| "It's my own fault." Carl Fenter pulled his jacket closer against the abnormal bite of cold morning wind. "The rest of the family is home, where it's 1 ." Just another one of his 2 ideas-a big tamale (玉米粉蒸肉) feast after tonight's Christmas Eve service at the church-and look where it landed him: waiting in a line 50 people deep. Who would have guessed that the tamale in every shop in the city would be sold out the day before Christmas? But they 3 , as Carl knew. He had been driving all over El Paso that morning. 4 to bring home tamales, Carl tried one last shop, an old favorite out in Canutillo. When he arrived, a fresh batch (一炉) was 5 off the steamer in 45 minutes. 6 at the end of the snaking line of tamale-seekers, he watched the woman in front of him 7 her jacket to cover her shivering youngster. It wasn't long before she, too, 8 in the biting wind. After only a moment's 9 , Carl took off his own jacket and offered it to the 10 mother. Together, they 11 when the line slowly moved forward at last, and smiling people exited the shop carrying steamy bags. 12 , Carl got inside the door and 13 closer to the counter, the woman now first in line. "Sorry folks," the clerk announced, "that's the last of the tamales." " 14 !" Carl groaned (抱怨) with everyone else 15 behind him. " 16 ," stressed the man at the counter, "we'll have a final batch ready 17 , oh, about two hours." Defeated, Carl backed away,but the young mother grabbed his arm. "You're leaving?" "I 18 ," Carl glanced at his watch. "I promised to put up luminarias (传统圣诞灯) at my church." "I'll get your order of tamales and bring them to your house." Carl's brow furrowed "I couldn't ask you to do that." "But it's 19 I can do. You lent me your coat." Her smile overrode (推翻) his objections. "Just give me your address." She and her little girl settled in for the long wait. And at 20 noon on Christmas Eve,they delivered four dozen fragrant tamales-along with Carl's brown jacket-to his home. | ||||

EVERY morning in the school dormitory, I am woken up by the morning bell along with the crow (啼叫) of the two peacocks, which are the most special inhabitants in our campus.
When I first heard about them, I thought it was so 1 to have two useless peacocks in a high school 2 I even planned a letter to the president 3 him to send them to the zoo. Yet after I paid them my first 4 , which was a week later, I 5 changed my mind.
That was my first Friday in school, 6 was filled by books and tests. My friend enthusiastically 7 me to the back garden of our school to visit the peacocks. I unwillingly followed her through the 8 and unruly (混乱的) flood of busy students, and came into the quiet little garden.
The 9 silence and special fragrance of water and grass quickly entered (沁入) my 10 heart, and brought me some fresh air. I walked to the cage of the peacocks and saw the two attractive creatures. "They are so 11 ."
Those simple words popped into my mind 12 I had seen peacocks many times in the zoo. I thought about the 13 of several famous poets and artists while 14 them peanuts and ice cream, and I felt a kind of 15 of nature and study in my mind.
Men are beings instead of 16 . Working like machines will change our pristine (质朴的) minds and healthy hearts. There was 17 reporting that a student at Fudan University 18 30 lost cats. I believe he did not graduate from our school, where everyone can hear the crow from the heavenly animals every morning.
I think nowadays, high school students need to go out to 19 our bodies and minds, 20 crouching down behind the piles of text books.
