When I was a child, my mom liked to prepare food for dinner, every now and then. And I remember one night in 41 when she made dinner after a long, hard day at work.
That Monday evening so long ago, my mom 42 a plate of eggs, sausage, and extremely burnt toast (土司) in front of my dad. I remember 43 to see if dad noticed! 44 all my dad did was reach for his toast, smile at my mom, and ask me how my day was 45 . I don’t remember what I told him that night, but I do remember watching him 46 butter and jelly (果凍) on that toast and eat every 47 !
When I got up from the 48 that evening, I remember hearing my mom 49 to my dad for burning the toast. And I’ll never forget what he said: “Baby, I love 50 toast.”
Later that night, I went to kiss Daddy goodnight and I asked him if he 51 liked his burnt toast. He 52 me in his arms and said, “Son, your mum put in a 53 day at work today and she’s very 54 . Besides, a little burnt toast never 55 anyone!”
Actually, life is full of imperfect things and imperfect people. We can’t be 56 at everything we do. What I’ve learned over the years is that learning to 57 each other’s faults and choosing to celebrate each other’s 58 is one of the most important keys to creating a healthy, growing, and lasting 59 .
If you learn to take the good, the bad, and the ugly parts of your life as they are, you can 60 your life to the fullest.

Meat and vegetables are measured in grams and kilograms. Milk and other liquid foods are measured in litres or millilitres.

Baloney is a kind of sausage that many Americans eat often. The word also has another meaning in English. It is used to describe something, usually something someone says that is false or wrong or foolish. Baloney sausage comes from a name of the Italian city Balonia. The city is famous for its sausage, a mixture of smoked, spiced meat from cows and pigs.
But baloney sausage does not taste the same as beef or pork alone. Some language experts think this different taste is responsible for the birth of the expression“baloney”.“Baloney”is an idea or statement that is nothing like the truth. In the same way that baloney sausage tastes nothing like the meat that is used to make it.
“Baloney”is a word often used by politicians to describe the ideas of their opponents. The expression has been used for years. Fifty years ago, a former governor of New York State, Alfred Smith, criticized some claims by President Franklin Roosevelt about the successes of the Roosevelt administration. Smith said,“No matter how thin you slice it, it is still baloney.”
A similar word has almost the same meaning as“baloney”. It even sounds almost the same. The word is“blarney”. It began in Ireland about 1600. The lord of blarney castle near Cork agreed to surrender the castle to British troops. But he kept making excuses for postponing the surrender. And he made them sound like very good excuses. This is just more of the saying“blarney”.
The Irish castle now is famous for its Blarney Stone. Kissing the stone is thought to give a person special powers of speech. One who has kissed the Blarney Stone, so the story goes, can speak words of praise so smoothly and sweetly that you believe them even when you know they are false.
A former Roman Catholic bishop of New York City Fortin Shin once explained,“Baloney is prayed so thick it cannot be true, and blarney is prayed so thin we like it.”
Another expression is“pulling the wool over someone's eyes”. It means to make someone believe something that is not true. The expression goes back to the days when men wore false hair or wigs similar to those worn by judges today in British courts. The word“wool”was a popular joking work for hair. If you pull the man's wig over his eyes he could not see what was happening. Today, when you pull the wool over someone's eyes he cannot see the truth.

[ ]

B．It's a mixture of smoked, spiced meat from cows and pigs.
C．It's an idea or statement that is nothing like the truth.
D．It's nothing but meat.
