John had to go to work. So he set off half an hour 36 than usual and arrived at the library before anybody else. The 37 to come was Mr. Steele, who thought, “This must be a wonder. John is 38 the first he
re. If he came as 39 as this every morning, he would get a lot more 40 done.” John began to get on with his work and by half past nine he had 41 all the postcards he had to write. It was a quarter to ten, and Mary had not arrived 42. He wondered 43 she was ill or if she had taken the day 44. But Mr. Steele came and 45 him if he knew where Mary was. If she were ill, she would 46, he said. It’s not like her. She’s usually 47. John said that he had no 48 where Mary was. But 49 the door opened and there was Mary. She was looking very 50 and tired. She apologized to Mr. Steele and explained that she had been 51 most of the night. She hadn’t 52 to sleep until five in the morning and had overslept. Mr. Steele was very 53 and suggested that she take the day off. She 54 him and said she would stay, but she 55 said a word for the rest of the morning. John, on the other hand, was feeling happy so at one o’clock he suggested to Mary that they go and have lunch together, and she agreed.

As darkness fell, hundreds of people in the Swiss vill
age left their houses. They were staring 36 at the mountain top in the distance. It was covered with 37 , beautiful and dangerous.
The huge mountain is called Matterhorn. Mountain climbers had 38 the top, using the southern route. But no one had ever dared to try a winter climbing up the 39 side. But now one man was daring to try the 40 route. He was Walter Bonatti, a great mountain climber from Italy.
For two days he had climbed. The village people had watched him 41 . Now they were waiting to see his 42 . If he planned to 43 the next day, he would light a green signal. A red light would mean that he was 44 .
A tiny green light 45 high on the mountain side. Bonatti was not giving up! The people 46 .
The next day he 47 his way upward. He was so lonely and so tired! But he would not give up. Again that night he lit the 48 light.
In the morning, Bonatti looked up. He could not see the top, but he knew he was 49 there. 50 the climb was painful, he moved up.
Bonatti had spent months 51 for the climb. Was the training enough? Did he have the strength and 52 to climb to the top?
He was finally at the top! News about his 53 was radioed to the world.
The trip down the southern 54 was easy. He was warmly welcomed in the village. He had done the " 55 ", and would be well remembered as a climber of all time.

Thanksgiving Day was near. Lucy, the first grade teacher, gave her class a fun 36 — to draw a picture of somebody or something for which they were 37 . When the students 38
their assignment, she found most of them drew some pictures of their family, teachers, friends or neighbors.
Douglas, however, made a different kind of picture. He was a 39 boy. He didn’t act the same as others. He always seemed to be shy and sad. He 40 played with other children during the break 41 they kindly invited him to. Lucy treated him very well. She always helped him and 42 him to be confident. Yes, his picture was different. He just drew a 43 . Nothing else. His abstract image 44 the imagination of his classmates. Whose hand could it be? One guessed it was a mother’s hand, for mother’s hand gives children warmth and 45 . Another child guessed it was a police officer’s hand, because the police 46 people and care for people. And so the discussion 47 .
When the children were discussing it, Lucy paused at Douglas’ desk, 48 down, and asked him whose hand it was. The little boy murmured, “It’s 49 , teacher.” Douglas was most thankful for her hand. She was 50 and felt tears in her eyes. She thought of the times she had taken his hand and walked with him here or there. She 51 how often she had said to him, “Take my 52 , Douglas. We’ll go outside.” or “Let me show you how to hold your pencil.”
The story speaks of 53 thankfulness. It also says something about teachers teaching and parents parenting and friends showing friendship. They might not always say “ 54 ” out, but they’ll remember the hand that you 55 out to give them love and be grateful to you always.

My first job was at a local restaurant, where I worked for seven years and learned so many lessons, especially from a fellow 16 .
Helen was in her 30s and had extraordinary（非凡的） self-confidence, something I was really 17 . I looked up to Helen 18 she was doing what she loved— 19 people better. She always made everyone, customers（顾客） and co-workers（同事）, 20 and feel good.
Being a waitress changed my life. One of my 21 customers was Fred Hasbrook. He always ate an omelet（炒蛋）, and when I saw him _22 , I tried to have it on his table as soon as he sat down.
Thanks to the newfound confidence I 23 __from Helen, I dreamed of having my own __24 . But when I called my parents to ask for a loan（贷款）, they said, “We just don’t have the money.”
The next day, Fred saw me and asked, “What’s 25 ? You’re not smiling today.” I 26__my dream with him and said, “Fred, I know I can do more if somebody 27 just have faith in （信任）me.”
Before long he handed me checks 28 __$50,000—along with a note that I have to this day. It reads, “The only collateral（抵押品）on this loan is my trust（信任） in your 29 as a person. Good people with a dream should have 30 __to make that dream come true.”
I took the checks to Merrill Lynch, where the money was provided for me. I 31 __working at the restaurant, making 32 for the restaurant I would open. My plans soured（被破灭）, though, and I lost the 33 .
Later I decided to apply for a job at Merill Lynch. Even though I had no experience, I was__34 and ended up becoming a pretty good agent（代理商，代理人）. 35 ， I paid back Fred the $50,000, plus 14-percent annual interest（利息 ）. Five years later, I was able to open my own firm（公司）.

After that, he never carried me or hugged me as other fathers did to their children．I was not bothered much by this 41 ．I was proud of it，for I felt 42 and“grown up．” However, there were times when I felt depressed by not having sought 43 from him．

But you will never really know the answer to this question 37 you are tested in real life. Some people 38 they are brave but when they come face to face with real 39 , they act like cowards. Others think of themselves as cowards, but when they meet danger, they act like 40 .

When you are in a very dangerous situation and feel afraid, the body automatically produces a chemical in the blood. The chemical is called adrenalin. With adrenalin in the blood system, you actually feel stronger and stronger and are 48 to fight or run away. However, when you are absolutely terrified, the body can produce too much adrenalin. When this happens , the muscles become very hard and you find you can’t at all. You are then paralyzed (使无能为力) with fear. This is 49 when we are very frightened, we sometimes say we’re “petrified”. This word comes from the Greek word “petros”, which means “stone”. We are 50 frightened that we become stonelike.
