“You don’t owe me anything,” she 35 . “Mother has taught me never to accept pay for a 36 .” He said, “Then I thank you from the bottom of my heart.” As Howard Kelly left that house, he not only felt stronger 37 , but it also increased his faith in God and human race. He was about to give up and quit before this point.
Years later the young woman became critically ill. The local doctors were baffled. They finally sent her to the big city, where specialists can be called 38 to study her rare disease. Dr. Howard Kelly, now 39 , was called in for the consultation. When he heard the name of the town she came from, a strange light 40 his eyes. Immediately, he _ 41 and went down through the hospital hall into her room.
_42 in his doctor’s gown he went in to see her. He 43 her at once. He went back to the consultation room and _44 to do his best to save her life. From that day on, he gave 45 attention to her case.
After a long 46 the battle was won. Dr. Kelly 47 the business office to pass the final bill to him for approval. He looked at it and then wrote something on the side. The bill was sent to her room. She was afraid to open it because she was 48 that it would take the rest of her life to pay it off. Finally she looked, and the note on the side of the bill caught her 49 . She read these words…

We all know that some things are obviously right. For example, it is right to be 1 to other people. It is also right to look after the environment. Some things are 2 wrong, too. For instance, we should not hurt or bully(欺负) others, nor should we litter. Rules often tell us what is right or wrong.
Rules can help the public make the right 3 ,and remain safe. Car drivers have to obey traffic regulations that tell them the right things to do on the road to avoid crashes. Cyclists who give signals before turning or stopping help prevent 4 .
If people follow rules without taking other matters into consideration, it will be 5 for them to form what is sometimes called a “black and white” view. For example, they may believe that people should always tell the truth, and that lying is 6 acceptable. Such people always stick to their views, even if it means that they may get into 7 .
Sometimes it may not be so easy to know 8 what is right or wrong. Some people choose not to eat meat because they believe that it is 9 to eat animals, but others argue that they can eat meat and 10 be kind to animals; some insist that stealing is always wrong, but others think that one does not need to feel to 11 when stealing some food to eat, if lives in a really poor area and he is 12 . Rules help us live together in harmony, because they show us the right way to 13 other. However, some people argue that rules may be 14 , having observed that rules change all the time , and that some schools have some regulations and other have different ones ----so who is to 15 what is right ?

Nick was a lovely little boy who suffered from many disorders. Normal day-care centres would not 26 him. As a baby, he had serious ear infections which left him with equilibrium (平衡) problems. He couldn’t 27 or run properly. I was hesitating (犹豫) 28 I was to take the job when my mother 29 , “Don’t you want to be a nurse in the future? I doubt if you even have the 30 .”
Then I told her I was 31 for the job.
The day started at 7:00 a.m. Nick was my wake-up call! With so much energy and very little 32 , he was quite a mix.
In the park, when he saw all the other children play on the jungle gym and swings (秋千)， the boy’s face 33 up — how he wished he belonged to the group of his age! You would think it would be 34 to get a child to go down a slide (滑梯). Believe me, it wasn’t! It took time, a lot of time. But with patience and support, Nick took one step up the slide each day. We worked together to face his 35 and gradually he got closer to taking the slide of his life.
Halfway through the summer, he 36 it to the top of the slide. With my arms 37 him tightly, we flew down the slide! I waited for his reaction. After realizing that he was safe and sound, he gave me a big 38 and asked, “May I go down again, alone?” I had never been happier in my life when I saw this little child climb the ladder and enjoy what other children 39 for granted.

Such children are known 37 “home-schoolers”. Some parents prefer teaching their children at home 38 they do not believe schools teach the correct religious (宗教的) 39 ; others believe they can provide a better educational 40 for their children by doing so. 41 , results show home-schooled children often do better than 42 on national tests in reading and math.
David teaches his three children at home. He 43 that his children learn very differently from children in school. Learning starts with the children’s 44 and questions. For example, when there is snowfall on a winter day, it may 45 a discussion about climate, snow removal 46 , Alaska, etc. Or a spring evening when the family is out 47 the stars is a good time to ask questions about the sky.

Time is very important in our lives. It organizes our everyday moments. However, time never had any importance in my life until I 16 a watch from my father, which organized my life and made me more responsible. It’s round in the center with two silver bands(带) that 17 around my wrist and all of it is made of silver.
I received this 18 on a gray – sky day. I had to go to the airport at 9:00 am to 19 up my Uncle Ali and take him to my father’s house. 20 , I was late because I was 21 out with my friends. Later on that day, around 11:00 am, I 22 my uncle, but I was very late for him. He had 23 the airport and taken a taxi to my father’s house.
I got to my father’s house at 2:00 pm that day and felt ashamed of myself at that moment. After I said hi to my 24 father and tired uncle, my father asked me to sit next to him and handed me this watch as a gift from him. Then he said, “Peter, did you have 25 with your friends today?” I answered, “Yes, father, and 26 apologized for not meeting my Uncle Ali.” He said, “What you 27 was not very nice and you should be sorry for your action.” I was ashamed and said, “Father, I’ll never do it again . I promise.” He said, “I hope today you learned something important, and this watch will be a 28 for you.” He told me to take this watch and use it as an organizer of my 29 .
I learned a very important lesson from my father: to respect time and never to be late to get someone. This watch is 30 to me, not because of its price, but because of the lesson that I learned from it.
