A report was shown in the yesterday’s newspaper, which made all the families moved deeply. This report was about a seven-year-old boy, named BoWen, suffered from blood cancer and the doctor said he would die soon. But he said he didn’t want to die before his dream came true.
Bo Wen has stayed with his father all the time since his mother divorced with his father five years ago. But as soon as his mother heard that Bo Wen was seriously sick, she came to Bo Wen in a flash and was willing to donate her blood to Bo Wen.
Seeing mother again, BoWen was very happy and excited. Gradually, he still found mother and father didn’t get on well with each other. How he hoped they would get together again! So he thought of a good idea. Every time when parents were not beside, he sent messages to mother with father’s mobile phone and to Father with mother’s in the same way which read: “I love you, I miss you, I am waiting for you to have dinner at home, I am mistaken, please forgive me and so on”. At the beginning, his parents misunderstood each other. However, realizing that all the messages were sent by Bo Wen, they felt very shocked and puzzled. They went to Bo Wen. To their surprise, Bo Wen said very difficultly “Sorry but I heartedly hope you will remarry and won’t let me alone again”.
At last, they held a wedding happily. And Bo Wen became better and better.

Have you ever not wanted to do something so badly that you would rather die than go? Well that’s how I      about joining Madcaps, a mothers and daughters club assisting philanthropies(慈善事业).But now I believe that you     open up your mind to things because eventually you might     end up enjoying it.

“It’s a waste of time”, I said when my mom told I had to join Madcaps, and then when she said I had to      at a homeless shelter I thought this just could not be      .

We got there late, of course, and the security guard led us to the kitchen    we ran into 48 other fellow Madcaps members. Since I’m     so socially awkward(糟糕的) I had met only one person at a pool party, earlier this year. I looked around for her but she was not there. Damn, I was     ! When the man in charge came out and asked for 3 mothers to work outside the      to clean up the plates, my mom just happened to volunteer leaving me to      food with others.

Soon the     families started to walk in and a little girl walked up and pointed to the food I was     I gave her the cold sandwich, she nodded in a form of saying      , and then walked to join her family at the large table.

As she walked away I thought of how much I       I get to go the top schools. I have a great house and I have a warm meal every night. It     that little girl to make me realize how lucky I am. After that moment I had a change of     . Now, I love Madcaps and don’t miss one meeting, I have       being socially awkward and now have many friends. And this year I am sure I will do      the required 20 hours of philanthropies.

I believe that if you have an     mind about things you can accomplish more and become a better rounded person. I believe sometimes you can make a difference just     doing one thing you don’t want to do .

It was a cold winter. The day my husband fell to his death, it started to snow, just  1  any November day. His   2  , when I found it, was lightly covered with snow. It snowed almost every day for the next four months, while I sat on the couch and watched it   3  . One morning, I walked slowly   4   and was surprised to see a snow remover clearing my driveway and the bent back of a woman clearing my walk. I dropped to my knees and crawled back upstairs,  5  those good people would not see me. I was   6  . My first thought was, how would I ever  7  them? I didn’t have the  8  to brush my hair,   9  clear someone’s walk.

Before Jon’s death, I felt proud that I   10  asked for favors. I identified myself by my competence and  11  . So who was I if I was no longer capable? How could I   12  myself if I just sat on the couch every day and watched the snow fall?

Learning to receive the love and   13  from others wasn’t easy. Friends cooked for me and I cried. Finally, my friend Kathy said, “Mary, cooking for you isn’t a   14  for me; it makes me feel good to be able to do something for you.”

Over and over, I heard   15  words from the people who supported me during those  16  days. One wise man told me, “You aren’t doing nothing because being fully open to your  17  may be the hardest work you will ever do.”

I am not the person I   18  was, but in many ways I have changed for the   19  . I’ve been surprised to learn that there is incredible freedom coming form  20  one’s worst fear and walking away whole. I believe there is strength, for sure, in accepting a dark period of our life.

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.”

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

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

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.

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
