Last weekends, my kids along with few other kids from the neighborhood volunteered to help me wash my car. My 10-year-old daughter came up with the idea of 31 other people’s cars as well. It was pretty 32 outside and I had no plans to 33 to be in the bright sun. She 34 wanted to give lemonade（柠檬汽水）to passersby for free. I had seen little kids 35 and sell fresh lemonade for a small cost but not free. Although I felt 36 , I decided to help her. 37 she asked me, “What if we 38 this a smile car wash?” I couldn’t hold back my tears and 39 her and the other kids to go outside the house and come up with 40 ideas. While I kept myself busy in drying the car, the gang walked up to me with a(n) 41 with beautiful images of smiles. They had “Free Car Wash” written on it and the 42 of their exercise was “smile”. It was pretty neat to see a team of kids ranging 5－11 years with the 43 to do something for others.
All that seemed 44 and came right from their heart. Nothing seemed to 45 to them: their playtime, the heat outside—they just wanted to 46 others and do something nice in the community!
I helped them make some fresh lemonade and brought out some additional 47 to help clean cars. The passersby were 48 and one even shouted back to them saying “God Bless You, my kids…” One of them even tried giving them 5 dollars, which they refused. A pretty heartwarming 49 ! I feel blessed by being 50 by such wonderful and loving souls.

I’m going to give you some pills that should help. I want you to 53 one after dinner and one half an hour 54 you go to bed tonight. Call me tomorrow and tell me 55 you feel.
56 Mrs. Green telephoned, “Doctor, I had the first 57 night’s sleep in two months. What is in this pills 58 ?” The doctor said, “It is an old formula（配方） I have 59 for years. Just 60 taking them for a week.” Turning to the nurse, he said, “It’s wonderful what a little baking soda（苏打） can do.”

Everyone wants to be a pop star. When I was a kid, I wanted to be a pop star. 71 You get to sing and dance and make voices. People are willing to pay you tons of money and, of course, many fans love you. It’s a perfect life; what could be the problems?
72 And one of the biggest problems is “crazy” fans who live their idols (偶像) too much. Andy Lau, the Hong Kang superstar, experienced that last year. A fan was so crazy about Andy that she persuaded her parents to spend all their money and travel to Hong Kang to meet him. Andy is a nice man so he met the girl and talked with her for a few minutes.
That should have been the end of the story, but it wasn’t! 73 In despair (绝望), the father jumped into the sea and said it was because Andy Lau had made him poor and had made his daughter a “crazy” fan. It’s a very sad story and it shows what can happen when ordinary people become crazy pop fans.
We like famous persons, and we enjoy listening to them. 74 And some people think that, since they love the pop star, the pop star should love then back.. That’s crazy! 75 They have their own families and friends. Their job is to entertain us, not to love us. So, don’t be a “crazy” fan, be a good fan, and just appreciate the joy, the happiness and the excitement that your favorite pop star bring you.
A．Well, clearly, there are lots of problems. B．Sometimes we think we know them as well as we know our closest friends. C．It seems like the coolest job in the world. D．The family had spent all their money to meet Andy and they had no money to return home.

We come by business naturally in our family. Each of the seven children in our family worked in our father’s store. 21 we worked and watched, we learned that work was about more than 22 and making a sale.
One lesson stands out in my 23 . It was shortly before Christmas. I was in eighth grade and was working evenings, straightening the toy section. A little boy, five or six years old, came in. He was 24 a brown torn coat with dirty sleeves. His shoes were scuffed and his one shoelace was torn. The little boy looked poor to me ---too poor to 25 to buy anything. He looked 26 the toy section, picked up this item and 27 , and carefully put them 28 in their place.
Dad came down the stairs and walked over to the boy. His blue eyes 29 and the dimple（酒窝） in his cheek stood out as he asked the boy what he could do for him. The boy said he was looking for a Christmas 30 to buy his brother. I was impressed that Dad treated him with the same respect as any adult. Dad told him to take his 31 and look around. He did.
After about 20 minutes, the little boy carefully picked up a toy 32 , walked up to my dad and said, “How much for this, Mister?”
“How much you got?” Dad asked.
The little boy held out his hand and 33 it. His hand was creased(起皱) with 34 line
s of dirt from holding his 35 too tightly. In his hand 36 two dimes, a nickel and two pennies—27 cents. The price on the toy plane he’d picked out was $3.98.
“That’ll just 37 it,” Dad said as he 38 the sale. Dad’s reply still 39 in my ears. When the little boy walked out of the store, I didn’t notice the dirty, worn coat or the single torn shoelace. What I saw was a happy child with a 40 .
