题目内容
1.It was Mother's Day morning last year and I was doing my shopping at our local supermarket with my five-year-old son,Tenyson.As we were leaving,we found that only minutes earlier an elderly woman had fallen over at the entrance and had hit her head on the concrete.Her husband was with her,but there was blood everywhere and the woman was embarrassed and clearly in shock.Walking towards the scene,Tenyson became very upset about what had happened to the couple.He said to me,"Mum,it's not much fun falling over in front of everyone."
At the front of the supermarket a charity(慈善) group had set up a stand selling cooked sausages and flowers to raise funds.Tenyson suggested that we should buy the lady a flower."It will make her feel better,"he said.I was amazed that he'd come up with such a sweet idea.So we went over to the flower seller and asked her if we could buy a flower for the lady to cheer her up."Just take it,"she replied."I can't take your money for such a wonderful gesture."
By now paramedics(救援人员)had arrived,and were attending the injured woman.As we walked up to her,my son became intimidated by all the blood and medical equipment.He said he was just too scared to go up to her.
Instead I gave the flower to the woman's husband and told him,"My son was very upset for your wife and wanted to give her this flower to make her feel better."
At that,the old man started crying and said,"Thank you so much,you have a wonderful son.Happy Mother's Day to you."
The man then bent down and gave his wife the flower,telling her who it was from.Though badly hurt and shaken,the old lady looked up at Tenyson with love in her eyes and gave him a little smile.

"Learn to iron a shirt,"com Mom said,"and you can iron anything."
But ironing shirts was not(39)easywork.It didn't make use of long muscles we used to throw a baseball,and it wasn't a(40)smoothoperation like ice-skating.Ironing was like driving a car on a street that has a stop sign every 10feet,Moreover,an iron produced steam and it carried an element of(41)danger.If you touched the wrong part of it,you'd get burnt.If you forgot to turn it off when you (42)wentaway,you might bum down the house.
As for technique,Mom(43)taughtme to begin with the flat spaces outward,always pushing the iron forward into wrinkled (有褶皱的)parts.Collars had to be done right.Mom said they were close to your face,where everyone would(44)seethem.
Over the years,I've learned to iron shirts skillfully,which gives me a sense of(45)prideWhatever failures I suffer in my life,an ironed shirt tells me I am good at something.(46)Besides,through ironing I've learned the method for solving even the most troublesome problems."(47)Dealwithwrinkles one at a time,"as Mom might have said,"and before long everything will get ironed out."

"Mama,when I grow up,I'm going to be one of those!"I said this after seeing the Capital Dancing Company perform when I was three.It was the first time that my(36)dream took on a vivid form and acted as something important to start my training.As I grew older and was(37)exposed to more,my interests in the world of dance(38)certainly varied but that little girl's dream of someday becoming a (39)dancer in the company never left me.In the summer of 2005when I was 18,I received the phone call which made that dream a(40)reality; I became a member of the company(41)dating back to 1925.
As I look back on that day now,it surely (42)lacks any sense of reality.I believe I stayed in a state of pleasant disbelief(43)until I was halfway through rehearsals (排练) on my first day.I never actually (44)expected to get the job.After being offered the position,I was completely (45)astonished.I remember shaking with excitement.
Though I was absolutely thrilled with the change,it did not come without its fair share of (46)challenges.Through the strict rehearsal period of dancing six days a week,I found it vital to (47)pick up the material fast with every last bit of concentration.It is that extreme (48)attention to detail (细节) and stress on practice that set us(49)apart.To then follow those high-energy rehearsals(50)with a busy show schedule of up to five performances a day,I discovered a new (51)meaning of the words"hard work."What I thought were my physical(52)boundaries were pushed much further than I thought(53)possible.I learned to make each performance better than the last.
Today,when I look at the unbelievable company that I have the great(54)honor of being a part of,not only as a member,but as a dance captain,I see a(55)tradition that has inspired not only generations of little girls but a splendid company that continues to develop and grow-and inspires people every day to follow their dreams.
