My father was a highly educate, intelligent gentleman. He could debate or discuss for hours on almost any topic and hold your 31 in the process. I thought there was nothing be wasn’t 32 to do.
A few days before my younger brother’s 7th birthday, Dad planned to assemble(装配) a new 33 as a special birthday surprise. After nearly an hour of 34 the instructions, Dan was still unable to 35 the new bike together. Later he 36 the paper of instructions, 37 up his tool box, and decided to take the bike back to the local toy store and pay extra 38 to have it correctly assembled there. 39 an idea came to him, as he called out to Lovett, the quiet little man who cut our grassland.
“Lovett, have you ever assembled a boy’s bicycle?”
As Lovett walked towards the bike, Dad handed him the 40 . Lovett handed it back to him, saying, “No ,thanks. I can’t read. When you can’t read, you have to 41 .” Less than 15 minutes later, the new bicycle was 42 assembled, with no 43 parts remaining. Dad shook Lovett’s hand, patted him on the back, thanked him, and hid the bike.
On the night after my brother received his shiny new gift, Dad announced at the family dinner table what had happened several days earlier. He took great 44 in telling it over and over again-be used it as an example of thinking.
He did not prefer to illiteracy(文盲) , but strongly taught us to use our 45 , The joke was on my father, 46 he was able to turn it into a learning tool, and I liked him even more after that incident. I also gained a new 47 for Lovett. To me he had 48 been the old yard man who didn’t 49 much, but after that day, he seemed to smile broader, even walk taller, It’s amazing what a real nod of 50 can do to lift people up.

Seventeen-year-old Rivertown teenager, John Janson, was honoured at the Lifesaver Awards last night for carrying out lifesaving first aid on his neighbour after a shocking knife 36 .
John was presented with his award at a ceremony which recognized the 37 of the ten people who have saved the life of others.
John had been studying in his room when he heard 38 . When he and his father rushed outside, they 39 that Anne Slade, mother of three, had been stabbed（刺） 40 with a knife by her ex-boyfriend（前男友）. The man ran from the 41 and left Ms Slade lying in her front garden 42 very heavily. Her hands had almost been cut off.
It was John’s quick 43 and knowledge of first aid that saved Ms Slade’s life. He immediately asked a number of the 44 people for bandages（绷带）, but when nobody could put their hands on anything, his father got some tea towels（毛巾）and 45 from their house. John used these to dress the most severe 46 to Ms Slade’s hands. He slowed the bleeding by applying pressure to the wounds until the 47 and ambulance arrived.
“I’m 48 of what I did but I was just doing what I had been 49 ,” John said.
John had taken part in the Young Lifesaver Scheme at his high school. When 50 John, Mr Alan Southerton, Director of the Young Lifesaver Scheme, said, “ 51 is no doubt that John’s quick thinking and the first aid52 that he had learned at school saved Ms Slade’s life. It shows that a simple knowledge of the first aid can make a real 53 .”

This little story I’m about to tell you happened when I was 11 years old, and I’ll never forget it.
It was at my friend Jenny’s house after 36 one day, and we were doing our homework. While I was there, a friend of Jenny’s mom came over to 37. I didn’t know her name or 38 what her face looked like. I just 39 her hands, her voice and the lesson I 40 from her.
I can’t forget that she 41 her hands to introduce herself. It was so 42, I thought, rich fine skin; then I heard her saying, “Oh no, that is not 43 you shake hands. Let me teach you.” She didn’t do that at all in a condescending (屈尊的) manner. 44 that, I just remember her voice explaining the 45 of a good handshake of conveying (传达) a 46 sense of self-belief, of looking the other person in the eyes, and of making a warm 47. Hearing her friendly words, I first understand what being 48 meant.
I admired her for 49 time to teach me about one of the important things in life. I was grateful for her not talking down to me 50 I was 11 and didn’t know much. I also felt somewhat admired by the way she 51 me. It felt good to be talked to as a(n) 52, rather than as an 11-year-old child. I also 53 her telling me that if someone isn’t aware of something you should show him or her the right direction; don’t be afraid to 54 your knowledge.

My earliest bee experience took place at a summer camp. One day our teacher told us to head up the hill nearby. We all began to 31 our destination. The girls took the concrete stairs, but the boys ran 32 up the grassy hill, at the top of which sat a long wooden fence(围栏). Without 33 the boys ahead of me vaulted（跃过） over the fence bravely.
What should I do? Take the stairs and 34 a girl, or jump over the fence and look 35 ? Then I took my chance with the fence. I placed both 36 on the top and jumped, feeling uneasy. I didn’t 37 it. As I tried, my foot 38 on the top of the fence. Down I went! I landed on my backside. I tried to 39 off the accident, but then I felt something moving 40 me.

My clothes were covered with 44 . I parked myself in the camp and I was at a loss. 45 this, my teacher quickly took off all my clothes but underwear. Bees flew out of my clothes and 46 out of my mouth!
I had gained the 47 of all the campers, but I didn’t feel cool. I had been 48 almost 40 bees stings(蛰) all over my body. I learned a most 49 lesson that day. When we are led by the 50 to show off（炫耀）, we might find ourselves sitting on a beehive.

Some years ago I was offered a writing assignment that would require three months of travel through Europe．I had been abroad a couple of times， 36 I could hardly claim to know my way around the continent．Moreover， my 37 of foreign languages was 38 to a little college French．

I’ve 53 to ski at 40，and flown up the Rhine River in a balloon．And I know I’ll go on doing such things．It’s not because I’m 54 or more daring than others. I’m not. But I’ll accept anxiety as another name for 55 and I believe I can accomplish wonders．
