Susan was falling more 4  since she had trouble walking. Every inch of ice was a 5 danger for her. “I wish I could do something,” the boy thought. David, too, was having 6 of his own. The boy had a speech problem, so at school he talked 7.
  One day, David's teacher announced a 8 homework. "Each of you is going to come up with an 9," she said. This was for "INVENT AMERICA", a national competition to encourage creativity in children.

  “ 12 the sharp end would scratch(划破) floors,” Susan said.
  “No, Mom, I 13 make it like a ball-point pen. You take your hand off the button and the 14 returns back up.” Hours later the cane was finished. David and his father 15 as Susan used it to walk 50 feet above the 16. Happily Susan cried out, “It 17 !”
  In July 1999, David was18 national winner for the "INVENT AMERICA". David began to make public appearance. Thus he was forced to communicate 19.Today, David is nearly free of his speech problem, and his 20 is becoming well accepted.

I first went to hear a live rock concert when I was eight years old. My brother
and his friends were all 1 of a heavy metal group called Black Wednesday. When they 2 that Black Wednesday were going to perform at our local theatre, they all bought 3 for performance. However, at the last minute, one of the friends couldn’t go, so my brother 4 me the ticket. I was really 5!
I remember the buzz (嘈杂声) of excitement inside the theatre as we all found our 6. After a few minutes, the lights went down and everybody became 7. I could barely make out the stage in the 8. We waited. Then there was a roar from the crowd, like an explosion, as the first members of the band 9 the stage. My brother leaned over and shouted something in my ear, but I couldn’t 10 what he was saying. The first song was already starting and the music was as 11 as a jet engine. I could 12 the drum beats and bass notes in my stomach.
I can’t recall any of the songs that the band played. I just 13 that I really enjoyed the show and didn’t want it to 14. But in the end, after three encores (加演), the show finished. We left the 15 and walked unsteadily out onto the pavement. I felt a little dizzy, as if I had just 16 from a long sleep. My ears were still 17 with the beat of the last song.
After the 18 , I became a Black Wednesday fan too for a few years before getting into other kinds of music. Once in a while, 19, I listen to one of their songs and 20 I’m back at that first show.

I was tired and hungry after a long day of work. When I walked into the living-room, my 12-year-old son looked 1 at me and said, “I love you.” I didn't know what to say. 2 several seconds all I could do was to stand there and 3 down at him . My first thought was that he must need 4with his homework or he was trying to 5me for some news.
Finally I asked, “What was that all about?” “Nothing,” he said. “My teacher said we should 6our parents that we love them and sees what they say. It’s 7.
The next day I called his teacher to find out more about this “experiment” and how the other parents had 8.
“Basically, most of the fathers had the 9 reaction as you did,” the teacher said. “When I first 10 we try this, I asked the children what they thought their parents would say. Some of them thought their parents would have heart trouble.
“The 11 is,” the teacher explained, “feeling loved is an important part of  12 . It is something all people 13. What I'm trying to tell the children is that it's too 14 we don't all express those feeling. A boy 15  tell his dad he loves him.”
The teacher, a middle-aged man, understands how 16 it is for some of us to say the things that would be good for us to say.
When my son came to me that evening, I held on to him for a (n) 17 moment. And just 18 he pulled away , I said in my deepest , most manly voice , “Hey , I love you , too . ”
I don't know if saying that made either of us healthier, but it did feel pretty good. Maybe next time one of my children says “I love you”, it would not take me a whole   19  to think of the right        20 .

Cheerful Charlie was a very special boy. When he was still in his mother’s tummy, she had an accident, which meant that Charlie couldn’t walk. But that had never been a(n)1for him; they had started calling him Cheerful Charlie because of his joyful and2nature. He really brightened everything up for those around him.
There wasn’t a postman, or a taxi driver who wasn’t3to see Charlie. “Cheer up, Mr. Postman, that way you’ll4more letters today!” he would say, or “That was great, Mr. Taxi Driver. You5that thing better than anyone else. ”
He also had great ideas and6for everything; and he shared them so generously that, just about every day in that town, someone did a great job, or7something new, thanks to Charlie’s ideas.
One day, though, he came up against a real8. A young boy came to town on his holidays. He was known as Waterworks and was a real crybaby. No matter what Charlie said to him, Waterworks would always find some9to be sad: “I don’t have many sweets… my parents didn’t buy me that toy…” Everything seemed so bad to him. But Cheerful Charlie wasn’t going to be10, and he kept spending more time with Waterworks,11trying to cheer him up, just as he did with everyone.
Then, one day, when they were together in the street, someone12a pie from a window above by chance, and it landed13on Charlie’s head. He got such a fright that he couldn’t even move his lips. He was speechless, and although Waterworks was just about to cry,   he 14   Charlie’s happy words so much that he finally said, “Wow, Charlie, that’s a nice clown mask(小丑面具) you just put on!”
On saying those words, Waterworks felt so15that he finally understood why Charlie was always so happy and cheerful. He realized that he was so used to Charlie’s enthusiasm that he couldn’t help but see the funny side of everything.

Bob and Annie had not known each other long before they became eager to get married:Bob because he wanted Annie and she because she could at least lead a life away from her1. When Mrs.Thompson 2 that they marry and live with her until they could get a 3 3 of their own, Annie hesitated. Her idea of 4 had been something which 5 5her a husband and an orderly, well-furnished home all at once. 6 she soon saw the 7  of this arrangement. She would, first of all, 8 from her present life into a house which was quiet and well run, not 9 her own; and she would be able to go on walking so that she and Bob could 10 up all the more quickly for their own house. She would also get Bob, a good enough husband for any working-class 11:good-natured and 12 to be bent her way whenever it was 13 13for her ends.
Things went well until her mother-in-law’s 14, when Annie had to give up her 15 and was at home all day. Her father-in-law became just a 16 figure in the house and 17Bob became used to him, Annie began to find the old man’s constant 18in the house a source of growing annoyance(烦恼).
“He gets on my nerves, Bob,” she said. “And he hardly says a word all day.”
“Well, I suppose he has a 19 to do as he likes,” Bob said mildly. “It’s his house not ours.” But to Annie, now looking after the house 20 it were her own, it was beginning to seem the other way about.
