In order to make his life happy and     5     (satisfy), Marty keeps busy doing things that do not require physical strength. He has friends with     6     he can go to movies and football matches and he has lots of pets. He used to dream of one day being a famous football player and     7    (represent) his country in the World Cup. Even when he is made fun of, he doesn’t get     8     (annoy). Disabled     9    he is, Marty has become stronger and more independent. He never feels sorry for himself and he enjoys as rich and full a life as everyone else.

【推荐2】About six years ago I was having lunch in New York City    1    a woman and a young boy sat down at the next table.I couldn't help    2    (overhear) parts of their conversation.At one point the woman asked,"So,how have you been?"And the boy who could not have been more than seven or eight years old replied."    3    (frank),I've been feeling a little depressed lately."

This incident    4    (impress) me most because it confirmed my growing    5    (believe) that children are changing. As far as I can remember,my friends and I didn't find out we were "depressed"    6    we were in high school.

Undoubtedly,    7    change in children has increased steadily in recent years.Children don't seem childlike any more.Children speak,dress and behave more like adults    8    they used to.

    9    this is good or bad is difficult to say,but it certainly is different.Childhood as it once was no longer    10     (exist).

I happened to face loneliness and difficulties    1    made me dull for a while. During this time, when anyone    2    (approach) me, respected me or supported me in the smallest way, I noticed it and felt grateful. I had taken small gestures like    3     (be) welcomed, thought-of or included for granted. However, during this emotional stage, I noticed each of these and was modest, simple and    4    (thank) to others.

I had built walls around myself and was keeping my distance (having dutiful relations, not friendly connections) with a few people (this even included family members) because    5    holding small hatred against them. During this trying stage, when they were kind in little ways, I noticed it and was able to acknowledge and accept it. I realize some of these    6    (wall) were either shaken or partly broken. Now, if these same people are able to interact with me, invite me or call me freely, as    7    friendly connection, I notice the difference in quality and feel happy about it.

Sometimes, it takes adversaries (对手)    8    (create) holes in walls, through which light can enter. The universe is so generously giving that every dark cloud has at least one silver lining. My faith is restored: There    9    (be) always light at the end of the tunnel! Every action matters    10    (huge).
