Driving to a store after a busy day at work, I saw a man standing near the store holding a sign that said, “Will work for food.” I knew at that moment that I was going into the store and 36 him something to eat.
As I 37 the car park, I saw in my car mirror a lady come out from a hairdresser’s and 38 the man. I thought she must be going to give him some 39 or something to help him out. In the store I was 40 to get the things I needed and also the chicken dinner and a soda that I wanted to give the man outside. I hurried out to my car and 41 that I was going to be able to hopefully help this man.
When I drove out of the car park, I couldn’t see the 42 . As I turned the corner I saw the man sitting in a 43 area away from the hairdresser’s and still 44 up the sign. I immediately 45 over and gave the man the dinner and soda and said, “ 46 this will get you through today.” He looked at me and said, “Thank you so much!”
As I got back into my car, I looked in the 47 and saw the man swallowing the dinner like he hadn’t eaten for days.
I was so 48 that I was able to help him and at the same time I was so sad that the woman from the hairdresser’s, 49 , had asked the man 50 from her shop. It’s sad to say that 51 I live in a small city where homeless is not as 52 as in larger cities, people are uncomfortable with these people in 53 . All they need to do is lend a helping hand 54 and it could make a huge 55 in their lives

When I was about 13, my father would take me on short outings on Saturdays. On the way home, Dad _36_ stopped at the Dairy Queen for 10-cent ice creams. I couldn’t _37_ it, but I could pray from the _38_ we started heading home to that corner where we would either go straight for the ice cream or _39_ and go home empty-handed. That corner _40_ either mouth-watering excitement or _41_.
On one special day, we were heading home, and again I was praying for the _42_ sound of his offer. It _43_. “Would you like an ice cream today?” “That sounds great, Dad!” But then he said, “How would you like to _44_ today?”
Twenty cents! My mind reeled(震惊). I could afford it. I got a weekly allowance of 25 cents, plus some _45_ for odd jobs(零活). But _46_ it was my money, ice cream wasn’t a good use of it. In a fit of _47_, I said, “Well, in that case, I guess I’ll _48_.” My father just said, “Okay, Son.”
But as we headed home, I realized how wrong I was and begged him to _49_. But he just said, “That’s okay, we don’t really need one.” I felt _50_ for my selfishness and ungratefulness. He didn’t mind, or _51_ act disappointed.
I _52_ that generosity(慷慨)goes two ways and gratefulness sometimes costs more than “thank you”. On that day gratefulness would have cost 20 cents and it would have been the _53_ ice cream I’d ever had.
I’ll tell you one more thing. We _54_ another trip the next week. As we _55_ the corner, I said, “Dad, would you like an ice cream today? My treat.”

In eighteen thirty, only a few miles away from what is now the great city of Cincinnan, Ohio, lay a 36 and almost endless forest.
The area had a few settlements 37 by people of the frontier. Many of them had already left the area for settlements further 39 the west. But among those 40 was a man who had been one of the first people to arrive there.
He lived alone in a house of logs surrounded 41 all sides by the great forest. He seemed a part of the darkness and 42 of the forest, for no one had 43 known him to smile or speak an unnecessary word. His simple needs were 44 by selling or trading the skins of wild animals in the town.
His little log house had a single door. Directly 45 was a window. The window was boarded up(堵住). No one could remember a(n) 46 when it was not. And no one knew why it had been 47 . I imagine there are few people living today who ever knew the 48 of that window. But I am one, as you shall 49 .
The man's name was said to be Murlock. He 50 to be seventy years old, but he was really fifty. Something other than years had been the 51 of his aging.
His hair and long, full beard were white. His gray, 52 eyes were sunken. His face was wrinkled. He was tall and thin with drooping shoulders—like someone with many 53 .
I never saw him. These 54 I learned from my grandfather. He told me the man's story 55 I was a boy. He had known him when living nearby in that early day.

