A boy lost his arms in an accident and had to depend on his brother for almost everything. His younger brother became his   1 , never leaving him alone for years. Except for writing with his , he was completely unable to do anything in his life.
One night, his brother accompanied him into the  3  and went back to wait. But being so tired, his younger brother fell  4 , leaving him in the toilet for two hours. As the two brothers grew   5 , they had different opinions about many things and often  6 . His brother wanted to  7  from him to live his own life. Knowing this, he was heart-broken and didn't know what to do.  
A similar misfortune happened to a girl. One night her   8 , who suffered from mental illness, 9  . So her father went out looking for her mother, leaving her alone at home. She tried to  10  a meal for her parents, but only to overturn the stove, resulting in a  11  , which took her hands away.
Though her elder sister, who was studying in another city, showed her  12  to help her, she made up her mind to be completely  13 . And she made it.
One day, the boy and the girl were both   14  to appear on a television interview program. They both were asked to  15  something on a piece of paper with their toes. The boy wrote: My brother's arms are my arms; while the girl wrote: Broken wings, flying hearts.

But,   41 , I just smiled and reminded him that Chicago was a very   42  city. He nodded, and I thought he was going to be content to drop the subject and talk about something else. But I was wrong.

His friend’s main   44  in life seemed to be tennis. He was an excellent tennis player , and he   45   had his own tennis court.

I told him that I knew several   47  like that, including my brother, who was a doctor in California. He   48  that maybe there were more private courts in the country than he   49  but he did not know of any others. Then he asked me   50  my brother lived in California. When I said Sacramento, he said that was a coincidence   51  his Chicago friend spent the summer in Sacramento last year and he lived next door to a   52  who had a tennis court in his backyard. I said I felt that really was a coincidence (巧合) because my next-door neighbour had gone to Sacramento last summer and had   53  the house next to my brother’s house. For a moment, we stared at each other, but we did not say anything.
“Would your friend’s name happen to be Roland Kirkwood?” I asked finally. He   54  and said, “Yes. Would your brother’s name happen to be Dr Rey Hunter?” It was my   55  to laugh. “Yes,” I replied.

“The __49__ makes kids know there are people __50__, says Paillex, “and it plants the seed for giving back. When they become tomorrow’s __51__, it will be much more possible for them to __52__ their coworkers and employees to get __53__ in something like this.

For most people, graduation is an exciting day, but my graduation day was not.
I remember that weekend two years ago. Family and friends had flown in from across the country to   36  the celebration. But just like everyone else in my class, I had watched the  37   turn from bad to worse in my senior year. Almost all of us graduates had degrees, but very uncertain   38 .
The weeks ahead weren’t   39 . I knew my small university town couldn’t offer me any opportunities,   40  I packed up my car and drove to Southern California to find work. But what I thought would take a   41   dragged into two, and then four, and 100 job applications later, I found myself in the exact same   42  as I was before.
You know that feeling when you wake up in   43  ? That feeling became a constant in my life. Days felt like weeks, weeks like months, and those many months felt like everlasting   44 . And the most annoying part was no matter how much I tried, I just couldn’t seem to make any   45  .
So what did I do to keep my good sense? I decided to    46 . Something about putting words on a page made everything seem a little clearer — a little brighter. Something about writing gave me    47 . And if you want something  48 enough, sometimes a little hope is all you   49 !
I put my thoughts into a children’s book. Beyond the River was the story of an unlikely hero, a little fish, who   50  to give up his dream.
And then one day, without any sort of writing degree or contacts in the writing world — just a lot of hard work and determination —I was offered a   51  contract for my first book! After that, things slowly began to fall into   52  . I was offered a second book deal. Then, a few months later, I got an interview with the Walt Disney Company and was   53  shortly after.
Don’t give up. Even if things look   54  now, don’t give up. If you work hard, things will always get better. Often times our dreams lie in wait just a little further upstream ... all we need is the   55   to push beyond the river.

A boy was walking home from school when he saw a large, tempting(诱人的)apple on one of the branches of an apple tree hanging out over a tall fence. The boy wasn’t much of a fruit-eater,  26 a bar of chocolate if given the choice,  27  , as they say, the forbidden fruit can be tempting. Seeing the apple, the boy wanted it. The more he looked at it, the 28 he felt and the more he wanted that apple.
He stood on tiptoe(脚尖),29 as high as he could, but even as his tallest 30 he was unable to touch it. He began to  31 up and down, as high as he could, at the  32 of each jump stretching his arms to get the apple. Still it remained out of  33 .
Not giving up, he thought, if only he had something to  34 on. His school bag wouldn’t give enough height and he didn’t want to  35 the things inside, like his lunch box, pencil case, and Gameboy. Looking   36 , he hoped he might find an old box, a rock , or,  37 luck, even a ladder, but it was a tidy neighborhood and there was nothing he could use.
He had tried everything he could think to do,   38  seeing any other choices, he gave up and started to walk   39 . At first he felt angry and disappointed thinking about how hungry he had become from his  40 , and how he really wanted that apple. The more he 41  like this, the more unhappy he became.
42 , the boy of our story was a pretty smart guy, even if he couldn’t always get what  he wanted. He started to say to himself, “ This isn’t  43 , I don’t have the apple and I’m feeling miserable as well. There’s  44 more I can do to get the apple—hat is unchangeable—but we are supposed to be able to  45 our feelings. If that’s the case, what can I do to feel better?

I believe that families are not only blood relatives, but sometimes people who show up and love you when no one else will.
In May 1977, I was living in a Howard Johnson’s motel off Interstate 10 in Houston. My dad and I  21  a room with two double beds and a bathroom which was too  22  for a 15-year-old girl and her father. Dad’s second marriage was   23  and my stepmother had   24  us both out of the house the previous week. Dad had no   25_  what to do with me. And that’s when my other family   26 .
Barbara and Roland Beach took me into their home   27  their only daughter, Su, my best friend, asked them to. I   28  with them for the next seven years.
Barb washed my skirts the same as Su’s. She   29  I had lunch money, doctors’ appointments, help with homework and nightly hugs. Barbara and Roland attended every football game where Su and I were being cheerleaders.  30 I could tell, for the Beaches there was no  31 between Su and me; I was their daughter, too.
When Su and I  32 college they kept my room the same for the entire four years I attended school. Recently, Barb presented me with an insurance policy they bought when I first moved in with them and had continued to pay on for 23 years.
The Beaches knew  33 about me when they took me in – they had heard the whole story from Su. When I was seven, my mother died and from then on my father relied on other people to _34 his kids. Before I went to live with the Beaches I had believed that life was entirely   35__ and that love was shaky and untrustworthy. I had believed that the only person who would take care of me was me.
 36 the Beaches, I would have become a bitter, cynical (愤世嫉俗的) woman. They gave me a(n)  37 that allowed me to grow and change. They kept me from being paralyzed(使瘫痪 ,使麻痹 ,使无能力)by my _38   , and they gave me the confidence to open my heart.
I   39  family. For me, it wasn’t the family that was there on the day I was   40  , but the one that was there for me when I was living in a Howard Johnson’s on Interstate 10.
