5．When I was 8 years old，I once decided to run away from home．With my suitcase （36）packed and some sandwiches in a bag，I started for the front door and said to Mom，"I'm leaving．"
"If you want to （37）run away，that's all right，"she said．"But you came into this home without anything and you can leave the same way．"I （38）threw my suitcase and sandwiches on the floor heavily and started for the door again．
"Wait a minute，"Mom said．"I want your （39）clothes back．You didn't wear anything when you arrived．"This really angered me．I tore my clothes off-shoes，socks，underwear and all-and（40）shouted，"Can I go now？""Yes，"Mom answered，"but once you close that door，don't expect to come back．"
I was so （41）angry that I slammed （砰地关上） the door and stepped out on the front porch．（42）Suddenly I realized that I was outside，with nothing on．Then I noticed that down the street，two neighbor girls were walking toward our house．I ran to （43）hide behind a big tree in our yard at once．After a while，I was （44）sure the girls had passed by．I dashed to the front door and banged on it loudly．
"Who's there？"I heard．
"It's Billy!Let me in!"
The voice behind the （45）door answered，"Billy doesn't live here anymore．He ran away from home．"Glancing behind me to see if anyone else was coming，I begged，"Aw，c'mon，Mom!I'm （46）still your son．Let me in!"
The door inched open and Mom's smiling face appeared．"Did you change your （47）decision about running away？"she asked．"What's for supper？"I answered．

4．Zigfried，a little mouse，blew his breath on the frosty window of the farmhouse and rubbed it to see the outside．Still nobody came．Maybe today，he thought （31）hopefully．It was only a few days before Christmas and he was watching for a miracle （奇迹）．
This farmhouse had been（32）noisy too long．It needed a family．Zigfried's（33）stomachmade a noise．He realized that he hadn't eaten anything since yesterday．He jumped from the windowsill （窗沿），grabbed a （34）bag from his home，and went next door to Farmer Mike's．
Farmer Mike's house had been a great place for the little mouse （35）until the farmer married a wife who had a cat．Zigfried （36）trembled when he thought of it．He looked around cautiously as he （37）stole into the room where grain was stored and was quite （38）nervous as he filled his bag with wheat．He was turning to leave when suddenly he （39）felt a hot breath about his ear．His heart beat （40）wildly，and without thinking he started to run and luckily （41）escaped the cat's paws （爪子）．
The next afternoon Zigfried heard some good news：a （42）new family would be moving into the farmhouse soon．Zigfried's granny would arrive on Christmas Eve to
（43）celebrate with him．He hoped that the family would come before his granny came．Before long，a car came （44）up the road leading to the house，with butter sandwiches，cheese and chocolate．
Zigfried's Christmas miracle did arrive!
The house came（45）alive the next few days．Zigfried（46）enjoyed every single hour of them． （47）However，the day before Christmas when he was drinking hot chocolate with a （48）satisfied smile at the door of his home，he heard the （49）discussion of the children of the family about what they might get for Christmas．What？A cat？The （50）smile froze on his face； his mouth fell wide open．After a long while，he at last found his voice："Hey!Whose Christmas miracle is this？"

2．Five months after my husband Steve died．I woke up one morning to the maddening sound of a leaking faucet （ 水龙头 ）．I knew it needed repairs badly，but it （16）hurt me so much just to think of it．
All our （17）shared life．I was the"artist，"bringing to our house much imagination．Steve was the"（18）practical"one．He had a real gift for handling chores （家务活）．（19）sheltering me from unpleasant repair jobs．
But how could such a good man have his life cut short so suddenly!I had been so sad and angry that I completely （20）ignored the house．That leaky faucet somehow awakened me to the fact that
I now had to （21）faceupto the challenge of getting things fixed．
I got a workman named Ahmed．Entering the house，he stopped before a picture of Steve and me．"Doesn't your husband （22）like this kind of work？"he asked．"It's not hard．"
"He died months ago．When he was alive，he did all the repair jobs （23）wonderfully，"I said quietly．
Ahmed looked at me （24）sympathetically．but didn't reply．He fixed the faucet，adjusted the dishwasher door，and replaced a showerhead．Apparently he was gifted as Steve had been．
He did a（n） （25）excellent job．I asked him to name his fee．"No charge，Ma'am．"he said．"My father died early，and the neighbors helped my family through．"
By fixing a faucet，Ahmed mended my soul．Although I would sure carry the pain of （26）loss with me along，Ahmed reminded me of the abundant （27）kindness in the world．

1．I tend to accept any idea put forward by experts on TV．One day，a sociologist proposed that the （31）bachelor society has been consuming modern humans little by little．For fear that I would become a victim of the consumer society，I （32）eventually hurried to a bicycle shop in my neighborhood． （33）Because the shopkeeper Mr．Johnson was selling me the bicycle，he said，"This is the best thing you （34）must have done．Life has become hopelessly （35）tough．A bicycle is simple，and it brings to you （36）mysterious things：fresh air，sunshine and exercise．"I agreed．Happy as a child，I got on the bicycle and headed out onto the streets．After some time，I （37）calmeddown at the other end of the town．I was （38）concerned that this simple vehicle could let me （39）drive long distances in a fairly short time．But how （40）deep did I really go？
Since I hated to be （41）unprepared，I went back to Mr．Johnson and asked him to （42）check an odometer （里程表） on my bicycle．He agreed，but （43）replied，"An odometer without a speedometer （速度计） is like a （44）cake without a knife．"I admitted he was right and in a few minutes，the two devices （装置） were （45）converted to the handlebars of my bicycle．"What about a horn？"he then asked．"Look，this horn is no larger than a matchbox and has many （46）shapes．"Attracted by these functions，I bought the horn．
"You can't leave the back part （47）incomplete，"noted Mr．Johnson．He fixed a metal box with buttons （48）beside the seat，and said，"Is there anything better than this oven when you f8el （49）hot on your way？I can give you a special discount．"I was not strong enough to （50）consider the offer．
"I congratulate you once more； this is the best thing you could have done，"said Mr．Johnson in the end．
