I was listening to the radio while 1 was driving home from coaching basketball yesterday. I could tell right away that there was something  41  by the mood of the speaker. There had been a plane crash. What made the 42  even more tragic was that Bob Collins，the morning show man, was among those who had been killed. Throughout my 40-minute  43 , I listened as sincere love and affection from the audience  44 .The more I listened about how this man had influenced those around him, the more   45 I became.
That was because I wanted to know  46 we as a culture, wait until somebody has passed away before we tell them how much they  47 to us? Why do we wait until it is too late before we  48 someone up after they have died? Yes，49  memory after memory about someone's good  50 does help us cope with the sadness of losing someone special to us. But as we  51 remember this person, our words fall short of the ears that most need to hear  52 .
Just once,  53 a gathering of death，1 would like to see a celebration of life,  54 stories are told, tears fall down，laughter rings out；and as the speaker  55 his or her loving tribute(颂词), the person they are  56  rises from the chair and gives them a  57 hug! Wouldn’t that be   58 !
Life is too short to leave kind words   59 . How I wish that when the unavoidable funeral finally comes，we could say  60 with the knowledge that they knew exactly how people felt about them while they were here on earth.

Sometimes I really doubt whether there is love between my parents. Every day they are very busy trying to  31  in order to pay the high tuition for my brother and me. They don’t act in the 32 ways that I read in books or I see on TV. In their opinion, “I love you” is too 33 for them to say. Sending flowers to each other on Valentine’s Day is even more out of 34.
One day, my mother was sewing a quilt. I sat down beside her. “Mom, I have a question to ask you. Is there _35  between you and Dad?” I asked her in a very low voice. She didn’t answer immediately. She  36  her head and continued to sew the quilt.
I was very worried because I thought I had _37_ her. I was 38_ and I didn’t know what I should do. But at last I heard my mother say the following words:
“Susan,” she said thoughtfully, “Look at this thread．Sometimes it __39_, but most of it disappears in the quilt. The thread really makes the quilt _40__. If life is a quilt, then love should be a thread．It can hardly be seen _41 , but it’s really there. Love is 42_.”
I listened carefully but I __43_ her until the next spring. At that time, my father suddenly _44 seriously. My mother had to stay with him in the hospital for a month. When they returned from the hospital, they both looked __45_. It seemed both of them had had a serious illness. After they were back, every day in the morning and dusk, my mother helped my father 46__ on the country road．
“Dad, how are you feeling now?” I asked him one day.
“Susan, don’t _47  me.” he said gently. “To tell you the truth, I just like walking with your mom.”_48_ his eyes, I know he loves my mother deeply.
Once I thought love meant flowers, gifts and 49 . But from this experience, I understand that love is just _50_ in the quilt of our life. Love is inside, making life strong and warm.

The advertisement appeared in my e-mail—“1-800-Flowers: Mother’s Day Madness —for just $39.99！” I almost clicked on it, forgetting that those services would not be needed this year. My mother, Margaret Feiddman, died at the age of 89, and so this is my first Mother’s Day without my mom.
In my childhood, my mom appeared to be a typical suburban housewife of her generation. She sewed many of my sisters’ clothes, including both of their wedding dresses and boy’s suits for me. And on the side, she won several national bridge tournaments(桥牌锦标赛).
My mom left many indelible marks on me. The first was to never lose heart and to be independent. My dad died suddenly when I was 19. My mom worked hard for a couple of years. But in1975, I won a scholarship to study in Britain and my mom surprised us all by announcing that she decided to go with me. When I met difficulties, she always said: “You’re a man, so never lose heart, never be knocked down, and try your best to pursue(追求) your dreams.”
My mom’s other big influence on me is a sense of optimism. She had taken her knocks. But every time life knocked her down, she got up and kept on marching forward, encouraged by the saying that pessimists(悲观者) are usually right, optimists are usually wrong, but most great changes are made by optimists.
How I wish to listen to my mother’s words, and give my best regards on this Mother’s Day, but I have no chance now! My best friends, treasure(珍惜)your mother’s love!

