During my second year of college, I was looking around for a place to live. One Sunday after church, the
pastor (牧师) told me to stay in his daughter"s room because his daughter was studying abroad for one year.
To be 1 , I really didn"t want to stay with"the pastor"s family". He told me how much the 2 would
be-a very low figure that 3 one home-cooked meal a day. I thought about the 4 and decided to move in.
At the end of the term I had planned to find 5 living place, since the daughter was to 6 home. To my
delight, they 7 that I share a room with their son. I seemed to have been adopted into their 8 -their people
became my people. I 9 accepted the offer.
As I emptied the daughter"s bedroom, I thought it might be 10 to have a little sister to look after. But
when I later met my new sister, I 11 that she was more independent than I first 12 .
We finally fell in love, 13 , and have looked after each other for many years. There have been times that
life turned out more 14 than either of us could have known. But we have al- ways been able to go 15
largely because we knew that we are deeply 16 .
It isn"t about marriage-lt"s about 17 . It"s about mothers and fathers, sisters and brothers and special
friends who are as 18 as family. It"s about anybody who can say, "I"ll be 19 - you can count on me. I"ll
try to look after you and sometimes I will need you to look after me.
Is there somebody you can depend on? And are others count ing on you? We travel the path of life best
when there is 20 to look after, and when someone is looking after us. |

James shook his money box again. Nothing! He carefully 1 the coins that lay on the bed. $24.52 was all
that he had. The bicycle he wanted was at least $90! 2 on earth was he going to get the 3 of the money?
He knew that his friends all had bicycles. It was 4 to hang around with people when you were the only
one without wheels. He thought about what he could do. There was no 5 asking his parents, for he knew
they had no money to 6 .
There was only one way to get money, and that was to 7 it. He would have to find a job. 8 who would
hire him and what could he do? He decided to ask Mr. Clay for advice, who usually had 9 on most things.
"Well, you can start right here," said Mr. Clay. "My windows need cleaning and my car needs washing."
That was the 10 of James"s odd-job (零工) business. For three months he worked every day after finishing
his homework. He was amazed by the 11 of 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 12 of cars he washed and windows he
cleaned, but the 13 increased and he knew that he would soon have 14 for the bicycle he longed for.
The day 15 came when James counted his money and found $94.32. He 16 no time and went down to the
shop to pick up the bicycle he wanted. He rode 17 home, looking forward to showing his new bicycle to his
friends. It had been hard 18 for the money, but James knew that he valued his bicycle far more 19 he had
bought it with his own money. He had 20 what he thought was impossible, and that was worth even more than
the bicycle. | ( )1. A. cleaned

Mrs. Neidl would ask me for my 2 . She wanted to know how I thought we should 3 things. At first
I had no idea how to answer because I knew 4 about stage design! But I slowly began to respond to her
5 . It was cause and effect: She believed I had opinions, so I began to 6 them. She trusted me to complete
things, so I completed them perfectly. She loved how 7 I was, so I began to show up to paint more and
more. She believed in me, so I began to believe in myself.
Mrs. Neidl"s 8 that year was, "Try it. We can always paint over it 9 !" I began to take 10 . I had been
so afraid of failing but suddenly there was no failing-only things to be 11 upon. I learned to dip my brush into
the paint and 12 create something.
The shy, quiet freshman achieved success that year. I was 13 in the program as "Student Art Assistant"
because of the time and effort I"d put in. It was that year that I 14 I wanted to spend the rest of my life doing
stage design.
Being on that stage-design team 15 Mrs. Neidl changed me completely. Not only was I stronger and more
competent than I had thought, but I also 16 a strong interest and a world I hadn"t known existed. She taught

was my stepmother.
I was nine years old when she entered our home in rural Virginia. My father 1 me to her with these
words:"I would like you to meet the fellow who is 2 for being the worst boy in this county and will probably
start throwing rocks at you no 3 than tomorrow morning."
My stepmother walked over to me, 4 my head slightly upward, and looked me right in the eye. Then she
looked at my father and replied, "You are 5 . This is not the worst boy at all, 6 the smartest one who hasn"t
yet found an outlet (释放的途径) for his enthusiasm."
That statement began a(n) 7 between us. No one had ever called me smart. My family and neighbors had
built me up in my 8 as a bad boy. My stepmother changed all that.
She changed many things. She 9 my father to go to a dental school, from which he graduated with honors.
She moved our family into the county seat, where my father"s career could be more 10 and my brother and I
could be better 11 .
When I turned fourteen, she bought me a secondhand 12 and told me that she believed that I could become
a writer. I knew her enthusiasm, I 13 it had already improved our lives. I accepted her 14 and began to write
for local newspapers. I was doing the same kind of 15 that great day I went to interview Andrew Carnegie and
received the task which became my life"s work later. I wasn"t the 16 beneficiary (受益者). My father became
the 17 man in town. My brother and stepbrothers became a physician, a dentist, a lawyer, and a college
president.
What power 18 has! When that power is released to support the certainty of one"s purpose and is 19

I could 10 that this whole experience was 11 to him. But I somehow knew it wouldn"t be right to 12

The days flew by fast. When the "last dance" came, surprisingly, the boy from under the tree was now a
