That’s not 11 you said this morning." "This morning? 12 did I say we could run through the rain and not get wet?" "Don’t you 13 ? When you were talking to daddy about his cancer, you said, `we can get through anything!’" The mother paused and thought for a moment about what she would say. "Honey, you are absolutely 14 . Let’s run through the 15 . If we get wet, maybe we just need 16 ." The mother said and off they ran. We all 17 watching, smiling and laughing as they ran past all the cars.

The only thing that 1 my day was the beautifully decorated 2 in our waiting room and a 3 sent to me by a fellow I was dating-a dozen long-stemmed red roses.

He smiled and thanked me and said he felt saddened by the 15 that he hadn’t been able to get his wife 16 for Christmas. On hearing this, I was 17 with a wonderful idea. I’ll never forget the 18 on both their faces as the prisoner gave his wife the beautiful, long-stemmed red roses.

On Christmas Eve ,young children find the excitement almost unbearable .They are 4 between the wish to go to bed early so that Father Christmas will 5 their presents quickly, and the wish to stay up late so that they will mot miss the fun. The wish for gifts usually proves 6. But though children go to bed early, they of-ten lie awake in bed for a long time, hoping to 7 Father Christmas.

One evening, Brownie’s family 3 that Brownie hadn’t returned home. They went looking for him with no 4 .Brownie didn’t appear the next day, and, despite their 5 to fing him, by the next week he was still miss-ing. Curiously, Spotty 6 at Brownie’s house alone, barking. Busy with their own lives, they just ignoredthe 7 little neighbor dog. Finally, one morning Spotty 8 to take“no for an answer. Spotty followed Ted about, barking strongly, then running towards a nearby wood, as if to say “ 9 me!It’s urgent! Finally, Ted followed the anxious Spotty. The little dog led the man to a 10 spot a half mile from the house. There Ted found his beloved Brownie 11 ,one of his hind legs stuck in a steel leghold trap. Horrified,Ted now wished he’d taken Spotty’s earlier requirement 12 .Then Ted noticed something quite remarkable. Spotty had done more than simply 13 Brownie’s human owner to his trapped friend.In a circle around the 14 dog. Ted found some dog food---which was later 15 as the remains of every meal Spotty had been fed that 16 ! Spotty had been visiting Brownie 17 ,in a single-minded quest to keep his friend alive by offering his own comfort. Spotty had obviously stayed with Brownie to protect him from being hurt, snuggling with him at nigh to keep him 18 and touching him gently with its nose to keep his spirits up. Brownie’s leg was treated by a veterinarian and he re-covered. For many years afterward, the two 19 watched the faithful friends frolicking 20 chasing each other down that well-worn path between their houses. 1. A. . must B. should C. con D. need 2.
