Subject: The Riding for the Disabled Association
Hi Christine,
Sorry I haven’t emailed lately —I’ve been very busy since becoming a volunteer for the Riding for the Disabled Association.
Every Saturday, I help to get the horses ______51_____ for the disabled(残疾) riders. Many more disabled people want to ride _____52______ than you’d imagine. It’s a disadvantage that I don’t know how to ride —I’d love to get on long rides with the riders— but I’ll learn _______53____. Right now, I’m just happy to be able to lead the horses around for the disabled riders.
I’m ______54_____ helping to organize a sale, which will be _____55______ next month. It’s a lot more work than helping the disabled. I need to collect second-hand things to sell at the sale. There are _____56______ things available(获得的) than I thought, but I’m sure we’ll have ______57_____ next month.
I hope the sale raises more money than last month’s walk. It was rainy, so too few people took part in the event. Last week, we held an auction(拍卖). The auction took much less _____58______ to organize than the walk. _____59______, for some reason, people offered too little money for the things, so we didn’t raise enough money.
I’m ______60_____ you some pictures in the letter, as well as a speech I gave last week. Robin

We were inseparable, he and I, and there was 4 when it seemed nothing could tear us apart. And then one day, it all began to change. Slowly and 5 he turned away from it all. He stopped reading comics and watching movies, and we grew further and further apart. He sacrificed his identity 6 a darker future. He became involved with drugs, and I watched 7 , over a period of about a year, he changed from a creative, straight-A student to someone who was 8 all his classes from skipping too much school. All the while, I could do 9 but ignore the fact that I was losing my friend. I realized after the fact that I had 10 him slip away. I trusted he would find his own way back and pull through it 11 . I abandoned him when my help could have made all the 12 . I realize now that one can't always expect things to 13 all right. Unless we take action and shape our present, we must accept 14 future we arrive at. Perhaps if I had spoken out and forced him to realize where he was headed, he 15 to change paths. But I also realize that I wouldn't 16 what happened to him to happen to me, and it's scary to think how easily it could have. Looking back, I'm 17 to learn from his mistakes. The 18 thing I want is to abandon who I am. My identity makes me happy. I look at myself and 19 makes me appreciate life. I have 20 in myself in individuality, and the last thing I want is to serve as a scary reminder to someone else. | |||

| Every few months, thousands upon thousands of people choose to leave work, skip school, and come together to celebrate... The people come in all 1 and sizes throughout the world. What do they 2 ? It doesn't matter. The description above is related to 3 and celebrations all over the world; indeed, it may be a universal way of looking at almost any celebration. Though the number of people joining in may 4 , the spirit of the event is 5 to stay the same. The reason is that we 6 countless hours celebrating birthdays and other special days to build 7 between one another. Holidays and celebrations bring people 8 . When people celebrate something, they ignore prejudice and 9 their shyness; celebrations bring people together 10 of who those people are. 11 on serious occasions where we remember past tragedies or the 12 of a loved one, friends and family-and sometimes even strangers -- come together to remember and 13 one another. Different celebrations involve different emotions (情感) and qualities, from 14 to dancing. The important thing is not that we are throwing a party, but rather that we are coming together as one 15 and one world, to celebrate together. Even in ancient 16 , celebrations were used to bring people together. The Ancient Greeks had the Olympics, which helped bring 17 among warring countries and states. The Greeks actually laid down all of their arms during the games! In an ancient era (纪元) where war was extremely common, it is 18 to see the power that the Olympics had on warring parties! Indeed, such is the case today as well. All such holidays make us forget the troubles we 19 and allow us to be happy and experience the peace that is required to improve and help the world.
