The young couple had another quarrel. They were sitting silently when the landlady came in and asked, “You don’t 1 the house any more?” He kept silent and she 2 shook her head.
The landlady began 3 the house. After looking around, the landlady screamed, “See how you have 4 my house? The walls are full of nails! How could I rent it to others?”
She began looking around her 5room. Four years ago on the wedding night, he felt deeply 6 to her, saying, “I feel so sorry to you for 7 you live in this small room. In the future I will buy our own big house.”
This tiny room has two nails on the wall next to the door, one for her bag and the other 8 At that time, she threw all her stuff such as her bag and umbrella on the 9 once she entered the room, staring at the whole 10and feeling terribly upset. Then he began 11 more nails into the wall. There were three nails on the left, on which 12 his clothes yesterday and four on the right used to 13 their wedding photo frame.
The landlady started to pull the nails out with a tool. After the nails were14, the walls were left with countless holes. Suddenly, she felt heartbroken as if she were 15 nonstop through these holes.
　　She 16 to her feet and exclaimed, “Stop removing the nails! We will rent the house 17 we buy our own!” He gazed at her surprised, and then turned round, tears over his cheek.
She 18realized that marriage was like a wall and that all 19 and “cold wars” were like the nails on the wall.20, when they were removed, only a wall with holes would remain. But if all the nails were still in their own places, the wall was still complete and reliable.

A businessman was deep in debt (欠债)and could see no way out. He sat on the park bench, 1in hands, wondering if anything could 2 his company.
Suddenly an old man appeared. “I can see3is troubling you,” he said. After listening to the businessman's 4, the old man said, “I believe I can5 you.” He asked the businessman’s name ,and 6 a check (支票), saying , “Take this money. Meet me here exactly one year from today, and you can 7 me back at that time.” Then he left quickly.
The businessman8 in his hand a check for $ 500,000,signed(签字)by John D. Rockefeller, who was then one of the9 men in the world! “I can get rid of my money worries now!” he realized. But instead, he10to put the check in his case, just knowing it was there to give him the strength to work out a11 to save his company.
Within a few months, he was out of debt and12money once again. Exactly one year later, he returned to the13with the check. At the agreed-on14, the old man appeared.

I stopped to watch my little girl busy playing in her room. In one hand was a plastic 1; in the other a toy broom. I listened as she was speaking to her make-believe(假装) little friend and I’ll never forget the words she said, even though it was imagined.
She said, “Suzie’s in the corner because she’s not been very2. She didn’t listen to a 3 I said or do the things she should.” In the4 I saw her baby doll all dressed in lace and pink. It was5 she’d been put to sit alone and6.
My daughter7 her “conversation”, as I sat down on the floor. She said, “I’m all fed up. I just don’t know8 to do with her any more. She cries whenever I have to work and wants to play games, too. She never9 me do the things that I just have to do. She tries to help me with the dishes, but her arms just cannot10. And she doesn’t know how to fold towels. I don’t have the11 to teach. I have a lot of work to do and a big house to keep clean. I don’t have the time to sit and play —12 what I mean?”
And that day I thought a lot about making some `13` in my life, as I listened to her words that14 me like a knife. I hadn’t been paying enough attention to what I hold most15. I’d been caught up in responsibilities that increased16 years.
But now my17 has changed, because, in my heart, I realize that I’ve seen the world in a different light through my little darling’s eyes. So, let the cobwebs（蜘蛛网）18 the corners and the dust bunny rabbit rule the floor. I’m not going to worry about keeping up with them19.
I’m going to fill the house with20 of a child and her mother, for we are granted only one childhood, and we will never get another.

