Even though he has been caught, the former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein is still causing trouble. His arrest ?　1　? as many questions as it has answers. Top of the list is 　2　 should happen to Saddam now, closely ?　3　? by calls for information from him about Iraq's weapons of mass destruction (毁坏).

He is currently being held by 　4　 troops at a secret place. The US says he will stand trial(审判) for his cruel actions during his years in 　5　.This is likely to take place at a court 　6　 two weeks ago by the US-backed Iraqi Governing Council.

The council's president Abdul Aziz al-hakim has warned Saddam could be executed (处死) if

“I think he ought to receive the 　9　 punishment for what he has done to people,” said US president George W. Bush,　10　 directly stating that Saddam should be put to death.

　　However, many 　11　,including Saddam's long time enemy Iran, believe he would receive a fairer trial in an international court.　12　 Britain, American's closest supporter, said it would not take part in any trial that could lead to Saddam's execution.

The UN Security Council has yet to 　13　 its position clear. But UN Secretary—General Kofi Annan ?　14　? say that “the UN does not support a death penalty.”

　　Besides 　15　a trial of Saddam, the world wants to see 　16　 the US and Britain can find the 　17　 weapons they gave as the 　18　 for the war in Iraq. Asked if Saddam's capture (捕获) could 　19　 a breakthrough (突破) in the hunt for the weapons of mass destruction, British Prime Minister Tony Blair said, “I think we should 　20　 what we're doing in Iraq.”

One day, a poor boy who was trying to pay his way through school by selling goods door to door found that he only had one dime (一角银币) left. He was hungry so he decided to 　 1　 for a meal at the next house. However, he lost his nerve when a lovely young woman opened the door. 　 2　 a meal he asked for a drink of water. She thought he looked 　 3　 so she brought him a large glass of milk. He drank it slowly, and then asked, “How much do I　 4　 you?” “You don’t owe me anything,” she replied, “Mother has taught me never to accept 　 5　 for a kindness.” He said, “Then I thank you from the bottom of my heart.” As Howard Kelly left that house, he not only felt stronger 　 6　 , but it also increased his faith in God and the human race. He was about to give up and 　 7　 before this point. Years later the young woman became critically ill. The 　 8　 doctors were baffled (阻挡). They finally sent her to the big city, where specialists can be called in to study her 　 9　 disease. Dr. Howard Kelly, now 　 10 was called in for the consultation (会诊). When he heard the name of the town she came from, a(an) 　 11 light filled his eyes. 　 12 , he rose and went down through the hospital hall into her room. Dressed in his doctor’s gown he went in to see her. He 　 13 her at once. He went back to the 　 14 room and determined to do his best to save her life. From that day on, he gave special 　 15 to her case.

After a long struggle, the battle was 　 16 . Dr. Kelly requested the business office to pass the final bill to him for approval. He looked at it and then 　 17 something on the side. The bill was sent to her room. She was 　 18 to open it because she was sure that it would take the rest of her life to pay it off. Finally she looked, and the note on the side of the bill 　 19 her attention. She read these words…

“Paid in full with a glass of 　 20 .”

(Singed) Dr. Howard Kelly

Tears of joy flooded her eyes as she prayed silently: “Thank you, God. Your love has spread through human hearts and hands.”

I’d been 16 for six days and was already prepared to deal with failure. I remember when my mum   36   me up that morning, her voice wasn’t as   37   as it usually was.

I stayed in bed for a few minutes. I was   38   to leave its warmth and comfort, and didn’t want to face the problem that I’d let myself   39   for the past six months. Finally, I dragged myself out of    40  .

I finished getting ready and tried to   41  . It didn’t work, so I decided that my   42   should go with me. We had a little time, so I thought we could practice parking. I   43  , with the wheel hitting the fence. After that, the little bit of confidence I’d had was   44  . I tried two more times, but didn’t   45   much. Then we headed to the test site.

    I went into a room for some paperwork. And I waited for 20 minutes—just   46   time to make myself believe that I was going to fail. Then, finally, it was my   47  . I just wanted to get it over and make sure that I had to come back next Thursday.

    I stepped outside and the sky was the light blue I love. It offered me some   48   and I realized something: something between when I pulled myself off the seat and when I got outside. I had become   49   and confident.

    The first thing I had to do was parking, which I did quite   50  . The confidence that came with it hit me like a wave. The rest of the test went well too and I   51   it all. As I drove back, the instructor told me I would not be coming back for a second   52   next Thursday.

    Back in the building I didn’t have to say a word. My mum knew just by looking at me. Her    53   made her face softer. And I’m sure it was at least as big as the smile on my face. Her eyes, 54  , looked kind of teary. I knew she was   55   for me.
