I was waiting for a phone call from my agent (代理人),     1     had left a message the night before, which told me that my show was to be cancelled (取消). I called him several times, but each time his secretary told me that he was at a meeting and that he     2     (call) me soon. Three hours passing by, I became more and more impatient. I was certain that my agent didn’t care about my research, which was about an     3     (innovate) in information technology. I started to shout at the phone, “Let me wait, will you? Who do you think you are?”

Without showing her surprise, my wife rushed in, seized the phone, tore off the wires, and shouted at the phone, “Yeah! Who do you think you are? Bad telephone!” And she swept it into the wastebasket.

She stepped to the doorway and shouted at the wall of the house, “Now hear this! All objects in this room —if you do anything that upsets my husband, out you go!” I couldn’t help get a load     4     her.

Then she turned to me, kissed me and said calmly, “Honey, it is     5     (essence) for you to learn how to take control. I am to     6     (pick) our child up from the school.” With that, she left the room.

After watching a crazy woman rushing in and out, shouting at everything in sight, it is amazing that something in my mood had changed. I felt so     7     (embarrass) and I was willing to accept her blame. I was intensely aware of her purpose. Her actions     8     words did the trick. I admitted not     9     (deal) with the case     10     (proper). Her unusual actions helped me realize I had been driven crazy by small things. Twenty minutes later my agent did call eventually.

When the child     1     (leave) home alone with an older brother, everything was fine at first. But not long after that, the baby got angry and wandered away from home. When his parents came back, they found their baby     2     (go). The parents were so worried about their baby and his     3     (safe) that they had to turn to their families and neighbors for help. They immediately set out     4     (look) for the missing child everywhere,     5     failed to find anything.

Eventually, the family called for help from the police     6     arrived with a search and rescue dog named Luke to look     7     the child. Luke managed to catch a scent, and led rescuers into the jungle and straight to the child within twenty-five     8     (minute). Rescuers found the scared child     9     (stand) in some bushes in the jungle, so they immediately picked the toddler up and rushed back to the worried family.     10     (thankful), Luke managed to find the toddler before he suffered any serious injuries.
