1 . When I was 8, a gentleman came to my orphanage（孤儿院）and taught us how to do woodworking projects.

I remember my first project—a small table. I was so _______ of it that I looked upon it as if I had created a(an) _______ . It was absolutely beautiful and it had taken me six weeks to _________it. I could hardly wait to give it to Mother Winters as a _______. She was the head mistress of our orphanage, who was always _______ with us.

As the tables were not dry from the clear coating, the man told us to wait a few days before taking them to our dormitories. But I was just so _______and happy that I couldn’t wait. I dashed out like a _________ , carrying my table, smiling from ear to ear.

When I reached the dormitory I placed the little table beside my bed. I was   _______it when Mother Winters entered. She walked over to the table. Running her hand _______ it, she noticed that it was still wet.

“Were you __________to bring this home?” she asked.

“No, ma’am,” I ________ with my head down.

She ordered me to throw the table out and so I did. After she left, I immediately opened the door to get it back. There was ________stuck all over. I brushed and cried, but it would not come off.

I hid the table in my closet and never ________it. A year later while cleaning up, I gave the table to Mother Henderson, my houseparent（宿管员）, thinking that she would ________it away.

Thirty years later at a reunion, I ________that Mother Henderson was living nearby, so I drove up to see her. We talked cheerfully for long. As I was about to leave, she asked me to come down to her________ to get something important. I followed her ________ into a dark corner. She picked something up. ________she turned around, I could see that she was holding a little table.

Mother Henderson kept the little table that I had given up for lost so long ago.

Two years before, I traveled to Brazil and I rented for a car. Unfortunate, I had an accident and hit another car, and I needed to stay in a hospital for at least two week. I called my parents, so I did not tell them what had happened. I knew that they will be worried about myself because I was so farther away, and that my mother would not sleep if she knew. Therefore, I told them interested stories and how I was enjoying Brazil. As a result, nobody knew truth. I still think that it was the right thing to do.
