1. Jerry has read a lot of books on E uropean history.

He lost his arms in an accident. Since then, he has had to depend on his 1  brother. In order to 2 him, his younger brother became his shadow (影子）， never leaving him 3 for years. Except for writing with his 4    , he was completely unable to do anything in his life.

As the two brothers 5    together, then one day,

his younger brother had to work far from him, living his own life，as many normal people do. So he was heartbroken and didnt know 6  to do.

A similar misfortune (不幸）happened to a girl， 7 One night her mother disappeared after arguing with her father. So her father went out looking for her mother,    8 her alone at home. She tried to prepare

meals for her parents, but only to catch a big fire，    9  took her hands away.

10  her elder sister who was studying in another  city,showed her willingness to help her, she made up her mind to be completely independent (独立的）. At school, she always studied hard, she learned to be self-reliant ('自理）.

fortune on which new hopes will arise.
