Travis laughed as he tore at the wrapping (包装) paper on his birthday present. He was so       ! Finally, he would have the coolest pair of name-brand basketball shoes.
All the guys on his team were wearing the name-brand shoes of a popular basketball      , Chuck Hart.     Hart was criticized for his poor sportsmanship and infamous        he was a great player. In fact, Travis wasn’t thinking about Hart’s behavior; he had only expected to see Hart’s       on the side of the box. He realized that something was     as he tore away the last piece of paper. Not Hart’s. The new shoes were the name-brand of another player, Robert Ryann, who was        for his amazing work in the community.
Travis’s hands     ; his heart stopped. It wasn’t that the Ryann shoes weren’t nice, but what would his friends think?
They were the wrong shoes and Travis would be     by the other players. When he looked up into his dad’s eyes, however, Travis knew he     tell him. “Thanks, Dad. I was really hoping for shoes,” Travis said as he pulled the shoes out of the box.
Next morning his dad drove him to school. When they      in front of his destination, Travis slowly opened the car door. Just then, his dad stopped him.
“Hey, Travis, wait a minute…” his dad said     “Travis, I know those aren’t the shoes you had hoped for, but I saw the names of the two guys and made a(n)      . The guy whose name is on those shoes,” he said, pointing down at Travis’s feet, “is someone I     . Do you know how often Ryann has found himself in     ? “
“ No,” Travis said.
“ Never. He’s never talked back to his coach or started a fight, and he’s a team player. You could have acted like a(n)      when you didn’t get the shoes you wanted, Travis,     you were polite and made the best of it. You have honor, like the guy whose name is on these shoes. I am hoping that someday, your       will be on the coolest pair of shoes I’ll ever see.”
When Travis looked down at his feet, he saw the shoes     . His dad had used his mind and heart to give the son a thoughtful      .

So tired as I was, I bothered myself to open up my cafe shop on the cold morning. With many consumers streaming in, I knew another long business day began. And I had to serve far into the night.
As I rushed among the tables, suddenly, a       asked if I could mind a child. I was quite        but I could tell the man was quite desperate(绝望的). So I had to make a       with him that if he wanted his son to stay and wait for him, he had to        something in the shop.
This was quite       for the man to do; I could       he was quite poor by the       he was dressed. It looked as if he had tried to come in his       clothes. But they still looked a bit old and worn out      he had often worn them, just to make himself look best. Looking down I could see his       were also a bit shabby(破旧的)and the heels(鞋后跟)were in a terrible state. I thought he was going for a job interview. In the end he bought a small box of       for his little son and seated him down in the corner. I could tell the boy was feeling down and only could       with a bit of cheering up.
Seeing that the kid sat there for quite a while, I was a bit       as the poor little kid was sitting      his own. People watched him and some kids even came over to pick on him. I was       to see one of them even knocked his cookies off the table. He quickly went and got them back without saying a word. I was hoping his father would       up and come back for his son's      .
At closing time, the only person left was the little boy. After a while, the father finally came in with a tiresome look. I       he didn't get any job. As they were leaving, I offered the kid a little cake, but the man rejected(拒绝)it. I       he felt as if I had just abused(虐待)him. Of course I didn't mean to. But I could understand why he felt like that. I only wished them good       whatever happened.  
The man opened the door to leave — father and son hand in hand.

