But halfway down the street, she realized that her best friend, Simmons, wasn’t with them. Norwood ran back to the car and saw Simmons in the back seat, unconscious.

One moment Jones was watching Eric play around with the other children at this _________ of moms and kids last July. The next moment he disappeared without a _________. She turned to her friend Machel Rawlings and asked, “Have you seen Eric?”

Rawlings stood, _________ the pool and suddenly screamed. Eric was found _________ face down in the deep end.

Many elderly people have no one to ______ them and love them. When I say this, I am talking about pure love—______ love for the elderly people that exemplifies(是...的典型) the perfect kindness and ______ no matter what the circumstances may be.

The elderly have ______ the pathway to success for my generation. They should have been shown appreciation and respect but are often ______. Generally, we seldom pay much attention to their previous effort. The elderly are such an extraordinary group of people, and their wisdom can ______ be learned. They are worthy of the best. Therefore, I launched the organization and decided to make a change.

7 . Your first day anywhere can be tough. As a supply teacher, I had one such experience when I was ______to work at a special education school.

When I received the call asking if I was available that day, a wave of _______rushed over me. I'd never taught in a special school before, but I _______pulled myself together and drove to the school. On the way there, I had _______about everything I couldn't do.

As I ______, I was greeted by the head who _______me there was “nothing to worry about”, but I was feeling anything but! I was told I would teach key stage 1.

_______by their parents, the children began to show up. I tried to _______my anxious feelings, although a few drops of ______ were noticeable.

The whole class, a total of 8 with various special needs, arrived by 9: 30. Contrary to my _______, as the day went on, my _______levels went down. The children were expressive, unique and passionate, though there were times that left me slightly _______by their screams.

8 . I still remember my kindergarten teacher Mrs White. I don’t remember much about what we learned in her class, but my mother once told me that we used to _________ a lot. I would bring back what I wrote and she would look at it and _________ many mistakes. But no red _________ . And always a star. Sometimes even a Good! That would fill my heart with_________ . But it _________ my mother, so one day she asked Mrs White why she never pointed out my spelling or grammatical errors. Mrs White explained, “The children are just beginning to get excited about using words. I don’t want to weaken that _________ with red ink. Spelling and grammar can_________. The wonder of words won't.”

It _________ me that if Mrs White had used her red pen more_________I probably wouldn't be telling you about this now. I look back now and think she must have been a rather__________teacher—to exercise such red-pen-restraint(克制); to allow the joy, wonder and excitement of expression—however__________ the expression is. Because to bloom is better than not to bloom.

I used to misspell “ beautiful” a lot. Never could I quite remember that the “ e” went before the “a”. Eventually the e’s and a’s __________ into their right places. I’m glad I didn't wait on them, though. Pretty is easier to spell but it doesn’t __________ as much as you mean sometimes. And __________ Mrs White I didn’t hesitate to write what I meant __________I couldn't quite spell it out. Because Life isn't Pretty. It’s Beautiful.

9 . When my daughter was very young, she broke my favorite cup. She was moving it aside, and it slipped from her hand and broke on the floor. I loved that cup and was really_________, but of course I didn’t_________her. It was an accident. She didn't mean to drop it. Intentions matter. Or do they?

I can’t help but feel that our modern world doesn’t care for intentions. We are all so ready to find_________with another person and so concerned with our own_________that we don't consider the intentions of others.

There are endless opportunities to be_________these days in the celebrity news cycle, in politics and in our own interpersonal interactions. Every single day, someone is_________on social media for something they have said or done.

A friend of mine says, “It’s not how the message is intended; it’s how it’s received.” He means that we need to be careful when considering our words because they can_________be misinterpreted by the person we are_________.

We all at times express ourselves_________, make errors of__________or have a moment of carelessness when we say the wrong thing. All of us have__________someone at some point in our lives. The Internet is full of people seeking to make things worse. But there are also many decent people who occasionally get things__________or simply do not know better.

I get that there is much to be angry about. The world is full of__________. The actions and words of other people can cause harm; __________, the actions and words of other people matter.

But intention has to matter, too, for us to make sense of the world, and for us to effect change. Understanding intentions can help us to feel better about our fellow humans. When we appreciate intent(意图), it can help to lessen the__________of their message.

As _________ rose from the car, a bystander shouted, “It’s about to explode!” Shaken, but OK, she _________ herself through the window and ran for her life with two of her friends.

But halfway down the street, she _________ that her best friend, Simmons, wasn’t together. Norwood ran back and found Simmons in the back seat and not _________.
