10.Outside her shabby cottage,old Mrs.Tailor was hanging out laundry on a wire line,unaware that some children lay hidden in the leaves of a nearby tree watching her every move.They were determined to find out if she really was a witch.They watched as she took a broomstick to clean the dirt from her stone steps.But,much to their disappointment,she did not mount the broomstick and take flight.Suddenly,the old lady's work was interrupted by the cackling of her hen-a signal that an egg had been laid in the warm nest on top of the haystack.
The old broomstick was put aside as she hobbled off towards the haystack followed by Sooty,a black cat she had rescued from a fox trap some time back.With only three legs,it was hard for Sooty to keep up with the old lady.The cat provided proof-the children were sure that only a witch could own a black cat with three legs.
There,standing on a wooden box,was Mrs.Tailor,stretching out to gather her precious egg.Taking the egg in one of her hands,she began to climb down when,without warning,the box broke and the old lady fell.
"We have to got and help her,"whispered Amy.
"What if it is a trick?"replied Ben.
"Don't be silly,Ben.If she were a witch,she would have turned us into frogs already,"reasoned Meg."Come on Amy,let's go."The girls climbed down the tree and ran all the way to the haystack.
Approaching carefully,they could see a wound on the old lady's face.She had knocked her head on a stone and her ankle was definitely broken."Go and get Dad,"Amy yelled to her brother."Tell him about the accident."
The boys did not need another excuse to leave.They ran as fast as thy could for help,hoping that Mrs.Tailor would not wake and turn the girls into frogs.

Justin Gignac,26,has sold almost 900 (41)Cpresented plastic boxes of rubbish from the street of Big Apple at between$50and$100each.Buyers from 19countries have paid for the souvenirs(纪念品).The idea has been so successful that he is thinking of promoting it around the world.
It all began when Mr Gignac was at a summer workshop,"We had a discussion about the importance o(42)E,"he recalls."Someone said packaging was unimportant.I disagreed.The only way to prove it was by selling something nobody would ever want."
He searches the streets of Manhattan and typical(43)Ainclude broken glass,subway tickets,Starbucks cups and used(44)Dforks."Special editions"are offered at a high price.He charged$100for rubbish from the opening day of the New York Yankees'stadium.
Mr Gignac denies(45)Bhis customers for fools:"They know what they're getting.They appreciate the fact that they're taking something nobody would want and finding beauty in it."
Some(46)Hcustomers include people who used to live in the city and want a down-to-earth souvenir.He claims he has even sold to art collectors.
Realizing that the concept appears to be a real money-maker,Mr Gignac has(47)Ja company and is employing his girlfriend as vice president.He(48)Fto discuss his profit margins:"It's actually quite a lot of effort putting them together-but yes,garbage is free."
Mr Gignac is considering more varieties of souvenirs.He maintains that he has signed(49)Iwith people interested in similar projects from as far as Berlin and London.

The first time I saw Suzy Khan,I knew I had to help her.She was really small for her age of 12.The boys in my class often (41)C at her and laughed their heads off.She would open a book,pretending to read,with tears dropping on the open page.

On the day of the talent show,Suzy's (52)D were everywhere----all over the hall and all over the school,each one different."And finally,"said Mr.Brown,the schoolmaster,at the end of the show,"we have a (n)(53)A award.I'm sure you've all noticed the wonderful posters."Everyone nodded."One of our own students (54)A them."
I could hear everyone whispering."Who in our school could draw (55)B well?"Mr.Brown waited a while before saying,"(56)D this student worked so hard on the posters,she deserves a (57)A,too.Our mystery(神秘) artist is our new student----Suzy Khan!"Mr.Brown thanked her for all the wonderful posters and gave her a professional artist's set."Thank you,"she cried.I (58)B,at that time when I was looking at her excited face,she'd probably never (59)C anything in her whole life.Everyone started to (60)A their hands.Suzy Khan gave them a shy smile and the applause was deafening.I knew then Suzy was going to be all right.
