From her 10       ,I knew that one person I was looking for had passed away. We both stood 11        for a moment. I was 12        and I turned to walk away after a few moments' silence. I glanced at the woman and she took the 13        from my hand. Pointing at the other 14       of a relative I had written on the paper,the woman led me 15      .

 Years ago,in a small fishing village in Holland,a young boy taught the world about the rewards of unselfish service. Because the entire village lived by fishing,a volunteer rescue team was needed in case of emergency. One night the winds blew heavily,the clouds burst and a sudden storm overturned a fishing boat at sea. In trouble,the crew sent out the S. O. S. The captain of the rescue rowboat team heard the alarm and the villagers gathered in the town square overlooking the bay.

  An hour later,the rescue boat reappeared through the fog and the cheering villagers ran to greet them. Falling tired out on the sand,the volunteers reported that the rescue boat could not hold any more passengers and they had to leave one man behind. Even one more passenger would have surely overturned the rescue boat and all would have been lost.

  Madly,the captain called for another volunteer team to look for the lone survivor. Sixteen-year-old Hans stepped forward. His mother seized his arm,begging, "Please don't go. Your father died in a shipwreck 10 years ago and your older brother,Paul,has been lost at sea for three weeks. Hans,you are all I have left."

Hans replied, " Mother,this time I have to do my duty. When the call for service comes,we all need to take our turn and do our part. " Hans kissed his mother,joined the team and dis?appeared into the night.

  Another hour passed,which seemed to Hans' mother like a century. Finally,the rescue boat moved through the fog with Hans standing up in the bows.

 Friendship can be found closer than you think,even in your own home. 1      ,I knew I always had a great friend,my brother.

  My brother and I have a(n) 2       tradition of never letting the other 3        the mishaps (小事故) that " accidentally" occurred between us. My " accidents" involved " accidentally" 4       him and then he would run as fast as he could around the house. My favorite memory is the time my brother threw a dart (飞镖) at the dartboard while I happened to be standing in front of it 5        the darts. He stood there,halfhorrified,halfsmiling,watching the dart hang from my back,dropping in my bare skin. He also 6       a toy truck at my knees. To make matters worse,instead of making sure my brother 7        what he was doing,my dad pulled out the camera and took a picture. However,neither of them feels any 8        of this.

  Another time that sticks in my mind is both painful and 9       . One night we were staying at my aunt's house and I was really 10        about something. I just remember crying and crying in my brother's arms. I don't even remember 11        I was so sorrowful;the important thing is that I have this memory of 12       he was there for me and feeling comforted by him. In looking back,it is nice to know that two brothers could share that kind of 13       with each other. I love that 14       .

  We had,and still have such a custom. 15       my brother has a caring soul,the days I did believe in him felt very good. That is a feeling I experience so 16        in my life these days― feeling completely understood without even 17       . More often than not,my path feels lonely. But Fve realized that discovering my own 18        is even more of a reason to cherish siblings (兄弟姐妹) whom I can understand and 19       . Almost everyone has a sibling,and they can be the precious 20        to get such feelings.
