It's the seaside birds that deserve at least part of the blame for getting Nick Burchill blacklisted at the Fairmont Empress Hotel in Victoria, Canada.

That's when things went 29 ."I remember walking down the long 30 and opening the door to my room to find an entire flock of seagulls," Burchill said in a recent letter of 31 to the 4-star hotel. "The seagulls immediately went 32 . They rushed to the window, 30 or 40 birds all trying to 33 at the same time, and pepperoni-everywhere. The curtains were falling down, the lamps were falling down, It was a real 34 .
Older and wiser now, Burchill chalked up the incident to youthful indiscretion (莽撞).
"I have 35 and I admit responsibility of my 36 ," he said in the letter. "I come to you, 37 , to apologize for the-damage I had 38 caused and to ask you to 39 my lifetime ban from the hotel."
His letter 40 . Banned from the hotel since 2001.Burchill is now welcome to come back, the Fairmont said.

As the night wore on，people began to close their eyes，but the seats were so uncomfortable that only a very heavy sleeper could manage to get any 3 ．The woman looked over at the man．He was still staring at her．She looked back at him with fire in her eyes．I was beginning to get 4 ，too．
The train moved on．The little boy was 5 awake on his mother's lap，but the woman dropped off to sleep．A moment later，he began to 6 the half-open window-one leg went over it．The man jumped up and 7 the child just before he fell out．
The 8 woke up the woman．She seemed to be in 9，and then reality dawned （显现）．"Your child has been looking for an opportunity to climb out of the window，"the man said as he gave the child back to her. ．"So I have been watching the whole time．"The woman was 10 ，and so was I．

The journey my daughter Cathy has had with her swimming is as long as it is beautiful.
Cathy suffered some terrible 16 in her early childhood. After years of regular treatment, she 17 became healthy.
Two years ago, while Cathy was watching the Olympics, a dream came into her sweet little head-to be a swimmer. Last summer, she wanted to 18 out local swim team. She practiced hard and finally 19it. The team practice, 20was a rough start. She coughed and choked and could hardly 21her first few weeks. Hearing her coughing bitterly one night, I decided to 22 her from it all. But Cathy woke me up early next morning, wearing her swimsuit 23to go! I told her she shouldn't swim after a whole night's coughing, but she refused to 24 and insisted she go .
From that day on, Cathy kept swimming and didn't 25 a single practice. She had a 26intention within herself to be the best she could be. My ten-year-old was growing and changing right before my eyes, into this 27 human being with a passion and a mission. There were moments of 28 of course: often she would be the last swimmer in the race. It was difficult for Cathy to accept that she wasn't a 29 ---ever. But that didn't stop her from trying.
Then came the final awards ceremony at the end of the year. Cathy didn't expect any award but was still there to 30 her friends and praise their accomplishments. As the ceremony was nearing the end, I suddenly heard the head coach 31 , "The highest honor goes to Cathy!" Looking around, he continued, "Cathy has inspired us with her 32 and enthusiasm. 33skills and talents bring great success, the most valuable asset(财富)one can hold is the heart."
It was the greatest 34 of my daughter's life. With all she had been 35 in her ten years, this was the hour of true triumph(成功).