The Johnson family from England believe they are lucky to be alive after surviving an incredible incident off the coast of Australia. The Johnsons had been      that they might see some whales when they were _    a yacht (帆船)— a large expensive boat for a 10-day sailing      around the Whitsunday Islands.     , they had no clue just how      their viewing would be. Two hours into their journey a nine-meter-long humpback whale      out of the ocean and crashed into their boat before returning to the water.
Mark Johnson,the eldest son,was sailing the yacht when he heard an immense bang and a thud(重击声).He     thought the yacht had hit a rock. However, when he looked up, he saw the whale      down the deck of the boat. He told the reporters, “ We were staring into its right eye. It was a very     _ moment. The eye was about the      of a dinner plate. It was huge.”
    for the Johnson family, no one was hurt, but the yacht suffered      damage. The whale had ruined the mast and rigging — the pole and ropes which hold the      ——and so the family was left      at sea, 10 miles from the shore. The      equipment was also damaged, but fortunately they had a cell phone and were able to call for help.
Why the whale jumped onto the yacht is a    ,but the family thinks that maybe the boat had not      sailed between the whale and its baby calf. Perhaps the whale was trying to      its calf when it jumped, hit the yacht by chance.
Whatever the reason, people are completely      that this incident happened. There is over 135 million square miles of ocean , so what are the      of a whale jumping onto a 30-foot-long yacht? The chance of something like this happening is miniscale, but it just shows that life is full of surprises.

Immediately I got up and dressed, I stuck my violin under my jacket and went out into the streets to try my    . I wandered about for an hour, looking for a likely     , feeling as though I were about to commit a crime. Then I      at last under a bridge near the station and decided to have a try.
I felt tense and     . It was the first time, after all. I drew the violin from under the jacket like a gun. It was here, in Southampton, with trains rattling overhead, that I was about to       myself. One moment I was part of the hurrying crowds, the next I stood apart, my back to the wall, my hat on the       before me, the violin under my chin.
The first notes I played were loud and raw, like a declaration of protest, then they settled down and began to run more _   and to stay more or less in tune. To my     ,I was neither arrested nor told to shut up. Indeed, nobody took any     at all. Then an old man, without stopping at all, dropped a penny into my       as though getting rid of some guilty evidence.
I worked the streets of Southampton for several days, gradually obtaining the truth of the       by trial and error. It was not a good thing, for instance, to let the hat fill up with money---the sight could      a kind-hearted man; nor was it wise to      it completely, which could also confuse him, giving him no hint as to where to      his money. Placing a couple of pennies in the hat to start the thing going soon became a       practice and I made sure, between tunes, to take off most of the earnings, but always leaving two      behind.
Old      were most generous, and so were women with children, shop girls and barmaids.  As for men, heavy drinkers were always willing listeners and so were big guys with muscles. But      a man with an expensive hat, briefcase or dog: respectable types were the least      of all.  Except for retired army officers, who would shout "Why aren't you     , young man?" and then would over-tip to cover up their confusion.

A few months ago, I was picking up the children at school. Emily, another mother that I knew well, rushed up to me. She was full of ____.
“Do you know ____ you and I are?” she asked. ____ I could answer, she gave out the reason for her question. She had just returned from renewing her driver’s license at a government office. The woman ____ desk asked her what her “occupation” was. Emily hesitated, ____ how to answer it. “What I mean is,” explained the woman, “do you have a job, or are you just a ...?” “Of course I have a job,” answered Emily. “I’m a (an) ____.” “We don’t ____ ‘mother’ as an occupation ... ‘housewife’ covers it,” she said.
I forgot all about her story ____ one day I found myself in the same situation. This time it was at our own Town Hall. The clerk was a woman.
“And what is your occupation?” she asked. What ____ me say it, I do not know. The words simply jumped out. “I’m ... a (an) ______ in the field of Child Development and Human Relations.”
The clerk stopped, her ball-point pen _____ in mid-air. She looked up ____ she had not heard right. I repeated the title slowly.
“Might I ask,” said the clerk with new interest, “just what you do in your _____?” Coolly, I heard myself _____, “I have a continuing program of research in the laboratory and in the field. I’m working for my masters (the whole family) and already have ____ credits (令人增光的人或事物) (all daughters). I often work 14 hours a day (24 is more like it). The job is more challenging than most jobs and the ____ are in satisfaction rather than just money.”
There was an increasing note of ____ in the clerk’s voice as she ____ in the form. As I drove into our driveway(私家车道), I was ____ by my lab assistants — ages 13, 7, and 3. Inside the house I could hear our new experimental model (six months) in the child-development program.
I felt successful. Motherhood...what a great ____.
