“OK. We’ll come soon. Please stay there and wait.” Replied the policeman.
Within a minute, a police car and an ambulance     off. Soon they got to the crossing, but only to find everything was fine. No collision, no wounded man.
“What a dirty     !” said the policeman angrily. “ We must find out that woman and…”
They had not been able to say anything about a      when they heard the whistle of a train was nearing them quickly. All of a sudden, a truck appeared. It came     towards them, too. When it was passing the crossing, it suddenly      to move on. Right then and there, before the eyes of all the people present, the train collided with the truck heavily and struck it dozens of metres away.
When Randolph Bruce, the driver, was helped out of the damaged truck, he was badly wounded just as the young woman had predicted on the phone. As he was taken to hospital in time, he was     at last. Later the police did whatever they could to     the woman who had       them, but failed.

The day before Mother’s Day, Mrs. Berry asked her students to make a card for their mothers. She passed out paper and pieces of cloth.
Mary looked for a while at the blue cloth and began to cut it. Then she      her paper in half and began writing. When Mary finally looked at the message the teacher gave on the paper, she noticed something else. She felt her      grow hot---she hadn’t heard that anyone who didn’t have a mother could make one for a grandmother or an aunt.
As her teacher      to her, Mary tried covering her card with her arm, but Mrs. Berry gently lifted it so that she could      it. Mary sat      , waiting for her to say something, but she saw a      roll down Mrs. Berry’s face. She had never made Mrs. Berry so      .
When school was over, Mary      until all the other kids left so that she could apologize . “I’m sorry for not listening. I’ll make another card      you want. I’ll do it at home and      it tomorrow.”
    are you talking about?” asked Mrs. Berry.
“My Mother’s Day card. I know you’re sad because I didn’t do it      .”
“Mary, that was the      card in the whole class. It was so      that it made me cry. ”
Mary was so      that she ran out of the classroom.
When her father came home from work that night, Mary      to give him the card early .
On the front of the card was a      of Mary’s father, with a blue piece of cloth cut like his hair. Inside the card she had written:
Dear Dad,
I know you work really hard to be both a      and a father. I want to thank you and       you a Happy Mother’s Day!
Love
Mary
When her dad read the card he started      , just like Mrs Berry did.

A friend of mine met with an accident driving in darkness. His legs were so hurt that he couldn’t move. What was the       was he found himself unable to ask for help — his mobile phone went out of        as a result of exhausted battery. Nothing could be done but to       in cold wilderness. It was 8 hours later that day broke, and then the        of the rescue.
It is almost       that he could stand the horror in the darkness for so long. Even more surprising was his       : "First of all I checked up my        conditions and found myself not in mortal (致命的)danger. As there was no way to call for help, I leaned back in my seat trying my best to keep the wound from      . In this way I dozed (打盹)off ."
His story put an end to my regret for the       of an exploration adventure that happened last year. A group of young men       to explore a mountain cave and got lost.        to find a way out in the dark cave they were frightened and ran anxiously without a sense of        .Finally they fell dead in fear and exhaustion. According to the       people that found them, the place where they got lost was only about 10 meters away from the        of the cave. If they stayed on the spot when they lost their way and tried to        themselves, they would probably sense a faint light glimmering (闪烁)not far away .
Don’t you think that you can compare it with        itself? When you meet with obstacles (障碍)in life and work, you are lost in darkness.     you it’s unclear yet and you needn’t put up struggle        . It seems to be a negative attitude,        a person who can afford to do so must have foresight as well as a great       in the first place.
