1 . Walk into any bookstore, and you can _________ avoid “bumping into” Charles Dickens. From Oliver Twist to A Tale of Two Cities, many of Dickens’ works still sell well today and are placed on _________ shelves.

As someone who teaches Dickens, the question of why we still read him is often on my mind. That question, however, was never more troubling to me than when I was giving a lecture one day, nearly ten years ago. I was telling the students that his writing created a “tune-in-next-week” type of _________ among readers. Then, a hand shot up. “But why should we still read this stuff?” the student asked. The answer I gave at that time was merely _________. “Because he teaches you how to think,” I said.

The question _________ me for years, and for years I told myself answers, but never with complete satisfaction. We read Dickens because he was not just a man of his own times, but also a man for our times. We read Dickens because his _________ of the human psyche (心灵) is deep. We read Dickens because we can learn from the experiences of his characters almost as _________ as we can learn from our own experiences.

These are all wonderful reasons to read Dickens. But these are not exactly the reasons why I read Dickens.

My search for an answer _________ but never with success, until one day a text message came from a student of mine. “We still read Dickens’ novels,” she wrote, “because they tell us why we are what we are.” Simple as it was, that’s the explanation I had _________ for years.

Like most people, I knew who I was without __________ it. I was Oliver Twist, always asking for more. I was Nicholas Nickleby, __________ that my dead father was watching me from beyond the grave. I was Pip, in love with someone far beyond my __________. I was all of these __________ and I began to understand more about why I was who I was because Dickens had told me so much about human beings and human __________.

Dickens casts a light on who we are during the best of times and the worst of times. That’s why we still need to __________ him today.

4 . Before there were telephones in every home that could _________ you immediately with a loved one, there were letters.

Although a letter offers no _________ joy, handwritten correspondence (通信) was always highly _________ and favored.

5 . When Mike Mushaw joined the national bone marrow (骨髓) registry three years ago, he never really gave it a second thought.

About six months after the sign-up, Mushaw did get a call that his bone marrow _______ a patient in Virginia. Mushaw didn’t know it at the time his donation would go to a five-month-old girl named Eleanor. Neither did he know whether his donation would _______. Eleanor, sick with a rare immuno deficiency disease, had seldom left her house _______ to travel to the hospital or the doctor. Her immune system was far too weak to risk even the most _______ human contact. Her mother, Jessica, told NBC, “The _______ were to either get a transplant or face death.” Still, there was no _______ of success.

Instead, after a few weeks, the doctors came back with _______ news: Eleanor’s condition hadn’t just improved — Mushaw’s bone marrow had _______ her. Mushaw says: it was more of a _______ and happy feeling than anything.

About six months after the procedure, Eleanor’s parents sent him an e-mail to thank him for saving her life. “When I was told it was a little girl, I ________,” Mushaw says.

But their surprising ________ was only beginning. Mushaw and Eleanor FaceTime ________ to check on her progress. In August, about a year after Eleanor’s ________ transplant, Mushaw invited her family to one of his games. Tiny shouts of “Mike! Mike!” could be heard as the little girl cheered on her very own hero: a six-foot-two, 225-pound football player with a very ________ heart.

In January, Mushaw ________ with Eleanor to celebrate her birthday. Two complete strangers now have become such a big part of each other’s lives.”

7 . Amid all the poverty and desperation in Los Angeles’s Skid Row (贫民区), one couple is determined to use their own experience with loss to foster (培养) a sense of hope.

In 2012, Mary Davis and her husband, Ari Kadin were _______ their first child when Davis miscarried (流产).They were extremely _______. But the couple, who were volunteering with adults in a Skid Row homeless shelter, refused to let their heartbreak _______ them.

“In 2013, our child would have been one year old,” says Davis.” And we kept seeing these kids at the shelter, and I said to my husband, ‘We couldn’t _______ a birthday party for our child, so let’s do it for these kids.’”

Since then, the couple have held a party each and every month. They _______attract 200 kids and their parents. There are small presents for the kids celebrating their birthdays, but Davis makes sure there are more than enough to _______.

