(2024·扬州中考改编)Even though my grandfather was a farmer, my grandmother would iron his work clothes every day. Grandmother mixed up her own starch(淀粉浆)in a glass b______ with a metal cap that had several holes. She sprinkled(撒)Grandfather’s jeans with the starch, hung them over a chair for a few minutes, and then ironed them.
Because I watched her do this through my childhood, I thought every old woman did it. But as the years passed, I began to q______ this practice. Why did Grandfather need his work clothes ironed? Most days, he never saw anyone b______ me and maybe a few other farmers. The clothes became dirty in just a short time. Why did Grandmother s______ spend time and effort ironing Grandfather’s clothes that were seen only a few times?
One day when I was about 13, I asked Grandmother about it. She told me Grandfather was the most handsome man in the world. Later that day, I looked c______ at Grandfather. He sure didn’t look so handsome to me. He was short and fat with false teeth(假牙). Later I told her my thought.
She gave me a girlish smile and said, “You just aren’t l______ in the right light, Cathy. I remember when he had r______ teeth. He has the most beautiful eyes I have ever seen. They are exactly the s______ colour as the sky just before the sun goes down. I want the world to see my husband as the most beautiful man. I want him to feel beautiful. I iron his clothes every day because for all these years, he has made me feel b______ too.”
The years went on, and I watched Grandmother and Grandfather grow old together. I was probably 30 when I u______ what beauty really was. It was Grandmother ironing Grandfather’s jeans with starch from a glass bottle.

Dear Simon,
Table tennis is a good sport, but please wear right clothes and shoes when you play it.I think you can wear white cotton sports clothes. The sports clothes are light and comfortable. And white can make you look clean and smart. At the same time, you can wear white and red trainers. They are soft. They also match the white sports clothes well. They are fit for playing sports. Before you play table tennis, you should jog for five minutes to get ready for it. And you should have a rest when you're tired. Too much exercise isn't good for your health.
I hope you will enjoy the sport.
Yours,
Li Ping
