Mom: It's in New York, too far away! Let me tell you, dear Donna. Tony's clinic is just several miles away. You don't need to travel (5)f if you work there. Tony is a nice young man and I guess you'll get married soon.
Dad: Ha! It's hard enough to live with a husband or wife. Working with them, (6)t ? That's a choice for trouble. Well, Donna, what do you think?
Donna: I'm thinking about (7)a the offer from Backwoods Hospital.
Dad: But Donna, look at their offer! You'll be on call(随时待命) six days a week. That's really a (8)h job.
Mom: Oh, Donna, the pay is another problem.
Donna: Mom and Dad, I didn't become a doctor for enjoying a comfortable life(9)o .
Dad: No? Then (10)w did you become a doctor?
Donna: I want to help people. You know that. And Backwoods serves the poor. Backwoods, here I come!

Read aloud and listen to the poem.Reading aloud will make the poem′s thythm clear.Besides,a poet′s reading is very helpful(7)b we can understand the poem's meanings from where the poet places emphasis(强调) or pauses(停顿).
After you finish reading a poem, take a few moments to consider(8)w it is saying.Sometimes its meanings are better understood(9)t repeated reading.Other times they need our careful and deep thought on a poem.
It is(10)h to say whether there's a right or wrong way to read poems, but reading practices will enrich your experience, increase your enjoyment, and deepen your understanding of any poem.

While I (86) (wait) outside the school gate,a little girl smiled sweetly at me and gave me a big hug.As I watched her (87) (run) away,I realized that she was the girl whom I gave a big push in the park.
So far,I (88) (not forget) her sweet smile and the warm hug that she gave me.
In fact,if we give love to others,love (89) (find) its way back to us.It may travel from heart to heart or it may blossom (开花)in the heart.The love we share,the kindness we (90) (give),and the happiness we create will come back to us with a pleasant surprise.
