Billy couldn’t 49 Rocky’s charm (魅力) and began laughing as his anger melted away. Throughout the day, Billy never left Rocky’s side, feeding him, being gentle with him and even 50 the other students while Rocky was sleeping. Billy was known for doing anything he could to avoid 51 , but on this day he found a good dog story, “Clifford’s Puppy Days,” and read it to Rocky. How 52 I was at the sight of Billy reading happily！My little dog was able to 53 Billy’s day from one of anger and frustration to one of laughter, gentleness and 54 .That day Rocky more than helped me with my 55 ; he helped to change the life of a child!

The Best Holiday

By Thanksgiving, she had collected only $49. I said, “ You 23 have your pick from my bicycle 24 .” “Thanks, Daddy. But your bikes are so old.” She was right. All my girls’ bikes were 1950s models, not the kind a kid today would 25 choose.
As Christmas 26 near, Emily and I went bike shopping. As we left one store, she 27 a Salvation Army volunteer standing next to a big pot. “Can we give something, Daddy ?” she asked. “Sorry, Em , I’m out of 28 .”
Throughout December, Emily continued to 29 hard. Then one day, she made a 30 announcement. “You know all the money I’ve been saving ?” she said hesitantly. “I’m going to give it to the poor people.” So one cold morning before Christmas, Emily handed her total savings of $ 58 to a volunteer who was really very 31 .
32 by Emily’s selflessness, I decided to contribute 33 of my old bicycles to a car dealer who was collecting used bikes for poor children. 34 I selected a shiny model from my collection, however, it seemed as if a second bike took on a glow(发光). Should I contribute two? No, one would be enough. But I couldn’t 35 the feeling that I should give a second bike. When I later 36 the bikes, the car dealer said, “You’re making two kids very 37 , sir. Here are your tickets. For each bicycle contributed, we’re 38 away one chance to win a girls’ mountain bike.”
Why wasn’t I surprised when that second ticket proved to be the 39 ? I like to think it was God’s way of 40 a little girl for a sacrifice beyond her years--- while giving her dad a lesson in the process.

I was a single parent of four small children, working at a low-paid job. Money was always tight, but we had a 36 over our heads, food on the table, clothes on our backs, and if not a lot, always 37 . Not knowing we were poor, my kids(孩子们) just thought I was 38 . I’ve always been glad about that.
It was Christmas time, and although there wasn’t 39 for a lot of gifts, we planned to celebrate with a family party. But the big 40 for the kids was the fun of Christmas 41 .

Driving home, everyone was in high Christmas spirits, 47 my younger daughter, Ginger, who was unusually 48 . She had only one small, flat bag with a few candies — fifty-cent candies!

If I had known earlier that there was a reason why I was a low achiever, I may not have worked so hard in my late twenties and early thirties. I was writing. I was working for no other reason than to hear people 51 me.
Most people who 52 university read at least twice as fast as I do. I've never known my left 53 my right. I avoid dialing a telephone if I can, because I sometimes have to try three times to get the number 54 . I hear that recording "The 55 you have reached is not in service." more than any man on the earth.
In spite of my 56 I view dyslexia(朗读困难) as a gift, not something bad. Many dyslexics are good at right-brain, advanced thought, and that's what my kind of creating writing is. I' m starting with nothing and coming up with something that didn't 57 before. That' s my advantage.
I 58 my career to Ralph Salisbury, my writing 59 at the university of Oregon, who looked past my misspellings and gave me 60 and hope. I never looked 61 .
I am also very good at observing. This means nothing in school, but when I 62 books or scripts, I'm seeing everything in my 63 .
I write 64 . I go like the wind and can 65 up to 15 pages a day. Writing is not the 66 . I have no problem in downloading; it's inputting where things get jumbled(混乱).
The real 67 I have for the dyslexics is not that they have to 68 with jumbled input, but that they will give up before they finish school. Parents have to create victories 69 they can, whether it' s music, sports or arts. You want your dyslexic child to be able to say, "Yeah, reading is 70 . But I have other things I can do."
