Last week I was invited to a doctor’s meeting at the Ruth Hospital for incurables. In one of the wards (病房) a patient, an old man, got up shakily from his bed and moved towards me. I could see that he hadn’t long to live, but he came up to me and placed his right foot close to mine on the floor.“ Frank!” I cried in astonishment. He couldn’t answer, as I knew, but all the time 1 his foot against mine.

One night a policeman came and told Mrs. West that her house had been 13 by a 500pounder. She lost nearly everything she owned.
14 that sort of thing happened; the rest of us helped the 15 ones. So before we 16 that morning, I stood 17 Frank and 18 my right foot against his. They were about the same 19 .

(A)
Everyone told me to make my travel preparations early, but I thought I had plenty of time. I had no idea how much there was to do and I waited too long before I began getting ready.
First, I had to apply for a passport (护照) and visa (签证) because I was going to 1 I had to get several inoculations (预防注射) at 2 office. Then I needed to drop by the bank and get some traveler's checks.(支票)
3 , there were many things 4 at home. I had the phone disconnected (断开) and the dog 5 the kennels (窝), but I almost forgot to have the milk and newspaper deliveries stopped. The postman had to remind me to leave my forwarding address at 6 office. I know it would have slipped my mind if he hadn't mentioned it.
The day I was supposed to leave. I realized I still hadn't received my passport and visa. I simply couldn't believe the time 7 to quickly. I was really afraid I would be left behind.
Fortunately, the mail was delivered early and my passport arrived. 8 I got to the airport, they were already calling my flight. I just barely had time to make it. As soon as I sat down 9 , I remembered that I hadn't taken my camera, but it was too late to worry about that. I would have to buy another one if I wanted to take pictures.
I did have a wonderful time during this trip, but the next time I plan to travel, I'm going to be sure to start preparing 10 to avoid all the last minute problems.

The biggest group is that of those who 14 rice. Most of them live in the Far East. These people number more than 1, 000 million—about one third of the world population.

The young speakers-all 13 their mid-teens are judged on their general ability, 14 on their originality and mastery of the subject.We have 15 some of the speeches and you will be able to listen to them in the Speak Out programs.
