A boy was walking home from school when he saw a large, tempting （诱人的）apple on one of the branches of an apple tree hanging out over a tall fence. The boy wasn’t much of a fruit-eater,
36 a bar of chocolate if given the choice, 37 , as they say, the forbidden fruit can be tempting. Seeing the apple, the boy wanted it. The more he looked at it, the
38 he felt and the more he wanted that apple.
39 as high as he could, but even as his tallest
40 he was unable to touch It. He began to
41 up and down , as high as he could, at the
42 of each jump stretching his arms to get the apple . Still it remained out of
43 . Not giving up , he though , if only he had something to 44 on . His school bag wouldn’t give enough height and he didn’t want to
45 the things inside , like his lunch box , pencil case , and Gameboy. Looking
46 , he hoped he might find an old box , a rock , or ,
47 luck , even a ladder , but it was a tidy neighborhood and there was nothing he could use. He had tired everything he could think to do.
48 seeing any other choices , he gave up and started to walk
49 . At first he felt angry and disappointed thinking about how hungry he had become from his
50 , and how he really wanted that apple . The more he
51 like this , the more unhappy he became.
52 ,the boy of our story was a pretty smart guy, even if he couldn’t always get what get he wanted .He started to say to himself . This isn’t
53 ,I don’t have the apple and I’m feeling miserable as well.There’s
54 more I can do to get the apple-that is unchangeable-but we are supposed to be able to
55 our feelings. If that’s the case, what can I do to feel better?
