Michael is always in a good mood and always has something positive to say．When someone asked him how he was doing, he would 1 ,“If I were any better, I’d be twins!”He was a natural 2 ．
Several years later, I heard Michael 3 a serious accident, falling off 60 feet from a communication tower．
After 18 hours of surgery and weeks of 4 treatment, Michael was 5 from the hospital with rods(铁棍) 6 in his back．I saw Michael about six months after the accident．When I asked him how he was, he replied,“If I were any better, I’d be twins．Do you want to see my 7 ?”I 8 to see his wounds, but did ask him what had gone through his mind as the 9 took place．
“The first thing that 10 to me was the well being of my soon-to-born daughter,”Michael replied．“Then, lying on the ground, I remembered I had two choices：I could choose to live or to die．I chose to live．”
11 , Michael continued,“The nurses were great．They kept telling me I was going to be fine．But when they 12 me into the operation room, I saw the 13 on the faces of the doctors and nurses．I got really scared． 14 , I read“He’s dead”．I knew I needed to take action．There was a big burly nurse shouting questions at me．She asked me if I was allergic to 15 ．“Yes．”I said．The doctors and nurses 16 working as they waited for my reply．I took a deep breath and yelled,“Gravity．” 17 their laughter, I told them,“ I’m choosing to live．Operate on me 18 I am alive, not dead．”
Michael lived, 19 the skills of his doctors, but also his amazing attitude．I learned from him that every day we have a choice to live 20 ．Attitude is everything．
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．

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．
