Last Sunday turned out to be more exciting than I had expected. We were at our grandparents’ house for a visit as     31    . My cousin and I had made an appointment to go in-line skating in the nearby park. He could do some neat stunts (特技)and had promised to show me     32    .

We managed to persuade our parents to    33     us go in-line skating on our own.   34     it soon started to rain and we had to seek shelter on the empty deck (place) of a block of flats. It really dampened my     35    .

Suddenly, we heard a    36     and saw a man dashing out of a lift. Just as he ran   37      us, we saw an old woman coming out of the same lift and crying, “Thief! Thief!” My cousin immediately went after the thief in his    38     . To be honest, I was extremely    39     at the beginning .Then I heard a honk. It was my uncle and aunt. I jumped into their car and told them about the robbery. We   40    off in the thief’s direction while my aunt stayed with the old woman.

Soon, we    41   up with my cousin. He was still in hot pursuit of the thief. Seeing his 42     , my uncle sped up and turned suddenly to the right to   43    just in front of the thief. The man was   44    and fell to the ground. My uncle got out of the car and   45    the man down with his body.

By this time, we could hear the siren of a police car approaching,   46   , my aunt had phoned the police and told them the   47    in which we were heading, so they were able to locate us .

We handed the thief over to the police officers who took down our names and    48   . They informed us that we would be called up to give our   49    . After that, we returned to the empty deck in our uncle’s car to  50     my aunt up .

When we reached there, the old woman had already left to give a report to the police. Our family members were all proud of us for our courageous deed.

When we read books we seem to enter a new world. This new world can be similar to the one we are living in, or it can be very  31  .Some stories are told 32 they were true. Real people who live in a 33 world do real things; in other words, the stories are about people just like us doing what we do. Other stories, such as the Harry Potter books, are not  34 . They are characters and creatures that are very different from us and do things that would be 35 for us.

But there is more to books and writing than this. If we think about it, even realistic writing is only 36 . How can we tell the difference between what is real and what is not real? For example, when we read about Harry Potter ,we  37 seem to learn something about the real world. And when Harry studies magic at Hogwarts, he also learns more about his real life than  38 . Reading, like writing, is an action. It is a way of  39 . When we read or write something ,we do much more than simple look at words on a page. We use our 40--which is real—and our imagination—which is real in a different way --- to make the words come to life in our minds.

Both realism and fantasy(幻想) 41  the imagination and the “magic” of reading and writing to make us think. When we read 42  realistic, we have to imagine that the people we are reading about are just like us, even though we  43 that we are real and they are  44 . It sounds 45 ,but it works. When we read, we fill in missing information and  46 about the causes and effects of what a character does. We help the writer by  47 that what we read is like real life. In a way, we are writing the book, too.

Most of us probably don’t think about what is going on in our 48 when we are reading. We pick up a book and lose  49  in a good story, eager to find out what will happen next. Knowing how we feel  50  we read can help us become better readers, and it will help us discover more about the real magic of books.

When I was a little girl, my father loved to play the game of “catch the ball” with me. I wasn’t good at it 21  he didn’t mind at all. He was always telling me to 22  my eyes on the ball; otherwise I would not be able to 23  it when he threw it to me.
As I got older, we didn’t play the game as 24  as before. If I had a   25  , I would go to my father and   26   his advice. He would try to make a joke and say, “Keep your eyes on the ball.” We would both laugh   27   that advice was not usually able to   28   the problem, but he would just try to make me   29  .
My father became   30   in 1995 when I was 23. There were not any more conversations, as he was   31   from a terrible disease. He couldn’t   32  ; he could only move his   33   without making a sound, which was sometimes   34   to understand. I seemed to be   35   good at reading his lips after a while, even better than the nurses that were   36   him.
During one of our last   37   I was telling him about a difficulty I was   38  . Once again, I could read his lips. “Keep your eyes on the ball,” he said. We both smiled. That was the last time I saw my father   39   he passed away.
Sometimes now, all those years later when I get into a   40   situation, I just tell myself, “Keep your eyes on the ball.”
