There is one showing love.and there's another not responding in time.During lifetime, however, it turns out to be a regret and we always think of making it up when it's gone.
A father sat at his desk staring over his monthly bills 21 his young son rushed in and 22  ."Dad.because this is your birthday and you're 55 years old, I'm going to give you 55 23 .one for each year!" When the boy started 24  his agreement, the father exclaimed, "Oh.Andrew, don't do it now; I'm too 25  !" The youngster immediately 26  silent as tears welled up in his big blue eyes.27  the father said, "You can finish later."
The boy said nothing but quietly 28  ,disappointment written 29  his face.That evening the father said, "Come and finish the 30  kisses now.Andrew!" But the boy didn't respond.
Unfortunately, a few days later after this incident, the boy had an   31  and was drowned.His 32  father wrote."If only I 33  tell him how much I regret my thoughtless 34 ,and could be assured that he knows how much my heart is 35  ."
Love is a two-way street.Any loving act must be warmly accepted 36  it will be taken as rejection and can 37  a scar.If we are too busy to give and 38  love, we are too busy! Nothing is more important than 39  with love to the cry for love from those who are near and precious to us, because there may be no 40  at all as in the case of the little boy.

Night after night, my mother came to my bed, even long after my childhood years. She would   21 down and push my long hair out of the way, and then kiss my forehead. I don’t remember when it first started  22 me-her hands pushing my hair that way, for they felt work-worn and rough  23 my young skin. Finally , one night, I shouted out at her, “Don’t do that any more-your hands are too rough!” she made no  24 and left quietly. But never again did my mother do it with that familiar expression of her  25 .
With the passing years, my   26 returned to that night time after time. By then I   27 my mother’s hands and her goodnight kiss. Sometimes the incident seemed very  28 , sometimes far away, but always it was  29 in the back of my mind.
The years have passed, and I’m not a little girl any more. Mom is in her seventies, and those hands I once  30 to be so rough are still doing things for me and my family.
Now, Mom no longer has Dad and lives  31 . One night on Thanksgiving Eve, I found myself  32 to her house to spend the night with her. As I slept in the bedroom of my youth, a familiar hand hesitantly ran across my face to  33 the hair from my forehead. Then a   34 , ever so gently , touched my forehead. I burst into tears.
In my memory, thousands of times, I   35 the night my young voice complained. Catching Mom’s hand in hand, I told her how  36 I was for that night. I thought she’d remember  37 I did. But Mom didn’t know what I was talking about. She had already forgotten and   38 long ago.
That night, I fell asleep with a new  39 for my gentle mother and her caring hands. And the guilt that I had carried around for so long was   40 to be found.

Recently, I experienced a wonderful lesson that little things still mean a lot. I live on the Big Island of Hawaii. About a month ago, when I started my car and I  1 down at the roadside, a piece of paper caught my eye. I picked it up and  2 it carefully.
The form turned out to be a  3 from the State Motor Vehicle Division, documenting the owners’  4 of their vehicle’s registration fees. Quickly, I put myself in their  5 and figured:no one would throw this out,  6 if it was current.
Although the form had been blown here,  where in the busy,parking lot would I find the owner? So I checked the date and noted the name of the  8 , who must be in our town. I thought that the best and easiest step to  9 was to put the form in an envelope addressed to the couple and  10 it by post. So I did it.
On the weekend, a  11 couple called at my house and brought me a big  12 . They said they had panicked and searched for the receipt(收据)   13 everywhere before giving up. Without it they would 14 $8, 000. It felt great to know I’d helped someone  15 a major trouble by doing something which at first glance seemed minor.

John Steinbeck once said, “All Americans believe they are born fishermen. For a man to admit to a distaste in fishing would be like denouncing (公开指责) mother – love or hating moonlight.”
I can’t say that I’m the biggest John Steinbeck fan. Actually, the only thing I can ever remember reading by him was “The pearl” when I was in middle school, but I couldn’t agree more with the man when it comes to fishing. Whether I am on a boat in the middle of the Lay Lake, fishing off the shores of the Florida Keys for tarpon or catching rainbow trout in the Shoshone River of Wyoming, fishing is my life.
According to the American Sports Fishing Association, the fishing industry brings in more than $ 116 billion per year from fishermen across the country.
Though a beautiful picture to imagine, fishing is much more than that. Fishing is a way of life for many people and a way to escape everyday stress. Being a fisherman makes me a member of a wonderful group of people extending to all walks of life. Even President Obama can be found fishing on his farm in Texas with his good friend Roland Martin when the job gets too stressful.
I can remember fishing with my grandfather when I was 5 years old on his boat at Lake Mitchell. Although I didn’t understand what I was doing, I did know that my grandfather was happy and that made me happy. Since then I’ve spent the past 16 years on the rivers and lakes of Alabama.
After days of practice, before and after work, I slowly developed an understanding of fishing. My boss, Ric Horst, took me back to the Shoshone, and I managed to bring in a 19–inch cutthroat trout. Fishing with Ric was a life–changing experience for me. He not only showed me how to fish correctly, but also told me how fishing could be a way to escape your problems.
Since then, prime–time season seems to take forever to arrive.
Now, with the ending of February and beginning of March in sight, the excitement of heading out Lake Tuscaloosa or Lake Lurleen before classes and catching something has finally returned.

