浙江省东阳中学2012届高三5月模拟考试英语试题(2)

   One day when they were at school, I spent some time  25  their rooms. On their desks, in plain   __26  , I left the cards: “Dear Bill (the other card was   27   to Sarah), your room was messy this morning and I’m sure you like it clean. Love, the Room Fairy.”   28   arriving back, the children were   __29   excited to receive the little note from the Room Fairy. The next day, their rooms were fairly tidy. Sure enough, there was another note from the Room Fairy ___30   for them, thanking them for their nice “gift” of a clean room and   31   asking them to play a certain violin   32  . Each day, thank--you notes would be written differently to keep the ideas   33  .
   Sometimes the Room Fairy would propose a little   34  : “If you can finish your homework and   __35   your lessons before dinner, I’ d like to watch a particular television program with you tonight.” Sometimes some colored markers or other little items would be left in   36  of  well done jobs the day   ___37  .
      38   I can’t remember how long “the Room Fairy” continued leaving her love notes. When they were age appropriate, we used various versions of Post-Its(贴条). The bathroom mirror became the   39   centre of our home. Appointments, notices about visiting relatives, lesson schedules, and changes in plans could be posted.
   We all benefited from and   40  the idea of sharing reminders and daily details of life through notes. I believe the true advantage of the Room Fairy notes survives in our frequent and enjoyable communication.
