father is their first hero and possibly the only man they will ever feel comfortable loving.For mothers, the father of our children is the person we can trust to watch over the

29、 babies as closely as we would. We are protected in the knowledge of their love.

Or is it something we have no control over, like the weather? Is it the same all over the world? Thats an easy question, you say. Wherever you go, a minute is

33、60 seconds, an hour is 60 minutes, a day is 24 hours, and so forth. Well, maybe. But in America, time is more than that. Americans see time as a valuable resource. Maybe thats why they like the expression, “Time is money.”Because Americans believe time is a limited resource, they try to keep and man

34、age it. People in the US often attend meetings or read books on time management. It seems that they all want to organize their time better. People try their best to press more life out of their time.To Americans, being on time is a way of showing respect for other peoples time. Being more than 10 mi

35、nutes late usually calls for an apology （道歉） and an explanation. People who are running late often call ahead to let others know that they cant be on time. Of course, the less formal the situation is, the less important it is to be exactly on time. At informal get-togethers, for example, people ofte

36、n arrive as much as 30 minutes late. But they usually dont try that at work.American lifestyles show how much people respect the time of others. When people plan an event, they often set the time days or weeks before it. Once the time is fixed, it is almost impossible to change it. If people want to

37、 come to your house for a friendly visit, they will usually call first to make sure it is convenient. Only very close friends will just “drop by” unannounced （未通知的）. Also, people seldom call others late at night for fear they might be in bed. The time may be different, but most people think twice ab

38、out calling after 10:00 pm.Even Americans would agree that no one can master time. Time, like money, slips all too easily through our finger. And time, like the weather, is very hard to predict.