I had _______ to give her. We _______ so much suffering. I really didn’t expect a birthday party for my child.’ I had to walk away and wipe away some tears.”

Doing her best to _______these kids’ lives is both ________ and bittersweet, Davis says.” We’re on this rooftop. It’s this beautiful ________. The sky is gorgeous. You’re above everything. But if you look down, you see homeless person after homeless person on the street, and it reminds you that these kids can’t________ that area after the party.” It may be why, after throwing 88 parties, she still cries after each one.

Davis________ a second miscarriage before finally having a child-she and Kadin have two now, ages two and four. But she owes helping her ________ hope to the kids in the shelter. “We didn’t realize how much ________ they were going to bring us,” she told CBS News. “And that was so healing for me.”

9 . I’m from the Eastern Shawnee Tribe of Oklahoma, but I’ve lived in Denver for quite a few years. I have a friend that also lives in Denver who is originally from Oklahoma. We got talking about how homesick we were, and he suggested that we go spend a couple of weeks with his grandma but informed me of two things.

The first was that his grandmother might not be particularly fond of Shawnee people. This was because of a thing that had happened between our tribes in the late 1800s. The second thing was that she could be a little bit persistent about inviting people to go to church with her on Sunday.

I grew up with an Irish Catholic mother and a Shawnee father, and so I was very open to all kinds of different spiritual beliefs. Thus I promised my friend that I could be diplomatic with his grandmother if she was persistent with her invitations, and I even thought that maybe I could win her over to liking Shawnee people.

When we got inside, he introduced us. I addressed her as Miss Myrtle to show extra respect. Her greeting was polite but not particularly warm. But over the next week I took her to Tulsa to run errands (做琐碎的事情), I fixed her chicken coop, and I used all my best manners to win her over. At dinner that night she said to me, “You know, Alistair, it’s been nice having you here. Now, you know this Sunday is Mother’s Day. Of course, at my age I never know if this could be my last Mother’s Day. There’s just one thing I want. I would like you to be my special guest at church on Sunday.”

We got to the church. People walked up the center aisle and put some money into this little wooden collection box, and that bought them the privilege of inviting somebody from the congregation (集会) up to sing a “Special.” A Special, it turned out, is a solo hymn (赞美诗；圣歌). And then Miss Myrtle started up the aisle. When she reached the front, she scanned the congregation, found me, and said, “My grandson brought a friend with him from Denver. His name is Alistair, and he is from the Eastern Shawnee Tribe. But he is a very nice person. Alistair, I would like you to come up here and sing us a Special.”

I immediately began making “no” gestures and grinning. But my friend had grabbed me by the arm and was guiding me over his knees in the narrow pew. He said, “Grandma’s going to be so happy.”

And the next thing I knew, I was out in the center aisle, and it almost felt like there was some invisible force pushing me toward the front of the church. It could have been God. And I was hoping that, if it was God, when I reached the microphone, God would choose that moment to work a super-big miracle and make it so that I could sing.

The music started, and I started to sing. “Michael, row your boat ashore, alleluia. Michael, row your boat ashore ...” It was about the time I reached the second alleluia (哈利路亚的欢呼声) that I realized that was in fact the only line I remembered.

And then, finally, I stopped. The organist, who was not quite sure what was happening, continued to play, but when she realized it was finally over, she stopped in kind of an abrupt way, and then there was silence, and in that silence I walked back down the aisle. Suddenly an applause broke out and then more and more joined in. I sat back down. Miss Myrtle was on the other side of me. But once I was settled in my seat, she leaned toward me slightly and said, “I don’t believe I’ve ever met someone that didn’t know at least one hymn.” There wasn’t a whole lot I could say about that, so I was just like, “Happy Mother’s Day.”

10 . The Roll of a Lifetime

Since the age of three, Chelsie Hill had dreamed of becoming a dancer. That ambition _________ ended one night in 2010. Then a car accident left her paralyzed(瘫痪的) from the waist down.
