It was the district sports meet. My foot still hadn't healed(痊愈)from a(n) 16 injury. I had 17 whether or not I should attend the meet. But there I was, 18 for the 3,000-meter run.

"Hooray! "shouted the crowd. It was the loudest 21 I had ever heard at a meet. The first-place runner was two laps(圈)ahead of me when she crossed the finish line.

Everyday on the way to work I drive down a street lined with pine trees. One tree in particular 36 my attention. It must have suffered some 37 . Part of its trunk grew nearly parallel to the ground, and then in an effort to 38 its own course of life, the trunk took a 90 degree turn 39 to stand tall and stretch toward the sun.
This tree became a 40 for me. Each day as I drove by, I saw this bent but determined tree and I would be 41 . It was a reminder to me that 42 I may not have had the best start in life, I could change 43 in the parts of my life at any time.
I was planning to stop one day to get a perfect 44 of my kindred-spirit (志趣相同的) tree. But that week I was 45 . After that busy week, I still didn’t take any action. Every time I drove by the tree I would 46 myself, “Tomorrow, I’ll stop tomorrow to take one.” Then one day, as I 47 by “my” tree, I glanced over, and much to my 48 found a sawed-off stump (树桩) where that symbolic tree had stood. Gone. I had 49 my plan until “tomorrow” and tomorrow proved to be too 50 .
A picture of a tree is not of great 51 . But my lesson rang through clearly 52 I found out one of my colleagues had been 53 with stage-four cancer. He may no longer have many 54 .
What have you been putting off? What would you do today if you knew you would 55 have the opportunity to do it again? Why not do those things that you have been putting off until tomorrow?

Sometimes I really doubt whether there is love between my parents. Every day they are very busy trying to earn money in order to pay the 16 tuition(学费) for my brother and me. They don’t 17 in the romantic ways that I read in books or I see on TV. My father has a bad temper（脾气）; it’s easy for him to lose his temper.
One day, my mother was sewing a quilt(缝被子). I 18 sat down beside her and looked at her.
“Is there any 19 between you and Dad?” I asked her in a very low voice.My mother stopped her work and raised her head with 20 in her eyes. She didn’t answer immediately. Then she bowed her head and continued to sew the quilt. 21 at last I heard my mother say the following words:“Susan,” she said 22 , “Look at this thread（线）. Sometimes it appears, but most of it disappears in the quilt. The thread really makes the quilt strong and durable（耐用）. If life is a 23 , then love should be a thread. It can 24 be seen anywhere or anytime, but it’s really there. Love is 25.
I listened carefully but I couldn’t understand her until the next 26 . At that time, my father suddenly got sick seriously. My mother had to stay with him in the hospital for a month. After they were 27, every day in the morning and dusk, my mother helped my father walk 28 on the country road. My father had never been so 29 . Along the country road, there were many beautiful flowers, green grass and trees. The sun gently shone through the leaves. All of these 30 the most beautiful picture in the world. The doctor had said my father would 31 in two months. But after two months he still couldn’t walk alone. We were all worried.
“Dad, how are you feeling now?” I asked him one day. “Susan,” he said gently, “to tell you the truth, I just like 32 with your mom. I like this kind of life.” 33 his eyes, I knew he loved my mother deeply.
Once I thought love meant flowers, gifts and sweet kisses. But from this 34 , I understand that love is just a 35 in the quilt of out life. Love is inside, making life strong and warm.
