Life became hard when I was 14. My mother and I moved to New York to 36 my father, who’d moved there to find 37 work when I was three years old. He had a job at a restaurant and only visited us 38 every couple of years.
Before I moved, I knew that people in the US spoke English. But honestly, I didn’t stop to analyze the 39 when I was 40 to leave. Just like I assumed I could easily become a doctor or a lawyer. I assumed that I had the skills to learn English in a few weeks.
When I 41 in the US and started 8th grade at Ditmas Middle School in Brooklyn, everyone was speaking a(n) 42 language I couldn’t understand. I 43 that life had subtitles, like in foreign movies. School was such a serious place here. Sometimes I felt like I was in a geek（呆子） class. The teachers were always 44 my moves so I couldn’t even throw a paper ball at a classmate’s head. And the worst thing was having to read 45

If I was going to 48in this new concrete jungle, I had to 49 . I began to learn English by reading newspapers on my own 50 school. After about four months, I started enjoying reading the crime and sports stories. After six months of studying, my teachers 51 my improvement and moved me into a more 52 English class. I could go to the store and ask for things that I wanted to buy without 53 frustration. For the first time I felt like I was living on earth again 54 I didn’t hear foreign talk. I 55 understand people.

At the table next to mine sat an attractive, 3 couple, waiting for 4 . They held hands, whispered, kissed, and laughed. Suddenly they stood, picked up their 5 and stepped together6 the edge of where they were sitting to place the table in the sea water. The man stepped 7 for the two chairs. He politely 8 his lady in the knee-deep water and then sat down himself. All people around laughed and cheered.
9 appeared. He paused for just a second, walked into the water to 10 the table and take their 11 , and then walked back to the 12 cheers of the rest of his 13 . Minutes later he returned carrying a bottle of wine and two glasses. Without pausing, he went14 into the water to 15 the wine. The couple toasted（祝酒）each other, the waiter and the crowd.

As darkness fell, hundreds of people in the Swiss village left their houses. They were looking 16 at the mountain top in the distance. It was covered with ice and snow beautiful but 17 .
The huge mountain is called Matterhorn. The mountain climbers had 18 the top,using the southern route（路线）. But no one had ever 19 to try a winter climbing up the northern route. But now one man was daring（敢） to try the 20 route. He was Walter Bonatti, a great mountain climber from Italy.

A tiny green light 24 high on the mountain side. Bonatti was not giving up！The people 25 .
The next day he 26 his way upward(向上). He was so lonely and so 27 ！But he would not give up. Again that night he lit the 28 light.
In the morning, Bonatti 29 up. He could not see the top，but he knew he was30 there. Though the climb was painful，he moved up.
Bonatti had spent months 31 for the climb. Was the training enough? Did he have the strength and 32 to climb to the top?
He was 33 at the top！News about his victory（胜利） was radioed to the world.

There is an old story about an army of frogs that went jumping through the forest one day when two of them suddenly fell into a deep 1 . All of the other frogs gathered around to look 2 at their two fallen friends. They all began to 3 shake their heads and croak out warnings. “It’s too deep!”said one frog. Another said that there was no 4 they would ever be able to get out 5 .
The two fallen frogs began to continuously jump as they 6 to get out, but the frogs that were 7 kept croaking louder at them that they might as well stop 8 they were as good as dead and just 9 their time. One of the two frogs finally gave up, 10 their advice and died.
The other frog just kept on jumping harder than ever 11 all the loud croaks of disapproval from the frogs around the top of the hole. They kept croaking at him to 12 jumping and save himself from all the 13 and suffering as he jumped and fell back down to the bottom 14 .
Finally, to the 15 of all the other frogs, he jumped right out of the deep hole. The other frogs asked him, “Why did you keep jumping 16 we yelled and croaked at you to stop?” The frog explained to them he was 17 at that time and that he had thought they were cheering for him and yelling words of 18 to him the entire time!
A little encouragement can go a long way. We don’t often think about the 19 that our words have upon others. Our words do have the power to hurt or to 20 .
