That day I was later for school, so Mom offered me a 36 . I sat beside her in our car, daydreaming about my 37 . I’d be graduating from high school in a few months. I’d leave high school behind and do whatever I wanted. What 38 I do? Go to college? Or get a job in an office where I could 39 my way up?
Mom interrupted my thoughts.“Kassandra, do you 40 that?’’She asked just as we were 41 the railroad tracks. She stopped the car on the other side and 42 the window. “It looks like a child.’’ 43 ,I saw a small boy walking by himeself. The warning lights on the train tracks flashed 44 .The boy stayed where he was right in the middle of the 45 .The whistle sounded. There’s no 46 that train can stop in time!The boy jumped up and down and 47 at the engineer.
I took off running. My shoes flopped(松动) against my feet as I 48 , so I kicked them off. I ran faster. Stones crunched(发出刺耳的碎裂声) and flew under my 49 feet. The ground shook. God, let me get to him! The train was almost on top of him. I 50 the boy in my arms. Keep running! But something 51
me. I fell backward, away from the train. I pulled the boy with me onto safe ground. The train barreled(高速行驶)past. The noise was 52 . The wheels were so close that I could have reached out and touched one.
Once the train was out of 53 , I stood up. Mom ran up and hugged me. “Kassandra, I didn’t think you were going to 54 it !’’
I got ready for bed that night 55 looking forward to school the next day. I wanted to enjoy every moment in life.

When I was a boy, every holiday I had seemed wonderful. My 36 took me by train or by car to a hotel by the 37 . All day I 38 on the sands（沙滩） with strange 39 children. We made houses and gardens, and 40 the tide（潮汐） destroy them. When the tide went out, we 41 over the rocks and looked down at the fish in the rock-pools.
In those days the 42 see
med to shine always brightly 43 the water was always warm. Sometimes we left beach and walked in the country, 44 ruined houses and dark woods and climbing trees. There were 45 in one’s pockets or good places where we could 46 ice creams. Each day was very happy.
Although I am now thirty-five years old, my idea of a good 47 is much the same as it was. I 48 like the sun and warm sand and the sound of 49 beating the rocks. I no longer wish to 50 any sand house or sand garden, and I dislike sweets. 51 , I love the sea and often feel sand running through my fingers.
Sometimes I 52 what my ideal (理想的) holiday will be like when I am 53 . All I want to do then, perhaps, will be to lie in bed, reading books about 54 who make houses and gardens with sands, 55 watch the incoming tide…

Many years ago my dad was diagnosed (诊断) with a terminal illness . He was unable to work at 36 job . He would be fine for quite a while , but would then fall suddenly 37 and have to be admitted to the hospital .
He wanted to do something to keep himself 38 , so he decided to volunteer at the local children 39 . My dad loved kids . He would talk to them and play with them .Sometimes ,
he would 40 one of his kids . In certain instances , he would give 41 to the sad parents of these children .
One of his kids was a girl who had been admitted with a 42 disease that paralyzed (使…瘫痪) her from the neck down . I don’t know the 43 of the disease , but I do know that it was very sad for a little girl . My dad decided to try to help her . He started 44 her in her room , bringing paints , brushes and paper . He stood the paper up 45 a backing , put the paintbrush in his mouth and began to paint . He didn’t use his hands at all . Only his 46 would move . He would visit her 47 he could and paint for her . All the while he would tell her , “see , you can do 48 you set your mind to .”
49 , she began to paint using her mouth , and she and my dad became friends . Soon after , the little girl was discharged (允许出院). My dad also 50 the children hospital for a little while because he became ill. Sometime later after my dad had recovered and 51 t
o work , he was at the volunteer counter one day and 52 the front door open . In came the little girl who had been paralyzed , but this time she was 53 . She ran straight to my dad and hugged him really tight . She gave my dad a picture she had done using her 54 . At the bottom it read, “thank you for helping me w
alk .” Sometimes love is more 55 than doctors , and my dad-who died just a few months after the little girl gave him the picture-loved every single child in that hospital .