The young boy and his father sat quietly watching the snow fall on a snowy Saturday afternoon.
“Dad, my friend told me that every snowflake is 1. But they look all the same to me. How can we tell?” the child asked.
Dad felt it was his 2to give a more satisfying answer. “Son, snowflakes are like people. We are each 3in a very special way. We can test it right now,” he said.
The child stood up, put out his hands, and 4as snowflakes landed on his gloves. “These snowflakes are all different on my gloves, but those in the yard look the same. Together they are even more_5and striking. Then if people are like snowflakes, why don't they 6?”
“Choice,”Dad said. "Their choices 7them what they are.”
“ 8choice is a bad thing?” the boy asked.
“Oh, no. Only when we choose the9things.”
“How do we tell right from wrong?" the child asked.
Dad was given the chance to build upon the foundation of his son's 10. He reached down and began to 11with the snow. He 12the snow into two sides, three large snowballs on one side and several smaller ones on the other.
“Which side did the right thing?” he asked the boy.
The child looked at both sides but13 answer. Then Dad placed the three larger snowballs on top of each other.
“It’ s a snowman! The side14made me snowman!” the boy replied with15
Yes, all these people came together and recognized how special each of them was, so they joined in a(n)16 to build up mankind,” Dad said.
The child then stood up and 17an arm full of the smaller snowballs. One by one he began to throw them at the other small piles of snow. He said,”This is what happens when people can't work together. They have a(n) 18.”
Dad was shocked. He stood up, lifted the boy and 19him tightly, whispering to him, “I hope that your world will learn to work and live together. I hope you will make the right 20
and learn to build the best snowman ever.”

Seventeen-year-old Rivertown teenager, John Janson, was honoured at the Lifesaver Awards last night for carrying out lifesaving first aid on his neighbour after a shocking knife 1.
John was presented with his award at a ceremony which recognized the 2 of the ten people who have saved the life of others.
John had been studying in his room when he heard 3. When he and his father rushed outside, they 4 that Anne Slade, mother of three, had been stabbed（刺）5 with a knife by her ex-boyfriend（前男友）. The man ran from the 6 and left Ms Slade lying in her front garden 7 very heavily. Her hands had almost been cut off.
It was John’s quick 8 and knowledge of first aid that saved Ms Slade’s life. He immediately asked a number of the 9 people for bandages（绷带）, but when nobody could put their hands on anything, his father got some tea towels（毛巾）and 10 from their house. John used these to dress the most severe 11 to Ms Slade’s hands. He slowed the bleeding by applying pressure to the wounds until the 12 and ambulance arrived.
“I’m 13 of what I did but I was just doing what I had been 14,” John said.
John had taken part in the Young Lifesaver Scheme at his high school. When 15 John, Mr Alan Southerton, Director of the Young Lifesaver Scheme, said, “16 is no doubt that John’s quick thinking and the first aid17 that he had learned at school saved Ms Slade’s life. It shows that a simple knowledge of the first aid can make a real 18.”
John and the nine other lifesavers also attended a 19 reception yesterday hosted by the Prime Minister before 20 their awards last night.

Ban the Band(乐队)？
Every year,our school has a dance for all the students.It’s a little funny seeing friends in clean shoes and trousers or colorful 1,instead of the usual school uniform.
Most of us think the dance is great 2—even the teachers enjoy being there.3,two weeks ago someone said that there would be no 4 band this year—only CDs.
“I don’t 5 it!”Amy cried out during the lunch break.
“Someone said the school couldn’t 6
“Well,I don’t think it’s 7 enough without a band!”declared Angela,“and I’m going to see what can be done.”
Angela was as good as her 8.In the afternoon she went to see the school headmaster who agreed to give the 9 some more thought.And he suggested that one 10 for having a band was to increase the price of each ticket from $数学公式$ 10.Angela had to 11 out whether the students would like to do that.
“I need all of you to help me,”she 12 to our group before school the next day.“Mr.Berry gave me a list of all the names,and suggested we ask each one their 13 about the band and the extra cost.”
14 the day we asked around as Angela suggested,and wrote down people’s feelings about the band and the cost.We were amazed how much 15 there was for the band and everyone agreed to pay the extra $5.
“I’m surprised,”smiled Mr. Berry,when we gave him the 16.“I really thought that only a few people 17 their band and that the cost would be too high.OK,Angela,your next 18 is to find a good band and line them up for the dance.”
Angela was all smiles and 19 the news to Amy and Daniel.“You’re 20,”smiled Daniel to Angela as he thought how close they came to having a less than perfect dance.

