Dan and his eleven-year-old son, Aaron, love basketball．For Aaron’s birthday last October, Don decided to drive him to Cincinnati, more than two hours’ 1 , for the first game of the World Series．They had no tickets but hoped to buy a 2 from scalpers(票贩子)．
After arriving, they walked in the streets for two hours, carrying a sign 3 said,“We need two tickets．”There were a lot of scalpers, but the 4 ticket was ＄175．They were 5 to leave when a man stopped them．He gave up two tickets and handed them to the father．“How much do you want?”“No charge,”said the man,“ 6 the game．”
When asked later, the man explained,“I was working for Joe, who hadn’t 7 a World Series in 16 years．But he was ill and couldn’t make it this time．So he told me to give the two tickets away．The only 8 he set was to give the tickets to people I thought would be 9 ．A lot of people looked as if they might just take the tickets and sell them．Then I saw you．You seemed very 10 and you made me think of my dad and me when I was a child．I would 11 to go to a World Series game with my father．But I 12 did．”
How important was 13 to Dan and his son?Here is what Don said,“It’s the most 14 thing that ever happened to us．My boy and I must have 15 each other 30 times during the game and said, ‘I can’t believe this．’ We’ll never forget that day．”
What separates me from everyone else? The difference is not what clothes I wear or the music I listen to, but what I feel 1 ．
Ever since I was young, I have loved professional wrestling．As I grew older, my friends 2 me for following what was called a “man’ s soap opera．” 3 , I put my love for wrestling on the shelf．It was not until freshman year that I 4 I wasn’t being myself．
That year, I tried many new things and activities．In my town, football was the sport, so I decided to play football, 5 it might give me a head 6 in popularity．The team started with forty－eight athletes． 7 , there were fourteen of us left．I stuck it out not because I liked it, but because I am not a quitter．That long season taught me a(n) 8 ：I wasn’t a football player．More importantly, it taught me to be 9 ．
After that season, I 10 back to being a wrestling fan．I came across a well－known saying：“Don’t Dream It．Be It．” When I read this, my friend Dan and I had the 11 idea．
“What if we build a wrestling ring?” we asked．The following weekend, we met at his house．We saw our 12 in a pile in his backyard．We worked from dawn to dusk to build our great project．Our hard work paid 13 ．We had a real ring．We decided to hold an “event．” We practiced for hours, trying to 14 every aspect(方面)of our wrestling ability．The date was May 24th．To our surprise, about one hundred friends and fans showed up to 15 us．It was the most important night of my life and a 16 success．Since that time, we have held five shows with as many as two hundred and fifty people training out．We 17 to live this dream．We accomplished what we set out to do．
As my senior year winds down, I’ll remember all of my high school memories．But 18 will stick out most is the memory that I did something I 19 , despite what everyone said or thought．I achieved the 20 I lived my dream．

Just home from work, Daddy stepped in the kitchen where Mother and I were preparing supper．From the look on his face, we knew something was 1 him．
“Mr．Roth is worse, ” he said．“The doctor says it's only a 2 of time now．The old man call 3 his pain, but not the long hours he has to spend alone．His eyes are 4 bad that he can't read, and he doesn't get much 5 ．He keeps begging for a big dog to be his companion, 6 he can reach out and touch as he sits in his wheelchair in the sun．”
“Why don't they 7 him a dog?” I asked．

“They could go to the animal shelter and get one．”I 9 ．

After supper, I went 11 my big German shepherd(牧羊犬), Dan, was usually dozing．He jumped up and ran to meet me 12 he always did when I came into sight．There were no other 12－year－old girls in our neighborhood, so I 13 Dan for companionship．When I rode my bicycle, he ran behind me；when I roller－skated on the sidewalk, he followed behind．It had been that way since Daddy 14 him home four years before．
Now, I couldn't 15 Daddy's words in the kitchen．I threw my arms 16 Dan's neck and buried my face in his stiff hair．
“I love you,” I whispered to him．“I'd be 17 without you, but…oh, Dan, I know what I should do, 18 I don't want to do it．”
I thought about Mr．Roth．He was old, sick and almost 19 ．It seemed to me that he was just about out of blessings．I 20 quickly．I knew what I had to do．
I went to my father and said, “Mr．Roth can borrow Dan．”Tears started down my face．

Reading letters is the happiest moment for singer Cong Fei, who now has to stay in bed．These letters, in which they call him “Dad”, are from the children he has 1 ．
The 36-year-old singer has spent nearly all his 2 in paying the tuition fees of 178 children 3 the past 11 years．
He was diagnosed(诊断)with cancer in May, 2006．One of the 4 things he requested after being diagnosed was that friends and family 5 to fund the 100 students he has started to put through 6 ．
“ 7 they can't keep on studying, what they can expect is a(n) 8 future．You must find 9 to let them continue their education,” Cong said．
Cong's first 10 began at a charity(慈善)performance for children in Southwest China's Chongqing in 1994．When donating all 2,400 yuan he had on him, Cong was 11 to learn that the money could help 20 children complete two years'education and realized how 12 the donation was to the children．
From then on, he 13 took part in more than 20 charity performances in poverty-stricken(非常贫穷的)areas in Guizhou, Hunan and Sichuan provinces．
“When the children saw Cong Fei, they were so 14 that they hugged him, calling him 15 ．At that 16 , I could fully understand the 17 of my husband's devotion,” said his wife Xing Dan．
Extensive media reports on Cong's story have placed him 18 in the focus in the past two months．Li Hongzhong, Party secretary of Shenzhen, visited him in June and 19 him to fight the disease so that he could, as his name suggests, “ 20 again．”
