America is built on the idea of freedom, and there is no exception for Muslim women. I       the freedom of religion and speech. But mostly, I believe it’s OK to be       , and to stand up for who and what you are. So I believe in wearing the hijab.
The hijab is a religious head covering, like a scarf. I am Muslim, and keeping my head covered is a       of maturity and respect toward my        and to Allah’s will.       , I also like to wear it to be different. I don’t usually like to do what everyone else is doing. I want to be a(n)         , not just part of the crowd. But when I first wore it, I was also afraid of the          that I’d get at school.
I       on my own that sixth grade was the       I should start wearing the hijab. I was       about what the kids would say or even do to me. I thought they might make fun of me, or       be scared of me and       my head-scarf. Kids at that age usually like to be all the same, and there’s little or no       of differences.
On the first day of school, I put all those     thoughts behind my back and walked in with my head held high. I was holding my breath a little, but       I was also proud to be a Muslim, proud to be wearing the hijab, proud to be different.
I was       about everything I thought the kids would say or even do to me. I actually met a lot of people because of wearing my head covering. Most of the kids would come and ask me questions —      — about the hijab and why I wore it.
I did hear some kids were making fun of me,      there was one girl — she wasn’t even in my class, we never really talked much — and she spoke       me, and I wasn’t even there! I made a lot of new friends that year, friends that I still have until this very day, five years later.
Yes, I’m different, but everyone is different here, in one way or another. This is the beauty of America, which lies in its        .

Valentine’s Day is a popular festival of love and romance. There are      legends associated with the festival along with the belief that birds began to mate from this day. Historians trace (追踪)its      to an ancient Roman festival. It is said that in ancient Rome, people      a holiday on February 14th to honor Juno—the Queen of Roman Gods and Goddesses. On the following day, February 15th,the festival of Lupercalia was celebrated to honor the Roman God of Agriculture.
An interesting      was followed on the festival of Lupercalia to bring together young boys and girls who otherwise were strictly      . On the eve of the festival, names of young Roman girls were written on a slip of paper and placed into jars. Each young man      a girl's name from the jar and was paired with the girl during the festival. Sometimes the      lasted for a year until next year's celebration. Quite often,the couple would fall in love with each other and       marry. The custom lasted for a long time until people felt that it was un-Christian and that mates should be chosen by sight, not      .
The pairing of young boys and girls set the mood of the Valentine's Day Festival as we know today. But it was      due to the efforts and daring of a priest St Valentine that the festival got its       and clearer meaning. The story goes that Emperor Claudius II of Rome found it      to get soldiers and felt the reason why men did not join the      was that they did not wish to leave their wives and families. As a result, Claudius cancelled all marriages and engagements in Rome. St Valentine challenged Claudius's      order and secretly married couples. When his disobedience was      ,Valentine was put to death on February 14, around 270 AD. After his death Valentine was named a saint.

Another person’s enthusiasm was what set me moving toward the success I have achieved. That person was my stepmother.
I was nine years old when she entered our home in rural Virginia. My father  36  me to her with these words: “I would like you to meet the fellow who is  37  for being the worst boy in this county and will probably start throwing rocks at you no  38  than tomorrow morning.”
My stepmother walked over to me,  39  my head slightly upward, and looked me right in the eye. Then she looked at my father and replied, “ You are  40  . This is not the worst boy at all,    41  the smartest one who hasn’t yet found an outlet for his enthusiasm.”
That statement began a (n)  42  between us. No one had ever called me smart. My family and neighbors had built me up in my  43  as a bad boy. My stepmother changed all that.
She changed many things. She  44  my father to go to a dental school, from which he graduated with honors. She moved our family into the country seat, where my father’s career could be more  45  and my brothers and I could be better  46  .
When I turned fourteen, she bought me a secondhand  47  and told me that she believed that I could become a writer. I knew her enthusiasm, I  48  it, and I saw how it had already improved our lives. I accepted her  49  and began to write for local newspapers. I was doing the same kind of  50  that great day I went to interview Andrew Carnegie and received the task which became my life’s work later. I wasn’t the  51  beneficiary(受益者). My father became the  52  man in town. My brothers and stepbrothers became a physician, a dentist, a lawyer, and a college president.
What power  53  has! When that power is released to support the certainty of one’s purpose and is  54  strengthened by faith, it becomes an irresistible force which poverty and temporary defeat can never  55  .
You can communicate that power to anyone who needs it. This is probably the greatest work you can do with your enthusiasm.

Of course, she wasn't really my aunt and, out of fear, I never called her that to her face. I only ____     to her as "My Aunt Fannie" because it always made my father chuckle and my mother look  ____     at both of us—at me for being _____     of my elder and at my father for _____     my bad behavior. I  ____     both reactions so I grasped every opportunity to work the name into as many conversations as possible.
As a young woman, my mother had worked in the _____      of a large Victorian farmhouse owned by Fannie Cratty and her twin brother, Farnsworth. They represented the ____     of the Cratty line. Neither had married  ____     had any living heirs(继承人) and my father once told me in a whisper that it was because they were both too  ____     to share their family wealth. During those years my mother helped Aunt Fanny make the best blueberry jam ever  ____     by anyone in Glenfield. She was noted for her jam and for never  ____     the recipe with anyone else. ____     my mother knew the recipe by heart, as long as Aunt Fannie was alive, she ____     made the jam without Ms. Cratty in our kitchen to direct the process and preserve the secret.
One year, after I had been particularly helpful with the jam process Aunt Fannie gave me a  ____      and then made me promise that I would never spend it. " ____      this quarter," she said, "and some day you will be rich. I still have my very first quarter given by my grandfather." It had obviously  ____     for her. So I followed her advice.
I now have the blueberry jam recipe and the quarter from Aunt Fannie. In people's eye Aunt Fannie's  ____     was attributed to that secret recipe. But to me, it was just a  ____     recipe. However, I keep them as  ____     to hold firmly the valuable things in life. Money can make you feel rich for a while, but it is the relationships and the memories of time spent with friends and family that truly leave you wealthy. And that is a ____     that anyone can build.
