Last Christmas while staying with my parents, I 36 across some old love letters that my parents wrote to
each other. these letters were all piled up in a basket, dirty and 37 with dust. 38 to read and sort them, I asked
them if I could take the letters back to my Illinois home. They agreed.
As I carefully opened each letter, all of them 39 with age, I discovered a new page 40 unknown to me in
this private chapter of my parents’ lives.
My father used to 41 in the army. So his letters were full of frontline(前线) 42 of the things about the war.
Each of my mother’s letters was marked with her 1944 dark red lipstick(口红) kiss. I was 43 to these letters
like a magnet(磁铁).
Just six weeks after our Christmas visit, Daddy became very 44 and was hospitalized(住院). This time, he
was fighting a 45 kind of war. As I sat by his bedside, we discussed the 46 . He told me how much receiving
those lipstick-kissed letters had 47 to him when he had been so far from home.
It so happened that the next day would be February 14. From the 48 letters I chose the card my father had
sent mother in 1944 and brought it to my father’s bedside.
At his bedside, I joked with him, saying 49 .“Today is Valentine’s Day, don’t you want to sent Mother a
present?” He became more 50 when I handed him the old 51 . He carefully opened it and took out the card,
and when he 52 it, his eyes were filled with tears.
My father, in a voice tight with 53 read the loving 54 he’d sent to my mother fifty-six years earlier. And
this time, he could read it to her 55 .

In the evening I returned home from school 39 completely defeated. All I wanted to do was 40 into bed and wallow（沉迷于）in my own self-pity. I pulled back the covers on my bed and 41 a pile of cards left by my dad. Each card included a（n） 42 that it was to be opened on a 43 night that week.
I made it through that week 44 my father. Each card 45 to say just what I needed to hear. Tuesday’s card said, “The past is painful to think about and the 46 is impossible to imagine. Don’t try. Just take it one minute at a time.” On Wednesday my mood 47 when I read, “What you are feeling now is 48 and normal. It still feels very bad, but it is part of the healing 49 .” Friday’s card contained a poem he wrote. The last lines made me smile through my tears. “Whatever special 50 you face along life’s way, may you 51 that you will find the best in every day.” I was instructed to open the last card 52 the party I went to on Saturday night. In it he wisely reminded me to 53 . “The world isn’t so bad after a good laugh. The more you laugh, the more you heal.” Each card was signed, “Love, Dad.”

I grew up poor – living with six brothers, my father and a wonderful mother. We had 36 money and few worldly goods, but plenty of love and attention. I was 37 and energetic. I understood that no matter how poor a person was, they could 38 afford a dream.
My dream was to be a 39 .When I was sixteen, I could crush a baseball, throw a ninety-mile-per-hour fastball. I was also 40 : my high-school coach was Ollie Jarvis, who 41 me the difference between having a dream and showing strong belief. One particular 42 with him changed my life forever.
It was a summer and a friend recommended me for a summer 43 . This meant a chance for my first income—cash for a new bike and new clothes, and the 44 of savings for a house for my mother. The opportunity was attracting, and I wanted to 45 at it.
Then I realized I would have to 46 summer baseball to handle the work schedule, and that meant I would have to tell Coach Jarvis I wouldn’t be playing. I was 47 about this.
When I told Coach Jarvis, he was as 48 as I expected him to be. “You have your whole life to work,” he said. “Your 49 days are limited. You can’t afford to waste them.”
I stood before him with my head 50 , trying to think of how to explain to him why my dream of buying my mom a house and having money in my pocket was worth 51 his disappointment in me.
“How much are you going to make at this job?” he demanded.
“$ 3．25 an hour,” I replied.
“Well, is $ 3.25 an hour the price of a 52 ?” he asked.
That 53 laid bare for me the difference between wanting something right now and having a goal. I devoted myself to 54 that summer, and within the year I was offered a $ 20,000 contract. I signed with the Denver Broncos in 1984 for $ 1.7 million, and bought my mother the 55 of my dreams.

I am a team leader in an insurance company. We are going through a lot of changes right now, which is 36 much stress for all of us.
A few weeks ago I was having a day so 37 that I even doubted if I had the ability to do this challenging work, and was about ready to change to a less stressful job 38 . Something happened that day to change my way of 39 and I am so appreciative of this young lady. I want to let her know that the small act 40 .
On the top of my cubicle (工作隔间) I have a small collection of lighthouses (灯塔) to let people know where I am sitting 41 my team members have to find me for emergencies.
That day I came into the office and was about to get the day 42 when Crystal came over. I asked if she needed anything. And she said, “I 43 you something.” I looked at her with a 44 look and said, “Well, thank you, but why 45 you buy me anything?” I had never spoke to this young lady 46 . She said, “Every day I stand up and look across the 47 and see your lighthouses. Then I feel I am not alone and I encourage myself that there are always 48 things in life. I saw this on the way to work and thought 49 would like it. I wish it would have the same 50 as your lighthouses do.” In her hand she had a small globe with a lighthouse and a ship on it. I gave her a hug and 51 her. I don’t think she knows how much that small act of 52 changed my day: I remained 53 the rest of the day.
For anyone that reads this, I hope you remember, no matter what the 54 is, you could change someone’s day, 55 even his views on life.

