Anna lived on the side of a valley. One winter, there was a very big flood, and a lot of houses 36 Anna's were washed away. Anna's house was high enough to escape the flood, so when the water had disappeared and the other houses were __37 there with no roof and no walls and all covered with __38 , her house was 39 quite all right.
Her house was quite small, her husband was dead, and she had four children , 40 Anna took in one of the families that had lost 41 in the flood and she 42 her home with them until it was 43 for them to rebuild their houses.
Anna's friends were 44 when they saw Anna do this. They could not understand why Anna wanted to give 45 so much more work and trouble when she already had quite a few children to 46 .
"Well," Anna 47 her friends, "at the end of the First World War, a woman in the town where I 48 lived found herself very poor, because her husband 49 in the war and she had a lot of children, 50 I have now. The day before Christams, this woman said to her children, ‘We won’t be able to have much for 51 this year, so I’m going to 52 only one present for all of us. Now I’ll go and get it.’ She came back 53 a girl who was even poorer than they, and who had no parents. ‘Here’s our present, ’ she said to her children. The children were 54 to get such a present. They welcomed the little girl, and she grew up as their sister. 55 was that Christmas present.

“This Friday we’ll have the yearly Egg Drop Challenge,” said our science teacher, Mr. Baker. “You can work alone or with a partner.”
My friend, Cassie, and I smiled at each other. We always worked on projects 36 .
The 37 of the challenge was simple—to build a protective container to keep an egg from breaking when 38 the stadium wall.
I made my sandwich that afternoon while waiting for Cassie. 39 the butter-cream gave me an idea.
“I have a brilliant design for our 40 container!” I said when Cassie arrived. “We can 41 the egg with some butter-cream.”
“Why not put the egg in a basket with a parachute42 ?” Cassie rolled her eyes. “The parachute is better than that stupid idea.”
I couldn’t believe it. Of course we’d had our little 43 in the past, but she’d never called any of my ideas “ 44 ” before.
“Then I’ll build mine and you build yours!”
45 words had been out, our friendship was challenged.
When Friday finally arrived, I had to 46 Cassie’s Egg Force One looked pretty good. 47, my Egg-cellent Egg Cream didn’t look quite scientific. We kids carried our containers up three stadium steps and dropped them over the side wall. Those whose eggs broke were out; those whose eggs survived 48 three more steps and dropped them again. This would go on till the last egg broke.
After four rounds, only Cassie and I were 49 . I let go of my box. I heard someone say “ew” after seconds. Had my egg broken? I raced down the 50 . The sidewalk was dotted with egg shells(蛋壳) from those51 drops. Finally I found my little Egg-cellent Egg Cream.
“That looks like egg drop soup, Laura,” Cassie said. She was holding her Egg Force One. My 52 raced. Had she won? I looked at her basket.53 .
“My egg bounced (弹起) 54 ,” she explained, pointing to a broken shell.
“A tie(平局),” Mr. Baker said.
Cassie looked at me, and her glare(瞪眼)55 . I laughed. She smiled…

The back door of the ambulance (救护车) was suddenly shut and the driver ran to the front, jumped into the seat, and started the engine. Inside were the 36 parents, Mr. and Mrs. Green, the mother hol

The driver, Mr. White, 39 his siren (警报器) and flashing light, and started speeding toward the 40 hospital, fighting against 41 . The cars ahead of him pulled out of way 42 he drove through the busy traffic. From the back of the ambulance the parents were shouting at him to 43 , since Ally almost stopped breathing. In front of him he saw some traffic 44 , with the red “stop” light shining. Mr. White knew he had no time to lose, so he drove straight past the traffic lights, looking 45 his left and right as he did so.
Coming towards him from his right was a 46 . The driver had the windows 47 , since the car was air-conditioned, and he was playing his radio. He did not hear the ambulance.
The lights were 48 , so he drove straight 49 into the path of the ambulance. Mr. White tried to stop his ambulance, but it was too late. It hit the taxi. Everyone was shaken but no one was hurt. Mr. White looked back to see 50 little Ally was. He was 51 to see relief instead of fear in the face of the parents.
“Look!” cried Mrs. Green. “She is 52 again.”
“It must have been the crash (撞击),” said her husband. “It 53 the food out of her throat.” The baby’s color was turning normal, and she was
crying in a loud 54 healthy voice.
They were all joyful, and quite forgot about the 55 , the taxi, and the lines of cars all around them.

My husband hasn’t stopped laughing about the thing that happened to me. It’s 16 now but it wasn’t that time.
Last Friday, after doing all the family shopping in town, I 17 a rest before catching the train, so I bought a 18 and some chocolate and went to the station coffee shop that was a cheap, self-service place with long 19 to sit at. I put my heavy bag down on the floor, put the newspaper and chocolate on the table to 20 a place and went to get a cup of coffee.
When I came back with the coffee, there was someone in the 21 seat. It was one of those 22 young
man, with dark glasses and torn clothes, and hair colored bright 23 at the front, not so unusual these days. What did 24 me was he’d started to eat my chocolate! Naturally, I was annoyed. However, to avoid trouble—then really I was rather uneasy about him—I just25 down at the front page of the newspaper, tasted my coffee, and took a bit of chocolate. The boy looked at me 26 . then he t
ook another piece of my chocolate. I could hardly 27 it. Still I didn’t want to start an argument. When he took a28 piece , I felt more 29 than annoyed. I thought, “ Well, I shall have the last piece.” And I 30 it.
The boy gave me a 31 look, and then stood up. As he left, he shouted out, “This woman is mad!” Everyone32 . That really made me feel silly, but it was33 when I finished my coffee and got ready to leave. My face went red—as red as his hair when I34 I’d made a mistake. It wasn’t my chocolate he’d been taking. There was mine, unopened, just under my 35 .

