My father was in the navy, which meant that my mother was married to both my father and the sea. As was often the __1__, we had to pack our belongings into boxes and __ 2__ those we had grown to love. We would arrive at our new home and find ourselves once again __3__ at the pier（码头）waving good-bye to my father as his ship pulled him away from us. My mother would turn my brother and me around before the ship was out of __4__, wipe our tears, and take us back home to start the process of __5__ in the new environment again.
Throughout the years of changing __6__, schools and friends, there remained one constant in my childhood — my mother. For both my __7_ and me, she was the cook, maid and teacher.

This probably sounds like a depressing way to live, __13__ with two small children: “single” parenthood, short-term friendships, and the inability to __14__ a career or establish a home.

My mother __17__ each new culture, climate and neighborhood. Each new house was a __18__ to rearrange furniture, make curtains and hang pictures. Every part-time job was an opportunity to learn something new and work with interesting people.
No matter how difficult the life was, she was always having a __19__ attitude. She always had strength in the face of struggle and change. My mother was so __20__all those years of my childhood — she was my island in a sea of change. She is my hero.

Several weeks ago, my friend advised us to sell some of our things which we will not use any more. I thought it was a good chance to 46 my 7-year-old son’s room and 47 some toys that were no longer suitable for him to play with. We 48 that all the money we got from selling the toys would be his money.
The night before the 49 , we loaded up the truck with toys and a little bike that was too 50 for him. In the yard he 51 the bike for the last time and then happily put it onto the truck. This little bike had at least two previous owners as far as we 52 . It wasn’t in the best 53 and was certainly not new, but the tires were 54 good.
We put a price of $10 on it, but it didn’t sell. So, after the sale was 55 , my friend put it on the sidewalk with a sign that 56 “FREE BIKE”. Within five minutes her doorbell rang. A little boy was 57 there. In poor English he asked whether the bike was 58 free. She said yes and that he could have it for 59 . He smiled, got on the bike and rode away.
Later that evening when I told my son how much money he had made at the sale, he was very 60 , shouting happily. He asked about a few of his things, wondering 61 they had been sold. When he asked about the bike, I told him about the little boy and that made him 62 . He was much happier than when I told him how much he had 63 . He was so happy to 64 that someone else would make good 65 of that little bike!

It has been difficult to sit on the bench the majority of my high school basketball career,to watch my team from the sideline and 36 why I am not good enough to be on the floor. 37 endless hours of work and devotion, pushing myself through drill after drill, the 38 thing I want is to be a cheerleader. The feeling of being 39 is sometimes too much and drives me to 40 on the spot. I often feel as though my efforts are wasted and my time is eaten away, devoted to 41 .
It is heartbreaking to be a spectator(旁观者) for the game I love,knowing that no one has enough 42 to give me the chance to 43 on the floor. Tears well up, but I hold them back. I shouldn’t be so 44 over something so silly.
Away from the game, it’s easier to put my thoughts together, 45 letting my emotions drive my reasoning. I consider 46 I am where I am. I have played football my whole life. I have a passion for the 47 and always have. There is nothing like the excitement of 48 : the swish of the net, the sweat rolling off my cheeks, even the bruises(青肿) are battle wounds worn 49 after every game.
Even if I don’t play much, I participate in every 50 . I am part of a team of girls who 51 together like a family. I am there for them, 52 they are for me.
Should I move on? Or should I stay with my team and pursue my passion just a little longer?
The decision isn’t difficult when I consider the 53 that being a part of a team brings me --- and not just any team, 54 my team. I love basketball and my teammates. When I think about that, my view from the bench really isn’t so bad 55 .