A．be out of controlB．be easy to remember
C．be destroyed easilyD．be impossible to forget

Below are some of the heart-warming scenes that I witnessed and heard from others after the earthquake and flood.
In the supermarket, where goods of all the shelves  36 , people were picking up things so quickly together, and then  37  standing in line to buy food. Instead of creating panic（恐慌）and _38  as much as possible, they bought as little as they  39 _.
When I was walking home, there was a lady  40  a sign that said, “Please use our toilet.” She was  41  her house for people to go to the restroom. I also saw an old lady at a bakery shop  42  free bread. They made my heart  43 _.
A boy was saved because he climbed up on top of the roof of a store during the flood. The flood  44  so suddenly that he just saw people below trying to climb onto the roof, but failed. They were  45  by the flood. To help others, he kept filming them  46  their loved ones could see.
A foreign friend told me that she was  47  to see a long queue form so neatly（整齐地）behind one public phone. Everyone waited  48  to use the phone though they must have been so eager to call their families.
The  49  was horrible（可怕的）! Only one car could move  50  at a green light. But everyone was driving so calmly. During the 10-hour  51 , which would only take 30 minutes  52 , I heard only one horn（喇叭）and that was of thank you.
When I was  53  at the platform（站台）, a homeless person gave me a piece of cardboard to sit on. Even though we usually  54  them in our daily life, they were ready to help us.

Homeboy Goes to Harvard University
On January 11, 2007, as students sat and listened, a very important guest speaker named Richard, spoke to the students in the lecture hall. He not only showed the potential（潜能）within young adults, but  encouraged them to work hard at their lessons.
Richard was a young child when his mother died and his father walked out. He was forced into many different foster homes（寄养家庭）where he felt unhappy. He did not know that his life was taking a turn for the worst.
His uncle, after getting out of prison, got him into drugs and alcohol. His uncle taught him that his place in life was either to be in prison or die trying to be “a man.” His uncle’s teaching almost started affecting him until a very important person came into his life: a teacher. This teacher taught him there is a place in the world for everyone and it isn’t related to drugs.
Richard is now a Harvard University graduate and has a great and loving family. Why? He was taught to have respect not only for others, but for himself.
After the meeting, it was hoped that the students realized within them there is a potential, and within everyone around them, is knowledge. As Richard reminded them, “Knowledge is power.”
小题1:On January 11, 2007, students listened to a speech made by Richard, who graduated from ________.

I have two really good friends. Nancy and Richard. They both believe in the 1 of positive thinking. However, though their personalities are 2 . They are totally different in other areas of their lives. The biggest differences are their 3 , career choices, and way of life.
Love and concern 4 Nancy’s childhood. She , along with her younger sister, was 5  by her mother and father. Nancy’ parents were 6  in her schoolwork, making her excellent at school. On the other hand, Richard’s childhood lacked love. His parents 7  him up to his grandparents when they failed to take care of him 8 . His grandmother took care of him most of his growing up years.9 , since his sister didn’t live with him, he never really got to10 her.
Another difference is their career choice. Nancy has always been a 11 and made a choice to work in a variety of different12 settings: doctor’s offices, hospitals, nursing homes and a visiting nurse. Her13 part was working with pediatrics(小儿科)。 However,  Richard14 to work in the business world. He prefers to work with15rather than with people.
A third difference is their16. Nancy is always on the go. She goes to yard sales, out to eat,and enjoys nature. She is17; has five children, thirteen grandchildren, several great-grandchildren. 18, Richard likes to stay home and do things alone. He is single and has no children.
I am very 19 for the fact I have two similar yet very different friends, Nancy and Richard. This has 20 me that anyone can be positive thinker. And it is also what makes my friendship with both of them very intriguing(有趣的) and challenging.

I always long for romantic moments, like a little girl longing for candies．However, my husband is my complete  1 . His inability to bring romantic moments into our life has made me get tired of our   2 . One day, I finally told him that I wanted a divorce.
“Why?” he asked,   3 .
“I am tired; there are no  4 for everything in the world!” I answered.
He kept 5 , seeming to be in deep thought, with a lighted cigarette in his hands. Finally he asked, “What can I do to change your   6 ?”
Looking deep into his eyes I slowly answered, “Let’s say, I want a flower on a mountain cliff and picking the flower will cause your  7 . Will you do it for me?”
He answered, “I will give you my answer tomorrow.”
I   8 the next morning, finding a piece of paper on the dining table, which read: “My dear, I would not pick that flower for you, but please allow me to   9  .”
My feeling of disappointment only   10 , but I continued reading:
“You always leave the   11 keys behind, so I have to save my legs to  12 home to open the door for you. You always like to stay indoors and I   13  that you will feel too lonely, so I have to save my mouth to tell you jokes and stories. You always stare   14 the computer and that will do nothing  15 for your eyes, so I have to save my eyes so that when we grow   16 , I can help to clip your nails. Thus, my dear,   17 I am sure that there is someone who loves you more than I do, I could not pick that flower yet, and die.”
My tears fell on the   18 and I continued reading:
“Now that you have finished reading my answer, if you are   19 , please open the front door for I am standing outside   20 your favorite bread and fresh milk.”
