As a mother, I have been blessed. I have a nice, smart, good-looking son named Alan. About a month ago, there was an assembly (集会) about seat belt safety 36 at Alan’s high school. One of the presenters in this program, Kathy Hezlep, had 37 her son in a horrible car crash the year before.
When Kathy was 38 asked to speak at this assembly, she was reluctant (不情愿的). Her son’s 39 had been extremely hard on her. She often felt helpless and discouraged, and she wasn’t sure how she could 40 a difference by speaking to this group.
But at last she 41 to talk to the students in the school. Kathy spoke about how 42 it had been since the loss of her son. She spoke 43 from her heart and 44 son took her words straight into his heart.

John had to go to work. So he set off half an hour 36 than usual and arrived at the library before anybody else. The 37 to come was Mr. Steele, who thought, “This must be a wonder. John is 38 the first here. If he came as 39 as this every morning, he would get a lot more 40 done.” John began to get on with his work and by half past nine he had 41 all the postcards he had to write. It was a quarter to ten, and Mary had not arrived 42. He wondered 43 she was ill or if she had taken the day 44. But Mr. Steele came and 45 him if he knew where Mary was. If she were ill, she would 46, he said. It’s not like her. She’s usually 47. John said that he had no 48 where Mary was. But 49 the door opened and there was Mary. She was looking very 50 and tired. She apologized to Mr. Steele and explained that she had been 51 most of the night. She hadn’t 52 to sleep until five in the morning and had overslept. Mr. Steele was very 53 and suggested that she take the day off. She 54 him and said she would stay, but she 55 said a word for the rest of the morning. John, on the other hand, was feeling happy so at one o’clock he suggested to Mary that they go and have lunch together, and she agreed.

As darkness fell, hundreds of people in the Swiss village left their houses. They were staring      36  at the mountain top in the distance. It was covered with  37 , beautiful and dangerous.
The huge mountain is called Matterhorn. Mountain climbers had   38  the top, using the southern route. But no one had ever dared to try a winter climbing up the   39  side. But now one man was daring to try the   40  route. He was Walter Bonatti, a great mountain climber from Italy.
For two days he had climbed. The village people had watched him   41 . Now they were waiting to see his   42 . If he planned to   43  the next day, he would light a green signal. A red light would mean that he was   44 .
A tiny green light   45 high on the mountain side. Bonatti was not giving up! The people      46 .
The next day he   47  his way upward. He was so lonely and so tired! But he would not give up. Again that night he lit the   48 light.
In the morning, Bonatti looked up. He could not see the top, but he knew he was   49  there.   50  the climb was painful, he moved up.
Bonatti had spent months   51  for the climb. Was the training enough? Did he have the strength and   52  to climb to the top?
He was finally at the top! News about his   53 was radioed to the world.
The trip down the southern  54 was easy. He was warmly welcomed in the village. He had done the "  55 ", and would be well remembered as a climber of all time.

One day a teacher asked her students to list the names of the other students in the class on two sheets of paper，leaving a space between each name．

On Monday she gave each student his or her list．Before long，the entire class was 42 ．“Really?”

My father was in the navy, which meant that my mother was married to both my father and the sea．As was often the case, we had to pack our belongings into boxes and 31 those we had grown to love．We would arrive at our new home and find ourselves once again  32  at the pier （码头） waving good-bye to my father as his  33  pulled him away from us．My mother would turn my brother and I around before the ship was out of  34 , wipe our tears, and take us back home to start the process of  35  in the new environment again．
Throughout the years of changing  36 , schools and friends, there remained one constant in my childhood — my mother．For both my  37  and I, she was the cook, maid and teacher．She played these roles while  38  some type of part-time job．Leaving a promising career is just one of the  39  which my mother made for my family as we moved around the world with our father every three years or so． 40  she had to deal with only a small budget, my mother,  41 , managed to make each house to be the very home that is safe and  42 ．
This probably sounds like a depressing way to live,  43  with two small children: “single” parenthood, short-term friendships, and the inability （无能） to  44  a career or establish a home．But it was not for my mother．She turned this  45  into adventure for us all! Each relocation （变换位置） was a chance to  46  another part of the world．My mother greeted each new culture, climate and neighborhood．Each new house was a  47  to rearrange furniture, make curtains and  48  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  49  attitude．She always had strength in the face of struggle and change．My mother was so  50  all those years during my childhood — she was my island in a sea of change．She is my hero．
