Edith Cavell was born on December 4, 1865, in England. When she left school, she became a teacher. Edith soon found that she had a 36 for nursing(护理), so she completed her training 37 any problem. In 1907, a doctor invited Edith to open a 38 school for nurses in Belgium(比利时).
In August 1914, Germany invaded Belgium. By then, the training school had become a Red Cross hospital. It required its nurses to care for injured soldiers from every country---even 39 soldiers. .
German forces (军队) went through Belgium to France. British soldiers were 40 with the French, trying to 41 the Germans out of France. But they didn’t 42 . As a result, many British and French soldiers would be caught. But some of them found their 43 to Edith’s training school. There, she took care of them and 44 them from the German forces. Then she heard some 45 people were willing to help the soldiers escape. Together they organized travels for the soldiers out of Belgium to Holland, which was a safe country during the whole war.
In august 1915, the German government discovered 46 was happening at Edith’s training school. Edith was 47 for helping about two hundred British and French 48 escape. Early on October 12, 1915, Edith Cavell was 49 . She died for her country, but she believed that she had only been a nurse trying to do her 50 . History will remember her for ever.

Lulu is a brave pet in our shelter. As you know, there are a lot of forest fires during the summer season. Many forests are badly damaged by fire each year. Not far from our shelter, a forest caught fire during this hot summer. We were in a heat wave which had been 31 for three days.
Lulu rushed towards the forest where flames sent out a terrible 32 ．I no longer had any hope that Lulu would come back to the shelter．In fact, I was waiting for the firemen to announce his 33 in the forest, when suddenly, a fireman burst into my shelter and informed me that my dog Lulu had 34 to save four kittens(小猫) who were trapped by the flames．According to the fireman, Lulu seized the kittens, one by one moving them to a safe place．I immediately accompanied(陪同) the fireman to the forest to 35 the rescued kittens．When we arrived 36 the scene of the incident, we found Lulu was not there. Then we heard the 37 of a dog from the forest barking furiously (猛烈地).

That day, I was very proud of Lulu for his two heroic(英雄的)39 toward the kittens and the fireman．Lulu showed much compassion (同情) for both animals like him and for a human being who was trying to 40 the fire with his colleagues(同事)．
This true story of genuine(真的) love and compassion shows us that pets are loving, caring and considerate(考虑周到的)．We should love and protect them．One day they could do us a good turn.

What on earth does happiness mean? I can’t give you its exact definition, but I’m sure if you love and help 16., you’ll get it.
I’ll never forget an old lady. She lives in 17.small house alone. It is said that her husband and her son 18.（die）in a road accident years ago. Her life is bitter, but she often helps others 19 .a smile. Whenever it snows, she is always the first to clean the paths. She looks after several children living nearby. I am one of them. I often remember the stories she told us and her kind smile. Perhaps she is unlucky, but I think she is a happy person. Her life is full of 20.（laugh）and love.
But I’m sad to see some people getting their happiness in bad ways. They talk 21.（noisy）in cinemas and meeting rooms; they destroy trees to enjoy themselves and they laugh at others’ shortcomings. Perhaps they feel happy at that time, 22.they will never get true happiness because they 23.（lose）their personality already.
Now I know what happiness is. 24.means kindness, love and unselfishness. Above all, I have come to understand that 25.（bring）happiness to others is getting ourselves happiness.
The story happened years ago，when my daughter was still little.
I was driving across the country with my daughter to 1 my husband. Since I intended to get to my destination before supper time, I drove 2 for a long time without a stop. Then after driving for many miles, I became tired and needed to stop for a break to get 3 .
I found a rest area. It was mostly deserted, in a quiet area of the highway. I parked the car and carried my 4 into the restroom. When I came out I saw a middle-aged5 wandering around. Feeling6 about that, I asked the lady. What 7 me was: they were waiting for us!
The lady told me that she and her husband wanted to see us safely back into our 8 . She explained that sometimes rest areas could be a 9 place for a young lady like me. She told me that she had a daughter almost my age, so they wanted to make sure that I got safely back on my way.
I was very touched by their 10 . Being young, and probably naive to the potential 11 of rest areas, it had never occurred to me that there was any possibility of something going wrong. I 12 them for their kindness. My daughter and I continued our journey and 13 our destination safely.
I never got their names but years have passed and their kindness is still not 14 . Sometimes angels come in make-up and just because you can’t see their 15 it doesn’t mean they aren’t angels.

As educators, we often never know the influence we have on our students. It is always wonderful to have ___35___ students visit us and share the successes they have achieved. And those glorious moments, when we can instantly see the influence we have on a student, fuel us to continue making connections hoping to ___36___ in the life of every child.
As a music teacher for twenty-seven years, I have always known that music ___37___ the soul. It can ___38___ all kinds of barriers to reach students in a very special way. It can be the ___39___ for each child to find their light. I would like to share a story about it.
For a few years I was blessed with the opportunity to teach ___40___ students one afternoon a week. One of my most ___41___ students was a five-year-old girl called Vanessa, who had difficulty walking, and could not speak. We ___42___ sat on the floor for our music lessons and Vanessa liked to sit on my lap. One of her favorite songs was “John the Rabbit.” It was a call and response song where I sang the call and the students ___43___ twice while singing the repeating phrase, “Oh, yes!” Vanessa liked to ___44___ her hands together with mine and clap with me. We probably performed that song during every class, Vanessa and I clapping together. But she ___45___ said or sang a word.
One day late in the school year, when the song was finished, Vanessa turned around, looked me dead in the eye, clapped her tiny hands twice and said the words “Oh, yes!” I opened my mouth in ___46___ and for that moment I was the one who could not speak. When my heart ___47___ started beating again, I looked over at the assistant teacher to find her also ___48___. Through music, we had made an awesome connection.
Several years later, I passed Vanessa on the street in town. I stopped my car and waved to say hello. She waved back with a big ___49___ on her face and then clapped her hands twice, imitating the song we had ___50___ so many times in our music class. This precious little girl, ___51___ her connection with music, left an impression on me that will last forever. Every child has the ___52___ to learn and grow. It is up to us as educators to ___53___ the way to reach each and every one of our students. We all must find each child’s ___54___.
