As a child，there was nothing I liked better than Sunday afternoons at my grandfather’s farm.   26  by miles of winding stone walls，the house provided endless hours of   27  for a city kid.

I can still remember one afternoon  28   I was eight years old. I’d wanted more than anything to be   29  to climb the walls surrounding the property. The walls were old；some stones were   30  ，others loose. Still，my yearning（向往）to scramble（攀登）across those walls   31   so strong that finally，one spring afternoon，I took all my   32  and entered the living room，where the   33   had gathered after Sunday dinner.

“I，I want to climb the stone walls，”I said hesitantly（犹豫地）.  34  a chorus(异口同声) went up from the women in the room. “Heavens，no！”they cried，“You’ll hurt yourself！”I wasn’t too   35  ；the    36  was just as I’d expected. Just  37  I would leave the room，I was stopped by my grandfather’s loud voice. “Now wait a minute. ”I heard him say，“Let the boy climb the stone walls. He has to learn to do things  38  ” .

For the next two hours I climbed those old walls and had the time of my life. Later I told my grandfather about my  39   . I’ll never forget what he said. “Fred，”he said，smiling，“you made this day a (an)  40  day just by being yourself. Always remember，there’s only one person in this whole world like you，and I like you  41  as you are. ”

Many years have passed   42  then，and today I’m a computer（主持人）in the television program   43  “Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood”，seen by millions of children.

There have been   44  over the years，but one thing remains the same：my  45  left to children at the end of almost every visit. “There’s only one person in this whole world like you，”The kids can hear me say，“and people would like you exactly as you are. ”

It was a beautiful day for sightseeing around downtown Portland. We were a group of students just out for some fun. 21 we all had different cravings(渴望), we 22 to split up and get what each of us wanted.

When my friend Robby 23 for a hot dog stand, I decided to keep her 24. But when she took out her money to pay him, the man 25 us.

“It looks a little on the cool side,” he said, “so 26 mind paying me. This will be free.”

We said our thanks and 27 our friends in the park. But as we talked and ate, I was distracted by a man 28 alone nearby, looking at us. I could tell that he hadn’t showered for days. Another 29 person, I thought.

But when Robby and I went to the garbage can to 30 my lunch bag, I heard a 31 voice ask, “There isn’t any food in the bag, is there?”

It was the man who had been watching us, with no 32 in his voice at all. He was obviously hungry, couldn’t 33 to see anything thrown away, and was 34 to asking this question.

Robby said, “Please wait for me for a minute,” and ran off. I watched 35 as she went across to the hot dog stand. Then I 36 what she was doing. She bought a hot dog and gave the hungry man the food.

When she came back to us, Robby said 37, “I was just passing on the 38 that someone gave to me.”

That day I learned how 39 can go farther than the person you give to. 40 giving, you teach others how to give also.

It was a cold, wet day on June 6th, 2007, when 14-year-old Wasana arrived at school. Waiting outside his classroom for his classmates to 　 31　 ,Wasana stared at the 　 32　 ,then his eyes fell upon the 18-metre-high hill that 　 33　 at the back of the classroom.

He 　 34　 large amounts of rainwater flowing down the hill, and water was also bubbling at the base of a rock on the hill. For a few minutes, Wasana 　 35　 the water, wondering why it looked so 　 36　 . Then it hit him—the 　 37　 was similar to the video he was shown during Disaster Management classes. Fearing a 　 38　 disaster, he shouted 　 39　 at the students waiting outside their classrooms. “Run, run, don’t stay here! The 　 40　 on the hill is going to fall on us! ”

Chaos broke out as the 　 41　 ran to the open area that had been appointed as an emergency gathering point. When some teachers 　 42　 Wasana, he showed them the water gushing from the hill, and they started leading the students to safer ground.

Just then Principal Gurusinghe drove into the school. Wasana ran over to tell him what was happening. After 　 43　 the site, Grrusinghe knew the school was in　 44.　 The enormous rock at the top of the hill could come crashing down 　 45　 .

　 46　 a group of teachers and older students Gurusinghe climbed the hill and tried to make the water flow away from the rock. They were too 　 47　 : ten minutes later, they heard screams as the huge rock rushed down the hill. There was little Grrusinghe and his group could do as they watched the earth 　 48　 their classrooms. Thanks to Wasana’s 　 49　 action and careful observation, 　 50　 was hurt in the accident.

In 1947 the pilot of a small aeroplane saw nine strange objects in the sky over Washington. He said that they looked like    21   . Newspapers printed his story under the   22    "Flying Saucers".

Since then, all over the world, people have  23    seeing similar strange objects. No one knows  24   they are or where they come from. Some people say that they do not   25  , but many others say that they have seen them. Usually people on the ground have seen them  26  not always. Airline   27    also have reported seeing them and so have   28    ── the men who fly in spaceships.

Perhaps some people saw them only in their   29  . Perhaps some people made a mistake. But airline pilots and astronauts do not usually make   30    of this kind. Captain Ed Mitchell, who was the sixth man to  31    on the moon, said in 1974 that he believes that some "flying saucers" are  32   . Many other people now believe that these   33    flying objects are visiting the   34    from other worlds in space.   

The American government   35    to find out more about these objects. It listened to a great many people who said they had  36   them. But the Government Committee could not decide on what the objects were. It called them UFOs, which is   37   for "Unidentified Flying Objects".

In 1964, a driver of a police car in New Mexico saw a UFO landing a mile away. When he reached it, there were two small figures   38    near it. They looked like little men. When he reported on his radio, they got inside the object and   39  away.

There are many other   40   stories. Some are probably untrue but some may be true. No one knows.

On August 26, 1999, New York City was struck by a terrible rainstorm. The rain caused the streets   21  and the subway system almost came to a stop.

Unfortunately, this happened during the morning rush hour. Many people who were going to work were  22  to go home. Some battled to  23  a taxi or to get on a bus. Still others faced the   24  bravely, walking miles to get to work.

I   25  to be one of people on the way to work that morning. I went from subway line to subway line only to find that most  26  had stopped. After making my way  27  crowds of people. I finally found a subway line that was   28  . Unfortunately, there were so many people waiting to   29  the subway that I could not even get down the stairs to the   30  . So I took the train going in the opposite direction, and then switched back to the downtown train. Finally, after what seemed like forever, the train  31  my stop. Then I had to walk several blocks in the increasingly heavy rain. When I got to my office, I was   32  through, exhausted and  33  .

My co-workers and I spend most of the day drying off. When it was 5:00 pm, I was ready to go home. I was about to turn off my computer  34  I received an email from Garth, my Director.

I would like to thank all of you who made the effort and   35  reported to work. It is always reassuring（令人欣慰）, at times like these, when employees so clearly show their  36  to their jobs. Thank you.

Garth’s email was short, but I learned more from that  37  message than I ever did from a textbook. The email taught me that a few words of   38  can make a big difference. The rainstorm and the traffic  39  had made me tired and upset. But Garth’s words immediately   40  me and put a smile back on my face.
