Then he found an unexpected email in hisinbox. Could he realize his dream late? Sean was now nearly 40, alone and poor. He dreamed of being a police officer for a long time and never made it.

During the years, he changed several jobs but nothing made him really 35 . His heart really wasn't in the job or marriage. Actually, he had never really given up his childhood 36 to become a policeman. His wife could not bear this and left him when Sean was 39 years old. Sean was 37 to move back to St. Ignace, where his dad lived. "I feel like a failure," Sean says. He was sad and lost 25 pounds in a few months.When his father encouraged him to search for a new job, the opportunity came. Phoenix was in great need of police officers and one of Sean's old friends emailed him, "Do you still want to be a police officer?" "Phoenix was a world away - 2100 miles from St. Ignace," says Sean.

The atmosphere（气氛）on the three-hour bus ride was exciting as the team only thought of 1 . However, the excitement turned into shock as they walked off the bus and stared（盯着）in disbelief at their strong Greek-god-like opponents（对手）. Halfway through the meet, Coach Huey realized that he had no swimmers for one of the events."Okay team, who wants to swim the five-hundred-yard freestyle?" the coach asked.Several hands went up, including Justin Rigsbee's. "I'll race, Coach!"The coach looked down at the young boy and said, "Justin, this race is twenty lengths of the pool. I've only seen you swim eight.""Oh, I can do it, Coach. Let me try."Coach Huey finally agreed, not 2 though.

The winners got together to socialize while our group 4 to finish. After four more long minutes, the last tired members of our team got out of the water. The last except for Justin.Justin was 5 breaths as his hands hit the water and pushed it aside to move his thin body forward. It appeared that he would go under at any minute, yet something seemed to keep pushing his onward."Why doesn't the coach stop this child?" the parents spoke among themselves. "He looks like he's not going to make it, and the race was won four minutes ago."But what the parents did not realize was that the real race, the race of a boy becoming a man, was just 6 .The coach walked over to the young swimmer and quietly spoke. The parents thought, "Oh, he'sfinally going to pull that boy out before he kills himself." But to their 7 , the coach stepped back from the pool's edge, and the young man continued to swim.One teammate, inspired by his brave friend, went to the side of the pool and walked the lane as Justin continued. "Come on, Justin, you can do it! Keep going! Don't give up!" He was joined by another, then another, until the whole team was walking the length of the pool cheering for and 8 their teammate to finish the race set before him. Their opponents saw what was happening and 9 them. Soon the room was full of energy and excitement as teammates and opponents alike gave courage to one small swimmer.Twelve long minutes after the starting whistle had blown, a tired but 10 Justin Rigsbee swam his final lap and pulled himself out of the pool.

He wouldn’t let the baby eagle lose his _31_ . The eagle nest (巢) was down because of last night’s storm. If Frank was still alive, he would have been out here, instead of staying inside like Sam—Josh’s stepfather (继父). Mum and Sam tried to make Josh happy. But Josh still felt like a __32__ in his own home.A sound broke into Josh’s thoughts. It was a baby eagle, right beside his foot. He hurried home with him. After a quick look, Sam said, “He’s not __33_ . But we should return him to his parents as quickly as possible.”“I saw some wood in the yard. Could you help build a new nest?” Sam continued. Josh nodded. Together they __34__ a wooden box. Then they went to rest the box in the tree. While Sam was helping Josh with the necessary tools, he said, “I wish I could do this instead of you, but I’d probably just fall out of the tree.”Josh _35__ Sam was worried. “I’ll be okay,” he comforted him. “See? I have the safety rope. Even if I miss my foot ing, it will hold me.” As Josh tried to put the box into place, the mother eagle swooped (俯冲) down. Josh ducked—and he started to fall. 36 , the safety rope held him. “Are you all right?” Sam shouted. “Yes,” Josh called, “send the bird up!”Finally, Josh was back with Sam, watching the eagles circle above the new nest. They started to cheer as the eagles seemed to land, but the great birds flew away at the last minute. If the eagles didn’t accept the new home, the baby eagle would be left alone after all—and their 37 was wasted. “What are they waiting for?” Josh asked unhappily.“They’re being careful.” Something in Sam’s voice made Josh look at his stepfather. “It’s not easy to __38__ change,” Sam went on. “It’s hard to trust Golden Flowers Josh thought about that. Sam could never take the place of Frank, but perhaps he could be a friend. Friends helped each other through hard times. Josh remembered how he and Sam had worked together and how 39 Sam had been for his safety.“She’s coming in,” Sam cried.

Why didn't Mum have a stocking?She had told us when she was a little girl her family didn't hang stockings on Christmas Eve.

