【推荐1】Alan was a fifteen-year-old boy with his little sister, Lana. Their parents had passed away long ago. Alan took care of Lana by     1     (he).

One day, Alan woke up at three in the morning as usual. When Lana was sleeping alone, Alan left     2     (they) little house to deliver newspapers. As he did so, he found     3    （冠词）old man sleeping in front of his house. Alan was so     4     (surprise) that he stopped to look at him closely.

It was an icy morning and the poor old man didn't have     5     (something) to cover himself with. Alan went into his house to get the old man a blanket. However, there were no extra blankets, so Alan took his     6     (father) coat. It was the only thing that his father had left. Alan wrote a short note. "Sir! This is my father's coat. I hope it     7     (fit) you well." He put the note in a pocket of the coat,     8    （连词）covered the old man with it. Then he went to work.

That afternoon, Alan hurried home after school because Lana was at home alone. However, when Alan got home, Lana and the old man were standing in front of the house, and Lana shouted     9    （介词）Alan, "Brother! He's our grandfather!"

The grandfather smiled and said, "Alan, I have looked for you all around the country for 8 years. I'm not very rich. But I will take care of you two from now on. Thank you for     10     (give) me the coat and letting me know how good my grandson is. This coat was the one that I gave my son a long time ago!"

Once there was a boy who lived alone with his father. The boy loved American football very much, but he couldn’t take part in the games because he was half the size of other boys. At all the games, this hopeful boy sat beside the football field and     1     played.

The boy was always beside the football field, but his father always stood next to him and never     2     a game. All through in high school he was still an audience. His father always encouraged(鼓励)him.

When the boy went to junior high school, the American football teacher kept him on the school team because he always practiced hard and provided(提供) the other team members with high spirits(精神). But, he never got to play in a game.

It was the     3     of his last American football season. His father died that morning and the teacher allowed(允许) him to take a rest. The following Saturday, the boy came back and wanted to play in the game. The teacher and the players could not believe their eyes. He ran and passed     4     a star. In the closing seconds of the game, he ran all the way for the winning touchdown.

He told the teacher with tears(泪水) in his eyes, “Well, you knew my dad died, but did you know that my dad was blind(失明的)? Dad came to     5     our games in the past, but today was the first time I could play, and I wanted to show him I could do it!”

It is the father’s love for his son that helps the son succeed(成功).
