Agatha Christic would never forget the night when she met a robber(抢劫者)many years ago．
That evening, she went to a birthday party which 1 until two o'clock in the morning．Agatha walked in the 2 street alone．Suddenly from the back of a dark building a tall man with a sharp knife in his right hand ran out at her．“Good 3 , lady,”the man said in a low voice,“I don't think you wish to 4 here!”“What do you want?”“Your earrings．Take them off!”
Agatha suddenly had a bright idea．She tried to cover her necklace with the collar(衣领)of her overcoat while she used 5 hand to take off both of her earrings and then quickly 6 them on the ground．
“Take them and let me go,”she said．The robber thought that the girl didn't like the earrings at all, only trying to keep the necklace．It would cost 7 , so he said,“Give me your necklace．”
“Oh, sir．It doesn't 8 much．Please let me wear it．”
“I'm not that silly．Quick!”
With shaking hands Agatha took off her necklace．As soon as the robber left, she picked up her earrings and ran as 9 as she could to one of her friends．
The earrings cost 480 pounds and the necklace the robber had taken away cost 10 six pounds．

My dad was a fisherman．He worked hard and stayed out until he caught enough 1 to feed the family nearly every day．When the weather was bad he would 2 me to school．An old truck was used in his fishing business．When we got to the school, he would give me a big 3 on the face and tell me to be a good 4 ．It was so embarrassing for me．I was 12 years old, and my dad would still kiss me goodbye!
I remember the day when I decided I was too 5 for a goodbye kiss．When we got to the school and came to a stop, he had his usual big smile．He started to lean(倾斜)toward me, but I put my hand up and 6 , “No, Dad．” It was the first time I had ever talked to him that way．He had a surprised look on his face for a long time, and his 7 started to be wet．He turned and looked out of the windshield(挡风玻璃)．“You’re 8 ,” he said．“You are a big boy－a man．I won’t kiss you any more．”
It wasn’t long after that when my dad went out to 9 and never came back．It was a day when most of the fishermen stayed at home except Dad．He had a big family to feed How I wish I had been a man then．If I had been a man, I would 10 have told my dad I was too old for a goodbye kiss．
