During my second year of middle school, our teacher gave us a test. I studied hard and __46 well in all the subjects, so the questions were not difficult for me. 47 I stopped when I read the last one:“What is the 48 of the woman that cleans the school?”

In fact, I had never even thought about talking to her. I started to feel rather guilty(惭愧的).Finally, I 51 my paper, without finishing the last question.
Before the class ended, one student asked, “Will be last question count(计入) toward __52 grade?” “Of course,” the teacher said, “In your life, you will meet many people. All are important. They deserve(值得) your attention and care, even if you just 53 and say hello to them.”

On a cold December morning, my mother and I were walking home from pizza store. We were 1 warmly and equipped with the video___2___ we had been trying to watch. I was feeling a little tired 3 I was carrying our shopping bags of snacks and the video.
They were so 4 that I decided to throw away some of them. So I started to walk towards the dustbin __5___I noticed a poor man stepping out of the restaurant in front of us. He held a paper bag with his dirty hand. He 6 over to another nearby dustbin and started looking 7 it.
I suddenly felt very upset. I know this man would take all he could get, so I walked up to him and 8 the drink and some snacks to him. The man, with lines on his face and wrinkles(皱纹) on his forehead, looked up in 9 and took what I gave him.
A huge smile spread across his face and this made 10 feel indescribable satisfaction(满意). I felt like I couldn’t be happier with __11___, but then he said, “Wow, first someone gives me this sandwich, then this drink, and now some tasty food, this is my daughter’s 12 day!”

I now understand what is meant by the saying “giving is getting”. Everyone in the world needs help, everyone can 14 help and everyone will be helped by something kind.
The image(图像) of that man’s happiness 15 by my small gift appears in my mind every time I have the chance to do something nice.

In the depths of my memory, many things I did with my father still live. I call these things 1 and love.
I don’t remember my father ever getting into a swimming pool. But he did 2 the water. Any kind of 3 ride seemed to give him pleasure. 4 he loved to fish; sometimes he took me along.
But I never really liked being on the water, the way my father did. I liked being 5 the water, moving through it, having it all around me. I was not a strong 6 , or one who learned to swim early, for I had my 7 . But I loved being in the swimming pool close to my father’s office and 8 those summer days with my father, who 9 come by on a break. I needed him to see what I could do.

Sometimes, if I was left alone at his desk while he worked in the lab, an assistant or a student might come in and tell me perhaps I shouldn’t be playing with his 13 . But my father always showed up and said easily, “Oh, no, it’s fine.” Sometimes he handed me coins and told me to get 14 an ice cream…
