A professor(教授)told his students to go into the city slums(贫民窟)to study the lives of 200 boys．He asked them to 1 reports about each boy’s life and future．Each of the students wrote, “He doesn’t have any hope．”
Twenty-five years 2 , another professor read about the earlier study．He told his students to 3 what had happened to the boys．They tried very hard and found that 176 of the boys had became successful 4 doctors, teachers and scientists．
The professor was very 5 wanted to know why．Luckily, all the men were living near the place and he was able to ask each one, “What made you 6 ?”Each one answered, “There was a teacher．”
The teacher was 7 living there, so the professor found her and asked the old woman 8 she had used to pull those boys 9 the slum, and change them into successful people．
The teacher’s 10 began to shine and said with a sweet smile, “It’s really very easy．I love those boys．”
It was Monday．Mrs Smith's dog was 1 , but there was no meat in the house．
Thinking that there was no 2 way, Mrs Smith took a piece of paper, and wrote the following words on it：“Give my dog half a pound of meat．”Then she gave the paper to her dog and said,“ 3 this to the butcher, and he's going to give you your lunch today．” 4 the piece of paper in its mouth, the dog ran to the butcher's shop．It gave the paper to the butcher．The butcher read it 5 , and recognized(辨认)that it was 6 Mrs Smith's handwriting．So he did 7 he was asked to．The dog was very happy, and ate the meat up at once．
At midday, the dog came to the shop again．It gave the butcher a piece of paper again．After reading it, he gave half a pound of meat 8 ．
The next day, the dog came again just at midday．And as usual, it brought a piece of paper in the mouth．This time, the butcher did not take a look at the paper, and gave the dog 9 meat, for he had regarded the dog as one of his customers．But, the dog came again at 4∶00 p. m．And the same thing happened once again．To the butcher's surprise, it came for the third time at 6∶00 p. m．The butcher felt puzzled．He said to himself,“this is a small dog．Why does Mrs Smith give it so much meat to eat today?”Looking 10 the piece of paper, he found that there were no words there．

My first football match was in P．E．class when I was 10 at Primary School．
Our P．E．teacher divided the class into two groups－boys and girls．You may think it's unfair(不公平)because 1 might lose the match．But we were still children．We didn't realize the 2 between boys and girls．
Girls always did 3 than boys in primary school．We girls thought winning the match 4 be very easy．
However, things didn't go as 5 expected．The boys were so 6 and strong．As soon as they got the football, they kicked it directly 7 the goal．In a short time, boys had three 8 while we were still at zero．
Their laughing made us very angry．How could we be 9 by them?We got together for a 10 and came up with an idea that we'd hold a re-match．
11 a boy got the football, three or four girls 12 to him．Two grasped(抓住)the boy's clothes and the others snatched(抢夺)the ball．When other girls got the football, they 13 gave it to me, because I ran the fastest．I would hold the ball and 14 running．But when a boy wanted to get the football, he became surprisingly strong．
One time when a boy 15 the ball, I bit(咬)him．The poor boy suddenly began to 16 , I didn't think I had done anything wrong．So I went on．17 I made a goal．
The whole match was like a 18 between boys and girls．I was made to say 19 to the boy I bit, but it didn't 20 ．We won, and they regarded me as the team's heroine(英雄)．
Is it funny?However, the pleasure that the football has given to me is far more than that．
When you’re a teenager, a huge problem might be that you just have to have a new CD, 1 your parents won't give you the money for it．I thought life was so
unfair when things like this happened-until September 11, 2001．
I was in P．E．when the planes hit the World Trade Center and the Pentagon．As soon as I got home and for weeks after, I saw the disaster shown on TV．Seeing the innocent people running for their 2 as the debris(瓦砾)started coming down the fire and smoke rose out of the buildings brought tears to my eyes．I couldn't help imagining what the people on the 3 and in the buildings were thinking and going through, not 4 what was going on．I admired the courage of the firefighters who rushed in and risked their own lives to 5 others．It tore my heart apart to watch the hopeless looks on the faces of so many people who didn't know if their loved ones were dead or alive while 6 in all the debris．
Then it 7 me： All my life I had thought mainly of myself．I had it easy in life and had been taking it all for granted．
A feeling of coldness ran down my back, and I cried just thinking of the possibility that it could have easily 8 to my family．My mom or dad could have been killed like that, and I would never, ever see them again．I began to evaluate what a real need in life was．
This disaster 9 me that awful things can happen to anyone at any time．Now when my mom or dad or sister go somewhere, even if it's just to the store, I try to remember to tell them that I love them because I know there is a 10 that I may never tell them that again．
Not getting a new CD is not going to make or 11 my life．I can live with those kinds of problems．But losing someone I love would 12 make my life miserable．

Well，that's about all the news I have for now．Mom and Dad （1O) their love．
