James shook his money box again. Nothing! He carefully   36  the coins that lay on the bed. $24.52 was all that he had. The bicycle he wanted was $90!  37   on earth was he going to get the   38  of the money? He knew that his friends all had bicycles. It was   39  to hang around with people when you were the only one without wheels. He thought about what he could do. There was no   40   to ask his parents, for he knew they had no money to  41  . There was only one way to get money, and that was to   42   it. He would have to find a job.  43   who would hire him and what could he do? He decided to ask Mr Clay for advice, who usually had    __44  in most things. "Well, you can start right here," said Mr Clay. "My windows need cleaning and my car needs washing." That was the  45  of James’s odd-job (零工) business. For three months he worked every day after finishing his homework. He was surprised by the  46   jobs that people found for him to do. He took dogs and babies for walks, cleared out cupboards, and mended books. He lost count of the   47  of cars he washed and windows he cleaned, but the  48  increased and he knew that he would soon have  49  for the bicycle he was dying for. The day   50   came when James counted his money and found $94.32. He   51  no time and went down to the shop to pick up the bicycle he wanted. He rode   52   home, looking forward to showing his new bicycle to his friends. It had been hard   53  for the money, but James knew that he valued (重视) his bicycle far more 54   he had bought it with his own money. He had   55  what he thought was impossible, and that was worth even more than the bicycle.

I grew up in a small town where the elementary school was a ten-minute walk from my house. Since it is not far away, I could go home for lunch and find my mother   36   for me.

At the time, I did not consider this a luxury(奢侈享受),    37  today it certainly would be. I took it for granted that mothers were the sandwich-makers and the   38   monitors(监督者). So I never   39  that this ambitious (雄心勃勃的) and clever woman,   40  had had a career before I was born, would spend almost every lunch hour throughout my elementary school years just with me.

I only knew that when the noon bell rang, I  41   race breathlessly home. My mother would be standing at the top of the stairs, smiling down at me with a look that suggested I was the only important thing she had on her  42  . For this, I am forever   43 .

One lunchtime when I was in the third grade will  44   me always. I had been picked to be the princess in the school play, and for weeks my mother had patiently helped me practise my  45   . But no matter how    46   I knew them at home,  47   I stepped on stage, every word  48   from my head.

Finally, my teacher took me aside and   49   that she had written a narrator's (叙述者 ) part to the play, and asked me to   50   roles.  Her words, kindly spoken,  51  hurt me, especially when I saw my part go to another girl.

I didn't tell my mother what had happened when I went home for lunch that day. But she   52   my unease（不安）, and instead of suggesting we practise my lines, she asked if I wanted to   53  in the yard.

       I watched my mother stop and bend down. "I think I'm going to  54  all these dandelions（蒲公英）," she said, pulling a flower up by its roots. "From now on, we'll have only roses in this garden."
　　"But I like dandelions," I protested（抗议）. "Yes, all flowers are beautiful—even dandelions." said mother. "Every flower gives pleasure in its own way, doesn't it?" she asked thoughtfully. I nodded, pleased that I had won her over. "And that is true of  55  too," she added. "Not everyone can be a princess, but there is no shame in that."

       Bobby was getting cold in his backyard in the snow with no boots. The   36   sneakers he wore had a few holes in them and they did a poor job of keeping   37   the cold. Bobby had been in his backyard for about an hour already.

       And, try   38   he might, he could not come up with an idea for his mother’s Christmas gift. He shook his head as he thought, “This is   39  ; even if I do come up with an idea, I don’t have any money to   40  .”

       It was starting to get dark and Bobby   41   turned to walk home when suddenly his eyes 42   the glimmer (闪光) of the   43   sun’s rays reflecting off something along the roadside. He reached down and discovered a shiny dime (一角硬币).

       Never before has anyone felt so   44   as Bobby felt at that moment. As he held his new found treasure, a   45   spread throughout his entire body and he walked into the first store he saw.

       His excitement quickly turned   46   after being told that he couldn’t buy anything with only a dime. He saw a flower shop and went inside. Bobby   47   the dime and asked if he could buy one flower for his mother’s Christmas gift. The shop owner looked at Bobby and his ten-cent   48  . Then he said, “You just wait here and I’ll see what I can do for you.” As Bobby waited, he looked at the beautiful flowers and even though he was a boy, he could see why mothers and girls   49   flowers.

       The sound of the door closing as the last customer left, turned Bobby back to   50  . All alone in the shop, Bobby began to feel alone and afraid.

       Suddenly the shop owner came out. There, before Bobby’s eyes,   51   twelve red roses, with leaves of green and tiny white flowers all tied together with a big silver bow. “That will be ten cents, young man.” The shop owner said reaching out his hand for the dime.

       Could this be true? No one else would give him a thing for his dime!

         52   the boy’s hesitation, the shop owner   53  , “I just   54   to have some roses on sale for ten cents a dozen. Would you like them?”

       This time Bobby did not   55  , and when the man placed the bunch of roses into his hands, he knew it was true. Walking out of the door, Bobby heard the shop owner say, “Merry Christmas, son.”

Fifteen years spent in the field of education has provided me with many treasured moments. One of the most unforgettable   36   when I was teaching the second   37 , 10 years ago.

In May I decided to plan something special for the children: a Mother's Day tea. We had put our heads together to   38   ideas of how to   39  our mothers. We practiced singing songs, memorized poems and wrote cards. We decided to hold our tea the Friday before Mother's Day. I was surprised and   40   to learn that every mother was planning to attend. I   41   invited my own mother.

Finally, the big day arrived. Each child   42   up at our Classroom door, expecting the arrival of his or her mom.   43   it got closer to starting time, I looked around and my eyes quickly found Jimmy. His mother hadn’t shown up and he was looking   44    .

I took my mother by the hand and walked over to Jimmy. "Jimmy," I said, "I have a bit of problem here and l was   45   if you could keep my mother    46    while I'm busy."

My mom and Jimmy sat at a table. Jimmy    47    my mom her treats, presented her with the gift I had made, just as we had   48   the day before. Whenever I looked over, my mother and Jimmy were in deep    49   .

Now 10 years later, I work with students of all ages, educating them about the environment. Last year, I took a senior class on a field trip, and there was Jimmy, I had the students complete an outline of the day's   50   and an evaluation of our trip. Then I collected the students' booklets and checked them to see if  51   was completed. When I came   52   Jimmy's page, he had written "Remember our Mother's Day tea we had in the second grade, Mrs. Matra? I do! Thanks for all you did for me, and thank your mother, too."

I told him I really enjoyed what he had written. He looked rather embarrassed and   53   his own thanks and walked away. Suddenly he ran back and gave me a big hug. "Thanks again. No one even knew my mother didn't   54   it."

I ended my workday with a hug from a teenage boy who had  55   stopped hugging teachers years ago.
