There was a boy who was sent by his parents to a boarding school(寄宿学校). Before he was sent away, the boy was the     41     student in his class. He was at the top in every exam.
But the boy changed after     42    home and studying in the boarding school. His grades started to     43   . He hated being in a group. He was lonely all the time. And there were especially dark times when he felt like committing suicide(自杀). All of this was because he felt no one loved him.
His parents started to     44     the boy. But they even did not know what was wrong with him. So his father decided to go to the school and talk with him.
They sat by the lake near the school. The father started asking him some casual questions about his lessons, teachers and     45   . After some time his father said, "Do you know, son, why I'm here today?"
"To     46    my grades," the boy replied back.
"No, no," his father said. "I'm here to tell you that you're the most     47    person for me. I want to see you      48  . I don't care about grades. I care about you. I care about your happiness. You're my life."
These words caused the boy's eyes to be filled with tears. He hugged(拥抱) his father. They didn't say     49    to each other for a long time.
Now the boy had everything he wanted. He knew there was someone on the earth who cared for him deeply. And today this young man is in university at the top of his class and no one has ever seen him     50   .

"Can I see my baby?" asked the happy new mother. When the baby was in her arms, she couldn't believe her eyes. The baby was born without ears.
Time proved(证明) that the baby's hearing was very good though he had no ears. He got on well with his classmates. But one day, he said to his mother, tears in his eyes, "A big boy called me a freak (畸形的)."
  The boy's father asked the family doctor. "Could nothing be done?"
  "I believe I could graft (植入) on a pair of outer ears if they could be got," the doctor said. They tried to find a person who was helpful for the young man.
  One day, his father said to the son, "You're going to the hospital, son. Mother and I have someone who will donate the ears you need. But we must keep it a secret who the person is."
  The operation(手术) was a great success, and a new person appeared. His cleverness and hard work made him a very successful person. He married and lived a happy life.
  He once asked his father, "Who gave me the ears? I could do enough for him or her."
  "I do not believe you could, "said the father." The agreement was that you are not to know...not yet."
  For years they kept it a secret, but the day did come. He stood with his father over his mother's body. Slowly, the father raised the thick, brown hair. To his surprise, the son found his mother had no outer ears.

We were standing at the top of a church not far from my home. I didn’t know why.

“Look down,” Father said. I tried and saw the square in the center of the village. And I saw the streets to the square. “See, Elsa,” Father said. “There is more than one way to the square. If you can’t get where you want to go by one road, try another.”

Earlier that day, I asked Mother to do something about what we had for lunch at school. But she didn’t think the food was as bad as I said. When I turned to Father for help, he brought me to the church.

At school the next day, I filled a bottle with the soup for our lunch and took it home. I told the cook to pour the soup in a plate and bring it to Mother. She drank it and cried out, “What’s the matter with the soup today?” I at once told her what I had done , and Mother said that she would take up the matter of lunches at school the next day .