I can still remember the first day when I met my best friend． I hid behind my mother and she hid behind her grandmother, 1 to look at each other． But we soon lost the 2 and started playing with each other． In the 7^th grade, I first lost touch with her． She was going through family problems and I deserted her to be with the “cooler people”. 3 of my new friends liked her as much as I did because they knew she had “problems”． However, every summer we would 4 sit at each other’s home and watch soap operas and talk about everything we liked．
It was last year when I noticed the problem． I guess I was just too busy in high school to realize she needed someone there for her． Well, she made a new “best friend” and 5 did I． Then I didn’t know why, but she started cutting herself．
She was diagnosed with clinical depression(抑郁症)． I was very 6 at first, but with the late night calls, we still stayed in touch. I wanted to be there for her since her new best friend 7 deserted her. When people were calling her 8, I knew I still 9her like a sister．
Yesterday she came 10 me and said this,” I never knew what a best friend was 11 I found you were the only person that would stop me from cutting, the only person that ever made me feel better about myself and my 12 ． You don’t know this but I was trying to kill myself one night when you 13 me． I owe you so much, and you didn’t even know you were 14 me．” We both cried． And I guess a kind of lesson from my life so far is to never 15 your friends．

After 21 years of marriage, my wife wanted me to take another woman out to dinner. 1 woman was my mother, who has been a widow for 19 years, but my work had made 2 impossible to visit her very often. That night I called to 3 her to go out for dinner.“What’s wrong? Are you 4?”she asked. “I thought that it would be 5 to spend some time with you. Just the two of us,”I answered. She thought about it 6 moment, and agreed.
That Friday after work, 7 I drove to pick her up, I was a bit nervous. When I arrived at her house, I 8 that, she, too, seemed to be 9 about our date. She had curled her hair and was wearing the dress that she had worn to 10 her last wedding anniversary.
We went to a restaurant that, 11 not elegant, was very nice and cozy. When I read the menu, Mom sat there 12 at me. A nostalgic(怀旧的)smile was 13 her lips. During the dinner, we had a(an) 14 conversation—nothing special but catching up on(了解)recent events of each other’s life.
A few days 15, my mother died of a heart attack. It happened so suddenly that I didn’t have a chance to do 16 for her. Sometime later, I received an envelope with a note 17“You will never know what that night meant to me. I’m looking forward to the 18 dinner. I love you, Son.”
At that moment, I understood the importance of saying in time“I LOVE YOU”. Nothing in life is more important than your 19. Give them the time they deserve, because these things cannot be 20 till“some other time”.

When I was six, my mother placed me in a1school. For the next nine years, I2slept in a room that3less than 30 other kids in it. So, when I was promoted to senior at the high school for my4year there, I had the greatest5of rooming with just one other classmate, and the added feature of a semi-private bathroom.
We seniors also had the feature of walking around the6in special hats, we called senior bonnets, so all the other kids would know we were the7in the high school. As seniors, we frequently went on field8outside the campus, including city museums, city hall , colleges and theatres. The highlight was a senior class trip to Washington, D.C.,9we sat in on a session of Congress,10the monument and many other government sites around the city.
Another11of being seniors was that many of us on athletic and other extra-curricular teams were elected to high ranking for the year. I had the honor and pleasure of12captain of our state championship swim team, while my roommate was voted13of the drama club.
14services were on a sunny day in June. Each of us had looked forward to this moment for ten years. Now we were going out on our own to complete freedom, and we should have been flooded with joy.15, to my surprise, I found myself16, something I hadn’t done for years. I noticed many of my17, usually proud of their macho attitudes, were also wiping away tears. We knew we would never be together again as we were on that graduation day. Our senior year18deep feelings of sadness for our19, as well as joy for our emerging into a new world20the school campus.

It might have been a really bad stressful day, feeling trapped inside by the cold and snow which surrounded us. My husband got dressed and 1 that he was going outside to build a giant snowman.
At first he stood alone,2 massive amounts of snow. Soon after a neighbor joined in. Then we reluctantly put on our snow gear(装备) and 3 outside. It wasn’t long 4 we were smiling and enjoying the 5 of snow that Mother Nature had provided. Others came to our yard one by one to give a 6 in the making of our giant snowman.
In the end we all stood back and 7 at what we had created. He was eleven feet high, twenty-five feet around at the base and 8 with many household items supplied by various 9 .People drove by and smiled. Some even stopped just to enjoy his 10.
With the passing of time, the spring made its 11 back into our yard and the snowman changed form 12 .In a final effort to save what we created for just a little bit 13 ,somebody stopped by and changed the snowman’s 14 to look like a rabbit.
As I prepared for the start of another week, I decided to 15 my email before going to bed. I found a 16 message that contained the subject line: 17 the snowman.
The email said:… your neighbor looks on in disbelief! Now you people are relishing(享受) the sounds and smells, along with 18 of spring. But I am sure people will never forget the 19 energy displayed in Mr Snow-man. You and your family keep it up, as this is what the world needs now. More power to you and your loved ones, keep 20 with the world around!
