题目内容

It began a year ago, around Christmas. Every time I drove down our street, I      an old man sitting in his front yard. He was usually smoking or drinking, and looking rather unhappy.
One day, while I was driving past him with my        , I decided to wave at him with a lot of excitement.      , when he noticed me waving at him, he looked a bit shocked. Then, I saw his hand go up and he waved back.
“       did you wave at him?” my daughter asked.
I told her it’s just an act of kindness that doesn’t        anything. It gives both him and me a feeling of joy. My daughter replied that she felt a bit uncomfortable to wave to a        , but next time she would try it as well.
We liked close to the old man,       we saw him rather often. Whenever we drove by, both of us would start waving at him and, pretty soon, the old man started         at everyone who passed by his house.
One time, my daughter’s friend came to visit and she told my daughter that she saw this strange old man near our home wave at her very        . She mentioned that she waved back, although she didn’t know        , and it felt really good.
As soon as my daughter heard this, she told her friend the        of how all the waving began. Her friend answered: “Tell your mom that’s really cool!”
Other friends gave similar        . This taught my daughter that an act of kindness can be natural and        , if you really want to do it. It showed us how giving happiness can do good to        the giver and the receiver.
Moved by the old man’s actions, we’re planning to give our waving neighbor a thank-you card to express our        for his exciting waves. We are really thankful for him sharing his simple joy with all who pass by his house.

It was Mother’s Day, but the young mother was a little unhappy, because she was 800 miles away from her parents. In the morning, she phoned her mother to wish her a happy Mother’s Day, and her mother told her about the beautiful lilacs（丁香）in the garden.

When they were passing a nursing home（养老院）, the young woman saw an old granny sitting in a chair. She had no children with her.

"Uncle Sam," is usually used to refer to the United States or the US government. It is the nickname of the country.It is hard to believe that this nickname became known quite by accident and there was a man  75   "Uncle Sam."However,not many people have ever heard of such a man.Not even most young Americans.
The man was called Uncle Sam Wilson.He was born in Arlington,Massachusetts, September 13, 1776. At the age of 14 Sam joined the American Revolutionary War(美国革命）, and   76    in the army under George Washington until the end of the war.He then moved to Troy, New York states, and began a meatpacking business. He earned a reputation（赢得了声誉）for being honest and hardworking. He was locally respected and admired, thus greeted as Uncle Sam.
One day in 1812,a group of visitors came to Sam's meatpacking plant(肉类加工厂）.Among them was Government official. He  77    the capitalized letters(大写字母） EAUS on the packages of meat and asked what they stood for. A worker man replied that EA stood for Elbert Anderson,the businessman for whom Sam was working.And he added   78  that US(actually it was the short form for United States) stood for Uncle Sam Wilson. Soon soldiers were saying all army supplies were from  "Uncle Sam".
In May 1813,this story appeared in a newspaper published in New York.Since Uncle Sam was an example of a hard-working man and a lover of America, the idea of"Uncle Sam" as the name of this kind of man became well-known rapidly.Uncle Sam was ready to help  79   and place the interest of the nation(国家利益）above all---this is in line with (与……符合）the American spirit. This makes the  American consider Uncle Sam   80  the symbol of the USA.In 1961 the US Congress made a decision that "Uncle Sam" is the America's national symbol.

“Yes,colder — and more expensive! A dining table will be $20 more expensive on November 30, won’t it, John？”
John looked hard at me for half a minute. Was there a little smile in his two blue eyes？I gave his bill back to him.

Tina was a seventeen-year-old girl who always wore a bright smile. She suffered from a disease and had to use a walker most of the time. Maybe it was because she looked     and people didn’t know how to come near toher. Tina usually broke the ice with people she met with a big “      ”

To my         , Tina was next. She used her walker to move to the front of the class.       she recited, she made a mistake. Before I could say a word, she        her walker and started doing push-ups. I wanted to say, “Tina, I was just        !”But she      , continued the poem and she finished the rest perfectly.
When she finished, a student asked, “Tina, why did you do that? It’s not an important assignment!”
“Because I want to be like you guys! To be        .” Tina said.
Silence fell on the whole room when another student cried out, “Tina, we’re not normal! We are teenagers!
We get in      all the time.”
“I know,” Tina said as a big      spread across her face. The rest of the students laughed, too.
