She stopped at each of the rescue missions with a simple 41 . “Would you allow me to 42 this picture ?” It was a picture of the smiling , gray-haired mother with a handwritten 43 at the bottom : “I love you still…come home !”
One day the daughter wandered into a rescue mission for a hot meal . She sat 44 listening to the service , all the while letting her 45 wander over to the bulletin board . There she saw the picture and thought , could that be my mother ?
She couldn’t 46 until the service was over . She stood and went to look .It was her mother , and there were those words , “I love you still…come home !” 47 she stood in front of the picture , she wept . It was too 48 to be true .
It was night , but she was so 49 by the message that she started walking home . 50 the time she arrived it was early in the morning . She was afraid and 51 her way timidly . As she knocked , the door 52 open on its own . She thought someone must have broken into the house . Concerned for her mother’s 53 , the young woman ran to the bedroom and shook her mother awake and said, “It’s me ! It’s me ! I’m home!”
The mother couldn’t believe her eyes . They fell into each other’s arms . The daughter said , “I was so worried and 54 someone had broken in.” The mother replied gently , “No, dear . From the day you left , that door has never been 55 .”

Scientists already knew that mice make ultrasonic(超声波) sounds—noises that are too high-pitched(高音的) for people to hear 24 special equipment.

The results showed that nearly all of the mice repeated sequences(顺序) of syllables in different patterns. That’s enough to meet the definition of what scientists 27 song. But not all scientists are 28 _ that what the mice are doing is 29 singing. To prove it, the researchers must show that there’s learning involved. And, they need to __ 30 why the mice sing.
