Almost everyone has his best friends in the lifetime as Maja does．The young woman entered the pool where an injured dolphin was swimming．Despite her fear, she felt strong wearing her new leg．
In her second grade, Maja 1 her cousin, Jasmina．After Jasmina's death, Maja swore she would honor the little girl by 2 with a dolphin, an animal that both girls 3 ．“Jasmina never got the chance to do it, ” says Maja, now 32, “so I 4 that someday I'd do it for her．”
In high school, Maja was 5 about sports．She even planned to become an athlete． 6 ,in 1993, during the civil war in her home country, a bomb 7 her left leg．
After two years’ 8 in the U．S．, Maja received her first artificial(人造的)leg．But 9 it didn't fit well, walking for Maja was painful． 10 ,she managed to graduate from a local high school．Then after receiving a 11 from Saint Francis University, she got a job at an insurance firm and 12 started her own company．
To relax, Maja 13 often watch the dolphins play at an aquarium(水族馆)near her home．A young dolphin, Winter, who had lost its tail, caught her 14 ．One day, Maja happened to see trainers 15 Winter with a high-tech tail．When they were done, Winter swam freely in the water．Maja was 16 ．She managed to find the inventors of Winter's tail．Within ten days, she had a new leg which freed her of the 17 that had troubled her for almost 16 years．
Now, Maja was ready to keep her 18 ．She went to the aquarium, lowered herself into the pool and held out a hand to Winter, who approached 19 ,then swam away．After a few minutes, the dollop's hint let Maja 20 its back．Finally, they began to swim around the pool together．
As my wife greeted me one evening, her voice came through the door,“Guess what?”
I always take a deep 1 on this very leading question．“What?”I asked．
“I just won a sales contest at work and the 2 is dinner for two at the new fancy restaurant down by the river-front!”
She was so 3 ．We knew the restaurant was extremely good．“See?I told you there would be a 4 for me to wear my new spring outfit,”she shyly reminded me．
“ 5 can play at that game,”I responded．“I will wear my gray suit, my Borsalino imported straw hat and a new silk tie．We will be well 6 ．”
It was early 7 and nearing dusk as the waiter took us to a table by a window, with a(n) 8 of the river．And the table was 9 set, with a smoke-gray tablecloth and bright colored napkins．
A delicious meal 10 in such an atmosphere should be remembered a long time．As it 11 , this will probably never be forgotten．
As the shadows lengthened, the 12 rocking by the riverbank, I murmured,“Why not take a walk?”
Hand in hand, we walked by the stores．People smiled and nodded．“I 13 realized there were so many 14 people as we have seen this evening, dear,”I observed．
“Probably your new straw hat or your 15 ,”she said．
After receiving many smiles, we 16 ourselves back at the restaurant, looking at ourselves in the 17 ．It was then that I saw the 18 for all the smiles．
Caught in the fly of my trousers and 19 down for all to see was a bright red 20 from the restaurant!
When I was a little girl, every Sunday my family of six would put on our best clothes and go to Sunday School and then church．The 1 in elementary school would all meet together to sing songs, and then later divide into 2 based on their ages．
One Easter Sunday, all the kids 3 with big eyes and big 4 about what the Easter Bunny(复活节小兔)had brought． 5 all of the kids shared their stories with 6 , one young boy , whom I shall call Bobby, sat 7 ．One of the teachers , noticing this, said to him, “And what did the Easter Bunny 8 you?”He replied, “My mom 9 the door by accident so the Easter Bunny couldn't get 10 because he hadn't got a key．”
This sounded like a 11 idea to all of us kids, so we kept on going with the stories．My mom knew the true story, 12 ．Bobby's mom was a single parent , and she suspected(怀疑)that they just couldn't 13 the Easter Bunny．
After Sunday School was over, everyone went off to 14 ．But my mom announced that we were going home 15 ．At home, she explained that to make Bobby feel 16 , we were going to pretend(假装)to be the Easter Bunny , make a basket of our candies for him and 17 it at church．We all donated(捐赠)some to the basket, and 18 back to church．There, mom hung the basket over the hanger(挂钩)and attached(附上)a(n) 19 ：
Dear Bobby,
I'm sorry I 20 your house last night．Happy Easter．