In college I had a part-time job at a shop downtown that sold doughnuts(a kind of cake) and coffee. The small shop, 36 on a block where a dozen buses stopped, it provided food to people who had a few minutes to wait for their 37 .
I 38 coffee in takeout cups and patiently waited on customers who’d point through the glass case and say, “No, not that one, the one two rows over.”
Every afternoon around four o’clock, a group of school children would burst 39 the shop. Adults would glance in, see the crowd and 40 on. I didn’t 41 if the kids waited for the bus in the shop.
I came to know them pretty well. The girls would talk about school. The boys were more quiet, choosing not to 42 their secrets, but still, they’d wait every day in the store 43 their bus came.
Sometimes I'd hand out bus fare (车费) when a ticket went 44 — always repaid the next day.When ii snowed, the kids and I would wait 45 for a very late bus.They'd call their parents to let them know they were okay.At _ closing time I wouldn't 46 the door, and the kids and I would wait in the warm store until their bus finally arrived.
I 47 a lot of doughnuts on snowy days.I enjoyed my pals (伙伴), but it never 48 to me that I played an important part in their lives—until one Saturday afternoon when a serious-looking man came into the store and asked if I was the girl who worked weekdays around four o'clock.I 49 it was true, and he introduced himself 50 the father of two of my favorites—a brother and sister team.
"I want you know I appreciate what you do for my children.I 51 about them having to take two buses to get home.It 52 a lot that they can wait here and you are keeping an eye on them."
I told him it wasn't a big 53 .that I enjoyed the kids.
"No, you don't understand.When they're with the doughnuts lady, I know they're 54 .It is a big deal.And I'm grateful."
So I was the Doughnuts lady.I not only had received a 55 .I had become a landmark.

Up until April of this year, he was able to live alone, drive, and 40 all of his own needs. His health has broken sown swiftly. I’m the only girl out of the five children.

It is 52 annoying. They say they 53 stand “to see Daddy this way” which I understand. It hurts me to see him so sick 54 weak, too. But …he’s our Dad. He has taken care of us our whole lives.

For almost two months Dominic York, a 23-year-old hairdresser, wandered about hospitals all night, wearing a white coat and pretending he was a doctor. Yesterday he proudly claimed in 1 that despite his complete 2 of medical experience or qualifications, he had saved several people’s lives. He had even been allowed to assist a surgeon during an emergency operation on a patient who was 3 to die on something she had swallowed.
“I watched one of those TV dramas about a hospital and suddenly I 4 playing one of the roles myself. So I put on a white jacket and a stethoscope(听诊器)and walked around one of the biggest hospitals in London. “At first, I just 5 . Once you learn how doctors talk to patients, nurses and other doctors, it’s easy to 6 people in,” he said.
One of the patients he treated was Laura Kennan. She had been 7 by a car and fainted. When she 8 in hospital, York was standing over her.
“He looked very professional. He told me his name was Doctor Simon. Then he gave me some sort of injection,” she said. And then he suddenly cleared off when a nurse asked who he was. She didn’t think there was anything wrong. “I would never have 9 he was a fake(冒牌货)if a policewoman hadn’t showed me his 10 a week later. When the policewoman told me who he really was, I could hardly believe my ears.”
Judge Raymond Adams told York that he was “shocked and horrified” that he 11 with his cheating for so long and then 12 him to eighteen months in a special prison for criminals with mental disorders.
“I can only hope that this will not lead to 13 problems. After all, you will have considerable opportunity to study the 14 of the psychiatrists who will look after you while you are there. If you try to persuade people that you yourself are a 15 after you are set free, I shall make sure that you are given a much longer sentence.” Judge Adams warned York.

