A boy selling magazines walked up to a house people seldom visited. The house was old and the owner 36 came out. When he did come out he wouldn’t say hello to anybody 37 simply stared at them.
The boy knocked on the door and 38 . As he was ready to 39 away, the door slowly opened. “What do you want?” the old man said.
“Uh, sir, I’m selling these magazines and I was 40 if you’d like to buy one.” The old man 41 stared at the boy. The boy could see the inside of the house and 42 some dog figurines（小雕像）. “Do you 43 dogs?” the boy asked. “Yes, I do. They’re my family here and they’re all I have.” The boy felt sorry for the man, as he seemed to be very 44 . “I’ve a magazine here for collectors. It’s perfect for you. I also have one about dogs since you like dogs so much.” But the old man said, “I need 45 of the magazines, now goodbye.”
The boy was sad. He went home and then an idea 46 to him. He had a little dog figurine. He walked back to the old man’s house with the 47 . He knocked on the door again and this time the old man came right to the door. “Boy, I 48 I told you no magazines.”
“No, sir. I know that. I wanted to bring you a 49 . ” The boy handed him the figurine and the old man’s face 50 . “It’s a Golden Retriever. I have one at home. This one is 51 you.” The old man was 52 ; no one had ever shown him so much 53 . “Boy, you have a kind 54 . Thank you!” From that day on the old man 55 coming out of the house and talking with people.

Just then he awoke from his dream. The lesson was clear, and its effects were 37 . From that hour on he was not a loner, but associated freely and 38 with his former friends and colleagues. 39 would his darling’s candle be extinguished(熄灭) by his 40 tears.

My husband hasn’t stopped laughing about the thing that happened to me. It’s 16 now but it wasn’t that time.
Last Friday, after doing all the family shopping in town, I 17 a rest before catching the train, so I bought a 18 and some chocolate and went to the station coffee shop that was a cheap, self-service place with long 19 to sit at. I put my heavy bag down on the floor, put the newspaper and chocolate on the table to 20 a place and went to get a cup of coffee.
When I came back with the coffee, there was someone in the 21 seat. It was one of those 22 young 
man, with dark glasses and torn clothes, and hair colored bright 23 at the front, not so unusual these days. What did 24 me was he’d started to eat my chocolate! Naturally, I was annoyed. However, to avoid trouble—then really I was rather uneasy about him—I just 25 down at the front page of the newspaper, tasted my coffee, and took a bit of chocolate. The boy looked at me 26 . then he t
ook another piece of my chocolate. I could hardly 27 it. Still I didn’t want to start an argument. When he took a 28 piece , I felt more 29 than annoyed. I thought, “ Well, I shall have the last piece.” And I 30 it.
The boy gave me a 31 look, and then stood up. As he left, he shouted out, “This woman is mad!” Everyone 32 . That really made me feel silly, but it was 33 when I finished my coffee and got ready to leave. My face went red—as red as his hair when I 34 I’d made a mistake. It wasn’t my chocolate he’d been taking. There was mine, unopened, just under my 35 .
