It was Sunday . I had the last        to see and I got into her room . She was an old woman , sitting on the bed , trying to       her socks . Usually I said something like this : “How are you feeling ? The nurse says your son is visiting you today. I believe you are         seeing him.”
She       me with a serious voice , “Sit down , doctor . This is my story , not yours .”
I was surprised and        . I sat down a     helped her with the socks . She began to tell me that her only son lived not far from her ,          she had not seen him for five years . She believed her health problems were worse because of          her son . After hearing her story and helping her put on her socks , I asked if there was         I could do for her . She       her head and smiled . All she wanted me to do was to       .
Each story is         . Some are clear; others are not. Some are true; others are not , yet all those things do not really       . What matters to the storyteller is that the story is heard .
Listening to someone’s story costs nothing but it is the key to healing (康复). I often      what the woman taught me , and I        myself of the importance of stopping , sitting down and truly listening . I        the power of listening .

The United States and Great Britain took the war on Iraq (伊拉克) in late March, 2003.    over twenty days American soldiers were in Baghdad (巴格达市), the     of Iraq. They ended the government (政府) of Saddam.         Iraqis died in the war. Saddam was         at first. No one knew      he’s dead or alive.
In some parts of the city there was no light because of the war. Some oil wells (油井) were set on fire. Now the Iraqis need food, water and     . Many soldiers and people who were hurt in the war need medical care. People also need          to find their family members.
After the war, some Iraqis broke into Saddam’s palace, government buildings, and stores. They      many things from Iraqi Museums. Many Iraqis are angry that the U.S. soldiers didn’t stop the robbers (抢劫者). So far there is  no government of Iraqis.
The reason for American soldiers taking the war is that they are    weapons of mess destruction (大规模杀伤性武器). But by June 6th, 2003 they hadn’t found any at all.

It was the golden season. I could see the      leaves falling with the cool wind. For others, it is a harvest season, while for me, it is a（n））     season. I was    for the Postgraduate Entrance Examination. But so many unhappy things made me so tired, so I decided to have a walk along the Yanjiang Road in my university.
“Autumn is a lonely season and life is uninteresting. The days in this season always get me     ”, I thought when the sound of a guitar flowed into my ears, like a stream flowing from the mountains. A young girl, sitting on the lawn, was lost in playing her guitar. She was a beautiful girl,    when the wind blew her long hair. I had never seen her before. The music was so attractive that I listened quietly.
Lost in the music, I did not       that I had been standing for so long. But my existence(存在) did not seem to disturb her. Leaves were still falling. Every day when I passed by the lawn, I would see her playing her guitar. She was the only     and I was the only audience. During the rest of the days in the season, life became     and I could review the courses carefully.
Autumn was    over. One day, when I was listening devotedly, the sound suddenly stopped. To my surprise, the girl came over to me.
“You     like the music,” she said.
　“Yes, you play very well. Why did you stop?” I asked.
Suddenly, a  11expression appeared on her face.
　“I came here just to have a rest because I    in the college entrance examination. I felt very disappointed. And it was your listening every day that     me,” she said, “and I have to go tomorrow.”
“In fact, it was your playing that gave me a 1autumn and helped me believe that I have the ability to pass the Postgraduate Entrance Examination.” I answered, “I think it was God who gave us the     to know each other and we should be good friends.”
She smiled and I smiled in that beautiful autumn..

All over the world, people have all kinds of friends. Dogs are people’s honest friends. Cats, elephants, camels, horses, cows are people’s helpful and useful friends. But do you think that computers are people’s friends, too？Now let me tell you        about it.
We live in the “computer age”. People, like scientists, teachers, writers and even students, use computers to do    work. But more than 30 years ago,      couldn’t do much work. They were very big and expensive. Very       people were interested in them and knew how to use them. Today computers are smaller and            . And they can do a lot of work. Many people like to use them.      people have them at home.
Computers become very important because they can work       than men and make fewer mistakes. Computers can       people do a lot of work. Writers now use computers to write. Teachers use them to help teaching. Students use them        and children use them to play games. Computers can also remember what you put into them. Computers are very        and helpful. It is true that they are our good friends. Do you think so?

I have a wonderful friend. Her name is Emily. We have been friends ever since kindergarten. Last year, Emily started to     my things all the time. I     lent (借出) her what she asked for because I wanted to be nice.    then I noticed that she was not always returning the things she had borrowed!
One day I asked Emily to give my things back. She said that she    remember what she had borrowed. I made a list and gave it to   5. The next day she brought back only one thing. It was a dirty T-shirt.
The next time I went to Emily’s house. I saw that her room was very untidy. I asked her      we could look for my things together.
“I know they’re here    ,” she said.
Emily and I played some music on the computer and sang while we worked. The     lost thing that I discovered was my purple hat. It was under a pile of clothes in a chair. We kept finding     things.
Emily has stopped borrowing things. Also, she is trying to keep her room     . I hope she can do it all the time.
