A note written to a radio station is getting worldwide attention.

The radio station has     1     annual tradition where listeners send in “wish letters,” and the hosts select a     2     (hand) of wishes. They’ve been fulfilling Christmas dreams for more than 20 years,     3     they had never received a letter quite like this.

Last week, the hosts of the radio station invited listener David Schmitz     4     their annual Christmas show, but the station didn’t tell Schmitz     5     had sent in the wish for his family.

They read this letter to him on the air: “Hello, my name is Brenda Schmitz, when you receive this letter, I     6     (lose) my battle to cancer.”

The letter was dated August 3, 2011. Brenda Schmitz passed away less than two months     7     she wrote it. But Brenda Schmitz had given this note to a friend, with instructions on when to mail     8    .

Brenda Schmitz had three     9     (wish) for the family she left behind, their four sons, as well as the new family David Schmitz was starting.

A number of local businesses volunteered to make her wish     10     (come) true.

A wonderful experience happened to me this Saturday on my way to a mall. Two children ran towards me     1     bottles in their hands, asking if I wanted to have bottled water. It was so     2     (surprise) that I was unsure whether this was for real. I wondered if they     3     (do) fund-raising. I asked them where     4     (they) parents were and how much a bottle of water was. Then two adult women came to me and explained     5     the children were doing, “We are teaching the children     6     (give) without getting anything in return.” What a great idea!

An exchange of ideas opened up between me, the mothers and the children. We were no longer strangers to each other. We were having such a great time     7     (chat) and I ended up helping them give away the rest of the bottled water.

One young lady was so     8     (thank) that she said it was the best thing     9     happened to her all day since she had a “bad” day at work. A couple accepted the water     10     (happy) and kept on thanking us. After all was done, the children and I gave each other a high-five. I really had great fun that day.

Last year, my brother and I went to Miami for a vacation, for some of my friends said     1     was a wonderful place for holidays. We had planned for months and when the day came, we were ready.

After our plane landed, we went to the hotel. We had booked our rooms six months     2     (early), but the man at the front desk said there had been a mistake. We     3     (tell) that our rooms was not reserved (预定) for that week,     4     for the week after! I didn’t understand how this would happen and my credit card had already been charged     5     the reservation. What’s worse, the hotel had been fully booked. When we were wondering     6     to do, the manager came out. She was surprisingly     7     (help). She apologized for the mistake and gave us a spare VIP room on     8     top floor. We had never stayed in such an amazing room, and we weren’t charged extra

The next day, my brother and I went to the beach     9     we watched people play volleyball. We got a little     10     (burn) by the bright sun, but the day had been so relaxing that we didn’t mind.

When Jack was a small boy, he was once asked to give a speech about “A Big Challenge in My Life”. To talk before the whole class, he was     1     (terrible) shy. However, he had no other     2     (choose), though. First Jack was to draft the speech,     3     was a piece of cake for him because he was a good writer.     4     the hard part lay in his oral presentation, for it was not allowed     5     (read) the paper.

A real trial began when Jack stood on the platform with his legs     6     (tremble) and his mind blank. He took a deep breath and     7     (try) his best to calm down. He didn’t know how much time had passed by. Gradually he found himself back, giving out his speech without much difficulty.     8     his relief, he made it.

From then on, his fear of talking before a big audience disappeared. Actually Jack had his     9     (confident) built up. Now he turns out to be a great speaker.

As we know, the     10     (great) difficulty we meet on our way to success, the more likely we will be able to achieve our goals.

In America hitching a ride (搭便车) is very common. Many people there love hitching a ride during    1    (they) trips. I also once hitched a ride when I was traveling in America.

I     2    (drive)on the road when my car stopped. I was going to a town     3    was farther than I had expected. My tank (油箱) became empty when I got there. Standing there, I didn’t know what to do. I just knew that I needed help. But I could see nobody around. Who could I turn    4    ? Then I thought of scenes that I had seen in Hollywood    5    (movie). I remembered that people in America loved hitching a ride. I told myself that I could do that, too.

So when a car was coming, I tried to hitch a ride. To my joy, the car really stopped in front of me. The driver was    6    old man. After    7    (know) my problem, he said he could help me out. He took me to the     8    (near) gas station. Then he left as he had something important to do.

I couldn’t walk all the way back to my car. Therefore, I tried to hitch a ride again and I    9    (help) out once again. I was    10    (great) moved.
