When my three children were young, my husband Roy and I were very   【小题1】 . “Can we go on a picnic, Mom?” my six-year-old daughter, Becky   【小题2】 . “Please.” I had said no so many times in   【小题3】  months, and I decided the usual Saturday morning chores (日常工作) could    【小题4】  .

As I walked out of the room it dawned on me that even the busiest   【小题15】  could become a picnic when it’s shared with the ones you   【小题16】 . Even though the kids have now grown up and   【小题17】   from home, I can still remember how I felt that day while sitting at the picnic table.
Maybe today would be a good time to   【小题18】  potato salad, call all of my   【小题19】  kids, feed some hungry ducks and skip a few rocks into the lake. Since life is like potato salad, let’s make it a   【小题20】 .

From the spectators’ point of view,last year’s basketball  37  for my high school team was nothing  38  of an embarrassment.And  39  0 and 20 is certainly nothing to be proud of,that season had a bigger impact on me than any other.As a team captain,I knew it probably wouldn’t be the  40  year,but did I ever think we would lose every game?Of course not.Since six of our top players had graduated,it was clear that we were a (n)  41  team who would struggle.The struggle began earlier than expected,  42 ,as our team center was suspended (禁赛) for the season,and two key members decided to  43  for some reason.At this point,dropping out probably passed through every player’s mind,but in the end,we all stuck it out,  44  to work still harder.
Then there came a time when even our    45     had given up on us.Personally,I felt like it was  46  worthwhile giving my all.I thought,if even the coach doesn’t believe in us,why should I?But just as my hope began to  47 ,a teammate called a meeting.He said,“Nobody thinks we are going to win,but,as teammates and friends,we  48  it to each other to go all out every game.”
It was that moment that  49  me how to be a leader.It hit me that I certainly didn’t  50  the role.As a leader you can never quit  51  the team who looks up to you.It is one  52  to be named captain,feel great and go through the motions,but it is quite another to be a real captain and make sure everyone realizes their full  53  all the time.
I am sure it is great to go through without losing and bringing home awards.But in all honesty,I  54  the fact that my team lost every game last year.It may not help me to become a better basketball player,but it already has made me a better leader,and  55 .

On April 11 Lincoln, Mrs Lincoln and two friends were spending night in talk, when Lincoln suddenly began to discuss his dreams. “I had one the other night. About 10 days ago I went to bed very  36 . I had been up   37  for important letters from the White House for a long time. I could not have been   38  in bed when I fell into sleep. I soon began to   39  . There seemed to be a dead silence about me. Then I heard sobs(抽泣),  40  a number of people were weeping. I thought I left my bed and   41  downstairs. There the silence was broken by some pitiful(令人可怜的) sobbing, but the mourners(送葬者)were   42 .I went from room to room, no living person was in sight; but the same mournful sounds of distress(悲痛) met me as I   43 along. It was light in all the rooms;  44  was well known to me,but   45 were all the people who were sobbing as if their hearts would   46 ? I was puzzled and frightened. What could be the   47  of all this? I kept on walking until I arrived at the East Room, which I   48 . Before me was a dead body. Around it were soldiers who were acting as   49 ; there were some people   50  pitifully. ‘‘Who is dead in the White House?” I asked.
“The president,” was the answer.
“It’s   51 !”I said to myself and was surprised. How did he die?”
“He was killed by an assassinator (暗杀者)!” was the answer.
  52  came a loud burst of crying from the crowd,which woke me from my dream. I slept   53 that night, and although it was  54  a dream I have been rather angry about it   55 .”
