It was so cold that I couldn’t feel my legs. There was going to be a racing contest that night so I was 36 my horse, Skippy, up. I was simply running laps(跑道的圈) around the ring. The 37 cold air had been blowing past me, freezing my limbs, but every second I 38 it. You could hear the faint 39 of the people up at the clubhouse eating their dinner. My parents were also there, not knowing that my little sister had slowly wandered her way down to the ring. It was 40 because there was no moon or stars. Nobody else was in the ring at the time.

As all of this happened I watched my sister’s face transform (变形) through many different 54 : terror, confusion, curiosity, and then a sort of relief. Then she was laughing.
As I held my sister into my arms, Skippy stood right behind me knowing that I actually owed him my life 55 he saved my sister’s.

No sooner had he seated himself on the chair than he heard the doctor murmuring to his assistant: “Finished! The boy is 28 up to the standard.”
“How can you draw such a 29 like that before you give me a 30 check? Jim shouted at the doctor.

Half a year later, Jim was killed on the battlefield. At the news his girlfriend nearly went
37 . She kept weeping. “Don’t be like that, my dear.” It was an old man’s 38 voice. “Your Jim died a real man. He 39 his life to the people all over the world. It is right that we should be proud of him…” Saying this, the old man, her father, was choked(哽咽). His only 40 was that he had never had Jim know who he was.
