I will never forget the two impressive things that happened last winter．One of my classmates and I were 1 our project work late at night on my university's campus far from home．Since there was 2 in the forecast, I had worn a winter 3 to school that day with a raincoat in my bag．
Throughout our work on the project, I could 4 that my friend was tired from a very long day working．As we stepped outside to begin the 5 walk home, I 6 she was shivering(颤抖)．The temperature had dropped to the low thirties(Fahrenheit)and she 7 had a sweater on．I 8 offered her my warm jacket．She accepted it and asked me what I 9 wear then．I told her I had another one and pretended that my 10 was a jacket．She said later that she 11 the next morning and the first thing on her mind was feeling moved about my 12 of the jacket．
Coincidentally(碰巧), the next day I went to an open-air play and I was freezing 13 I didn’t expect it to be so 14 ．A person who I hardly 15 insisted that I wear his jacket．I was 16 touched by this warm gesture．He was so matter-of-fact(讲究实际的)about me 17 his coat, too：he simply took it off and handed it to me telling me that I should 18 it．I used to think that this vast universe was a cold 19 ．It turns out that even when the temperature drops low, the people never 20 to warm each other's hearts．
Even though he has been caught, the former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein is still causing trouble．His arrest 1 as many questions as it has answers．Top of the list is 2 should happen to Saddam now, closely 3 by calls for information from him about Iraq's weapons of mass destruction．
He is currently being held by 4 troops at a secret place．The US says he will stand trial for his cruel actions during his years in 5 ．This is likely to take place at a court 6 two weeks ago by the US-backed Iraqi Governing Council．The council's president Abdul Aziz al-hakim has warned Saddam could be executed(处死)if 7 guilty(有罪的)by the court．And the US 8 this．
“I think he ought to receive the 9 punishment for what he has done to people, ” said US president George W．Bush, 10 directly stating that Saddam should be put to death．
However, many 11 , including Saddam's long time enemy Iran, believe he would receive a fairer trial in an international court． 12 Britain, American's closest supporter, said it would not take part in any trial that could lead to Saddam's execution．
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 waiting for a trial of Saddam, the world wants to see 15 the US and Britain can find the 16 weapons they gave as the 17 for the war in Iraq．Asked if Saddam's capture(捕获)could 18 a breakthrough(突破)in the hunt for the weapons of mass destruction, British Prime Minister Tony Blair said, “ 19 obviously that possibility there．But I think we should 20 what we're doing in Iraq．”

When they were 7 a nursing home, the young woman saw an old granny sitting in a chair．She had no children with her．They 8 the car and the young woman walked to the old woman, put the 9 in her hands, and smiled at her．The old granny 10 her again and again．She smiled happily, too．
11 the young mother came back to her car, her 12 asked her, “Who is that old granny?” “Why did you give our flowers to her?”
“I don’t know her,” their mother said．“But it’s Mother’s Day, and she has no children．I have all of you, and I 13 have my mother．Just think how much those flowers 14 to her．”
Hearing 15 their mother said, all the children were greatly 16 ．
