But by eleven o’clock he felt 39 and was ready to go to bed, though from his earlier experience he knew it was  40 trying to get to sleep. He undressed and lay for a while on the bed, trying to read, but he  41 himself reading the same page over and over again. He then turned off the light and  42 his head in the pillow. But 43 he could not shut  44 the noise, finally, after 45 seemed hours, his 46 was gone.

To my family and friends,

I have just started my tour of the area badly affected by the war. Everything is going really well, so no   16 . The land is beautiful but unfortunately it has a lot of   17  too. Let me   18 .

Last week, 120 school girls were   19  by a gas leak（泄漏）. Most have recovered but six are still in   20 . Even though the local government speaks about the   21 of education, most of the kids here only attend school for four hours a day if they are lucky. They are so excited and   22  to learn, but then have to   23  things like being attacked. Most of these kids are   24  and can’t afford a pencil or even paper. So I’m planning a trip to several schools to talk about   25  and to give these kids some of the   26  they need. That is where all of you can help. If you can   27  whatever school supplies you have available, that would be   28  appreciated.

I know how busy you are so thank you for taking the   29  to do this and I will post pictures of this   30  after I return.

Thank you again.
