I've always loved pigeons(鸽子). Some years ago I managed to persuade my wife to let me buy a few and start 16 them myself. They cost a lot of money and so it spoilt(破坏) our 17 a bit, but my wife never actually stopped me so I 18 carried on. I learnt so much about them that I could 19 a good racer anywhere and I bought some beauties. My pigeons won some top races, and I even began to make a bit of 20 .
You see, people are prepared to pay big prices if they get to know that your pigeons are 21 big prizes.
My wife had been changing her 22 to the pigeons over the last year or two anyway. She was quite 23 of all the prizes we’d won. Then there was the travelling, which she liked. You see some one has to take the pigeons a 24 way off and set them free. Some of the 25 were really nice. I never travelled. I used to like to wait at home and see them come in. They’ve got this wonderful sense of 26 , which can bring them back home so quickly. They’d flown hundreds of miles sometimes 27 storms or against strong winds. And there they’d come, tiny white birds against the great 28 . Then I'd watch them 29 round and come down onto the landing shelf. I'd look at my watch and think, “My goodness, that’s a good 30 . ”And I'd take off the little leg ring and push it through the machine to 31 what time he’d arrived. Then my wife would 32 up and say, “Has he arrived yet?” Then we would work out if we’d won 33 .
Then last year we had a 34 ! All of them got some sort of flu and 35 . It was terrible. I had to burn them all. We lost a fortune, of course.

Mother always said I was born to swim. I was 41 at the amazing fact. If this was true, then why was I afraid of water? I went to swim every summer, but I made 42 progress. I was worried and blamed myself several times. When I watched people swimming 43 , how I wished I had learnt to swim!
The story of how I learnt to swim is dramatic. One summer afternoon, my 44 and I went to the swimming pool to swim. While he was 45 his clothes, I was wandering along the bank of the pool. Suddenly I heard a voice, “ 46 !” and then came a big noise and 47 splashes(溅水). Just when I was 48 the swimmer’s skills, I slipped into the pool! I was so afraid that I 49 at once! But the water kept coming towards me and I 50 lots of it. I was moving upside down and trying to reach the 51 . I was struggling very hard to keep my head 52 the water. A(n) 53 was like a hundred years to me. To my surprise, I was able to keep the style! Just then, my father saw me and he seemed to be 54 . He then said, “Calm down, just 55 your arms and legs like this. Right!” And I 56 it! I finally learnt to swim! You can’t imagine how happy I was and I wanted to 57 for joy!
From this experience I learnt that one’s power is 58 . Sometimes you could show that power in an emergency. If you believe that, you will discover the power 59 within yourself and achieve your goals. And one has to stay calm when it’s 60 . To calm down helps you to think clearly and make the best decision.

The first thing I do when I
want to find out where someone is staying is to go to the neighborhood where he
used to live。It’s human nature to tell stories which is why
neighbors will tell me all they know when I ring at their houses．Sometimes，someone
even talks about his friend’s dishonesty．Then I produce a
pattern of my subject’s life：if he likes to have a holiday in Spain or
in Italy, if he prefers two-or-three-star hotels and where he might hide his
assets．When I’ve got this life pattern，I
start my research．
