I had been 40 an earthquake. For about two hours nobody came. Luckily I could reach the bag of 41 , so at least I had plenty to eat. Then I heard people 42 towards me. A team of people had come to 43 if anyone was under the 44 road. I called out, “I’m here!” I heard a shout. Soon a stranger climbed to my car. “How are you 45 ?”He asked. “Not too bad,”I said.

I noticed the woman when I entered the newsroom. My secretary told me she wanted to put an ad to 36 a baby.

But then something 41 me: the major newspapers carried ads like this and their 42 were larger than ours. “Have you tried the major ones?” I asked. “Yes, but all failed and one more wouldn’t 43 .” She handed me a check and left with a 44 smile.
A week later the woman called in a 45 of delight: “Please don’t run the ad again. We ’ve connected with 46 . The baby is due in a month.” Good news.

Now he’s smiling and starting to turn over. Of course I’m not 53 him. If he is a little slow.” She paused. “ Oh, I should tell you Ben has Down’s Syndrome.(唐氏综合症)” I stopped writing . I wasn’t sure how to 54 . But she smiled “Ben was meant for us, don’t you see? He needs me more than a 55 developing child would.” She sat on the sofa, holding her son.

I was assigned to take care of this patient a couple of weeks ago and began to grow closer to her. Communicating with her was 1 because everything she wanted to say to me had to be written on a notepad. As a nursing graduate, I was able to 2 her mind by observing even a slight 3 in a patient's facial expression.
One day, when I was checking the patient，she 4 me on the shoulder to show me a note，"Do you think I could be let go 5 the hospital in a month to see my niece get married?，，Taking her hand in mine, I told her that I could not 6 her，because I did not want to leave her a 7 sense of hope. 8，I made her believe that I would be there with her every step of the way on her journey toward 9 . Hearing that, the patient gave me a 10 and a hug.
Day by day, I built her 11 by walking around the floor with her. As I did this, I could see before my own eyes that her health was 12 improving and able to walk more steadily. On her last day in hospital, just before her niece’s 13 ，she wrote me one last note, “I couldn’t have done this 14 you; I love you.” After kissing goodbye, I had a strong sense of achievement. I realized that moments like this were 15 I woke up early for 16 in the hospital and spent long hours with her. I truly felt, and her 17 confirmed, that I was an 18 part of this woman’s recovery. My experience with this patient shows me that this career allows me to touch the 19 of people in ways that people in other 20 will never get to experience.

When I was 17，I read a quote that went something like：“If you live each day as if it were your last，someday you’ll most certainly be right” It made a deep 1 on me, and since then, for the past 33 years，I have 2 in the mirror every morning and asked myself：“If today were the last day of my life， 3 I want to do what I am about to do today?” And whenever the answer has been “No” for too many days in a 4 ，I know I need to change something．
Remembering that I’ll be 5 soon is the most important tool I’ve ever known to help me make the big 6 in life because almost everything falls away in the face of death， 7 only what is truly important.
About a year ago I was 8 with cancer. My doctor even advised me to go home and get my affairs 9 order，which is a doctor’s way of telling people to prepare to die．I 10 with that diagnosis all day． 11 ，at last an advanced test showed that it was a very rare cancer that is 12 with surgery．I had the surgery and I’m fine now.
13 wants to die．Even people who want to go to heaven don’t want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all 14 ．No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be，because death is very likely the single best invention of 15 ．It is life's change agent. It clears out the old to 16 for the new．Right now the new is you．But someday not too 17 from now，you will gradually become the old and be cleared away．Sorry to be so dramatic，but it is quite true.
Your time is 18 ，so don’t waste it living someone else’s 1ife．Don’t be 19 by dogma (教条) —which is living with the results of other people’s thinking．Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner 20 ．And most importantly，have the courage to follow your heart.
A．joke B．curse C．decision D．impression

There was once a boy who was very rich and clever but nothing could make him feel happy. He had almost everything a boy could ever want, so he was only _36_ in the most rare things.

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.

I was nineteen years old the first time I saw my own true character.
My trip to and from work each day included a ten-minute walk through the heart of downtown, where the 36 often gathered. Like most busy citizens, I learned to 37 those nameless faces. When it came to homeless beggars, my 38 life experience had led me to one 39 that they are on the street because they choose to be, probably due to alcohol or drugs.
It was an extremely cold day. When I passed the groups of beggars as usual, I heard a shaky voice target me.
“Spare some change?” he asked.
I didn’t even 40 looking up at his nameless face. I briefly 41 him walking into a liquor store and buying whiskey with the money we spared him. Like most teenagers, it took me only moments to 42 him.
“I have no money on me,” I said quickly
Looking back now, I feel as if God had set out that day to teach me a lesson. And God 43 . Just a few feet past him, I managed to find the only ice patch on the sidewalk. I 44 and landed heavily on my right knee. The 45 was almost killing me as I tried to get up. Then I heard a shaky voice only inches above me.
“Are you all right?” he asked.
I knew immediately this was the man I had just rushed past. Even in pain, I 46 took a quick moment to sniff for the smell of alcohol on his breath. There was none. He wasn’t 47 . I saw the 48 in his eyes.
I 49 to get to my feet. He held my arm as I walked difficultly to the nearby bus stop.
“My name is Mike,” he said. “That’s quite a fall you took, and you really need to get it checked by a doctor,” he said with deep 50 .
“This bus goes past the hospital,” I said.
Mike paused, and a look of sudden 51 crossed his face. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a small cup. He took out all the change and held it out toward me.
“I think there’s just enough here for you to take the bus,” he said,
I was highly embarrassed as I remember my 52 . I reached for my purse and took out my change. At least ten dollars. I offered Mike all my change.
“Thank you and take care of yourself,” I said. Both of us knew that few minutes earlier I couldn’t have 53 what happened to him.
Mike held his cup tightly, 54 it as if it were the first gift he had ever received.
A half cup of change seemed too small a gift for the man who gave a 55 to every nameless face I’ve ever seen.