He was a naught boy who liked making fun of other classmates. They didn't like this but could do nothing.One day, after the science class, Suraj went to fool one of his classmates, Kiran. Kiran felt 1 and just sat on the chair. As soon as their math teacher arrived to the class, Suraj moved back to his place quickly. The class started and the 2 was asking some questions to the students.And it happened. Suraj wet his pants! He felt very ashamed. He 3 how his classmates would think about him. His wet pants would be the hot topic of the school! His friends would talk about this for years. The girls in the class would never look at him as a friend. The boys and girls would never speak with him. He would become the joker for everyone in the class. Suraj's imagination was going so wild.The math teacher noticed a kind of uneasiness in Suraj. She was watching him for a few minutes and 4 him in some kind of trouble. Suraj noticed the teacher watching him and tried to act normal. He felt that his heart would stop beating very soon. He 5 pleaded（恳求）. "Dear God, you have to help me. In 5 or 10 minutes, I will be dead. I really need some 6 from you."The teacher again saw that Suraj was uneasy and she looked at him. He smiled at her. Kiran made a request to let him drink some water. 7 , Kiran from the back chair took his water bottle and started to move out of the classroom. As he crossed Suraj's desk, he dropped the water bottle. The cap opened and all water fell on Suraj.It surprised everyone greatly and the teacher 8 to help Suraj. She asked a student to get a towel from her office.His friends cleaned the desk and helped him. The teacher asked another student to bring a pair of gym pants for him to wear until his pants got dry. The act of being laughed at suddenly became sympathetic（同情的）. When Kiran tried to help him, he was cornered. The teacher punished him for being so 9 .And of course, Suraj was so relaxed. He looked at Kiran, who stood silently in a corner.After school, Suraj walked to Kiran and thanked him with all his heart. Kiran Smiled and said, "Hey, I know buddy!

The first grade teacher gave her class a fun assignment (作业,任务)－to draw a 31 of something for which they were grateful (感激的).Most of the class might be considered not rich, but still many would celebrate the holiday with turkey and other traditional goodies (甜食) of the season. These, the teacher thought, would be the32 of most of her students’ art. And they were.But Douglas made a different kind of picture. Douglas was a different kind of boy. He was the teacher’s true child of misery (痛苦), weak and 33 . As other children played atbreak, Douglas was likely to stand close by her side. One could only guess at the 34Douglas felt behind those sad eyes.Yes, his picture was different. When asked to draw a picture of something for which he was35 , he drew a hand. Nothing else. Just an empty hand.His abstract (抽象的) picture raised the 36 of his classmates. Whose hand could it be? One child guessed it was the hand of a farmer, because farmers feed turkeys. Another suggested a police officer, because the police protect and care for people. And so the discussion went－until the teacher almost 37 the young artist himself.When the children had gone on to other assignments, she stopped at Douglas’ desk, bent (弯曲) down, and asked him whose hand it was. The little boy looked 38 and said in a low voice, “It’s yours, teacher.” She remembered the times she had taken his hand and walked with him here and there, as she had the other students. How often had she said, “39 my hand, Douglas, we’ll go outside.” Or, “Let me show you how to hold your pencil.” Or, “Let’s do this together.” Douglas was most thankful for his teacher’s hand.With tears in her eyes, she went on with her work.The story speaks of more than thankfulness. It says something about teachers teaching and parents parenting and friends showing friendship, and how much it means to the Douglases of the world. They might not always say thanks, but they’ll remember the hand that 40 out.31. A. map B. picture C. cartoon D. postcard32. A. classes B. lessons C. objects D. subjects33.

She had been waiting in the door with her coat on. She had curled her hair and was wearing her best dress and smiled like an angel. “I told my friends that I was going out with my son, and they were impressed. ” she said, as she got into the car. “They can't wait to33 about our meeting. ”We went to a restaurant that, although not big, was very nice. After we sat down, I had to readthe 34 . Her eyes could only read large print.“I used to have to read the menu when you were small,” she said.“Then it's time that you 35 and let me return the favor,” I responded.During the dinner, We had an agreeable conversation—nothing special but events of eachother's life. We talked so 36 that we missed the movie.Late that night I drove her back. As we arrived, she said, “I'll go out with you again, but only if you let me 37 you. ” I agreed.“How was your dinner date?” asked my wife when I got home. “Very nice. Much more sothan I could have imagined,” I answered.A few days later, my mother died of a serious heart disease. It happened so suddenly that Ididn't have a 38 to do anything for her. Some time later, I received an envelope with a copy of a restaurant receipt from the same place where mother and I had dined. A note in it said: “I've already paid this bill. I wasn't sure that I could be there; but nevertheless, I paid for two plates one for you and the other for your wife. You will never know what that night 39 for me.

It was clear she was wondering why I asked such a 31 . While I waited for Jenna to answer, I started imagining what life would be like without her. Losing Jenna would be like losing a very close sister. We played together. We gave each other advice.“Of course, we’ll still be friends when we’re eighty-two,” Jenna replied loudly. We looked at each other and then 32 so hard that tears ran down my face.The next year, in the fourth grade, we met Jamie. The three of us soon became best 33 . We played together almost every day. We laughed together, cried together and shared our biggest secrets.I thought e ven time couldn’t pull us apart（分开）.The three of us started fighting a lot. Before Christmas, we had a really big fight, and Jamie and Jenna were against me, both saying I was bossy（霸道的）. They wouldn’t even talk to me at school. I felt helpless and lonely. I thought Christmas would be 34 ! Why is this happening to me?I thought.I was 35 when Jenna came to my house and gave me a Christmas card she had made for me. I was so sure that she was still disappointed with me, but now I was getting a really special card made by herself.“Wow,” I said, 36 the silence as we stood on either side of my front door. “Thanks.”“Okay . . . well . . . I have to go,” she said 37 .“Okay. See you later then. . . .” and I closed the door and 38 back to my mom’s bedroom to finish watching a movie.“Who was that at the door?” my mom asked.“It was Jenna,” I explained, showing her the card.The 39 started with “Merry Christmas”, but then, it said, “Dear Miranda, I am so glad we’re friends. I am sorry about what I said when we were fighting. A fight won’t stop us from being friends. Besides, we said we were going to be friends even when we’re eighty-two.”I stopped reading and started laughing. I couldn’t believe I had 40 what she said that day in her backyard.
