I was in high school at the time and my sister was too 38 to take part. She wanted to 39 , so she made sixty cookies for us to take and 40 to people. When we got to the homeless shelter we passed out the remaining 41 we had left. Next, we began making sandwiches and pairing them with other goodies(好吃的东西)and 42 them with the crowd. I had the cans with my sister’s cookies in them and began to walk around, offering them to anyone near me.
I 43 an older gentleman and said, “Sir, would you like a 44 ?”He stopped and turned around, 45 ，“What did you say? Did you call me sir?” And I told him I had, and his eyes watered a little bit and he said, “No one has ever called me sir. 46 ”

An unforgettable experience
It was a cold winter day. I rushed down the busy road towards the bus stop. Taxis passed me one after another 36I didn’t have enough money to get one. My wallet was in my pocket but 37 I had was a five-yuan note. Taking a bus would 38three, so I would be left with only 39to buy something to eat. I was very hungry as I had only eaten one meal all day. Waiting at the bus stop, I 40eagerly for a store 41I could buy food. Then I heard an old woman’s voice 42
behind me, “Steamed corn(蒸玉米)！Steamed corn！One yuan each!” Her voice was breaking and 43deep despair. Staring at the old woman, I felt pity. She was 44,just like a beggar. But she was much older than the other beggars in the street. Her face was 45and her eyes were full of tears. Her large withered(干枯的) fingers kept a tight hold on her basket of steamed corns. What had happened to her? Why was a woman 46selling corns on such a cold evening? I felt sad. I had to do something. I took the five-yuan note from my wallet and handed it to her. She had said each steamed corn cost one yuan, so I could buy 47. But if I did that, I would have nothing 48to pay for the ticket. I wouldn’t be able to get home. Finally, I decided to give the woman two yuan for one steamed corn, 49my pity for her. To my surprise, she refused to accept the 50one yuan, saying she wanted to work for her money. She was already 51to me because I was the only person to buy steamed corns from her all day.
I was 52moved. She was so old and weak but chose to sell snacks 53beg. From that moment, I had 54for her, and didn’t feel pity any more. The corn was sweet and delicious. But 55made me happier was that I helped a respectable old woman as much as I could.

It has been incredibly 37 this year here in my back-yard．Our lilac tree has 38 the most blooms I have ever seen．The scent （香味） is so wonderful that I spend a lot of time just standing on our small deck 39 it all in．
Many of the 40 are hollow and almost broken, leaving me to believe it has 41 _ many springs．A few winters ago one of the bigge
st branches crashed to the ground under the 42 of melting snow．It 43 my heart．I guess I wasn’t 44 much from the old thing this year．But it is magnificent!
Since we have been 45 so much rain lately the flowers have become heavier．The 46_ tall branches seem to be under a lot of pressure．I can relate to that．There are big gaps because the branches are 47．
48 , today I noticed the first bunch of flowers turning brown．It won’t be long 49 _ they are all gone．But here’s what I’ve learned from it．
Some people are like fragrant flowers．They come into our lives ever so 50 and leave behind a scent that stays in our being．They 51 your day by just having had contact with them even if for a moment．You cannot possibly 52 a day without thinking about them．Their beautiful 53 gently touches your heart each time you hear their name．In the coldest, darkest days of the winter of my life, the 54 of them will get me through it all and bring a smile to my face and I will have “spring forever in my 55．”

A friend of mine met with an accident driving in darkness. His legs were so hurt that he couldn’t move. What was the 31 was he found himself unable to ask for help — his mobile phone went out of 32 as a result of exhausted (用尽的)battery. Nothing could be done but 33 in cold wilderness. It was 8 hours later that day broke, and then the 34 of the rescue.
It is almost 35 that he could stand the horror in the darkness for so long. Even more surprising was his 36 : "First of all I checked up my 37 conditions and found myself not in mortal （致命的）danger. As there was no 38 to call for help ,I leaned back in my seat trying my best to keep the wound from 39 .In this way I dozed （打盹）off ."
His story put an end to my regret for the 40 of an exploration adventure that happened last year.
