An old man went to live with his son, daughter-in-law, and 4-year-old grandson. The old man’s hands 36 , his eyesight was not clear, and his 37 unsteady（不稳定的）. The family were 38 every night at the dinner table. But the elderly grandfather’s shaky hands and 39 sight made this rather difficult. Peas rolled off his spoon onto the floor. When he grasped the glass, 40 would often spill（洒落）onto the tablecloth.“We must do some-thing about grandfather,”said the husband.
So the husband and wife set a small table in the corner. There , grandfather ate 41 in the corner while the rest of the family enjoyed dinner at the dinner table. 42 grandfather had already broken a dish or two , his food was served in a 43 bowl. Sometimes, when the family 44 grandfather, he had a tear in his eye as he ate alone. 45 , the only words the couple had for him were sharp 46 when he dropped a fork or spilled food. The 4-year-old boy watched all this 47 .
One evening before supper, the father 48 his son playing with wood scraps（小块）on the floor. He asked the child sweetly :“What are you making?” Just as 49 , the boy answered:“Oh, I am making a little 50 for you and mama to eat your food from when I grow up.”The 4-year-old boy smiled and went back to 51 on it.
The words 52 the parents so much that they were 53 . Then tears started to stream down their cheeks. 54 no word was spoken , both knew what they had to do. That evening, the husband took grandfather’s hand and 55 led him back to the family table.

I’d been 16 for six days and was already prepared to deal with failure.
I remember that, when my mum me that morning, her voice wasn’t as screaming as it usually was. She had been for more than one hour getting everything ready, and I could feel she was me at the same time.
I stayed in bed for a few minutes. I was to leave its warmth and to face the suffering that I’d rather let myself forget for the past months. Finally, I dragged myself .
The first thing I thought of after getting up was to . I went to the kitchen and prepared a breakfast that was fairly , but was still too big for my appetite(食欲，胃口) that day.

I left the kitchen because even the made me feel sick.
I finished getting ready and tried to settle down. It didn’t , so I decided that my mum and I should go. We had time, so I thought we could practise parking. I , with the wheel hitting the pavement(人行道). After that, the little bit of confidence I had was . I tried two more times, but did not improve much. Then we went towards the driving site (地点).
I waited twenty minutes---just enough time to make myself believe that I was going to fail. Then, finally, it was my . I wasn’t sure of myself at all. I just wanted to get it over and make sure that I had to come back next Thursday.
The first thing I had to do was parking, which I did quite well. The that came with it hit me like a wave. The rest of the test went well and I passed it.
The of my mum made her face softer. I knew her worry was gone and she was happy for me.

Tears clouded my eyes as I stood in our washing room, holding Brett's jeans and shirt full of burn holes. Tired and defeated, I to the floor. The clothes were just one more thing Brett had . He often got almost everything in the house out of . Many windows in our house needed repair due to his breaking to steal money when he chose to live on the street. Yet none of this could compare to the emotional Brett had done to our once quiet home.
Brett came to live with us when he was 12 years old. During the next few years I had dealt with Brett as as possible, but inside I was shouting,"I don't want him in my house another day, Lord! I just can't him!" Having wiped my tears, I continued him as before.
When Brett was nearly 18, he landed again in Juvenile Hall(少管所). After that, my husband and I had to send Brett to a boarding school for helping teens.
At the ceremony, each graduate held a white rose to give to the person who had the most to him or her.
Brett spoke to his parents and then spoke to me, "You did so much. You were always there, no matter happened. My mom and dad, I was their kid. But you, troubled enough by me, always me such love. And I want you to k I love you for it."
, I stood as Brett placed the white rose in my hand and hugged me .
At that moment, tears in my eyes again, this time not for disappointment but for . Although I had struggled with silent toward my stepson, Brett had seen only my actions. Love is action. We may not always have positive feelings about certain people in our lives, but we can love them.

