More Than I Had Dreamed Of
From the time I was seven, I had a dream of becoming a member of the Students Union．I always 36 my school leaders for taking responsibility for all of us．So I dreamed of being a leader．
Years flew by, and soon I was able to participate in the elections, 37 I would win．But the reality struck that I hadn't had a chance．I wasn't pretty．Girls across the school hardly knew me．I just did not have what it 38 to win a school election．I was 39 ．
As I cried in my room that evening, I 40 took a deep breath and decided I wouldn't stop dreaming．I decided that I would 41 for elections again in my final year at school—and I would win．
I recognized that my 42 had a lot of things in their favor．What were the 43 that would work in my favor? I had good grades, and I was friendly and helpful．And my biggest 44 was the faith I had．I would not allow my 45 appearance to hold me back from putting my best foot forward．That evening, I 46 my election plans a whole year in advance．
I realized that girls would have to get to know me and recognize that I had the ability to 47 them．I loved making friends and I liked being helpful, 48 I decided that perhaps I could use these qualities to work to my advantage．In order to learn how to present a great election 49 , I also attended a course on effective public speaking．
The day after the election, when the principal announced I won the second highest number of votes, the students 50 That joy on the faces of all my friends showed me that my victory was 51 theirs．
Suddenly, I realized that I had 52 much more than I had dreamed of．I had made many new friends and had helped people 53 the way．I had won the 54 and love of my school-mates and they knew me as somebody who would stand by them．I was able to put a smile on their faces and 55 their day．

Signs can sometimes be seen at the entrance of a house, expressing that a tramp（流浪汉）has passed. This special sign-language is frequently 50 by tramps to inform their 51 whether the host of a certain house is friendly or unfriendly, and to 52 them the trouble of making unnecessary calls.
Quite 53 one day, I came across a real tramp. He was such a rare sight these days that I stood some distance away and watched him. He was dressed just as a tramp should be in, old worn trousers, and a jacket many sizes too big for him. On his head there was a battered old hat and his boots were so old and worn; they were almost coming into pieces.
But the man himself looked cheerful as if he had not a 54 in the world. He rubbed his nose with his forefinger, 55 a funny turn, laid a small parcel 56 the front gate, and began 57 a sign made by a former caller. Although the sign was meaningless to me, it must have been 58 , for the tramp’s face lit up with satisfaction. He entered the front gate 59 and rang the bell. When the door opened, I saw him raise his hat 60 couldn’t hear his words. The 61 was very short indeed, for no sooner had he spoken a few words than the door closed fiercely in his face.
I felt 62 for him as he walked sadly out of the house. But just as quickly, his face lit up again and he moved quickly towards the gate. There he stopped, looked at the sign, and shook his head seriously as if he had made a bad mistake. 63 deeply into his pockets, he produced a piece of chalk, rubbed out the existing sign and made a new one in its place. He stared at it for a moment smiling to himself, then gathered his belongings, pushed back his hat and began walking towards the next house at an unhurried 64 , whistling as he went along.

Around 5:30 p.m., I was on the bus one day and everybody on the bus was quiet. People had just 36 from work, students had just finished their 37 class and everybody was a little 38 from a long day. It wasn't a particularly good day for me as I was feeling quite tired too. I was just looking outside of the 39 without any specific thought in my mind. It was the same 40 I had seen many times before, people hurrying home.
In front of me, there was a man sitting in the seat who didn't look too clean. 41 he was looking out of the window, the man suddenly 42 to me and pointed at something outside. "Hey, look." He had a big smile on his face. I turned to the 43 he was pointing to and there it was ---- the beautiful Catalina mountains burning with a beautiful 44 . The mountains were coated with bright pink light and shadows. He turned to other people on the bus and told them to look at the mountains. He 45
" Wow" and " It's so beautiful" again and again. Everybody on the bus 46 the views indeed.
The 47 view also helped me to 48 my long tiring day with a good feeling in my heart. But, more 49 , I was so inspired (鼓舞）to see that this man wanted to 50 the beautiful view with everybody on the bus, total strangers. His 51 act made me accidentally find something that I had lost which I didn't even know I had lost. He made me 52 that I had lost the feelings and the excitement I 53 have everyday. In my daily life, many things had 54 their color and movement. But he 55 me that things are still there ---- they never get lost.
