16、summer fading, when my parents drove me to my university apartment. It was my first apartment. _21_ (walk) my parents solemnly back to their car, I noticed that my mother had tears in her eyes. I _22_ (struggle) to hold back my own. Such a strong woman was she _23_ it was rare to see such a show of
17、emotion. At the time, I was rather surprised. Being the youngest of five children, I thought that my parents were accustomed to _24_ (let) go. But maybe its something that never gets any easier, _25_ _ _ many practice swings you get. As my parents drove off, I realized that they would return to an e
18、mpty home, _26_ all of their children leaving to pursue dreams and lives of their own. Their nest, full of love and joy for so long, was now empty. Relishing (憧憬) my new-found freedom, I concentrated on my college life. My parents did their best to give me space to learn and grow, even if I neglecte
19、d to call or visit. It was a time of “firsts,” and a taste of first “lasts.” I have recently been playing Travel Frog, a mobile game that has me emotionally _27_ (influence). In the game you gather resources, send your frog on his adventures and your payoff is, *drum roll please* . postcards. Thats
20、right, postcards.

Through photosynthesis (光合作用), they transform carbon dioxide into fresh oxygen. They are said to _31_ to
24、xins from the air we breathe but is this true?One famous NASA experiment, published in 1989, found that indoor plants can clean the air by removing cancer-causing pollutants like formaldehyde and benzene. Later research has found that soil micro-organisms in potted plants also play a part in cleanin
25、g indoor air.Based on this research, some scientists say house plants are _32_ air purifiers, and the bigger and leafier the plant, the better. “The amount of leaf surface area can _33_ the rate of air purification,” says Bill Wolverton, a former NASA research scientist who conducted that 1989 plant
