阅读下面短文，并根据短文后的要求答题，然后将答案填入相应的位置上。(请注意答题后的词数要求)。
[1]At the beginning of the twentieth century, many people thought that the American family was falling apart. A century later, we know that this was not the case. However, although the family is still alive in the United States, its size and shape were very different 100 years ago.
[2]In the late 1800s and early 1900s, there were mainly two types of families in the United States: the extended and the nuclear. The extended family usually includes grandparents, parents, and children living under the same roof. The nuclear family consists of only parents and children.
Today there are many different kinds of families. Some people live in “traditional” families, that is, a stay-home mother, a working father, and their own biological children. Others live in two-paycheck families, single-parent families, adoptive or foster families and so on.
[3]What caused the structure of the family to change? In the 1930s and 1940s, many families faced serious financial problems during the Great Depression and women were choosing to go to college and take jobs outside the home. As a result, the birthrate began to fall and the divorce rate began to rise. During World War II (1939-1945)，5 million women were left alone to take care of their homes and their children. ___________________, thousands of their wives had to go to work outside their home.
[4]During the next ten years, the situation changed. There were fewer divorces, and people married at a younger age and had more children than the previous generation. It was unusual for a mother to work outside the home during the years when her children were growing up. The traditional family seemed to be returning.
[5]In the years between 1960s and 1990s, there were many important changes in the structure of the family. The divorce rate doubled and the birthrate fell by half. The number of single-parent families doubled, and the number of couples living together without being married doubled again. If we can judge from history, however, this will probably change again in the twenty-first century.

He who makes no mistakes makes nothing.
Many people around us are afraid of making mistakes. They even feel it a shame to make a
mistake. That’s completely wrong. Other people, however, think that making mistakes is an
essential part of growing. They don't care about making mistakes, they just want to experiment
and obtain experience.
As a matter of fact, no one never makes any mistakes. Children would fall down many times
before they can walk and no one could become an expert until he has failed over and over again.
As far as I am concerned, being afraid of making mistakes is a mistake itself. Only through mistakes can there be discovery or progress. Thomas Edison could not have become a scientist if he had not made thousands of mistakes. Making mistakes for pursuing truth is much better than doing nothing. That is, he who makes no mistakes makes nothing.

W: What are your specials today?
M: We have our usual soup and fruit salad. The soup choices are tomato soup and mushroom soup.
(Text 2)
W: I’d like a dozen of eggs and a bottle of water, please.
M: That’s $5, please. Would you like a bag? That’s $0.2. W: Yes, please.

M: Did you notice the sign back there? It says the speed limit is down to 45 miles per hour.
W: Uh oh! I’d better slow down — I’m going 55.
M: I’m glad I mentioned it, then. We don’t want to get a ticket for speeding.

W: Hi, Jim. Long time no see. Do you remember when we hung around at the gym?
M: Yeah, last summer. We had talked a lot about going to school. We even talked about our future jobs.
(Text 5)
M: Hi, Eve. I’m at the bookstore looking for the book the biology professor told us to read.
W: Good. Have you found it? M: No, I can’t find it. I guess we will have to borrow the book from Rob.
W: If that doesn’t work out, I’ll ask the teacher tomorrow.
(Text 6)
W: Hi, John. How was your summer?
M: Great! I did a lot of exercise. It seemed you lost a lot of weight. How did you do it?
W: Remember how we used to have fast food every day? Well, I started replacing that with fruits, milk and vegetables. M: I could lose a few pounds. Would you help me?
W: Sure. First of all, you can bring almost everything from home, like an apple, some carrots and so on.
M: A lot cheaper than buying fast food. Why don’t we form a healthy food club? W: Great idea.

W: Hi, Peter. What’s up? You look upset.
M: We’re planning a trip through the western states and want to take our dog with us. We have trouble finding a hotel that allows dogs, so we’ll probably have to leave the dog at our neighbor’s house.
W: I saw a program on TV that said there were more and more pet-friendly hotels now. If a hotel advertises as pet-friendly, it means you can bring your dog.
M: I don’t think my father knows about that. Where can we find more information?
W: Peter, everything can be found on the Internet. M: Oh, yeah! I’ll do it right away.

M: Hi, I’m Mike. I just moved in next door.
W: Oh, hi. Come on in. I’m Barbara. Would you like something to drink?
M: Thanks. Some tea would be nice. I really like your tea set. Where did you get it?
W: Oh, there’s a supermarket not far from her. I bought it on sale. But there is also a tea house around the corner.
M: It’s a nice neighborhood here.
W: Yeah. You can get to the bus and the underground train stations within ten minutes’ walk. There’s a bookstore, a gym and many restaurants along the street.
M: There’s a gym nearby? I really want to go to gym as soon as possible.
W: Well, if you want, we can go together sometime. Actually I was thinking of going this afternoon, if you like, you can join me. M: That would be wonderful.
(Text 9)
W: Hello, Tom. How are you finding teaching here?
M: I get the feeling that somehow the school’s successful. The buildings and furniture are so old, yet amazingly, the students seem happy. These days you can’t compete unless you can really provide the best. That’s the trouble with these small family-owned schools. So many are taken over by large companies. They seem to offer a whole range of subjects, not just English and math.
W: I think that’s good, because they can bring together a mixture of teachers of different subjects. A geography teacher, say, might give you fresh ideas that you can apply in teaching English or math.
M: I’ve always found it a real eye-opener talking to other English teachers, because people’s methods of teaching the same subject can vary so much. Actually I sometimes feel that about classes. I feel it’s my role as the teacher to make sure we get on all right, but I can’t always do it.
W: Each class develops its own culture, and you may not be able to do anything about it. You just have to accept that you don’t get on with every class. I couldn’t get on with every class either.

W: Celine Dion has always loved to sing, and she is good at it too. Her voice has been familiar to the people in her native land of Quebec for a long time. But she was not so well known internationally, because she sang in French. She began to get wider attention in 1982 when she won an international singing award in Japan. In 1983, she was the first Canadian to have a best-selling record in France. Because Celine sang in French, she was not well known outside of France and Canada. She became an international superstar when she began singing in English in 1990. You may know some of her English songs, such as Because You Loved Me and My Heart Will Go On. Celine is admired not only for her voice, but also for her personality. She has used her star power and musical gifts to benefit a foundation which provides help for children who received a kind of disease from their parents. As of now, there is no cure for this kind of disease. Celine hopes that she will be able to call attention to the disease so that scientists can find a cure for the disease in the future.
