The book is fun to read. Even today, it is quite popular among children. And although I am in my thirties, the novel remains one of my 21 . After reading the book recently, I learned an important lesson from Tom Sawyer. In our daily lives, we are often 22 boring or tiring tasks. Let’s be honest: What’s in your mind when your mom tells you to mop the floor? Have you ever wanted to complain? I think most of us have. Tom Sawyer, 23 , thought “differently” when he was given a boring task. 24 a Saturday morning, Aunt Polly told Tom to paint the fence. Tom’s friend Ben 25 to walk past. Instead of complaining, Tom told Ben that he felt “excited” about the task. “Only one in a thousand— maybe even two thousand— boys can do this,” Tom said. “I enjoy it very much!” Tom’s words made Ben 26 in the task. He even gave Tom his apple 27 he could have the chance to paint the fence. If Tom had thought about nothing but complaining, he would have had a bad day painting the fence. Tom thought differently in order to trick others into working for him. Yet the story taught me a 28 lesson: complaining is useless. The next time you are given a boring or tiring task, don’t complain. Unlike what happens in the story of Tom Sawyer, it is almost impossible that 29 will come and do the work for you. However, without complaining, you’ll feel 30 and perhaps even do a greater job. Use your head, and you’ll surely find more ways. ( ) 21. A. favor B. favorite C. favorites D. favorable 22.