I was walking down the road one day when my cellphone rang. I heard a little girl on the other end 36 ,“Dad, please come back soon. I miss you so much!” Because I just have a little 37 , I knew it was a wrong number. So I rudely 38 “you’ve dialed the wrong number!”and then 39 .
During the following days, I got the same call 40 .But I didn’t care much about it.
Then one day she contin
ually called me, 41 I didn’t answer. In the end, I answered the phone and heard a torpid(有气无力的) voice, “ Dad, please come back. I miss you so much! Dad , I m 42 so much pain! Mom said you were too busy to take 43 of me. But, Dad ,please 44 me again, OK?” The kind of 45 was difficult to reject. I made a loud kiss on the phone and heard the 46 voice say, “Thank you … Dad , I am so … happy…”
Shortly after this, I became 47 about who had been on the other end of my phone. So I called back, and a woman answered, “Sorry, sir. I am really sorry to have 48 you. My daughter has suffered from bone cancer 49 she was born. And her father … died in a(n) 50 last week. I 51 not tell her the news. Po
or baby. When she couldn’t 52 the painful chemotherapy(化疗), she would cry for her dad, who had always 53 her.
I really cou

“How is your daughter now?” I couldn’t 54 to ask.
“She has 55 . You must have kissed her on the phone, because she went with a smile,” she said, “and I am glad that she gets rid of the pain and stays with her father forever.”
I couldn’t keep my tears back.

A woman in her sixties lived alone in her little cottage with a pear tree at her door. She spent all her time taking care of the tree. But the children nearby drove her 16 by making fun of her. They would climb her tree and then run away with pears, 17 “Aunty Misery” at her.
One evening, a passer- by asked to 18 for the night. Seeing that he had an 19 face, she let him in and gave him a nice 20 . The next morning the stranger, actually a sorcerer (巫师), thanked her by granting (允准) her 21 that anyone who climbed up her tree 22 not be able to come back down until she 23 it.
When the children came back to steal her 24 , she had them stuck on the tree. They had to beg her long 25 she gave the tree permission to let 26 go. Aunty Misery was free from the 27 at last.
One day another man 28 her door. This one did not look trustworthy to her, 29 she asked who he was . “I am Death, I’ve come to take you 30 me.” said he.
Thinking fast Aunty Misery said, “Fine, but I’d like to 31 some pears from my dear tree to remember the 32 it brought to me in this life. But I am too 33 to climb high to get the best fruit. Will you be so 34 as to do it for me?” With a deep sigh, Mr. De
ath climbed up the tree 35 and was immediately stuck to it. No matter how much he warned or begged, Aunty Misery would not allow the tree to let Death go.

While eating lunch with my 4-year-old daughter this afternoon at a fast food restaurant, I noticed an old man walking to the table with a stick. The manager kindly carried the food for him.

It was early in the morning, on a lonely road. It's 36 heavily. A 9-year-old boy was in the car with his mother, who was 37 him to school. Suddenly, the car went off the road, 38 several times, and came to rest upside down in a ditch(沟渠) filled with water.
Luckily, both the mother and son were 39 seatbelts. The mother suffered a blow to her head and was unable to move. The boy was frightened but 40 . As water came through broken windows in the car, he 41 unbuckled (解开) himself, climbed out of the 42 window, made his way around to the driver's side, and reached inside the 43 to free his trapped mother. With great effort, he managed to 44 her, pull her through the window and up to the road, where they were soon 45 .
His mother later recalled her experience of the 46 . Being unable to move or even 47 to offer instructions ( 指导) or encouragement to her son, she was 48 by her little son's action. She recalled 49 her boy saying out loud as he pulled her through the water, “I think I can, I think I can!”
It seemed 50 that this little boy's act of courage was from one of his favourite books: The Little Engine that Could. In that 51 , when everyone else had52 hope, the Little Engine carried the heavy load of toys and good things to eat over the hill to the children waiting on the other side. He had 53 and took action. Obviously this book had left a 54 impression before the accident that rainy 55 and motivated ( 激励) the son to take action if the terrifying moments.

One stormy night many years ago, an elderly man and his wife entered a small hotel in Philadelphia. Trying to get out of the 36 _, the couple went to the front desk hoping to 37 for the night.
“Could you 38 give us a room here?” the husband asked.
The clerk, a 39 man with a winning smile, looked at the couple and 40 that there were three conventions(大会) in town.
“All of our 41 are taken,” the clerk said. “But I can’t send a 42 couple like you 43 into the rain at 1 o’clock in the morning. Would you please be 44 to sleep in my room? It’s not exactly a suite(套房), but it will be good enough to make you45 for the night.”
The couple said no politely.
“Don’t 46 me. It is just fine with me,” the clerk told them.
As he paid his bill the next morning, the elderly man said to the clerk, “You are the kind of manager who should be the boss of the best hotel. Maybe someday I’ll build 47 for you.” The three of them had a good 48 .
Two years passed. The clerk had almost forgotten it 49 he received a letter from the old man. It recalled(使回忆) that stormy night and contained a round-trip(双程的) 50 to New York, asking the young man to pay them a visit. The old man met him in New York, and 51 him to the corner of Fifth Avenue and 34th Street.
He then pointed to a great new 52 there, a palace of reddish stone. “That,” said the old man, “is the hotel I have just built for you to 53_ .”
“You must be 54 ,” the young man said.
“I am sure I am not,” said the old man, the name of 55 was William Waldorf Astor, and the magnificent structure was the original Waldorf-Astoria Hotel. The young clerk, George C. Boldt became its first manager.
