While Christmas shopping in a jewelry store, I discovered a table of golden ornaments (饰品) on sale. So beautiful in   41 ,each had a personality of its own. I looked through hundreds of pieces,   42  a few and took them home.
I was afraid that they would disappear among other   43 gifts of a Christmas tree,   44 I used them to decorate wreaths (花环). When I stood back to    45   my work, a thought crossed my mind: Wouldn’t some of our family and friends like these, too?
I raced back to the jewelry store to discover that the piles of ornaments had been   46 even further. This time I bought dozens, as I   47 the many people who might enjoy one for the holidays.
I   48 began my creative project. While I tied lovely bows and glued golden ornaments, my mind   49 to Christmases past, how special each had been. I thought about others perhaps not so   50 . Some people in our community   51 had a family to share the joy of Christmas. Some didn’t   52 with holiday decorations.
I nodded my head in determined   53 . They would be at the top of my list to receive a little wreath.   54 the plan my husband showed great enthusiasm (热情) and we set out together to put it into   55 .
We visited the aged, the widowed (寡居的) and the lonely. Each one was   56 at our cheerful stop and   57 hung our small gifts — often the   58 signs of celebration in their homes.
After several days, I realized we had made and given almost two hundred wreaths. Decorated with   59 and delivered with delight, they filled many homes and hearts with the joy of Christmas. We were glad that our   60 did make sense and we found our Christmas spirit in doing and giving.

Later ,when Hannah attended school, she saw another homeless person. It was a woman, 39 an old shopping trolley（购物车）which was piled with 40 . It seemed that everything the woman owned was in them. This made Hannah very sad, and even more 41 to do something.She had been talking to her mother about the lives of homeless people 42 they first saw the homeless man. Her mother told her that if she did something to change the problem that made her sad, she wouldn't 43 as Z bad.

Hannah began to speak out about the homelessness in Manitoba and then in other provinces.She hoped to 44her message of hope and awareness.She started the Ladybug Foudation ,an organization aiming at getting rid of bomekssacss. She began to 4 5"Big Bosses" lunches, where she would try to persuade local business Leaders to 46to the cause.She also organized a fundraising(募捐)drive in "Ladybug Jars" to collect everyone`s spare change during "Make Change" month. More recently, the foundation began another 47called National Red Scarf Day-a day when people donate ＄20 and wear red scarves in support of Canada`s 48 and homeless.

There is an emergency shelter in Winnipeg called "Hannah`s Place",something that Hannah is very 49of.

The journey my daughter Cathy has had with her swimming is as long as it is beautiful.

Cathy suffered some terrible 16 in her early childhood. After years of regular treatment, she 17 became healthy.

Two years ago, while Cathy was watching the Olympics, a dream came into her sweet little head-to be a swimmer. Last summer, she wanted to 18 out local swim team. She practiced hard and finally 19it. The team practice, 20was a rough start. She coughed and choked and could hardly 21her first few weeks. Hearing her coughing bitterly one night, I decided to 22 her from it all. But Cathy woke me up early next morning, wearing her swimsuit 23to go! I told her she shouldn't swim after a whole night's coughing, but she refused to 24 and insisted she go .

From that day on, Cathy kept swimming and didn't 25 a single practice. She had a 26intention within herself to be the best she could be. My ten-year-old was growing and changing right before my eyes, into this 27 human being with a passion and a mission. There were moments of 28 of course: often she would be the last swimmer in the race. It was difficult for Cathy to accept that she wasn't a 29 ---ever. But that didn't stop her from trying.

Then came the final awards ceremony at the end of the year. Cathy didn't expect any award but was still there to 30 her friends and praise their accomplishments. As the ceremony was nearing the end, I suddenly heard the head coach 31 , "The highest honor goes to Cathy!" Looking around, he continued, "Cathy has inspired us with her 32 and enthusiasm. 33skills and talents bring great success, the most valuable asset(财富)one can hold is the heart."

It was the greatest 34 of my daughter's life. With all she had been 35 in her ten years, this was the hour of true triumph(成功).

Hundreds of people have formed impressions of you through that little device(装置)on your desk. And they've never actually 21you. Everything they know about you 22through this device, sometimes from hundreds of miles away. 23 they feel they can know you 24 from the sound of your voice. That's how powerful the 25is.

Powerful, yes, but not always 26. For years I dealt with my travel agent only by phone. Rani, my faceless agent whom I'd never met 27, got me rock-bottom prices on airfares, cars, and hotels. But her cold voice really 28 me. I sometimes wished to 29 another agent.

One morning, I had to 30 an immediate flight home for a family emergency. I ran into Rani's office 31 . The woman sitting at the desk, 32 my madness, sympathetically jumped up. She gave me a 33 smile, nodded while listening patiently, and then printed out the 34immediately. "What a wonderful lady!" I thought.

Rushing out 35I called out over my shoulder, "By the way, what's your name?" "I'm Rani," she said. I turned around and saw a 36woman with a big smile on her face waving to wish me a safe trip. I was 37! Why had I thought she was cold? Rani was, well, so 38 .

Sitting back in the car on the way to the airport, I figured it all out. Rani's 39---her warm smile, her nods, her 'I'm here for you' 40 ---were all silent signals that didn't travel through wires.
