I have been in love with China since 2010.
After one year in Zhejiang University, I got a great — to work as an assistant manager in a big hotel. The best part of this job was that I was the only , so I got a good chance to understand Chinese culture and practice my .
Actually, I have got I supposed to. I have got valuable experience, devoted friends and the feeling that I am not laowai anymore.
Guests were pleasantly surprised to see me there, because I was an interpreter, trip adviser, and guide at the same time, which made their life much . I met people from all over the world, who came to China for the first time, who knew China better than me. my Chinese colleagues, who had answers to all the questions about , I could explain why you should before you buy, why Chinese don’t let guests dinner, why it is not common to book a taxi and why it is better to catch on the street. I also had chances to the development of China.
The waiters and managers were not only my teachers, but my friends. If I needed help, they were to help me. I enjoyed our small conversations they were kind and educated. I was very proud and happy of the fact that all of them me and I don’t feel anymore.
The best part of my job was to see people coming the hotel. When they recognized me, they share their adventures, burdens, even thoughts with me. It means the world to me.
I spent there 8 months and it was a period when I was proud to be who I am.

Dear Sir/Madam,
I am writing to 36 about the fat body of a(n) 37 I found in my ‘Vegetable Surprise’ last Thursday. It was 38 a surprise to me! A bad one, though. And even worse was that 39 when I realized only half of the white insect was left there on top of my green vegetables.
I informed the 40 of my problem and I did not expect him to 41 and tell me that insects were a good source of protein. I am a vegetarian!
In fact, I have eaten in your restaurant many times 42 and this is the first time I have been 43 . And I do not feel we should have been 44 for this meal, so I would ask you to 45 the cost. I await your reply.
Yours faithfully,
Mr. John Smith

back. It was the 43 and sympathy (同情) in their eyes that 44 me doing so. I went shyly towards an unoccupied (空的) seat.
Being lame, I didn’t dare to 45 in front of my classmates. I was afraid that I might be 46 at. In those days I was very sad to see others walking 47 .
One day, a few students came up to me and asked me to go outside. I was really 48 . They encouraged me with a(n) 49 smile and 50 me in my wheelchair from place to place. I was 51 to them for giving me a chance to see the 52 of our lovely school with my own eyes.
After that we often read, played and talked together. My friends are always 53
to help me. It made me 54 I am handicapped (残疾的).
Once they asked me, “What is the most beautiful thing in our school?” Without hesitation (犹豫) I said, “ It is the 55 .”

My grandson is seven now. He lives 100 miles away. He 36 my mobile phone number when he was only four. 37 , he has called me every night.
He also 38 calls me at other times during the day just to 39 a happy or sad moment. Many times he is holding a basketball with one hand, or 40 with a friend about something I don’t quite 41 , or crying about something. I just 42 and laugh or cry with him — just share his emotion. I always let him be in 43 of the conversation, the emotion, and the amount of time he’s on the 44 with me. Many times I just listen to him 45 or listen while he does his homework aloud.
The 46 time I take control of the conversation is when he’s 47 to say goodbye at night. Then I say, “I love you, baby”. One 48 I thought maybe he was 49 of hearing those words, so I didn’t say them. He immediately called me back and told me that I 50 to say the sentence! Since then I have never 51 saying it again!
All my friends know he takes precedence over (比……重要) all other things. If I’m at a place where I really can’t take his 52 , I always excuse myself and 53 tell him I’ll call him back in a few minutes. I want him to know that he takes first place in my 54 .
Every child needs at least one 55 in their life to listen and share with. I am glad to give my grandson the love he needs.

A little boy had the job of coming to school early each day to start the fire and warm the room before his teacher and his classmates arrived.
One 1 they arrived to find the schoolhouse was on fire. They dragged(拖) the senseless(无意识的) little boy out of the burning building more dead than alive. The doctor told his mother that her son would surely 2 .
But the brave boy didn’t want to die. He made up his 3 that he would survive somehow, and to the amazement of the doctor, he did survive. When the 4 was past, the mother was told that he would be a lifetime cripple(跛子) with no 5 of the lower part of his body at all.
Once more, the brave boy made up his mind. He would not be a 6 . He would walk. But unfortunately from the waist down, he had no motor(运动神经的) ability. His thin legs were all but lifeless.
Finally he returned from the 7 . Every day his mother would massages(按摩) his little 8 , but there was no feeling. Yet his 9 that he would walk was as strong as ever.
One sunny day his mother wheeled him out into the 10 to get some fresh air. This day, instead of sitting there, he threw himself from the chair. He pulled himself across the grass, dragging his legs behind him. He walked his way to the white 11 .With great 12 , he raised himself up on the fence(篱笆) . Then, he began dragging himself along the fence and 13 that he would walk. He started to do this every day until he wore a smooth path all around the yard beside the fence. 14 through his daily massages and his iron determination, he did 15 the ability to stand up, then to walk by himself and then to run. This determined young man, Dr Glenn Cunningham, ran the world’s fastest mile!
