My life, as it really is, is always filled with sadness and little joy. However, no matter what happens, I can always face it        .
In July, last year, I couldn't believe the news that I was       to enter the only key high school in my hometown. Then I rushed to my home and told my parents. But my father didn't seem as          as I was. He just kept smoking without saying a word and my mother put her head down and couldn't help _       .
What I saw didn't make me surprised. I knew very well _     my family was like. My mum had been in bed for two years because of her disease. I knew my family lived a hard life and couldn't afford my tuition fee(学费). I felt so upset at that moment but I could say          to my parents.
I decide to help my father with his work to support my family instead of        my schooling.
To my surprise, things completely changed just three days before the beginning of the new term. My head teacher who had taught me three years came to my family with some money, which had been raised(筹集) by my schoolmates. He encouraged me, “Always have     .”
At the same time, my father also earned some extra money, he tried his best to afford part of my tuition fee.
I knew I was such a lucky dog and decided to study harder in return. With tears in my eyes, I stepped into the key high school         I had dreamed of.
I have been studying hard since I entered the high school. Whenever I meet difficulties, I always think of my teacher and schoolmates, and I can always get enough courage to go on. Because I have a college dream and must work hard for it no matter how hard life is. Just as a saying goes, “When one door shuts,       opens in life.”

It was a cold afternoon in winter. My oldest son, Stephen, was at school, and Reed, my husband, at work. My          little ones were sitting around the kitchen table. Tom was perfecting a paper plane, while Sam was          on an oil painting.
But Laura, our only daughter, sat quietly and was          in her project. Every once in a while she would ask how to          the name of someone in our family, then carefully form the letters one by one. Next, she would add flowers with small items. She finished off each with a sun in the upper right hand corner. Holding them at eye level, she let out a long sigh (叹息) of        .
“What are you doing, Honey?” I asked. She looked quickly at her brother before looking back at me. “It’s a          .” she said, covering up her work with her hands.
Next, she put her work into a box. When she had finished, she disappeared up the stairs.
It wasn’t until later that evening that I            a “mailbox” taped onto the doors to each of our bedrooms. There were little notes saying that she loved all of us. She hadn’t          Sam or baby Paul. They are pages of colored scenes including flowers with happy faces. “He can’t read yet,” she whispered (低声说), “         he can look at the pictures.” Each time I received one of my little girl’s gifts, it          my heart. I was touched at how carefully she paid attention to what wrong happened to us. When Stephen lost a baseball game, there was a letter telling him she thought he was the best ballplayer in the whole world. After I had a          day, there was a message thanking me for my efforts.
This same little girl is grown now, driving off every day to the state college, but some things about her have        changed. Yesterday I found a love note next to my bedside. “Thanks for always being there for me, Mom,” it read, “I’m glad that we’re the best friends.”
There are angels among us. I know I live with one.

Peter kept his eyes on the grounds. He felt like there was a heavy weight on his shoulders as he walked home alone. It was the        day of his life. His       would not stop thinking about what happened only just an hour ago on the soccer field. How could he have missed scoring that goal? He had let his whole team down.      stupid mistake made him angry. His team had lost the game because of him. He was really worried that his coach might kick him off the team.
        he walked through the door, his father asked, “ What’s wrong, son?” Peter’s feeling were         all over his face. “I lost the game,” Peter replied. Then he went into his room         a        another word. Ten minutes later, Peter heard his father knocking on his bedroom door. He opened the door to let him in.
“Look, Peter. I don’t know what happened. But whatever it was, don’t be too        on yourself.”
“I lost the game, Dad. I       my team. They’ll       never let me play again.”
“Soccer is about team      . You’re not the only reason your team lost. If you have a good team, you should support each other. Besides, winning or losing is only half the game.          half is learning how to communicate with your teammates and learning from your mistakes.
Peter didn’t say anything, but what his father said made him think carefully.
The next day, Peter went to soccer practice with          rather than fear in his heart. “Hey, guys” he said to his teammates. “I’m really sorry about yesterday. We were so         to winning that game. But I think if we      to pull together, we’re going to win the next one.”
To his surprise and relief, his teammates all nodded in agreement.
“Yeah,” they said, “don’t worry about it. It’s never just one person’s fault. We should think about                 we can do better next time.”

A game of “catch” is just two people throwing a ball back and forth (来回地). They might have baseball                , or they might use their hands.In fact, playing catch is part of baseball           to make you get used to using a ball and a glove. But any American kid will tell you it’s much more than that.
Playing catch is a time for kids to be with their          . It’s a time when there’s nothing to worry about besides catching a ball. It’s a time when words move as smoothly as the ball itself back-and-forth, easy and relaxing. It’s an excuse to spend time           .When you ask some adults(成年人) to           the good memories of their dads, they nearly always say something about playing catch. Why? Probably because dads are usually very           with their work. A catch game is a time that is only for one thing. This is a time when a kid has his or her dad’s attention. There is no work, no phone and no other people around to take your dad away           you. For the time of playing a game of catch—your dad is all           .

Santa Can Come before Christmas
It was last June. I entered a supermarket to pick some vegetables，when a young man asked me，“Can you tell me where the        counter（柜台） is? ”
“Well， the milk is in the lower right corner，” I replied.
Picking up my things，I finally came to the milk counter where I met the same man        almost 10 bottles of milk.
I asked，“Do you need a basket or a trolley？”
“Sure，thank you.”he answered.
I was        he was still picking more bottles and after a few minutes his trolley had 24 bottles of milk.
I laughed and asked, ”Why so many bottles?”
He smiled and said, ”These are for my street  dogs.  Today, I want to be a Santa            them.”
I said,” Well ,it`s too             for you to be a Santa,It is still June and Christmas comes in December.”
He               at me and walked a few steps,as if he wanted to say something but he left the counter without saying anything.
        ,we met again at the bread counter.
“So these bread and cakes are also for the street dogs ,Mr.Santa.”
He smiled and said, ”Yes ,These are also for the dogs and I love to be Mr. Santa in the month of June, Santa is a representation(象征) of surprises and             . Santa comes in December as we              him around Christmas. But in real life there is a Santa in each one of us that shines through our personality at some point of time ,no matter which month it is.
