Chicago neighborhood street. He was going a bit too fast in his shiny, black, 12 cylinder Jaguar XKE,
which was only two months old.
He was watching for kids rushing out from between parked cars and slowed down when he thought
he saw something. As his car passed, no child came out, but a brick sailed out and-WHUMP!-it hit the
Jag"s shiny black side door! SCREECH…!!!! Immediately Josh stopped the car, jumped out, seized the
kid and pushed him up against a parked car. He shouted at the kid, "What was that all about and who
are you? Just what the heck are you doing?!" Building up a head of steam, he went on."That"s my new
Jag, that brick you threw is going to cost you a lot of money. Why did you throw it?"
"Please, mister, please… I"m sorry! I didn"t know what else to do!" begged the youngster. "I threw
the brick because no one else would stop!" tears were streaming down the boy"s face as he pointed
around the parked car."It"s my brother, mister," he said."He rolled of the curb (路沿) and fell out of his
wheelchair and I can"t lift him up." Sobbing, the boy asked the businessman, "Would you please help me
get him back into his wheelchair? He"s hurt and he"s too heavy for me."
Moved beyond words, the young businessman tried hard to swallow the rapidly swelling lump in his
throat. Straining, he lifted the young man back into the wheelchair and took out his handkerchief and
wiped the scrapers and cuts, checking to see that everything was going to be OK. He then watched the
younger brother push him down the sidewalk toward their home.
It was a long walk back to the black, shining 12 cylinder Jaguar XKE-a long and slow walk. Josh
never did fix the side door of his Jaguar. He kept the dent (凹痕) to remind him not to go through life
so fast that someone has to throw a brick at him to get his attention. Feel for the bricks of life coming
at you.

12 the day she was to leave for home, she got up early in the morning and 13 back a pickle (泡菜)

| "BANG!" the door caused a reverberation (回声). It was just standing there, with father standing on one side, and I on the other side. We were both in great anger. "Never set foot in this house again!" stormed father. With tears welling up in my eyes, I rushed out of the flat and ran along the street. The street lights were shining, causing rather sad feelings. I wandered aimlessly. A young father who held a child in his arms walked past me. I felt as if I saw my childhood from another space: happy and care-free. But now...I don"t know whether it is because I have grown up or because dad is getting old. We differ in our ways of thinking. He always put his opinions and codes of behavior on me. Whenever he do something wrong, he never admits it. We are just like two people coming from two different worlds. It feels like there is an iron door between us that can never be opened. I wandered the streets, without a destination in mind. My heart was frozen on this hot summer night. As I walked on, there were fewer and fewer people on the streets, until I had only the street lights to keep me company. When I finally reached the high-rise apartment block in which I lived, I saw that the light was still on. I thought to myself:"Is father waiting for me, or is he still angry with me?" In fact, it was nothing. Perhaps, dad was throwing away some of his old stamps. Perhaps he thought they were useless. I never had the courage to tell him that I liked collecting stamps. I can"t stand his outrageous (蛮 横的)words:"I can"t throw you away, let alone these old papers!" All the lights were off except father"s. Dad was always like this. Maybe he didn"t know how to express himself. After shouting at me, he never showed any mercy or any moment of regret. After an argument he has the habit of creeping up in my sleep and then tucking (帮助盖被子) me underneath the covers. This was how he always was. He has been a leader for so long that telling everyone else what to do has become his second nature. The light was still on. "Am I wrong?" I whispered, maybe... With the key in hand, I was as nervous as I had never been. At last, I decided to open the door. As soon as I opened the door tears ran down my cheeks. I suddenly realized that the iron door that I had imagined between us did not exist at all. Love-it"s second to none. | |||||||||||||||||

| One day, a train was approaching the small town of Cheekyville. On the train was a 1 man with a big suitcase, He was called William Warbler and he looked very 2 indeed. But what made him most unusual was the fact that whenever he needed to 3 , he did so by singing opera. Even if someone said "good day" to him, he would clear his throat and 4 : "Goood dayyy to youuuuuu to00000!"… Almost everyone considered William unusual, since no one could get a normal 5 word out of him. And, as no one knew how he made his living-and he lived quite 6 , always wearing his old second-hand suit-they often had no 7 for him and sometimes even made fun of him. William had been in Cheekyville for some years, when, one day, a rumor (谣言) 8 that William had 9 a role in a very important opera in the nation"s capital, that there had been posters everywhere 10 the event, that nearly everyone in the capital had gone to see it, and that it had been a great 11 . And to everyone"s surprise, when William was being 12 by reporters, he answered their questions by speaking 13 singing. And he did it with good 14 and with a clear and pleasant voice. From that day on, William 15 singing at all hours. He sang only during his stage appearances. Some people had an idea 16 he had changed, but others still had none, and continued believing him to be somewhat mad. They wouldn"t have thought so 17 they had seen what William kept in his big suitcase. It was a large stone, with a hand-carved message on it. The message said: "Practice, my boy. Practice every second, for you never know when your 18 will come." Little did people 19 that he only got the role in the opera because the 20 had heard William singing while out buying a newspaper. | |||||||||||||||||
