When I was in my first year of college, I felt hopeless, lonely and very depressed.     1     one such day, I was walking from class across campus to catch my bus home, head down, fighting tears of despair, when     2     old man came along the sidewalk toward me. I     3    (not see) him before. Embarrassed at being seen in such an emotional mess, I turned my head away and tried to hurry past. I thought he would walk on by, but he moved     4     he was directly in front of me, waited, and then smiled.

    5     (look) into my eyes, this stranger spoke in a quiet voice, “    6     is wrong will pass. You’re going to be OK. Just hang on.” I cannot explain the impact of that moment. He gave me one thing I had lost     7     (complete): hope. I looked for him on campus     8     (thank) him, but never saw     9     (he) again.

That was thirty years ago. I have never forgotten that moment,     10     taught me to give hope to others whenever I see them in distress (悲痛，苦恼).

It was a very cold afternoon. I was on the bus    1    my children when it started to rain.

    2    my house was only two blocks away, it was not a pleasant walk with two little children. A truck passed us.I tried     3    (get) a ride but failed. My little boy began to cry. I was convinced that things might become worse and nobody would help us on such     4    terrible day.

A few minutes later，    5    truck drove by, but to my surprise, I saw it     6    (pull) back and the driver looking directly at us.

A young man put the window down. “Hey, here’s an umbrella for you, please take     7    . ” He called out. I stood there，    8    (feel) very surprised. “Come on, give this to your mummy，” he said to my     9    (old) son. I accepted the offer and expressed my     10    (thank) to him.

This man might have needed the umbrella for himself later during the day, but he gave it to me. It was a lesson to me that it’s possible to give without expecting anything in return.

Once, there lived a poor man in a small village. He was very clever but didn’t want     1     (work) at all. He lived on     2     the villagers gave him every day. One day, he got a basket of eggs     3     a kind lady. He began to think that he would save the eggs until they were in short supply. Then he could earn a small amount of money by     4     (sell) them at a very good price. And then he would buy a couple of goats. Very soon, he would have     5     large group of goats. The goat milk would bring him much more money. With the money, he would buy a cow.     6     (it) milk would bring him a lot of money. He would become much    7     (rich): build a big house and marry a pretty woman. They would have a lot of    8     (child). While he was lost in thought,     9     (luck), he fell over a stone and all the eggs dropped onto the ground. He was very sad. That    10     (bring) an end to the man’s beautiful dream.

There were twenty-two children in Wilma Rudolph's family, and she was the    1    (twenty) child. As a little girl, Wilma had many illnesses.    2    fact, she spent most of her early childhood    3    (lie) in bed. When she was four years old, she was diagnosed (诊断) with a disease    4    can affect the muscles. Doctor said that Wilma would never walk. However, Wilma's large, caring family helped and encouraged her. Every week, her mother    5    (take) her on a long trip to a hospital for medical treatment. Suffering from the disease, Wilma herself was determined and never gave up. And    6    (final) one day she removed her wheelchair and started walking.

Wilma not only learned to walk, she also learned to run-and to run fast. She ran so fast that at the 1960 Rome Olympics Games, she became the    7    (fast) woman in the world and the first American woman    8    (win) three gold medals at one Olympics.

Wilma said that it was most important to be    9    (you) and believe in what you can do. And it is not what happens to you that matters,    10    how you respond to what happens.

I had hardly sat down on the train and opened a bar of chocolate     1     a really old man with huge bags sat down across from me. I said hello     2     him, smiling sweetly and then I suddenly thought,“Why not offer him a piece of chocolate?” So I did. He was quite     3    (surprise), but accepted and thanked me. He said that people didn’t usually do things like this for     4    (stranger)—at least that was what I understood, because he was speaking a really unusual dialect, and the train was loud.

Then he opened one of his bags and gave me     5     handful of freshly picked cherries,     6     (explain) that he had just taken them from his orchard. The cherries were really     7    (love), better than those in the shops, and I     8    (enjoy) them very much. It had been just an impulse(冲动) to offer him a piece of chocolate, but if I had not done so, I would never have tasted those lovely cherries,     9     I didn’t even know he had at the time. Life is about giving and taking, and it’s     10    (general) true that if you give, you will receive.