Blind from birth, I have never had the opportunity to see myself and have been completely dependent on the image I create in the eyes of others.
There are those who 36 that since I can’t see, I obviously also cannot 37 . Very often people will talk with me at the top of their lungs. Conversely to this, people will also often 38 , assuming that since my eyes don’t work, my ears don’t either. For example, when I go to the airport and ask the ticket agent for 39 to the plane, he or she will always pick up the phone and call a ground hostess in a very low voice. "Hi, Jane, wave got a 76 here." I have concluded that the word " 40 " is not used because they are unwilling to inform me of my condition of which I may not have been previously 41 .
On the other hand, others know that of course I can hear, but believe that I can’t talk. Once I became ill and was hospitalized. Immediately after I was 42 , I was wheeled down to the X-ray room. Just at the door sat an elderly woman(judging from her voice) asked the orderly(护工) who had been wheeling me:" What is your name?" “What’s your name?” the orderly 43 to me. "Harold Krents", I replied. "Harold Krents", he repeated. "When was he born?" "When were you born?"…This continued for about five minutes before I finally interrupted, "Look, this is absolutely 44 . OK, I can’t see, but it’s go to become pretty 45 to both of you that I don’t need an interpreter(翻译)." “He says he doesn’t need an interpreter," the orderly reported to the woman.
The 46 misconception of all is the view that because I cant see, I can’t 47 . I was turned down by over forty law firms, 48 my qualifications included a cum laude degree from Harvard Law School. The 49 to find jobs, the continuous 50 of being told that it was impossible for a blind person to 51 law, the rejection letter, not based on my lack of 52 but rather on my disability, will always remain one of the most upsetting experiences of my life.
53 , the Department of Labor issued laws that demand equal 54 opportunities for the disabled. The business community’s response has been 55 . The attitude towards the disabled is beginning to change.

The nine-year-old boy was attracted by the sight of my father practicing martial arts the moment he walked into the gym. As my father threw speedy punches(出拳) into the 36 bag-yet was hardly able to move it-the boy walked slowly toward him.
My father, 37 of the boy’s stare, jammed a couple of sharp sidekicks into the bag to end his 38 . He picked up his towel, sat down on a nearby bench, and began 39 his face and hands.
“Hey, mister,” said the boy. My father 40 at the boy, bringing the towel down off his face and putting it around to the back of his neck. “Do you know karate or 41?” the boy asked.
“Actually, I know Tae Kwon Do,” my father answered.
“Cool. What 42 are you?”
“Black belt,” my father said. “You like martial arts?”
“Yeah, and I want to know if you can show me a 43!”said the kid. “Can you show me how to 44 someone?”
My father 45 for a moment before he said, “Come here.” and 46 with his hand for the boy to come 47. His expression was serious.

eBooks still some way away from students
Twelve-year-old Tang Yin is one of the earliest students to test a digital textbook in China. The boy said he was a little 11 when he received the monochromatic(单色的) flat device in April, 2010, because he thought it should be a “ 12 cool” laptop. But Tan still cherishes(珍爱) his new equipment like “protecting my 13 ,” said the fifth grader. After all, not every student has the opportunity to 14 the eBook, which is worth $294 (¥2,000 yuan), he said.
The 50 eBooks, 15 by Taiwan eBook manufacturer Chuanqi Photoelectric Technology in Yangzhou, Jiangsu province, enables one class at Yangzhou Sanyuanqiao Elementary School to be the 16 group of students in the Chinese mainland to replace their regular textbooks with electronic ones. Out of 1000 students, Tang’s class was the lucky 17 .
“Our school could not 18 the project without the company’s donation,” said Yuan Shishan, vice-headmaster of the primary school. 19 the digital book is considered environmentally friendly, because it replaces paper books and saves money in the long run, the price is much higher than most Chinese 20 can afford. Also, some technical defects, the 21 of taking notes and monochromatic display, make the eBook fail to meet the expectations of students and teachers.
“There’s still a/an 22 way to go before the eBook really plays an important role in education,” said the headmaster.
According to Yuan, the annual average income of a 23 family in Yangzhou is about 20,000 to 30,000 yuan, and neither the parents nor the school can afford the 2,000 yuan 24 book.
The school doesn’t allow the students to take their eBooks to their homes. The devices are 25 after class, and are locked in the headmaster’s office.
