I played a racquetball game against my cousin Ed last week. It was one of the most   1   and tiring games I've ever had. When Ed first phoned and   2   we play.

His big stomach has always ballooned out between his T-shirt and trousers. Although the family often   8   about that I'd refused to buy a   9   T-shirt or to lose weight. So when Ed  10   for our game not only with the bottom of his shirt gathered inside his trousers but also with a stomach you could hardly  11   , I was so surprised that I was   12   . My cousin must have made an effort to get himself into shape.   13   , at the point in our game when I'd have predicted (预计) the score to be about 9 to 1 in my favor, it was   14   7 to 9 and Ed was  15   . The sudden realization was painful. We   16   to play like two mad men. When the score was 16 up. I was having serious   17   about staying alive until 21 years old, let alone    18   that many points. When the game finally ended, both of us were lying flat on our backs, too tired to   19   .

  During the dust-blown thirties, everyone fell on hard times. The year 1 10, we drew names at our little school to see whom we'd 2 Christmas gifts with. I picked Helen's name. Helen was a new girl. Her family 3 in a house someone had deserted.

  Every day Helen wore the 4 brown dress to school, some of the neighbors whispered that Helen's daddy was 5 , and that he drank. Some didn't 6 want their kids to be friends with Helen.

  One day in December I said to Mom,“Wouldn't it be nice to get Helen a 7 for Christmas?”Mom agreed, 8 I could see from her expression that there was no extra money for material. She had bought the material for me and my sisters and our dresses were almost 9 “There must be a way,”I 10 . Mom hugged me.“I wish there was a way,”she said.

  The next morning Mom called me into the kitchen.“I have a(an) 11 ,”she said.“You and Helen are the same 12 . If you gave her your new red dress, I could fix you up the wool plaid(格子花呢)one that your cousin Esther sent.”I got a special feeling in my stomach. Give Helen my new dress? 13 I could respond, Mom said quickly,“I'll go ahead and fix the plaid dress and you can give her that, so she will have a 14 dress to wear for Christmas.”

  “Give the red dress to Helen,”I said.“I want her to have it.” “Are you 15 ?” “I am sure. Absolutely.”When Helen came into the room Mom handed her the new red dress. A look of 16 filled Helen's face. She hugged Mom. Helen took it and 17 it in front of her.“Thank you, thank you, thank--”she said to me.“I'm so 18 .”I was feeling happy, too. Helen moved away shortly after that and I never 19 her again. Me, the plaid dress became one of my 20 .

Five years ago. I went to Shao Xing to visit my cousin. My grandpa had been outside smoking when my aunt called him into the house. He left his  36 on the front porch(门廊) steps so he could continue smoking it   37 he returned.

My cousin was 38 to see what smoking was really like,so he picked up the cigarette,put it in his mouth and puffed(吹) in 39 . Next,he was  40 his head off. He looked like he was about to throw up,but he stretched his hand out toward me to  41 me the cigarette. “Come on. Try it.”he said.

I just grabbed the stupid thing out of his hand and smashed it with my  42 .Then,grandpa returned. “Where’d my cigarette go?” he asked. I just stood there,not wanting to admit what I had done or what my  43 had done before that. But I knew that this was the moment of truth. I took a deep breath and began to  44 .

I told my grandpa that I couldn’t 45 believe he would choose to smoke. I was sure he knew how bad it was,so why did he do it? He said he started smoking when he was just a teenager. Now he was so 46 that he couldn’t stop. It was just too hard to  47 .

Here was an old man,my own grandpa. ,admitting there was something that he couldn’t control that was probably 48 killing him. I stood there in disbelief. dumbfounded(目瞪口呆的). Then I remembered this ad I had seen on TV: There was this lady who was so addicted(有瘾的) to cigarettes that she’d gotten really sick. Doctors had to 49 a hole in her throat for her to 50 ,and she was still smoking through the hole! It was the most disgusting thing I’ve ever seen. Standing in front of my grandpa,I began to cry.  51 that happened to him?

Ever since that day, my grandpa has 52  on cigarettes. I know one thing: I want to live a long time. I don’t want to be  53 or out of control of my life the way  54 that lady was. I’ll never smoke. I’ll take  55 air.
