“Ordinary”was the worst word my mother could find for anything.

I remember her taking me 1 and taking no 2 of the shop assistants when they suggested that 3 dress or pair of shoes was very 4 --“we've sold fifty already this week”. That was all she needed to hear.

“No”，she would say，“we're not 5 in that. Haven't you got something a little more unusual?” And then the assistant would 6 out all the strange colors no one 7 would buy. And later she and I would 8

because I wanted to be ordinary but my mother wanted to be

9 .

I can't stand that hairdo(发型).“she said，when I went to the 10 with my friend and came back 11 a boy haircut，”It's so terribly ordinary.“Not ugly，not unsuitable. But ordinary...”

“12 you please wear something else.”I asked one day when she was dressing for Parents' Day in tight-fitting bullfighter's pants and a bright pink sweater.

“What's wrong with 13 I'm wearing.”

What wasn't wrong with it!

“It's just that I wish you'd wear something ordinary，”I said，“something that people won't 14 at.”

She looked at me angrily and then said，“Are you ashamed of your own mother? If you are，Isadora，I feel sorry 15 you，really do.”

When July comes，children know they’ll have 1 examinations and the school year will end soon. Boys and girls will have a nearly two months’holiday，and they’ll leave school 2 train or by car to 3 to see their fathers and mothers.

The summer holidays are the 4 time of the year for most children. The weather is usually good， so one can 5 most of his time playing outside. If one lives in the country， he can 6 into the woods and in the fields. If one lives in a big town， he can usually go to a park to play. The best place for a summer holiday is the 7 . Some children are 8 enough to live near the sea. But for the others who do not，if they have the chance to stay at one of the big seaside towns for a week or two， they will talk about it all the following school year.

Now，9 makes children like the seaside so much? I think it is the sand，the sea and the sun，not anything else. Of course，there are 10 new things to see，nice things to eat，and interesting things to do. But the feeling of sand under their feet，of salt water on their skin，and the feeling of the warm sun on their backs make them happier.

“Wonderful!” Sam answered. “Just WONDERFUL! This is a fine day.”Mr. James smiled. He took a seat. As he looked 5 the window，he still smiled.

At 6 stop a man came running up. He was puffing(气喘吁吁). “I have to-puff-catch a train at seven，”he said. “Can you-puff-get me to the station?”

“Now，just sit down and rest，”said Sam. “I'll drive a little 7 . We will be there in time. Then you 8 run again.”

“Thank you.” said the man. He sat down.

Sam did drive just a little faster. He got to the station before seven! “Thank you，”said the man，as he got off the bus. “You are the best bus driver in the city!”

As he drove on，Sam 9 talking again. By this time，many people were on the bus. They were all going to work. But Sam made the ride seem like fun. “It is now ten minutes after seven，”Sam called out.

“The sky is blue. It will not rain today. We all like sunshine，don't we?”

He began to sing，“I love you，Mr. Sunshine. I love you，Mr. Sun. In all the world I love you best. You are the only one.”

“What is that song，Sam?” a girl asked.
