Mr. Klein told the class that a new student, Inez, would join them soon. He ______32______ that Inez was deaf. She “talked” with others by using sign language. Mr. Klein knew sign language, and he decided to teach his students so that they could also “talk” with Inez.
First, they learned to sign the letters. Some letters were hard to ______33_______. Other letters, such as C, were easier because the shape of the hand was the same as the shape of the letter.
The next thing they learned was finger spelling. They signed one letter after another to spell a word. They ____34_______ with two-letter words such as at and on. Then they spelled ___35_______ words.
Finally, Mr. Klein showed that ___36_______ one sign could be used for a whole word. To make the sign for the word fine, a person spreads out the fingers on one hand, ___37___ the thumb to the chest, and moves the hand away from the chest. Signing is not just ___38______with the hands. Expressions on the face are also ___39_____. The students learned to sign a question mark by using expressions on the face.
When Inez first entered the classroom, she looked ____40_______. But the students signed, “Good morning, Inez.” She gave the class a big smile and signed back, “What a wonderful ____41_____!”

Monday morning is an important time at our school. All of the students go to the playground. We listen to music, and we 16 the national flag go up.
Usually, one student gives a talk on Monday mornings. One Monday last year, a boy gave the talk. He was 17 and excited! When I saw him, I wanted to have a try, too.
Can I really do it?
Last week, our teacher said our class should give the talk. My teacher 18 me, “I know you want to have a try. Next Monday, you can give the talk. Go and write something down. 19 for it, I’m sure you’ll do well.”
“Thank you,” I answered. It was such a great 20 for me! When I got home, I was excited. I wrote two pages for the talk. I read them again and again. When I read, I asked my parents 21 . I wanted to make my teacher happy.
Monday morning came. I began to feel 22 . When did I last give a talk to 23 many people? Never! This was my first time. Could I really 24 it ? Maybe I couldn’t finish the talk.
When I got to school, we all went out to playground. I 25 in front of everyone. I opened my mouth, but I couldn’t say anything.
“Take it easy,” I said to 26 . “Don’t be nervous. You can do it.”
Just then, I looked down at everyone. I saw about 1,000 eyes. They were all looking at me ! I couldn’t 27 stand up.
I looked at their eyes more carefully. Their eyes were saying, “You can do it! Don’t be afraid, just talk!”
I 28 a big breath. Then I began to talk. It wasn’t hard. It was easy.
I don’t know 29 I finished my talk. But I did it. I felt so good that day. I showed myself 30 everyone what I can do.

My mum only had one eye. She cooked for students and teachers to 16 the family when I was young.
One day my mum came to 17 hello to me in primary school. I was so embarrassed（尴尬的） that I threw her a hateful 18 and ran out.
The next day at school, one of my classmates said, “Your mum only has one eye!” and 19 at me.
I hated my mum and decided to leave her, so I studied very hard. Later I got a chance to go abroad to study and I left my mother. 20 graduation I worked, bought a house and got 21 there. Then I had kids of my own. I was happy with my wife and my kids. But one day someone knocked at my door. It was my 22 !When she stood by the door, my children laughed at her, and I 23 at her, “How dare you come to my house and scare my children! GET OUT OF HERE NOW!” And to this, my mum 24 answered, “Oh, I’m so sorry. I may have got the wrong 25 ,”and she disappeared.
One day, a letter regarding a school reunion（聚会） came to my house. So I 26 to my wife that I was going on a business trip. After the reunion, I went to the old house.
My neighbours said that she 27 . I did not have a single tear. They handed me a letter that she had wanted me to have.
My dearest son,
I am thinking 28 you all the time. I’m sorry that I came to your house and scared your 29 .
I was so glad when I heard you were coming for the reunion. But I may not be able to even get out of bed to see you. I’m sorry that I was still an embarrassment to you when you were growing up.
You see…when you were very little, you got into an accident, and lost your eye. As a mother, I couldn’t stand watching you grow up with one eye. So I gave you 30 .
… With all my love to you!
Your mother

