Jane's mother worked on the farm from dawn till dark, which just could make ends meet．To make Jane live a 1 life, Mother was very careful about spending money．2 , Jane didn't understand her．Every day Mother was busy with her 3 while Jane was studying at school, so they had little time to enjoy themselves．
One day, Mother realized Jane was unhappy and even 4 to her, so she decided to go 5 with Jane to make Jane happy．
On Sunday morning they went happily to the snowfield．Since they were 6 in white clothes, the manager advised them to buy ski clothes．He said 7 there was an accident, they might be easily 8 in their ski clothes．Mother couldn't 9 them, so she refused．
Then they went skiing in their white clothes．They were skiing happily on the 10 when suddenly the snowfield began to 11 ．It was the snowslide(雪崩)．They ran a long way and 12 the snowslide finally, but they couldn't find their way．Later, a helicopter(直升机)was flying above, 13 people on it couldn't see or hear them．Jane was 14 because she had hurt her head seriously and 15 dropped on the snow．Just then an idea struck Mother．She cut her wrist(手腕) 16 and then bright red blood dropped down on the snowfield．A red SOS was on the snow．At last Jane 17 , but Mother died．
Every time I 18 the blood dropping onto the snowfield, I feel 19 , I believe anyone who hears the tragedy will 20 Mother for her selfless love to her daughter．
It was Friday－the most tiring day of a teacher's week．As I was going to dismiss the class, Jan, who sat behind Bill suddenly shouted,“Teacher, Bill took my dime(=10 cents)．It was 1 here by my ink bottle when I went to sharpen my pencil and now it is 2 ”
Bill only dropped his head 3 ．
The dime had 4 been there．I had seen it．And Bill was the only one who had been 5 Jan's desk．
By now the children were quiet, obviously waiting for me to 6 action．Perhaps I hadn't slept well the night before; or perhaps it was the expectation in the children's eye． 7 , I lost my control．I scolded Bill for being 8 ．
“Give Jan her dime,”I ordered．Bill didn't say a word in 9 ．
“Stand up!”he stood beside his seat．
“Now turn all your 10 inside out and take off your shoes!”He did so, 11 to cover one foot with the other to 12 the holes in his socks．But there was no dime．
“ 13 your desk!”I ordered．Patiently he did so．The dime wasn't there either．He returned the books and papers to his desk without a word．Then he 14 his face in his arms．Immediately I 15 my mistakes．I, the person who could defend him, had failed him．
It was very late that afternoon 16 one of the boys went to the front of the room to sharpen his pencil．“Hey!”he cried,“Here's Jan's dime on the board ledge．She must have put it here when she sharpened her pencil．”
I felt heartsick．I went to Bill, and 17 him into my arms．“I'm so sorry, Bill．I had no 18 to scold you．Will you pardon me?”
Slowly he raised his eyes to 19 ．There were no tears but the 20 in his eyes branded(印在)my heart forever．