C.The author agreed with John Steinbeck the most when he was in middle school.
D.President Obama often goes fishing in public in order to collect idea for his job.

Grace Kane hangs onto an Olympic dream of clinging to a granite (花岗岩) wall by her fingertips 70 feet from the ground. The fearless girl is only 10, but already has scaled great heights in the sport of rock climbing.
Last week, Kane won a bronze in the 11­and­younger sport class at the USA Climbing Youth National Championships in Atlanta. She was the only competitor of the 31 there with no climbing coach or top­flight facilities in which to train. Climbing will become an exhibition at the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics in Brazil. The hope of enthusiasts is that the sport will gain full status in 2020.“I’m already training for that,” said Kane. “Climbing is my passion, my love, and I want to make something of it.”
Her dad took her to climb rocks on her fourth birthday for the first time and today he can’t keep up with her, “It’s the freedom to let loose,” she said. “When I’m up there, I’m so focused and don’t hear anything. I always feel comforted knowing people are supporting me.”
The bronze in Atlanta qualified Kane for the USA team and November’s International Championships in Ecuador. That’s a trip she might have to miss because it’s too expensive.
Kane held a backyard music concert---she played the guitar and the piano and wrote inspirational songs---and raised $600 for her $1,500 trip to Atlanta. She’s also been sponsored by a shoe company, but must rely heavily on donations from family and friends for travel expenses.
Her mom Heather Kane said the family has chosen “to do whatever we need to help her achieve her goals”. One of Grace’s biggest challenges is finding balance in her life. There’s school, her music and church to fit around climbing.
“Climbing is going to mean sacrificing things other kids might pursue,” Grace said. “But it doesn’t bother me. It’s like playing the piano; you can’t take a break or you’ll lose your touch.”
小题1:What would be the best title of the passage?
A.Rock climbing gains popularity
B.Grace Kane likes challenges
C.A young climber follows her dream
D.An amazing victory for a young rock climber
小题2:We can learn from the second paragraph that rock climbing ________.
A.is not an exhibition at the Olympics now
B.is an official event at the Olympics now
C.is not open to children
D.will gain full status in 2020
小题3:Which of the following is TRUE about Grace Kane?
A.She is only interested in rock climbing.
B.She is a girl with many talents.
C.Rock climbing has affected her study.
D.She has won gold medals in several matches.
小题4:One of Grace’s biggest challenges is to ________.
A.find a capable coach for her
B.get qualified for the USA team
C.raise enough money for International competitions
D.keep balance between rock climbing and other activities
There was a time in my life when beauty meant something special to me. I guess that would have been when I was about six or seven years old, just several weeks or maybe a month before the orphanage(孤儿院)turned me into an old man.
I would get up every morning at the orphanage, make my bed just like the little soldier that I had become and then I would get into one of the two straight lines and march to breakfast with the other twenty or thirty boys who also lived in my dormitory.
After breakfast one Saturday morning I returned to the dormitory and saw the house parent chasing the beautiful monarch butterflies who lived by the hundreds in the bushes scattered around the orphanage.
I carefully watched as he caught these beautiful creatures, one after another, and then took them from the net and then stuck straight pins through their head and wings,pinning them onto a heavy cardboard sheet.
How cruel it was to kill something of such beauty. I had walked many times out into the bushes,all by myself, just so the butterflies could land on my head,face and hands so I could look at them up close.
When the telephone rang the house parent laid the large cardboard paper down on the back cement(水泥)step and went inside to answer the phone. I walked up to the cardboard and looked at the one butterfly who he had just pinned to the large paper. It was still moving about so I reached down and touched it on the wing causing one of the pins to fall out.It started flying around and around trying to get away but it was still pinned by the one wing with the other straight pin.Finally its wing broke off and the butterfly fell to the ground and just trembled.
I picked up the torn wing and the butterfly and I spat on its wing and tried to get it to stick back on so it could fly away and be free before the house parent came back.But it would not stay on him.