Last week Lu visited England. He stayed with my grandmother. He said it was a strange visit. “I don’t understand, but I 16 your grandmother a lot. When I arrived, I gave her a 17 from Suzhou. She looked in it and asked me to take it back. Then I saw a red spider(蜘蛛) on the table so I killed it for her and she seemed very 18 . Do English people like spiders?”
“Later we went shopping. Someone was painting a shop 19 , so there was a ladder. Grandmother 20 me walking under it and said I must walk around it. I liked the shops and bought a smart 21 for my father and some new shoes for myself. When we got back, I put the shoes on the table and opened the umbrella to wonder 22 it was all right. Your grandmother came in and 23 !”
“Then I broke a small 24 in the bathroom. Your grandmother’s face went white. I felt very sorry. When I left I gave 25 grandmother some flowers. She counted and there were 13. She 26 it. I think she was happy I was going.”
I 27 to Lu, “My grandmother follows the old customs(习俗). You must not give someone an empty purse 28 they will have no money. You must not kill a “money spider” or the same will happen. It is very unlucky to walk under a ladder and to put new shoes on the table. A(n) 29 umbrella in a house means someone will die. Breaking a mirror brings seven years’ bad luck, and 13 is 30 a very unlucky number. You were really making my grandmother very afraid. ”

“Hi! John.” Mary ran towards me with a bright smile, saying, “I’m going to have a dance performance tonight. I hope you’ll come. Here is the ticket. Don’t forget!” Then she 41 in a hurry.
“What? Dance? Is that 42 ?” I asked myself. Mary was not such kind of girl. She was quite common one. I had never seen her wearing colorful clothes. In fact, she really did not know 43 to dress up. What a terrible thing!
“I should go to, I must go to.” I thought.
I arrived at the hall with the ticket, found my seat and sat down. Her performance was the seventh one. I knew I would have a 44 time before her turn, for I had no sense of art, 45 her performance was worth(值得)watching, no matter how long I would wait.
Time went 46 , I tried my best not to fall asleep.
Just then, came the words, “Let’s welcome the next exciting dance – Latin!”
Hearing this, I opened my eyes as large as possible, 47 to lose anything. Wearing a golden and shiny skirt, Mary appeared. She danced with a sweet smile, looking like a pretty butterfly flying … I could 48 believe my eyes.
After all the performance ended, I 49 her at the gate.
“Hi!” She stood in front of me with her crystal(水晶) shoes. “How do you feel?”
“Fantastic!” I answered.
“Ha, ha. I knew it would be.” She could not hide her excitement, laughing 50 a child.
At that time, I realized that every girl has a pair of special shoes which are like the crystal shoes of Cinderella.

This happened to me at the age of twelve. It seems like a long time to remember the name of the old lady. Yet it keeps in my 35 that she taught me a lesson in tolerance(宽容) which I shall never forget.
On a winter afternoon, a friend and I were 36 stones onto the roof of the old lady’s house. I found myself a perfectly smooth stone and threw it out. The stone was too smooth, however, so it slipped(滑) from my hands and 37 straight not for the roof but for a small window on the old lady’s back porch(门廊). At the sound of broken 38 , we knew we were in trouble and ran away.
I was too scared(胆怯) about getting caught by the old lady that first night. However, a few days later, when I was sure that I hadn’t been 39 , I started to feel guilty(有罪的) for what I had done. She 40 greeted me with a smile each day when I gave her the newspaper, but I was no longer able to act comfortably.
I made up my mind to 41 for her window with my paper delivery(发送) money I collected. I put the money in an envelope with a note explaining I was 42 for breaking her window and hoped that the seven dollars would cover the cost for repairing it.
I waited 43 it was dark, snuck(悄悄地走) up to the old lady’s house and put the letter I didn’t sign in her door. Once again, I could have the freedom of lookingstraight 44 the old lady’s kind eyes.
The next day, I handed the old lady her paper and was able to return the warm smile that I was 45 from her. She thanked me and gave me a bag of cookies.
Reaching for the cookies, I 46 an envelope and pulled it out of the bag. When I opened the envelope, I was surprised to see the seven dollars and a short note that said, “I’m proud of you!”
