When I was in seventh grade, I volunteered at a local hospital during the summer. I spent most of the time there with Mr. Gillespie. He never had any      , and nobody seemed to care about his condition. I spent many days there       his hand and talking to him, helping with anything that needed to be done. He became a close friend of mine,       Mr. Gillespie was in a coma (昏迷).
I left for a week, and when I came back, Mr. Gillespie was      . I didn't have the courage to ask any of the nurses where he was, for       they might tell me he had died.
So with many questions      , I continued to volunteer there.
Several years later, I was at a gas station when I noticed a       face. When I realized who it was, my eyes filled with tears. He was alive? I got up the       to ask him if his name was Mr. Gillespie, and if he had been in a       about 5 years ago. With an uncertain look on his face, he       yes. I explained how I knew him. His eyes were       with tears, and he gave me the warmest hug.
He began to tell me when he       there comatose (昏迷的), he could hear me talking to him and could       me holding his hand the whole time. He thought it was an      , not a person, who was there with him. Mr. Gillespie firmly believed that it was my       and touch that had kept him alive.
Then he told me about his life and what happened       him to put him in the coma. We both cried for a while, said our goodbyes and       our separate ways.
Although I have not seen him since then, he fills my heart with joy every day. I know that I made a       between his life and his death. More      , he has made a very big difference in my life, too. I will never forget him and what he       for me: he made me an angel.

It was a busy morning, about 8:30, when an elderly gentleman in his 80s came to the hospital.

The nurse had him take a        in the waiting area, __   _him it would be at least 40 minutes      someone would be able to see him. I saw him      his watch and decided, because I was      busy—my patient didn’t appear at the appointed hour, I would examine his wound. While taking care of his wound, I asked him       he had another doctor’s appointment
The gentleman said no and told me that he      to go to the nursing home to eat breakfast with his      . He told me that she had been       for a while and that she had a special disease. I asked if she would be        if he was a bit late. He replied that she      knew who he was, and that she had not been able to        him for five years now.

Eighty-year-old retired tailor, James McKay, spent Saturday night in jail after     thirty-year-old Keith Smith over the head       his walking stick. McKay's wife, Laurence told us that while McKay is usually a       person, he had been       to this act of violence by getting wet just once too often.
Smith lives above the McKays and it appears that not only is he a keen gardener, he is also a       collector. Unfortunately for him, the water he sent over his balcony every day ended up on the McKay's, or too often, on the McKays      .
“For the last fortnight, since Smith moved into the flat above us, we have hardly dared to go to our      ,” said Laurence. She added that it wasn't so much the water falling onto their balcony from Smith watering his plant       bothered them, it was more the way he cleaned his fish tanks. “We'd be       there happily reading our newspapers, when       so much water would come from above that we'd be as wet as if we'd       with our clothes on! Neither could we get rid of the       of fish!”
And on Saturday evening it was just too      . “It was James's birthday,” explained Laurence, “and I'd made him a birthday cake. The candles were a great sight as you can imagine, but James didn't get to blow them out.”      , Smith emptied one of his larger tanks over his balcony and both the McKays and the cake were wet      . Rarely had Laurence seen McKay move so fast. “I couldn't       him. He was up there in a flash. It was the fastest I'd seen him move since 1964.”
Smith is not going to take things further with the police. He has also promised to change his       from now on. And what of James McKay?       he left the police station, a large crowd of supporters sang him, “Happy Birthday”. “     the most exciting birthday      !” said the cheerful old man. “The best since my adolescence I'd say!”

I grew up in a small town and the main entertainment was Friday night high school football. It was just a sleepy little town where parents wanted to raise their children away from crime and              of a big city, and where teenagers like me        leaving to find something bigger and better.
All that changed one summer night. My friend Lisa, Martin and Tyler held a party for my eighteenth birthday at Lisa’s house.       they kept handing alcohol to me I was pretty        . I asked Tyler to take me home. With some       , we made it out to his car and drove home. News came next morning. My friend Martin was       in a car accident. That night after Tyler and I left, Martin, who was       more drunk than me, got into his car and        towards the highway to go home. Driving on the wrong side of the road, he never saw the truck coming. The driver didn’t see him       to avoid the car. They hit head on. Martin died immediately, and the driver was thrown       the truck windshield(挡风玻璃)and died a week later.
Whenever I       back on that day, I can’t help thinking that it was my       to drink so much that night.       things would be different. I know Martin       the choice to drink and drive that night, but a part of me will always feel       for what happened.
I may not change the world with my story, but I do hope that by       my story I can make you       that you not only have a responsibility for yourself but also for others. Don’t ever think that your choices are yours       . Every choice is like a stone dropped into         water—each ripple (涟漪) represents someone who your choice       . That’s quite an influence, isn’t it?

Bai’s story was about        social conception (观念) has changed on costume play. It has become so        in many cities that more than 3,000 players from all over the country competed        the championship (冠军). The young people can        more time on their own interest with enough money from their parents.
The interesting costumes showed the exciting side,        there were difficulties behind it that others couldn’t feel.
Bai’s mother Li Yao says she could        accept the new fashion of dressing in the beginning. “It was really        to my husband and me.” Li says. “But        we let her try it because we didn’t want her to be too       .”
At Bai’s school, costume play was once not        for students because it was regarded as a huge distraction (分散精力) from classes and tests, which are the first for most Chinese parents and students. Therefore, Bai and her        must practice during the weekend. “If you are interested in something, you must spend your spare time,” she says.

My father died in December. He had spent the last several years in hospital, and my mother spent a lot of her time        him. That is without doubt, a     situation for any family. And the       was a team of fairly frustrated family members.
My biggest frustration was trying to        why he didn’t make choices that would       him to be involved more fully in the lives of his grandchildren. Yet he     each and every one of them. Every morning he asked my mother which of his grandbabies was going to       that day. He had frequent visits from his collection of loving grandkids. Kids would have the place     up instantly—toys everywhere, cushions off the couches and the TV channel       to their station. Every visit was a kid invasion into his space. Interestingly, he was not at all bothered by the      or chaos at all. He was never       with them and he certainly never shouted at any child. Visits ended with       and kisses.
I felt that relationship wasn’t good enough because he didn’t actually do anything        my children. My dad didn’t read to the children, and certainly        played a board game or did a puzzle with them. He didn’t take them out for        or do any of the other things I saw active grandparents doing with their grandchildren. It made me sad that he was        to get on with the kids.
A couple of weeks after his death, my 9-year-old daughter turned up in my bedroom at midnight to share a
      of him done by herself. Included in the picture were several messages and        —one for each day since he had died. The most striking one to me was“I loved EVERYTHING about you, Grandpa”.
Apparently, I was       . All that time I thought he wasn’t doing anything with his grandchildren, but he was very actively doing the thing that was most        to them. He loved them. And it was all they needed.