I could have easily gone through life without getting to know one of the most romantic feelings---love for a dog. For at least ten years my 1 had been suggesting that we get a dog. There were several reasons why the 2 came up. We had noticed that, on our block, couples with no children as a rule 3 one large or two small dogs. So we got one puppy (小狗) 4 we too had no children.
He flew into the house with the 5 of a Formula 1 (一级方程式赛车). In several minutes he ran over all the house, 6 from my shoulder onto the bed, and ended up in the 7 , where my wife washed him with 8 care. From that day on, the invisible（看不见的） 9 for the love of the new member of our household began at my home.
He seemed to 10 that at once. Most of the meals that my wife had 11 for him with greater care than those for me—he didn’t 12 look at them.
Every evening I went out walking with him. I could not know who was walking whom 13 one evening, when, tired from work, I 14 the walk. The dog was very angry and dragged me out.
Last night our dog pulled me by the ear with his teeth, 15 me up in my dream, and dragged me into the kitchen to make me turn off the 16 which had disturbed his sleep. I meekly（乖乖地）17 that I had forgotten to turn off the light, but that was not 18 . He looked at me like a teacher at a pupil who repeatedly makes 19 .
Now we finally know who’s the 20 at home, and for twenty years we had seriously argued whether it was my wife or I.

This is my third story．When I was seventeen, I 36 a quote （引文） that went something like, " If you live each day 37 it was your last, someday you'll most certainly be right．" Since then, for the past thirty-three years, I've looked 38 the mirror every morning and asked myself, "If today were the last day of my life, what would I do ?"

As she walked round the large shop, Edith realized how difficult it was to choose a suitable Christmas 16 for her father.
She 17 that he were as easy to please as her mother, who was 18 satisfied with perfume(香水). 19, shopping at this time of the year was not a most 20 job. People 21 on your feet, pushed you with their shoulders and almost 22 you over in their hurry in order to 23 something cheap ahead of you.
Partly to have a rest, Edith paused in front of a counter, where some beautiful ties were on 24. "They are 25 silk," the shop assistant told her with a smile trying to 26 her to buy one. But Edith knew from past 27 that her choice of ties hardly ever pleased her father.

When she got home, with her small but 32 present hidden in her handbag, it was time for supper and her parents were already 33 table. Her mother was in great 34. "Your father has at last decided to stop smoking," she told her daughter happily. Edith was so 35 that she could not say a single word.

When we read books we seem to enter a new world. This new world can be similar to the one we are living in, or it can be very 1 . Some stories are told 2 they were true. Real people who live in a normal world do real things; in other words, the stories are about people just like us doing what we do. Other stories, such as the Harry Potter books, are not 3 . They are characters and creatures that are very different from us and do things that would be 4 for us.
But there is more to books and writing than this. If we think about it, even realistic writing is only 5 . How can we tell the difference between what is real and what is not real? For example, when we read about Harry Potter, we do seem to learn something about the real world. And when Harry studies magic at Hogwarts, he also learns more about his real life than 6 . Reading, like writing, is an action. It is a way of 7 . When we read or write something, we do much more than simply look at words on a page. We use our 8 --- which is real --- and our imagination ---which is real in a different way --- to make the words 9 in our minds.
Both realism and fantasy use the imagination and the “magic” of reading and writing to make us think. When we read 10 realistic, we have to imagine that the people we are reading about are just like us, even though we know that we are real and they are not. It sounds 11 , but it works. When we read, we fill in missing information and 12 about the causes and effects of what a character does. We help the writer by pretending that what we read is like real life. In a way, we are writing the book, too.
Most of us probably don’t think about what is going on in our 13 when we are reading. We 14 a book and lose ourselves in a good story, eager to find out what will happen next. Knowing how we feel 15 we read can help us become better readers, and it will help us discover more about the real magic of books.

Who is setting your standards for you ?
A true story has it that one elder man 36 to jog around the local high school football field. As he huffed and puffed(气喘吁吁) along, the team was 37 . The players soon started running sprints up and down the field. The man told himself “I will 38 keep running until they quit.”
So he ran. And they ran. And he ran some more. And they kept running. And he kept running until he 39 finally run no more. He stopped in 40 . One of the players, equally out of breath, approached him and said in a crying voice, “Boy, I am so glad that you finally stopped. 41 told us we had to keep running 42 the old guy who was jogging !” He was watching them. They were watching him. He was letting them set his 43 , on the contrary, they allow him to set 44 .
My question is this: Are you keeping 45 with somebody else in your daily life? Are you 46 people to set your standards for you?
