Peter wondered why he didn’t have many friends. The reason was he was always taking, never giving.
One day Peter told Bill, “I’d like to give a party on Saturday, I’d like you to come and bring Martha, too.” “Thanks, Peter. We’d be happy to come.” “Perhaps you’d like to bring your violin. You and Martha sing well together. I’m sure everyone will want you to sing for us.” That was how Peter began to plan his party. Next he asked another friend, Betty, to bring a cake. “You make the best cake in the world, Betty, and I like to eat your cake better than have one from the bakery.” Peter invited a few other friends to come to his party. He didn’t forget to ask something from each one of them. He even asked Jim and Mary Jackson to let him give the party at their house! They agreed.
The party was a big success. However, as the guests were leaving, they said “Thank you ” to Bill and Martha for the music, Betty for the cake, the Jacksons for the use of the house and to others for their hard work. To Peter they just said, “ Thanks for the invitation.”
61. The party was held ________ .

Dear editor,
I am not a good-looking boy and I am not good at studying, either. Some people don’t even want to talk to me. So I usually feel lonely. Sometimes I think that if I want to leave home, nobody will care. How can I stop feeling like this?
Peter
Dear Peter,
But first, I am sure that you are wrong that nobody will care if you leave your home. What about your parents? And other family members? It seems that you are very sad. You'd better go to see a doctor or talk to your parents. They can help you. Second, I'm sure there's someone in your class who feels lonely, too. You never know how other people feel inside. Try to make friends with them. Or you join a club to meet new people and to keep yourself busy.
You need to find happiness in yourself. Write a list of all the good things about yourself. Learn to like yourself, and then others will see your confidence (信心) and like you, too.
Editor
66. Peter isn’t good at _______ and he feels __________.
67. He writes to the editor to ask for _______ because he wants to _______feeling lonely.
68. If Peter joins a club, he can_______ new people and keep _______ busy.
69. The editor suggests (建议) that Tom should talk to a ________ and his ________.
