roared with laughter and clapped. Twenty-year-old Aleck gave the dog a morsel(一口) of food. His hard work
had paid off. His dog could talk!
Aleck was fascinated with the different sounds of people"s speech. His father taught students who had a
speech problem to improve their speech. Aleck paid close attention. Could an animal form sounds into words,
too? He decided to experiment with Trouve, the family dog.
The easy part was teaching Trouve to growl whenever Aleck wanted. The little dog growled for a morsel
of food.
Next Aleck moved the dog"s "lips" as it growled. It sounded like "ma ma ma". Trouve learned quickly to
stop the growling just as Aleck"s hand moved away. They practiced and practiced until the dog said "mama"
perfectly.
Soon Aleck discovered more. If he pushed gently under the dog"s jawbone (下颌骨), it made the "ga" sound.
If he pushed once and moved the dog"s lips twice, he could make the dog say, "ga ma ma." With even more
practice, it sounded like "grandmama". Whenever Trouve said "grandmama", Aleck gave the dog two treats, so
Trouve loved the lessons.
Aleck tried to teach his dog to move its tongue so that Trouve could say more words. That didn"t work,
but Aleck didn"t give up.
After many hours of practice, Trouve could say, "Ow ah oo ga-ma-ma?" This sounded just like "How are
you, Grandmama?"
Friends and neighbors traveled to see young Aleck and his amazing talking dog. Rumors spread that the dog
could speak by itself, which wasn"t true. No matter how much Aleck tried, the dog was never able to move its
lips without help.
Aleck"s full name was Alexander Graham Bell. He wanted to know more about the world all his life. He had
many ideas. Some worked; others didn"t. But he kept trying-always learning. One of his inventions was
something called the telephone.

passing day, everyone became more 1 , waiting for the final school bell. Upon its 2 , everyone would run
for their coats and go home, everyone except David.
David was a small boy in ragged (破旧的) clothes. I had often wondered what kind of home life David had,
and what kind of mother could send her son to school dressed so inappropriately for the cold winter months,
without a coat, boots, or gloves. But something made David 3 . I can still remember he was always 4 a
smile and willing to help. He always 5 after school to straighten chairs and mop the floor. We never talked
much. He 6 just simply smile and ask what else he could do, then thank me for letting him stay and slowly
head for home.
Weeks passed and the 7 over the coming Christmas grew into restlessness until the last day of 8 before
the holiday break. I smiled in relief (欣慰) as the last of them hurried out the door. Turning around, I saw
David 9 standing by my desk.
"I have something for you," he said and 10 from behind his back a small box. 11 it to me, he said anxiously,
"Open it." I took the box from him, thanked him and slowly unwrapped (打开) it. I lifted the lid and to my 12
saw nothing. I looked at David"s smiling face and back into the box and said, "The box is nice, David, but it"s
empty."
"Oh, no, it isn"t," said David. "It"s full of love. My mum told me before she died that love was something you
couldn"t see or touch unless you know it"s there."
Tears filled my eyes 13 I looked at the proud dirty face that I had rarely given 14 to. After that Christmas,
David and I became good friends and I never forgot the meaning 15 the little empty box set on my desk
