I was walking down the road one day when my cell phone rang.  26  voice on the other end spoke to me, “Dad, please come back soon. I miss you so much!” I judged that it was a wrong  number. A little while later, the call came once again, so I rudely  27 , “You’ve dialed the wrong number!” and then hung up.

During the following days, I got the same call  28 . But I didn’t care much about it.

    Then one day she constantly called me, though I didn’t answer. Finally I answered the phone and heard a weak voice, “Dad, please come back. I miss you so much! Dad, I’m  29  so much pain! Mom said you were too busy to take  30  of me. But, dad, please  31  me again, OK?” The innocent (天真的, 无邪的)  32  was difficult to reject（拒绝）. I made a  33  kiss on the phone and heard the weak voice say, “Thank you…Dad, I am so…happy, so…happy…”

    Shortly after this, I became  34  about who had been on the other end of my phone. So I called back, and a woman answered, “Sorry, sir. I am really sorry to have  35  you. My daughter has suffered from bone cancer  36  she was born. And her father…died in an  37  a short while ago. I dare not tell her this  38 . Poor baby. When she couldn’t stand the painful chemotherapy (化疗), she would cry for her dad, who had always  39  her. I really couldn’t bear it, so I gave her a random (随意的) phone number…”

    “How is your daughter now?” I couldn’t wait to  40 .

    “She has passed away. You must have kissed her on the phone, because she went with a smile, tightly holding the cell phone…”

Tears blurred my eyes….

months that followed, Sudha met a doctor who developed an artificial（人造的）  24  made from rubber filled with sponge（海绵）. So  25  she wanted to go back to  26  after she had been fitted with an artificial leg. Sudha knew that she believed in  27  and could realize her dream,   

28  she began her courageous journey back to the world of dancing —  29  to balance, bend, stretch, walk, turn, twist and twirl.

Sudha’s comeback（恢复，复原）was  37  moving an event that a film producer  38  to make the story into a hit film.

When someone asked Sudha how she had  39  to dance again, she said quite simply, “YOU DON’T NEED FEET TO DANCE.”  40  is impossible in this world. If you have the will to win, you can achieve anything.

It was the last day of the final examination in a large eastern university. On the steps of one building, a group of students were talking about the exam that was going to begin in a few   41  .On their faces was confidence（信心）.This was their   42   exam—then they would graduate and begin to work.

Some talked of jobs they already had, others talked of jobs they   43  get. With the certainty of four years of college, they felt 44  and able to take control（控制）of the world.

The coming exam, they knew, would be a(n)   45  task, as the professor had said they could bring  46  books or notes they wanted, requesting only that they did not  47  each other during the test.

  48  they entered the classroom. The professor passed out the papers. And smiles  49  on the students’ faces as they found there were only five questions.

Three hours had passed 50 the professor began to collect papers. The students no longer looked confident. On their faces was a frightened expression. Papers in hand, no one spoke as the professor faced the class.

He looked at the  51  faces before him, and then asked: “How many completed all five questions?”   52  a hand was raised.

“How many answered four?” Still no hand.

“Three? Two?” The students moved restlessly in their seats.

“One, then? Certainly somebody finished  53  .” But the class remained silent.

The professor put down the papers. “That is exactly what I   54  ,” he said. “I just want you to know that, although you have completed four years of study, there are 55  many things about the   56  you don’t know. These questions you could not answer are relatively common（普遍）in everyday  57  .” Then, smiling, he added, “You will all  58  this course, but remember—even though you are now college graduates, your education had just  59  .”

The years have weakened the name of the professor, but not the  60 he taught.

Many Chinese students who have learnt English for more than ten years are still unable to speak English very well when they meet a foreigner. They seem to have mastered the basic language structure(结构), but a conversation in English will make them feel uneasy. They are afraid that other people might find out their mistakes.

    It's uncommon that many students who are bad speakers of English can write English perfectly. This proves that they are unable to organize their idea in English. The center of the problem is that they lack practice and confidence ( 自信).