My husband is an engineer. Since we met, he has always been the rock in my life. I knew he had his feet 36 planted on the ground ,and it seemed that no matter what else went 37 , he would be the constant one.
Three years of romance and two years of marriage later, I began to feel 38 of him because he never brought me flowers , he never 39 me, and nothing had changed in our marriage.
After 40 , I finally told him I wanted to be 41 . He just sat there , speechless and didn’t even know __42__to say to make me stay . Finally , he spoke ,“What can I do to change your 43 ?”
“I’ll stay if you have a good answer 44 this question,” I replied coldly。“If I asked for a 45
growing on a cliff, and getting it for me 46 certain death, would you still do so ?”
His face grew troubled.“Can I give you the answer tomorrow morning ?” With that , my heart 47 . He couldn’t even give me an answer 48 away.
The next morning , I found he was 49 .However, I found a note under a warm glass of milk . My eyes 50 misty as I was reading it
“Dear, I’ll give you my 51 .
After you do typing for a long time , I need my 52 to do it for you.
Every time you leave the house , you forget your keys . I need my legs to run 53 and open the door for you… that’s why I cannot pick the flower for you….”
With tears 54from my eyes , I opened the door. And there he was , with an extremely worried look on his face, waving the packet he had in his hand in front of me.

Brownie and Spotty were neighbor dogs who met every day to play together. Like pairs of dogs you 36 find in most any neighborhood, these two loved each other and played 37 so often that they had worn a path through the grass of the field between their own houses.
One evening, Brownie’s family 38 that Brownie hadn’t returned home. They went looking for him with no 39 .Brownie didn’t appear the next day, and, despite their 40 to find him, by the next week he was still missing.
Curiously, Spotty 41 at Brownie’s house alone, barking. Busy with their own lives, they just ignored(不理睬)the 42 little neighbor dog.
Finally, one morning Spotty 43 to take “no” for an answer. Spotty followed Ted about, barking strongly, then running towards a nearby wood, as if to say “ 44 me! It’s urgent!”
Finally, Ted followed the anxious Spotty. The little dog led the man to a 45 spot a half mile from the house. There Ted found his beloved Brownie 46 , one of his hind legs stuck in a steel leg hold trap. Horrified, Ted now wished he’d taken Spotty’s earlier requirement 47 .Then Ted noticed something quite remarkable.
Spotty had done more than simply 48 Brownie’s human owner to his trapped frie
nd. In a circle around the 49 dog. Ted found some dog food---which was later 50 as the remains of every meal Spotty had been fed that 516 !
Spotty had been visiting Brownie 52 , in a single-minded quest to keep his friend alive by offering 
his own comfort. Spotty had obviously stayed with Brownie to protect him from being hurt, snuggling(依偎) with him at night to keep him 53 and touching him gently with its nose to keep his spirits up.
Brownie’s leg was treated by a veterinarian and he re-covered. For many years afterward, the two 54 watched the faithful friends frolicking(嬉戏)
55 chasing each other down that well-worn path between their houses.

There is a story about a school teacher named Mrs. Thompson. Standing in front of her 36 grade class on the first day of school, she told the children a lie. She said she 37 them all. But that was 38 , because there was a little boy called Teddy, whom she didn’t like at all.
Mrs. Thompson was 39 that he didn’t play well with other children, that his clothes were 40 and that he always needed a bath. 41 , when she received his records, she got a real 42 .
Teddy’s first grade teacher wrote, “Teddy is a smart child with ready laugh. He does his work neatly and has good manners.”
His second grade 43 wrote, “Teddy is an excellent student, well liked by his classmates, but he is troubled because his mother has a deadly illness and life at home 44 be a struggle.”
His third teacher wrote, “ His mother’s death has been 45 to him.”
By now, Mrs. Thompson realized the problem and she was 46 herself. She felt even worse when students 47 her beautiful C

While attending a conference, I returned to my hotel room late one rainy evening. The overhead light outside my door was 36 and I had difficulty finding the keyhole. When I finally 37 to open the door, I 38 around the wall for a light switch. I found a 39 where a switch was once installed... but no switch.
No discouraged easily, I remembered seeing a 40 by the bed when I put away my luggage 41 in the day. I found the bed in the dark and felt around until I found the lamp, but when I switched it on, 42 happened! Now what?
Though I knew that it was dark outside my window 43 the outdoor light was burned out, I thought that 44 if I opened the curtains I might be able to use the light from the 45 to find another lamp. So I 46 my way slowly across the room to the curtains and... no draw-string!
I finally stumbled（跌跌撞撞） around until I found a desk lamp that actually 47 ! That evening I discovered in a whole new way just how dark the world can be and how necessary 48 is.

So let your light shine. Whatever ligh you 53 may be a beacon（灯塔）of hope and encouragement in someone’s darkness. And if you feel that your light is 54 a candle in a forest, remember this—there isn’t enough darkness in the world to 55
the light of one small candle.
