When we are unfamiliar with something, we may feel nervous and fearful. The help of others is a good 31 to help us pull through.
I write for a big newspaper, and I wanted to 32 a story about parachute jumping（跳伞）. To make it a realistic as well as exciting 33 , I decided that I had to make a jump myself 34 . Unluckily, I’m not good at any 35 , let alone（更不用说）parachute jumping.
My friend Mr. Smith was willing to give me a 36 . He took me to a ground school. The first day’s 37 included several hours of instruction but not my first drop from a(n) 38 . For this, I had to wait until the following 39 .
The next morning, I was taken to the airfield. 40 , a heavy parachute was put on my back. Then I was 41 to make my way to a small plane which had just stopped slowly on the runway. Once on board, the plane was soon 42 . I began to feel nervous. As we reached one thousand meters, Harry, my teacher, hooked（钩）a 43 from my parachute to a steel ring inside the plane. The line was to pull my parachute 44 after I jumped.
“Get 45 , Henry,” Harry said. I moved carefully to the door. I wanted to 46 , “NO, no, no!” But no word came.
“Jump!” Harry called 47 . “Jump!”
Away from the plane, and down, down I fell, arms stretched. It worked. All at once I was very happy. Then I felt a quick 48 . My big parachute had opened! It was the best 49 I ever had. I looked down. There were rivers, trees, fields and houses. I heard the soft sound of the air. This was 50 .

查看习题详情和答案>>It was 4 o’ clock in the morning when I received the phone call.
“This is the emergency room calling and your son was just 31 in with severe burns on his face, neck and arms. We have called for a (n) 32 and are going to fly him to the burn unit in Seattle.” Seattle was 350 miles from his college, so we knew immediately this was 33 .
The doctor described the 34 , which caused the burns. Our son and his friends decided to barbecue hamburgers in the courtyard of their apartment. When they 35 the charcoal(木炭), it burst into flames because they had sprayed too much gasoline(petrol). The flames 36 my son’s shirt tail(下摆) and shot from his waist to well over his head.
37 , one of the boys was quick-minded, grasped(抓住) my son, and 38 him on the grass. While it saved his life, it was not in 39 to save him from severe burns and the terrible scars(伤疤).
After he 40 from the treatments, the doctors told him they would not do plastic surgery(整容) for 6 months 41 it takes that long for the skin to stop shrinking(缩水) and wrinkling(起皱). So, he had to return to college with scars typical of severe burns.
When I was a child, my mother told my sister, who had a 10-inch, very 42 scar on her arm, “Nancy, if you ignore the scar, other people will ignore it. It does not mean they will not 43 it, but it means it will not matter to them if it doesn’t matter to you.”
I 44 this wisdom on to my son. He took my advice to his 45 and returned to school with his head held high——glad he was alive.
By the end of the six-month waiting period, he decided that the scars did not 46 , so he made the 47 to give up any plastic surgery.
We all have “scars” that we believe 48 people to keep away from us. And we spend a lot of time thinking that if only we looked differently, or dressed differently, people would like us better.
But you see, people will only judge you by your looks, or your clothes, if you are judging yourself by these same 49 standards. Put your imperfections out of your mind and concentrate on what you value 50 yourself, and your beauty will shine through.

It happens every day, everywhere I go. At the supermarket and the post office, people keep telling me to enjoy my kids while they are 31 . I spend my days taking care of them and answering 32 questions about everything from why we have two eyes but one nose to 33 there are toilets in the heaven. They 34 me from eating a full meal or getting a full 35 sleep.
Yet, the other day, when I took my kids to a children’s museum, I began to 36 what people were trying to tell me. It was the 37 time we went there without diaper (尿布) bag, baby bottle or stroller (婴儿车). As I watched my sons paint there, I was suddenly 38 by a wave of 39 . My babies weren’t babies any more.
Now I’m paying more attention to the 40 that won’t happen when my kids are 41 .
I’m enjoying when Christ looked up the sky and cried 42 , “Wow! The moon!” In a few 43 , it will take a rare Shrek card or something else to get him that excited. I’m 44 when Nicholas put down his fork at dinner and asked, “Mommy, how are you doing?” About ten years from now , he 45__ not care. When they’re in primary school, they won’t want to hold my 46 any more. In junior high school, they won’t hug me and say, “I love you, too.” In high school, they won’t even want to be 47 with me.
Pretty 48 they’ll both be gone. And I’ll 49 through the supermarket and the post office alone, warning young 50 to enjoy their kids while they are little. Hope they’ll listen.
