12.I met Ryan,a young man with cerebral palsy (脑瘫),in my biology class.My simple"Hello!"and his cheerful reply were the (36)Bto our friendship from the first day of school.There was a time when Ryan was not able to come to school.He was in a great deal of (37)C after having a surgery on his legs,but he (38)A his sufferings from everyone.
In our junior year,we found that we didn't (39)D a single class.This was not a problem,though.We just talked a little more in the hallway (40)C passing periods.That year seemed to fly by.One day,Ryan asked me to hold the torch (火炬) runner's flag that would (41)A the spot where Ryan would (42)B his Olympic torch run.He gently explained that he would be honored (43)C I would accept this position for him.The Olympic committee sent a letter saying that the person that holds the flag for him must be someone (44)D to him.He said I was the only true friend he had (45)A made that talked to HIM and not to his wheel chair.How could I (46)B such a request?
On the morning of June 5th,as I walked down the sidewalk,my heart (47)B and my mind became a factory of questions.I kept wondering how everything was going to happen and how Ryan would (48)C the huge crowd of thousands of people.
After the van arrived,the other runners got out and lined up outside the van,chanting his name,"Ryan!Ryan!"Then all of the people (49)D in,"Ryan!Ryan!"The lift then lowered Ryan to the ground.There he was,in all his (50)C.
It all became slow motion at the sight of the arriving torch.The runner lit Ryan's torch and then Ryan began his (51)B.As he took off down the street,the chanting became louder and louder.The (52)D filled the air and even I felt like I was on cloud number nine.I could not have been any prouder of Ryan!He (53)A this moment in time--a historic moment--a moment that he was a part of and (54)C me to be a part of,too.
Mr.Weinheimer,the next torch runner,bent over and gave Ryan a hug.That moment will last in time forever.It symbolized the whole (55)D of the flame:love,excitement,enthusiasm,brotherhood,and life of any man.The flame united us all and showed that love is really what makes this small world go around after all.

11.When my son,Justin,was four,he found a caterpillar (毛虫) and put it in a jar.Each day he fed it with fresh grass and leaves.In a few weeks we discovered it (36)B in a cocoon (茧).
Justin was excited.He knew a moth (蛾) or butterfly was about to be (3)A,but he didn't know what kind.He was (38)D to know what gift nature was about to give him.
"Dad!"shouted the boy while running to me one day."Something's (39)B.Come see!"
He led me to his room.The cocoon had become half transparent and we could (40)A the wings of the unborn.Soon,a moth broke free from the cocoon,and laid eggs completing the life (41)C of the little caterpillar.
The next day,I convinced Justin it was time to set the moth free.He took it(42)D,opened the jar,and the little moth flew out.It(43)C the yard twice,came back,and landed on Justin's arm.He picked it up,tossed it in the air,and the moth repeated its (44)A pattern.He tried over and over,but each time it would (45)D to his arm.
Justin (46)B.He put his little pet back to the jar.The next day he attempted to set it free again,and after a few repetitions of the same behavior,the moth(47)C flew off into the grass.
Like a (48)A,I believe the moth was afraid to leave what it was comfortable with.It wanted to stay with something (49)D,scared to move on and experience something unknown.
I was once that little moth.My cocoon was my mother's (50)A,in which I was comfortable.Like the moth,I didn't want to fly too far away from it.I was (51)C when my first job required me to move to a new city.What would I find there?I liked (52)B I was.
Humans are creatures of (53)C.We resist change.However,if I hadn't moved,I would not have experienced many (54)B and wonderful things or met many of my friends.So each move gave me the (55)D to learn and experience,but best of all,I met friends.