Music has always been a great love of mine and, in my 20s, when my 16 was more manageable , I 17 ten years as a professional singer in restaurants, playing and singing folk songs. 18 that was years ago and times have changed. 19 I live with mother on a country farm.

When I told the owner of the shop about my 28 ; he gave me a long thoughtful29 . “This means a lot to you, doesn’t it?” he said. “Come with me.”
He led me 30 the crowded shop and to a bench with a large professional karaoke box on it. He placed his large hand 31 on his treasure and said, “I have 800 karaoke songs in here. You can take your 32 and I’ll record them for you. That should get you started.”
I 33 . Thanking him, I made a time with him to listen to all the songs and choose34 that I could sing. I have come full circle with his help.

The measure of a man’s real character is what he would do if he knew he would never be found out. ---Thomas Macaulay
Some thirty years ago, I was studying in a public school in New York. One day, Mrs Nanette O’Neill gave an arithmetic 36 to our class. When the papers were 37 she discovered that twelve boys had made exactly the same mistakes throughout the test.
There is nothing really new about 38 in exams. Perhaps that was why Mrs O’Neill didn’t even say a word about it. She only asked the twelve boys to 39 after class. I was one of the twelve.
Mrs O’Neill asked 40 questions, and she didn’t 41 us either. Instead, she wrote on the blackboard the 42 words by Thomas Macaulay. She then ordered us to43 these words into our exercise-books one hundred times.
I don’t know about the other eleven boys. Speaking for 44 I can say:it was the most important single 45 of my life. Thirty years after being introduced to Macaulay’s words, they 46 seem to me the best yardstick(准绳), because they give us a way to _47____ourselves rather than others.
48 of us are asked to make 49 decisions about nations going to war of armies going to battle. But all of us are called 50 daily to make a great many personal decisions. 51 the wallet, found in the street, be put into a pocket or turned over to the policeman? Should the 52 change received at the store be forgotten or 53 ? Nobody will know except 54 . But you have to live with yourself, and it is always 55 to live with someone you respect.

It was always thought that Treasure Island(金银岛) was the product（产物） of Robert Stevenson’s imagination（想像）. 36 ，recent research has found the true story of this exciting work .
Stevenson, a Scotsman, had lived 37 for many years .In 1881 he returned to Scotland to spend 38 .With him were his American wife Fanny and his son 39 .
Each morning they would go out for a 40 over the hills .They had been 41 this for several days before the weather suddenly took a turn for the worse. Kept indoors by the heavy rain, Lloyd, Stevenson’s son, felt the days 42 .To keep the boy happy, Robert asked the boy to do some 43 .
One morning, the boy came to Robert with a beautiful map of an island. Robert 44 that the boy had drawn a large cross in the middle of 45 . “What’s that?” he asked “That’s the 46 treasure”, said the boy. Robert suddenly 47 something of an adventure(冒险) story in the boy’s 48 .While the rain was pouring ,Robert sat down by the fire to write a story. He would make the 49 a twelve-year-old boy just like Lloyd .But who would be molded(塑造) into the hero — a pirate(海盗)?
Robert had a good friend named Henley, who walked with the 50 of a wooden leg , Robert had always wanted to 51 such a man in a story. 52 Long John Silver, the pirate with a wooden leg, was 53 .
So thanks to a 54 September in Scotland, a friend with a wooden leg and the imagination of a twelve-year-old boy, we have one of the greatest 55 stories in the English language.

In the middle of the night, Peter’s wife suddenly fell ill. She couldn’t help crying, “Oh, my stomach (胃)! Get the 16 !”
Peter, awaking from a deep sleep, thought his wife was only having a 17 dream.
“Stop that noise.” he said to her. He turned over and tried to go to 18 again, but his wife still cried out, “Oh, help! Help! I’m sure I’m 19 !”
Peter got out of bed and started 20 , but he could not find him any clothes.
“Where is my shirt?” he asked. His wife was 21 ill to tell him, and she could only cry, “Oh, my 22 stomach!”
As soon as he had put his clothes 23 , he said, “Now, my dear, are you quite 24 that you need the doctor? Surely you can wait 25 morning, can’t you?”
“No, I can’t. Go, go, go.” his wife shouted,“ 26 you will find me dead 27 the morning.”
So Peter went out into the dark street. He had only gone a few meters 28 he heard his wife calling him again.
“I’m 29 again now, and I shall not want the doctor.” she said softly.
Hearing this, he started running as 30 as he could towards the doctor’s. When he arrived there, he knocked at the door loudly enough to wake 31 around.
The doctor put his sleepy head out of the bedroom window and said, “Er? Who’s there?”
“Oh, Doctor.”Peter said to him, “I’ve very 32 news for you. My wife 33 ill with a terrible stomachache (胃疼). I was on my way to bring you to her, but she called me back to say the trouble had suddenly 34 her. So you need not come. Go back to 35 now,and sleep well!”
