It was in the past two years that Aaron Segura was always sinking at West Mesa High School in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The 16?year?old student was __1__ in golf, but his __2__ was another matter. Aaron was “just walking through the chapters hard” in courses like chemistry, his grades were low, and he was __3__ to dropping out. It was not that Aaron didn't have __4__； it simply didn't exist in his large, impersonal public high school.

Then his mother heard about Albuquerque's Charter Vocational High School(特立职业高中), a place where students __5__ plenty of one?on?one attention. Something else __6__ Aaron even more. His one strong goal was to go into __7__， and Charter Vocational had just the thing for him: an architectural CAD(computer?aided drafting) program.

Aaron __8__ the school at the beginning of his junior year. For the first time, he __9__ himself excited about learning. By the following summer, he had got a(n) __10__ as a draftsman for an architectural firm. His plan was to __11__ drafting professionally after he graduated.

If Aaron has anyone to thank for his __12__ of the fortune, it was Danny Moon, a long?time industrial arts teacher. Moon __13__ a vocational apprenticeship(学徒) program in the mid?1990s, __14__ the Albuquerque school district couldn't pay for any longer.

But two years later, in 2000, Moon's phone rang. The state had recently __15__ a charter school law, and a district official wondered if Moon might be __16__ in opening a vocational charter school. An easy __17__. With this sort of instruction, Moon knew he could __18__ students like Aaron，who might have a __19__ time in traditional high schools. He'd also be filling an increasing __20__ across New Mexico for skilled labor.

Tick，tock，tick，tock. I’m sitting here，watching the movements of my existence pass slowly away. My house has been 1 for such a long time，and I’m lonely and forgotten. Sitting here, by myself, all that I can do is 　2 and think about my past. I could tell you stories that only 3 would know. But walls can’t speak.

I came to this place many years ago，along with an old man…. 4 , he was with me for on1y three short years before he passed on….

For a time，I was left alone，while people came and 5 the house…. Then，one day a nice couple moved in with a young son. 6 , their son Danny liked to stay with me，and I was completely 7 with him. He always looked as if he loved the stories I told，most of which began with. ‘‘Back in my day…” and ‘‘When I was 8 .…” I sometimes had the kind of idea that he didn’t really understand what I was saying，but it felt good to be 9 ． When Danny went off to college, my heart broke. Soon afterward, 10 sold the house.…

New owners came and 11 . Then，One day it so happened that I was in when a new family was moving into the house. You can’t even imagine my 12 when，unexpectedly, Danny walked through the front door. He had a 13 and kids now. I was so overjoyed when I saw him that I put all my 14 into my daily activities. ... I spent the next twenty years watching his kids grow up, with a mixture of pride and 15 about what would happen next.

The kids finally became 16 and Danny sold the house. That was about five years ago…. Some of the local kids have started the rumor that the house is haunted (闹鬼的)--- and，in a way，it is. It is haunted by 17 of all the people who have lived in it. Every second has 18 me so much. I have been 19 them down and they are almost up for me.... I hope that someday somebody will 20 me, and drop in on me again. Maybe then I’ll get a new home and an opportunity for a whole new set of memories.
