1 . A call came into Gilleece’s bar. A newly married woman, who had spent the afternoon at the beach bar, couldn’t find her wallet. She didn’t _________ about her ID or credit cards, but her _________ was inside it.

Gilleece, 42, didn’t like _________ occurred at his place, so he set out to _________ the wallet. He spent hours _________ surveillance cameras (监控摄像机), seeing the woman staying in the bar until she went to sit on a bench outside. Within minutes, a young man _________ the bench after the woman left, put something in his pocket, and walked off. Gilleece _________ a clip (片段) on the bar’s Facebook page to find the boy.

Within hours, Gilleece got a text from 17­-year­-old Rivers Prather. Prather _________ having taken the wallet and told Gilleece he’d done it because he hadn’t _________ for two days. He said he saw the ring but thought it was a(n) __________ one, so he took the money and __________ the wallet. Then he bought a sandwich.

Gilleece wasn’t sure if he could __________ the boy, so he told the teen to meet him at the bar. There, they got to talking, and Gilleece, a father of two, saw Prather was more of a kid than a(n) __________.

“He would be going to big boy jail (监狱),” Gilleece says. “I had to __________ him somehow.” Gilleece hired two local divers to __________ the waters. More than one hour passed, with no __________ of the ring. Gilleece grew __________, especially when the detective tried to get the boy to jail. A diver popped up __________. In his hand was the wallet, and inside was the ring.

Helping others are a great pleasure. I still remember that person who once helped myself.

One morning, my mother got ill and I quickly ride my bike to buy some medicine for her. I was on such a hurry that my bike hit a tree and I fell onto the ground. Just then, a man saw that was happening when drive past. He stopped take me to the nearest hospital. Luckily, the doctor said I wasn’t bad hurt. Then the man took me to a drugstore and helped me buy some medicine. Finally, he drove me home. How kind he was!

Since then, I have started to help others in the need. I think a little help can make a big different to others.

10 . When David Carter started his art major at the University of Texas at Austin in 1971, he had big dreams of becoming an artist or a writer. But he dropped out of university at 23 after he hurt his hand badly in an incident. He was later diagnosed with schizophrenia(精神分裂症) and spent several years without a home. Carter liked to spend time around UT-Austin, because he dreamed of being able to continue his study in the university and becoming a writer.

UT-Austin student Ryan Chandler said he met Carter during an assignment(任务)   on homelessness for The Daily Texan. “I interviewed him about homeless problems. After I heard his story, we kept in touch and really became friends. I learned he wanted to get back to UT-Austin, so I decided to help him.” said Chandler.

With the help of Chandler, who worked with the university office, Carter was assigned and adviser by UN-Austin’s College of Fine Arts. “It’s the greatest blessing I’ve ever received,” Carter said. “He did what had to be done to get me back to school, and I couldn’t have done it without him.” after seeing a magazine article about Carter, a UT-Austin alumnus(校友) decided to pay his tuition fees without telling his name.

Doug Dempster, dean of the college of Fine Arts, said in a statement that the school would be looking to help Carter in any way it could. “David Carter’s determination to complete his degree is a testament to finishing well what was started, and stopped, even many years earlier. We welcome him back as we do many students each year whose education could not be completed easily. We’re going to help him through his remaining course work.”

2. What was Chandler’s purpose in interviewing Carter?
