We lived in a very quiet neighborhood. One evening I heard a loud crash in the street. 36 that evening my wife had asked me to go to the store to get some soft drinks. It seemed like this would be a good time to let my teenage daughter Holly 37 her driving, so I sent her to the store in my truck.
At dinner my son talked about how much he liked my 38 . I enjoyed having it, but I said: “Guy, my heart is not set on that truck. I like it but it is just metal and won’t last forever. Never set your heart on anything that won’t last.
After hearing the loud noise, the whole family ran outside. My son shouted: “ Dad! Dad, Holly crashed your truck.”
My heart sank and my mind was 39 with conflicting thoughts. Was anyone hurt? Who else was involved? As I ran to the door, I heard a voice in my heart say: “Here is a chance to show Holly 40 you really love. She’ll never forget it.”
The accident had occurred in my own driveway. Holly had crashed my truck into our other vehicle, the family van (搬运车). In her inexperience, she had 41 _the brakes and the gas pedal. Holly was unhurt 42 but when I reached her, she was crying and saying：“Oh, Dad, I’m sorry. I know how much you love this truck.” I held her in my arms as she cried.
Later that week a friend stopped by and asked what had happened to my truck. I told her the whole story. Her eyes moistened(湿润) and she said: “That happened to me when I was a girl. I borrowed my dad’s car and 43 a log that had fallen across the road. I ruined the car. When I got home my Dad knocked me to the ground and began to kick me.”
Over 40 years later, she still felt the pain of the night. It was a deep wound on her 44 .
I remember how sad Holly was the night she crashed our truck, and how I comforted her. One day, when Holly 45 on her life, I want her to know that I love her a thousand times more than any piece of 46 .
I repaired the van, but the dent(凹陷) in my truck is still there today. Every day it reminds me of what really 47 in my life.

I never thought about the dangers of growing up during the war because I was only six then. My parents were 36 and both were busy with their work at a hospital. I was often left in the care of my grandmother. Grandma gave Aunt Tracy and I the 37 of taking lunch to my grandfather, her estranged (分居的) husband, who lived 38 in an apartment at the other side of the village.
As usual, 39 we left, Grandma repeated, "There may be war at any time, so stay on the side of the road. Be 40 not to spill (溢出) the food." Aunt Tracy and I 41 the lunch box and hurried to Grandpa’s place.
"Keep down and take cover!" Tracy cried out as we heard some 42 . As we squatted (蹲) at the roadside, I started to feel 43 . Grandpa preferred his food served 44 . If we couldn’t get there on time, his lunch would turn cold! Not wanting the war to slow us down, I said, "Let’s just run for it!"
We tried all the ways we could think of to cross the road, but 45 seemed to work. Suddenly Tracy said, "Bullets travel in a straight line, so we can run in a zigzag (之字形)."Taking a deep breath, we set off again and ran wildly back and forth across the road., 46 we managed to reach Grandpa’s apartment.
As an adult, I now know what my young mind couldn’t understand then: it’s impossible to go through life without 47 . We may come across difficulties in our life, but we need to be brave, face the problem and carry on.

Long time ago, there was a farmer who lived with his daughter. A young man fell in love with the farmer’s beautiful daughter and wished to 36 her. One day, he went to the farmer to 37 his permission. The farmer looked at him and said, “ Guy, stand out in that 38 . I’m going to release (释放) 39 bulls, one at a time. If you can 40 the tail of any one of the three bulls, you can marry my daughter.”

I remember vividly that first English class in the last term of high school. We boys (there were no girls in the school) were 16 expectantly for the new teacher to appear. Before long, through the door came a tall ordinary-looking man 17 about 40. He said shyly, “Good afternoon, gentlemen.” His 18 had a surprising tone (语气) of respect, almost 19 he were addressing （向---讲话）the Supreme Court (最高法院)20 a group of youngsters. He wrote his 21 on the blackboard---Wilmer T. Stone-- ,and 22 sat on the front of his desk.. “Gentlemen,” he began, “We are now this 23 ---your last---to continue your study of 24 . I know we shall 25 learning with and from one another. We are going to learn 26 about journalism and how to write your weekly school paper. And 27 we are going to try to 28 the joy of good literature (文学). Maybe some of us will be really 29 in reading and writing. A man who reads 30 a happy life. A man who doesn’t read 31 on the earth with a blindfold(眼罩). If I have to put all my 32 into a single word, it would be: ‘browse(广泛浏览)’”. Mr. Stone went on like that, 33 in a friendly and understanding tone. The 34 of the class came much too soon. And we boys had to 35 the classroom with an unexpected feeling of excitement.
