It was a Friday afternoon. An elderly lady was doing the   21  in a supermarket. When she returned to her 22 , she found four men in the act of   23  her car. So she  24  her shopping bags and took out her   25 , screaming at the top of her voice, “I have a gun, and I know how to use it!   26  the car!”
The four men didn’t   27  for a second threat. They all got out immediately and   28  like mad.
After she got into the   29   seat and prepared to drive away, she was   30  that she could not get her key into the ignition (点火开关). She   31  over and over again, and then she suddenly realized why,   32  she found that there was a football, a jacket and two packs of cigarettes in the front seat.
A few minutes later, she saw her own car   33  four or five spaces farther down. She put her bags into the car and drove to the police station to report her  34 .
The police officer to whom she told the story couldn’t stop  35 . He pointed to the other end of the corner, where four   36  men were reporting that their car was   37  by a mad, elderly woman   38  as white, less than five feet tall, glasses, curly white hair, and   39  a large handgun. Not surprisingly, the elderly lady felt very sorry for what she had done, and   40  to the four men.

Last night, when I was driving back home, I noticed a hitchhiker(搭便车的人) who was having no luck getting a ride. I rolled down my  36  and signed to the man to my car. I asked him where he was  37  and he told me he needed a  38  to his doctor’s office which would close in 15 minutes. I told him to  39  and he gratefully did so.
40  he got in he told me that he was a  41  and went out to sea for weeks at a time. He took medicine for his nerves and  42  to get another prescription(处方) before he left on the boat. He said that he had prayed (祈祷) 43  would stop for him so he could be there before the  44     office closed. With some  45  driving we managed to make it there in about 10  46. I then asked him how he  47  on getting back home and he said he could walk. “I’ll patiently  48     for you and bring you back,” I told him. He  49  me and said he should only be about 15 minutes.
Afterwards he got back in my 50 and tried his hardest to pay me back: offering me dinner, gas money, even offering to ship me 40 lbs of scallops (海扇贝)! I  51  refused, gave him a smile card and asked him to help someone else the next time he had a  52. I drove him back to where I had picked him up and  53  one more “thank you” he was on his way.
I feel that the universe  54   provides us with what we need. In the man’s  55  it was a ride, in mine the opportunity to help someone else.

When I was six years old, my mom told me that I could find anyone's number in the phone book. I used to look through the phone book for hours trying to find Michael Jordan's phone number. When I couldn't find it, I just dialed seven numbers. When someone answered, I'd ask, "Is that Michael Jordan?" Obviously, I always had the wrong number.
A year later I started playing basketball at my local recreation center. It was very big. I never thought in my wildest dreams that a basketball court could be inside a building. The recreation center had a special smell in it, sort of like hot rubber. I guessed it was from the shoes hitting the floor so fast and hard. The atmosphere on the court was carefree. Our biggest excitement of the day was when we actually made a shot. We celebrated wins over ice cream at a fast food restaurant.
I got good at it, and my confidence grew. I played it all the time until the sixth grade. As soon as junior high school came, I stopped playing basketball and focused on school. When senior high school started, I tried out for the school team and made it. We worked hard. Every week we did 300 push-ups and 300 sit-ups on our own. Our coach encouraged the sit-ups to keep stomach power, because it gave us so much control when we were playing basketball. If we didn't want to do the sit-ups and push-ups, we could practice dribbling (运球) and shooting more. It's just us, the ball, the court and the net. But don't take my word for it. See for yourself. After all, I'm just one kid playing the game.
