I didn’t cry when I learned I was the parent of a disabled child. I just sat still and didn’t say anything.
When Jenny was old enough, I sent her to a kindergarten(幼儿园). On the first morning, Jenny spent hours playing by herself. It seemed that she felt very(41).
However, to my joy, Jenny’s classmates always (42) her, “You got al your speling words right today!”In fact, her speling list was the (43). Later, she faced a very painful (44) —— at the end of the term, there was a game which had (45) to do with physical education. But Jenny was (46) in it.
My husband and I were anxious about the day. I wanted to let my child stay home! But my heart wouldn’t let me off that easily. So I (47) a pale, unwiling Jenny onto the school bus.
At the kindergarten, I was quite worried because of her (48) action, Jenny would probably hold up her team. The game went wel until it was time for the sack(麻袋)race. Surely Jenny would find it (49). Now each child had to climb into a sack, jump to the finishing line, return and climb out of the sack. I noticed Jenny standing near the end of her line of players.
But as it was her turn to join, a change took place in her (50). The talest boy behind Jenny placed his hands on her waist(腰). Two other boys (51) in front of her. The moment the player before Jenny stepped out from the sack, the two boys (52) the sack suddenly and kept it open while the tal boy lifted Jenny and (53) her into it. A girl nearby took her hand and supported her (54) Jenny got her balance. Then she jumped forward, smiling and proud. In the cheers of the teachers, schoolmates and parents, I silently thanked the warm, understanding people in life who made it (55) for my disabled daughter to be like her felow human beings. Then I finaly cried.

I like all kinds of chocolate, especially bitter chocolate. So when Mother had bought one, I couldn’t help thinking about 36 .
I was helping Father in the yard when suddenly I got an idea. I could cut a piece 37 that chocolate without anyone knowing it.
I waited 38 Mother went outside feeding the chickens. Then I told Father I wanted to go for a drink of water. I went into the room and got the 39 down. Just when I had the knife ready to cut, I heard Mother coming. So I had to put the chocolate 40 into my shirt,
went to my mom and 41 the chocolate there. And then I went back to 42 Father.
All the rest of the afternoon, I didn’t dare to look at Father. Every time he spoke, it made me jump. My hands began shaking and my heart started 43 fast. I didn’t want the chocolate any more. I 44 wanted to get a chance to put it back.

Ever since I was little, my favourite season was winter. I loved to play in the snow and enjoy the hot chocolate.
46, winter never gave me the special gift of snow on my birthday. I would ask my grandmother 47 it didn’t snow on my birthday. She would laugh and tell me I asked too many questions. 48 one day, she promised(许诺)that she would make it snow on my next birthday.
That year, 49 my birthday, my grandmother died. I was sad but angry because she had promised to make it snow. The day of my sixth birthday, I woke up and ran to the window, 50 to see just one snowflake. But there was no snow. I felt mad at my grandmother. She had broken a promise.

Then I saw the white snow 54 down all around. I was so excited that I ran around screaming(尖叫) and laughing. My friends all laughed 55 me, but I didn’t care.
When I 56 home, my grandpa said he had a gift for me. I was 57 because he had given me a gift. It was a small white box, which looked old. I opened it. There was a crystal snowflake(水晶雪花) with a card that 58 , “Happy Birthday.”
How could this be? My grandpa said it was my grandmother’s final 59 on my “sweet sixteenth”. I cried.
I was 60 that my smiling grandmother angel was and had been watching over me.

When I was about 12 years old, I really wanted a new bike! I __36__ my parents my birthday wish, but I knew there was little hope because my family could __37__ have that money.
