Today I am known for my voice. Perhaps the greatest honor came when I was asked to read The New Testament《新约全书》 on　 tape.

But it 36 a long time to believe such good things could happen to me. When I was a child, I stuttered（结巴）so badly that I was completely 37 to speak in public.

38 , when I was 14, Professor Donald Crouch came to my school. He was a retired college professor. English was his favorite subject and 39 was his deepest love. He held a book of poems as if it were a crystal(水晶), 40 pages as if uncovering treasures . When he heard that our school was teaching Shakespeare and other classics, he felt 41 for not being a part of our school sooner.

When he 42 that I not only loved poetry but was 43 it, we became closer. There was, however, one 44 between us—Professor Crouch could not stand the 45 that I refused to read my poems to the class.

I stared at him in disbelief. “Why,” I started to cry, 51 flooding me, “of course I did!” Well, then,” he said, “you’ve got to prove it by getting up and reciting it from 52 .“

By then the other students had settled at their desks. With knees shaking, I walked up to the front. For a moment I stood there, 53 . Then I began, and kept going. I recited my poem all the way 54 !

Afterwards, Professor Crouch encouraged me to read other writers’ poetry before the public. I discovered I did have a( n) 55　　　 and found my classmates actually looked forward to hearing me recite.

　　Recently I was invited to a friend’s house for supper and had a meal I’d never had before!

All the friends 　26 were a little surprised. It’s not that Ben is unsociable, or a bad cook, 　27 it’s just that he never spends more than he has to. So how come he was inviting us round for a meal? Had he bought anything 　28 for his friends? He greeted us at the 　29 and showed us into his dining-room 　30 a laid table was waiting for us. “Nothing but the best for my friends!” said Ben.

What I cooked depended on what I could find.” Mary was 　 37 . “But you can find anything in the supermarkets these days.” “But there is less choice in what you can find 　38 the supermarkets,” he replied.

　　　 39 that we had all finished the food, Ben decided to tell the 　40 . He had read recently that supermarkets usually 　41 away 5 percent of their food every day. So Ben decided to look inside his local supermarket bins. There he found food that was slightly out of 　42 , boxes of thrown-away vegetables and fruit.

　　　 So Ben had successfully provided a 　43 for his friends, and made us 　44 the fact that there are many people who need the food, but the amount of food thrown away is enough to 　45 millions of people.
