Yesterday was my mother birthday. My father and I planned to give him a surprise. In the morning, like usual, my father and mother went to work but I went to school at eight o'clock. My mother seemed to have forgotten her birthday. At four o'clock in the afternoon my father bought  a bunch of flowers as well a lot of good food my mother likes to eat. I bought my mother large and beautiful birthday cake. When my mother got home, she was greatly surprised by what that she saw. All that we had done made her very happily. After supper, I asked my mother to sit down and watched TV. My father began to clean the floor and I set out to doing the washing-up.

    A long-term American study shows the importance of early education for poor children. The study is known as the Abecedarian Project. It involved more than one-hundred young children from poor families in North Carolina.

    Half of the children attended an all-day program at a high-quality child-care center. The center offered educational, health and social programs. Children took part in games and activities to increase their thinking and language skills and social and emotional development. The program also included health foods for the children.

    The children attended the program from when they were a few weeks old until the age of five years. The other group of children did not attend the child-care center. After the age of five, both groups attended public school.

    Researchers compared the two groups of children. When they were babies, both groups had similar results in tests for mental and physical skills. However, from the age of eighteen months, the children in the educational child-care program did much better in tests.

    The researchers tested the children again when they were twelve and fifteen years old. The tests found that the children who had been in the child-care center continued to have higher average test results. These children did much better on tests of reading and mathematics.

    A few years ago, organizers of the Abecedarian Project tested the students again. At the time, each student was twenty-one years old. They were tested for thinking and educational ability, employment, parenting and social skills. The researchers found that the young adults who had the early education still did better in reading and mathematics tests. They were more than two times as likely to be attending college or to have completed college. In addition, the children who received early education were older on average, when their first child was born.

    The study offers more evidence that learning during the first months and years of life is important for all later development.

    The researchers of the Abecedarian Project believe their study shows a need for lawmakers to spend money on public early education. They believe these kinds of programs could reduce the number of children who do not complete school and are unemployed.

—To be frank，it didn't________me much．（   ）

         The employer was5to see his good worker go and asked if he could build just one more house as a personal favor． The carpenter said yes,6over time it was easy to see that his heart was not in his work． He used bad workmanship and7materials． It was an unfortunate way to8 a dedicated（献身的）career．

When the carpenter finished  his work, his employer came to9the house． Then he handed the front-door10to the carpenter and said, “This is your house．．． my11to you．”

         The carpenter was shocked!

         What a12! If he had only known he was building his own house, he would have done it all so differently．

         .13it is with us． We build our lives, a day at a time, often putting14 than our best into the building． Then, with a shock, we 15  we have to live in the house we have built． If we could do it over, we would do it much differently．

         But, you cannot 16 ． You are the carpenter, and every day you hammer a nail, place a board, or build a wall． Someone  17said, “Life is a do-it-yourself project．” Your 18 , and the choices you  19  today, help build the “house” you will live in tomorrow． Therefore, build  20!