DIY sailor Owen Warboys has finally launched his homemade boat — after spending nearly 30 years building it in his mum’s garden.
Owen, 66, a retired engineer from Hordle, New Milton, Hants, first started work on the 40ft—long boat in 1982 because he could not afford to buy his own. He told mum Edith that it would only take five years but after suffering “a few problems” it lasted nearly three decades.
When he finally finished, he was left with the head-scratching task of getting the 18-tonne boat out of the back garden. After some time he found a way. A huge crane (起重机) was brought in to carefully raise it 40ft in the air over his mother’s house and onto a lorry. It was then driven to the seaside and, to Owen’s delight, it floated and showed no signs of leaking when lowered into the water.
Now, 28 years after he first started, Owen is at last preparing to set sail in his beloved boat, Wight Dolphin, with his long-suffering wife Anne. Owen said, “I am so relieved that it’s finished. There were times when I thought it would never end but I’m the sort of person who likes to finish something once I’ve started.”
At first he persuaded his mum to let him do it in her garden and started taking in sheets of steel and pieces of wood. “My mother was happy for me to build it at her house but only bacause I told her it would only take five years.”
小题1:Why did Owen decide to make his own boat by himself?
A.He wanted to kill time after his retirement
B.He wished to set a new world record
C.He didn’t have enough money to buy a boat
D.He had a hobby of making things by hand
小题2:What problem did Owen face when he finished his boat?
A.It leaked when lowered into the water
B.It couldn’t be sent onto a truck
C.He couldn’t afford to hire a crane.
D.He didn’t know how to move it out.
小题3:Which of the following is TRUE about the boat ?
A.It was built by Owen and his supportive wife
B.It was in good condition after being put in the sea
C.Owen’s mother was relieved to see it was finished
D.Owen and his wife will sail around the world in it
小题4:We can infer from the passage that _____.
A.the boat will enter a race competition
B.Owen retired early in order to make his boat
C.Owen’s wife gave the boat the name of Wight Dolphin
D.It took 23 more years to finish the boat than expected
When I was a little girl, my father loved to play the game of “catch the ball” with me. I wasn’t good at it 21  he didn’t mind at all. He was always telling me to 22  my eyes on the ball; otherwise I would not be able to 23  it when he threw it to me.
As I got older, we didn’t play the game as 24  as before. If I had a   25  , I would go to my father and   26   his advice. He would try to make a joke and say, “Keep your eyes on the ball.” We would both laugh   27   that advice was not usually able to   28   the problem, but he would just try to make me   29  .
My father became   30   in 1995 when I was 23. There were not any more conversations, as he was   31   from a terrible disease. He couldn’t   32  ; he could only move his   33   without making a sound, which was sometimes   34   to understand. I seemed to be   35   good at reading his lips after a while, even better than the nurses that were   36   him.
During one of our last   37   I was telling him about a difficulty I was   38  . Once again, I could read his lips. “Keep your eyes on the ball,” he said. We both smiled. That was the last time I saw my father   39   he passed away.
Sometimes now, all those years later when I get into a   40   situation, I just tell myself, “Keep your eyes on the ball.”

My husband Ollie had retired from teaching and we were making plans to travel together to Florida. Then he was terribly ill and became very weak, hardly able to speak. Weeks passed and it became clear that Ollie was near death, but I prayed day and night that he could get better.
One of us was always in Ollie’s hospital room—either me, or our grown children, Bruce and Karen. One day, in his broken and weak speech, Ollie told Bruce, “Go home. You should be with Gwen.” Gwen was Bruce’s wife. They had been married for six years and lived hundreds of miles away. Gwen was about to have a baby. We felt an extra sadness, knowing Ollie would never see his first grandchild.
“I don’t want to leave you, Dad,” Bruce said. Ollie repeated, “You should be with Gwen.” Reluctantly, Bruce left. “When the baby comes,” he promised Ollie, “you will be the first to know.” A few days later, around 2 p.m., Ollie awoke from a sleep. He turned and looked at me. I sat close to hear his weak words. “The baby is coming now. It’s a boy,” he said. For a moment his eyes were filled with tears. Then he went back to sleep again. Not long after that, Karen ran into the room. “Bruce called,” she said, a smile lighting her face. “Gwen gave birth to a healthy baby boy around two o’ clock.”
Ollie smiled; he had been the first to know. That night, Ollie died in his sleep.
