A Toronto man is offering a free round-the-world air to the right woman. But __41_ apply. You must be named Elizabeth Gallahgher and have a Candian ___42___ .
Jordan Axani, 28, said he and his then girlfriend, Elizabeth Gallagher, booked heavily discounted round-the-world air tickets in May, but their 43 ended and he did not want her ticket to 44 . The ticket had a strict no-transfer（不可转让） 45 , but since passport information was not required when 46 , any Canadian Elizabeth Gallagher can 47 it.
"I just want to see the ticket go to good use and for someone to 48 a lot of joy," said Axani. He posted his 49 on a social networking website, and received thousands of e-mails, including thirty from actual Elizabeth Gallagbers with the 50 passports, "More 51 , there are hundreds of Canadians who are interested in 52 their name to Elizabeth Gallagher," Axani said. "It was absolutely out of 53 , thousands of e-mails, people around the world 54 their stories of travel."
Axani wrote in his post that he is not 55 anything in return and that the woman who uses the 56 ticket can choose to either travel with him or 57 the ticket and travel on her own.

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.

My first job was at a local restaurant, where I worked for seven years . Being a waitress changed my 1 . I tried my best to do what I loved--- 2 People. I always made everyone , customers and coworkers, 3 good.
One of my 4 customers was Fred Hasbrook. He 5 came for Breakfast on Sunday mornings. 6 I saw the old man coming, I always smiled at him and 7 the best service.
One day, Fred saw me and asked , “What’s up ? You’re not 8 today.” I told him that I dreamed of having my own 9 . but when I called my parents to ask for a loan(贷款)，they said , “We just don’t have the 10 .”“Fred,” I said to the old man, “I know I can 11 more if somebody would just have faith in me.”
The next day , Fred came and 12 me a check totaling ＄50,000—along with a 13 that read, “The only collateral(抵押品）on this loan is my 14 in your honesty as a person. Good people with a dream should have the chance to 15 that dream.
I accepted the money and plans for the restaurant I would 16 . Things did not go well. My plans 17 and I lost the money.
Later I decided to 18 a job at Merrill Lynch. Even though I had no experience, I was 19 and became a pretty good agent. 20 I paid back Fred the ＄50,000.Five years later, I was able to open my own firm.

Jenna, a popular girl from Westwood Middle School, had graduated first in her class and was ready for new 1 in high school.
2 , high school was different. In the first week, Jenna went to tryouts(选拔赛)for cheerleaders(啦啦队队员). She was competing against very talented girls, and she knew it would be 3 for her to be selected. Two hours later, the 4 read a list of the girls for a second tryout. Her heart 5 as the list ended without her name. Feeling 6 , she walked home carrying her schoolbag full of homework.
Arriving home, she started with math. She had always been a good math student, but now she was 7 . She moved on to English and history, and was8 to find that she didn’t have any trouble with those subjects. Feeling better, she decided not to 9 math for the time being.
The next day Jenna went to see Mrs. Biden about being on the school 10 . Mrs. Biden wasn’t as 11 as Jenna. “I’m sorry, but we have enough 12 for the newspaper already. Come back next year and we’ll talk then.” Jenna smiled 13 and left. “Why is high school so 14 ?” she sighed.
Later in 15 class, Jenna devoted herself to figuring out the problems that had given her so much 16 . By the end of class, she understood how to get them right. As she gathered her books, Jenna decided she’d continue to try to 17 at her new school. She wasn’t sure if she’d succeed, but she knew she had to 18 . High school was just as her mom had said: “You will feel like a small fish in a big pond 19 a big fish in a small pond. The challenge is to become the 20 fish you can be.”

I was driving around downtown one afternoon in the winter. I 1 a red light and stopped. As I was 2 , I saw a young guy standing on my left. He was 3 in the face and holding a cardboard sign with some 4 on it. When you’re in the heart of downtown, it’s pretty 5 to see homeless people asking for 6 . Generally, I would pass them, but this time when I glanced over the sign, I 7 .
I can’t remember what the sign said exactly, but it was something like: “ 8 money / food, have stomach cancer, homeless, anything helps.”
I didn’t know why, but for some 9 this particular sign struck me. The 10 had just turned green, and there was a line of lunch rush hour traffic behind me. I went back and forth in my 11 a hundred times in that next 12 about whether I should do something. “Should I help? 13 on? Should I do something?”
I didn’t. I did nothing.
The traffic moved 14 , and I went with it. About a block（街区）or two away, my heart had sunk simply for this guy. I felt so 15 for him. So, I decided to go back and ask him 16 I could buy him lunch and hear his story.
It took me about five minutes to 17 and back on to the same street where I had seen him. It was just five minutes — but he was 18 .
“Where did he go so fast?” I wondered. So, there was 19 left to do except drive on.
If you get a special nudge（想做的事）from inside you, 20 consider acting on it. Don’t miss out — for yourself and for that other person.
