It seemed no one cared about Steve, a twelve-year-old boy with alcoholic(酗酒) parents. In spite of his reading skills, he had been failing exams since first grade. Steve went unnoticed until Miss White.
　　Miss White was a smiling, young, beautiful redhead, and Steve was in love! For the first time in his young life, he couldn’t take his eyes off his teacher; yet, still he failed. He never did his homework, and he was always in trouble with Miss White. His heart would break under her sharp words, and when he was punished for failing to turn in his homework, he felt just miserable! Still, he did not study.
　　Until one day, Miss White talked to him, “Steve! Please! I care about you!”
Suddenly, Steve understood! Someone cared about him!
From that moment nothing was the same for Steve. Life at home remained the same, but life still changed. He discovered that not only could he learn, but he was good at it!
After high-school Steve joined the Navy, and he had a successful military career. During that time, he met the love of his life, he raised a family, and he graduated from a college. Later he became a professor in a nearby college
　　You see, it’s simple, really. A change took place within the heart of one boy, all because of one teacher, who cared.

One morning, a young man leading a goat lost his way due to the thick mist．Then he met a blind man and asked whether he also lost his way．The blind man said, “I cannot see anything．Therefore, the mist doesn’t affect me．I followed the path in my memory and it never goes wrong.”

Happily the young man led the goat following him forward．The blind man asked where he was going．He said he wanted to sell his goat．“Male or female? How many years have you kept it?” The young man spoke without too much thought, “A female goat of 3 years!”

The young man was still following the blind man when he was grasped the hand by the blind man．He shouted ,“Here is the police station! Go into it and elaborate on how you stole the goat!”

The young man had been a thief for a long time and admitted the goat was stolen by him．He asked the blind man puzzlingly, “But how do you know I am a thief?”

The blind man smiled, “I have been keeping goats for decades and can tell one of them is male or female as well as their age according to their voices．The goat you led just now is obviously a male goat, but you said female．The goat is simply a little more than one year old, but you said you had kept it for three years．Moreover, the goat will bleat totally differently when he is led by a stranger instead of his owner．So I can tell the goat does not belong to you!” Only then did the thief understand the whole thing with his head dropped down．

Tyler was born infected with HIV; his mother was infected. When he was 5, he had a tube surgically (adv. 如外科手术般地) inserted in a vein in his chest. This tube was    31   (connect) to a pump, which he carried in a small backpack on his back.    32   times, he also needed extra oxygen to support his breathing.
Tyler was    33   (will) to give up one single moment of his childhood in spite of this deadly disease. Those    34   knew him wondered at his pure joy in being    35  （live）and the energy it gave him. Tyler’s mother often made jokes on him by telling him that he moved so fast that she needed to dress him in red. That was, when she looked through the window to check on him playing in the yard, she could quickly find him.
In the end, he grew quite ill and    36   (fortune), so did his HIV-infected mother. When    37   became clear that he wasn’t going to survive, Tyler’s mother talked to him about death. She comforted Tyler    38  telling him that she was    39   (die), too, and that she would be with him soon in heaven.
A few days before his death, Tyler singed me to his hospital bed and whispered, “I might die soon. I’m not   40   (scare). When I die, please dress me in red. Mom promised she was coming to heaven, too. I’ll be playing when she gets there, and I want to make sure that she can find me.”

I live in a very over populated beach area in the Los Angeles, and I love the beautiful scenery! But because of many people, lots of things are easy to be out of order, and sometimes it’s also easy to lose your cool. Today was a day I wish I did not get out of bed. I mean that if I did not have to wake up and deal with all the things that I deal with on a daily basis, it would have been wonderful.
I had a cup of coffee this morning and that was my meal for breakfast, not healthy I know. Anyway, my stomach was sounding like a truck. So, I jumped in my car and decided to buy some food.
I was in line at Taco Bell (一家墨西哥速食店) and the line was like a long snake! Finally I got to place my order, but a young girl in nice clothes pulled in and was stuck in such a way that unless I moved for her, she wouldn’t be able to get out. So I backed up and waved her into my place in the front of the line.
To my surprise, this young girl did not say thanks. I was cool with it because I thought that I had done something nice for a change. After the girl received her food and pulled away, I pulled into the ordering spot, not mad, but hungry, and the employee said, “Hi, that girl just paid for your food.”
That food was the most satisfying nourishment (营养品) my body had ever taken! If just by chance you are that person who bought my food, I should say “Thank you!”
【小题1】The underlined part in the first paragraph probably means “_____”.
