Two teachers were sitting in the teachers' room. For a moment there was silence. Then one of them, Miss Smith, said, "I'm afraid I'd have to fail him! I just can’t let him   16   . "

"Now Alice," said her friend, Mrs Jackson, "is he so terrible a student?"

I've never seen such a   22   in a student."

Of course he was   24   in class and sometimes could hardly   25   awake. Miss Smith soon asked the school to give him a scholarship and he was able to devote himself to his lessons again.

The most positive(樂觀的) person I have ever seen is may dad! He is so positive that I do not  46  hearing a single word from him which is related(相關(guān)的) to hopelessness!
Unlike most mums and dads, my dad never says things that make me feel   47 . He is always there to give me encouragement and help.   48  I do wrong things, he always tells me what’s right in a positive way. For example, if I am in   49  , he often tells me to open the books he bought me. Then he asks me to read the   50  that can help me with the problems I’m facing. After that, we have a    51  together.
Even though I’m not always a good kid, my dad   52  shouts or gets angry with me. I know that he’s   53  a day—a day when I grow up and understand things in my life.
I can see the reason that he is so positive is because he believes in 54 . And he believes that whatever  55 , it is under control. So we have nothing to worry about. Be positive!
