Allan Paul, a final year engineering student, was considered as a safe driver by all who knew him. One sunny morning, Allan was on his way home from his friend’s house on his favorite bike. All of a sudden, due to a major 31 by a truck driver near a traffic signal, Allan’s bike was hit by the huge truck. Poor Allan lost his legs and was 32 in the middle of the road, trembling.
He cried out for help but no one troubled to 33 . They were afraid of the consequences they could face if they gave Allan 34 .
There was a huge crowd gathering, 35 Allan like he was an alien. Allan kept crying and shouting aloud and finally he 36 his body to the sidewalk. Then he saw a man getting out of a car. Allan 37 him and cried out, “Please help me. I want to live. Save me, I am 38 .”
The man ran over and 39 . He picked up Allan and took him to the hospital. Allan gave him his 40 number and the man then called Allan’s house to inform his parents about the 41 and their son’s situation. Allan’s parents rushed to the 42 ; the doctors told them there was no 43 and asked them to take Allan home since it was impossible for him to 44 .
Allan asked his parents to only 45 one person when he died, the man who had helped him. He also requested that they not inform or allow anybody else to see his dead body. Allan 46 the same night. As was Allan’s last 47 , his father called only that man and informed him about Allan’s 48 .
Only a person, who has a 49 heart and who offers his service for the good of his fellow human beings, is a man. Those who 50 to, remain animals forever.

Unexpected things may happen every day but no one can tell when and where. People usually get surprised or frightened by such things.
One day I 36 a taxi to go to a meeting. As it came near the corner, the taxi stopped suddenly.The 37 got out looking very puzzled(迷惑). A big 38 which had been following the taxi stopped, too. The taxi driver was now 39 at the corner looking up 40 the sky and the truck driver got out and 41 him. A number of cars behind them were 42 to stop as well and a large crowd of people had 43 at the corner.
The cause of all this 44 was a very strange noise. It 45 as if thousands and thousands of 46 were chirping（鸣叫）.The sound of so 47 birds toghter was quite surprising and many people looked 48 . The most extraordinary thing was that,except one or two 49 , there was not a bird in 50 . No one was able to know why — 51 two policemen arrived on the scene. They walked all around the area for a while and then went over near the railroad tracks beside a big board advertisement(广告)for a 52 . Since the noise seemed to be coming from around there, they climbed up and found that two loudspeakers had been 53 behind the advertisement.The bird noises were being broadcast to 54 attention to the film advertisement.
The cinema that made this advertisement was 55 to take the loudspeakers away, because they caused trouble and people were tired of them.

A mother and daughter living in my community are two of the most unfriendly people I have ever come across in my life. They are totally separated, mixing with 36 . As they drive past 37 they keep their eyes looking away and make no sign of acceptance. The only fame they have is making a nuisance of themselves to the local police station by 38 music played too loud, dogs barking more than once a day and any other pretty 39 gripe (把柄).
On moving into this neighborhood, I was 40 of these two but decided I would make up my own mind. This proved quite a 41 to me as more than once either the mother or the daughter would knock on my door and blast (猛烈抨击) me with some 42 or other.
I 43 answered politely and made sure I 44 as they went past my place and also made the effort now and then to make a kind remark about their garden or pets.
Time passed and in October, as part of the kindness rock give (送爱心石活动), Maureen and I 45 to place a kindness rock in their garden. Their 46 remained unchanged, however, and I continued to be as friendly as possible.

So, my fellow gifters , do not 52 on your random（随意的） gifts of kindness. You may never know just what this 53 to others, nor how many broken or 54 hearted people you may just change with a simple act of 55 .

At the age of 13，I visited a doctor with my parents. As I sat in the examining chair，the doctor looked into my 31 .“She did inherit (继承) it，”he said with coldness.“You need to be prepared. There is no 32 for this disease.”
My father 33 a gene which，in most cases，results in blindness. I’d inherited the gene. He gradually 34 his eyesight and so did I. At last we were both 35 blind—he was fifty-seven years old， 36 I was only twenty-eight.
My world 37 as the darkness fell， 38 the dreams my husband and I had for us and for our three little boys. But 39 I tried to find some hope and 40 ，my eyes were opened to a new realization.
My father had 41 me not just failing eyesight，but an example of 42 in the face of hardships as well. We were all living in Bolivia in 1964 when he decided to 43 the family to America. He worked tirelessly to 44 the right of living in the US.
Alone in the States，he 45 his helplessness and lack of fluency in English. He managed to rent a small apartment，and nine months later，sent airline tickets for my mom，my brother and me.
Decades later， 46 an American citizen，I look back at what he'd shown me. He set an example proving that determination is important to success. His 47 taught me valuable lessons for my own path in the darkness.
I did the same as I stepped into a 48 world. I fulfilled (完成) my own 49 as a wife，mom，Sunday school teacher and Spanish interpreter. What I inherited from my father helped me to 50 my life in a whole new light.

Once upon a time there lived an old man in a nice cottage with a large garden. The old man was seen 16 his flowers all the time. They were so well-tended that every passer-by could not but 17 for a glance.
One day a young man went by the garden. He gazed at the splendid garden, 18 in admiration at the beauty of these sceneries. Then, suddenly he 19 the old gardener was blind. 20 , the young man asked, “Why are you busy tending these flowers every day which you can’t 21 in fact?” The old man smiled and answered that “ I can tell you 22 reasons. First I was a 23 when I was young, and I really like this job. Second, although I can’t see these flowers, yet I can 24 them. Third，I can smell sweetness of them. As to the last one, that’s 25 .
“Me? But you don’t know me,” responded the young man 26 .
“Yeah, it’s 27 that I don’t know you. But I know everyone knows flowers and would never 28 them down. I know the beauty of my garden will get many people into a good 29 . In the meantime, it also 30 a chance to me to have a word with you here and to enjoy the happiness these flowers have brought us.”
The old man’s 31 astonished me. The blind man grows flowers and 32 them as a link of minds so as to make 33 enjoy the sunshine in spring. Isn’t it one kind of happiness？
I believe every flower has 34 with which they can see the kindness of the man’s heart. The blind man grows flowers in his heart. Though 35 to see the beauty of blossoming（开花）, he surely can hear the voice of it, I suppose.
