  George’s father came to America alone in 1911 and raised his sons on the water fishing.George joined the US navy at 19 in 1942.One day in August 1945, he went back home on leave and stayed with his cousin Rita’s family in New York City for a few days.

  George and Rita went to a movie on the 14th of August.The show was interrupted by the announcement that Japan had surrendered and the war was over.The streets came alive with wildly happy people pouring out from every building, celebrating the VJ Day (Victory over Japan Day).They had all been waiting for.George and Rita stopped for a few drinks as they headed for the 42nd Street subway station through the wildly agitated crowd.

  As they passed through Times Square, a nurse in uniform walked along in the crowd.George took her in his arms as she passed and started to kiss her.As he did, Alfred Eisenstadt walked up and took photographs which would record the moment in American history.

  George says that he really can’t explain the kiss.Perhaps that’s because the joy and the sight of the nurse brought to mind the careful care he had received in a hospital ship during the war.

  George did not know the Kissing Sailor picture was taken until 1980 when Life Magazine asked for the sailor and the nurse to come forward in celebration of the 35th anniversary of the picture.A friend recognized George as the sailor in the photo.George contacted Life Magazine.

  Life Magazine chose to let the sailor’s identity remain a mystery until in 1994, when photo analysis expert, Richard Benson, confirmed “George Mendonsa is the sailor in Mr.Eisenstadt’s famous photograph.”

The UN Security Council has yet to  13  its position clear. But UN Secretary—General Kofi Annan ? 14 ? say that “the UN does not support a death penalty.”

  Besides  15 a trial of Saddam, the world wants to see  16  the US and Britain can find the  17  weapons they gave as the  18  for the war in Iraq. Asked if Saddam's capture (捕获) could  19  a breakthrough (突破) in the hunt for the weapons of mass destruction, British Prime Minister Tony Blair said, “I think we should  20  what we're doing in Iraq.”

  One day, my husband and I were busy going for work.Our four-year-old son, Justin Carl, had to be   1   for getting into mischief(恶作剧,淘气).My husband George told him to stand in the comer.He was very quiet   2   wasn't too happy about it.  3  , he said," I'm going to run away from home." My first   4   was surprise, and his words angered me." You   5  ?" I blurted(未加思索地冲口说出).But as I turned to look at him, he looked like an angel, with his face so   6  .He was saying so much   7   just his words.He was crying from within, "Don't you dare ignore me.Please   8   me.I'm important too.

Please make me feel   9  , unconditionally loved and needed.""Okay, Jussie, you can run away from home," and I started picking   10   clothes." Well, we'll need pajamas(睡衣), your coat…""Mama,"he.said, "what are you doing?" I   11   these items into a bag and placed them by the front door.

  "Okay, Jussie, are you sure you want to run away from home?"

  "Yeah, but where are you going?"

  "Well, if you're going,   12   Mama's going with you, because I would never want you to be   13  .I love you   14  , Justin Carl." We held each other while we talked."Why do you want to come with me?" I looked   15   his eyes."  16   I love you, Justin.My life would never be the same if you   17  ."Can Daddy come?No, Daddy has to stay home with your brothers."He thought for a while and said, "Mama, can we   18   home?

  "Mama."

On a Friday night, a poor young artist stood at the gate of the subway station, playing his violin. Many people put some money into the 21of the young man.

The next day, the young artist came again, and put his hat on the ground gracefully. 22 from the day before, he took out a large piece of  23and laid it on the ground. Then he began 24

Before long, the young violinist was  25with people, who were all attracted by the  26 on that paper, which said, "Last night, a gentleman named George Sang put something important into my hat 27. Please come to claim(认领) it soon."

After half an hour, a middle-aged man ran there in a hurry and 28hrough the crowd to the violinist and said, "Yes, it’s you. You did come here. I knew that you’re an honest man and would  29 come here."

"Are you Mr. George Sang?"

The man nodded.

"Did you  30something?"

"Lottery (彩票). It’s lottery," said the man.

The violinist  31 a lottery ticket on which George Sang’ s name was seen. "Is it?" he asked.

George nodded, seized the lottery ticket and  32 it; then he danced with joy.

George bought a lottery ticket which  33 him a prize of $ 500,000. He was so happy after work and felt the violinist playing so wonderfully that he put 50 dollars in the hat. 34 the lottery ticket was also thrown in.2

When asked why he didn’t keep the lottery ticket  35 himself, the violinist said," 36 I don’t have much money, I live happily; but if I lose honesty, I won’t be happy forever."

We can gain and lose so much in our life. But being honest should  37 be with us. If we bear ourselves in a dishonest way, we 38succeed temporarily (暂时). However, from the long-term view, we’11 be a loser. Such a person is just like the  39on the mountain. It’s high above at first, but gradually it falls and loses the 40 of going up.
