One day in September we were doing repair work on my parents’ old house to get it ready for my youngest daughter’s wedding. We had to 41 a great climbing plant that had grown across a roof beam（房梁）, so that we could repair the roof and 42 the walls.
When my husband was taking the plant away, he found a 43 of a blackbird. He then 44 something 45 among that mass of earth and straw of the nest. He broke the earth __46__ it into pieces with his finger tips and, to his 47 ,saw glittering gold. It was a child’s bracelet（手镯）. He ran into the house to 48 me.
“You won’t believe that the 49 blackbirds not only steal the best fruit we plant to feed on,” he said, “but they also want their children to 50 in a cradle（摇篮）of gold!”
When my daughter ___51__ on the eve of the 52 ,we told her about this 53 occurrence (事件).
“Don’t you remember, Mother?” she said with a loud 54 .“When I was eight, you gave me a bracelet that I 55 a few days later while out playing in the yard? It was this one!”
As the bracelet no longer 56 its owner and was dirty, I decided to take it into my safekeeping.
In December of the following year, the young couple’s baby son was baptized（受洗礼）.Among the 57 the newborn baby received, I placed his mother’s bracelet, now shining like 58 . I hope that if my grandson 59 loses it, one of the 60 that live in my backyard is somewhere nearby.

Many years ago，I bought a house in the Garfagnana，where we still go every summer. The first time we（1） there，we heard the chug chug﹣chug of a motorbike（2） its way down the hill toward us.

But when we looked at the tomatoes，we were（6） because they were so misshapen：not at all like the nice，round，（7） things you get in a supermarket. And the wine was cloudy，in a funny old bottle with no label（标签） on it. These can't be any （8） we thought. But we were （9） his kindness，so we （10） them.

Over the past 38 years, Mr. Wang has pretended to be someone else many times,and has even learned to＿21＿different dialects（方言），leading to him being described as an "Oscar-winning actor".
The 60-year-old is not an actor, but a ＿22.＿However,he is more devoted to his " ＿23＿ "than any real actor.
In the 1990s, a group of thieves often sold stolen goods with the heip of some beggars. To look into the ＿24＿，Wang disguised（伪装）himself and ＿25＿ the beggars．Dirty shorts and old shoes gave him the ＿26＿ of a real beggar and his convincing dialect soon won him the ＿27＿ of the beggars.
"I often ＿28＿ them to drink alcohol. Once they were ＿29＿,they began to talk a lot,"Wang said. "I'd then __30 __ myself to use the toilet, ＿31＿what the beggars said, and send the ＿32＿ to my teammates."
Wang，who is often in__33＿ situations， is also a judo （柔道） master． "As long as I get close enough, no criminal can __ 34__ from me," he said.
Wang's __ 35__ won him several honors, including a National May Day Labor Medal and 11 Citations of Merit.Paris.

Recently，I took a trip home by train．I got a seat opposite a middle-aged man with sharp eyes，who kept 1 a young woman in a window seat with a little boy on her lap．The woman's eye fell on the man's face，and she immediately looked down and 2 her scarf．
As the night wore on，people began to close their eyes，but the seats were so uncomfortable that only a very heavy sleeper could manage to get any 3 ．The woman looked over at the man．He was still staring at her．She looked back at him with fire in her eyes．I was beginning to get 4 ，too．
The train moved on．The little boy was 5 awake on his mother's lap，but the woman dropped off to sleep．A moment later，he began to 6 the half-open window-one leg went over it．The man jumped up and 7 the child just before he fell out．
The 8 woke up the woman．She seemed to be in 9，and then reality dawned （显现）．"Your child has been looking for an opportunity to climb out of the window，"the man said as he gave the child back to her. ．"So I have been watching the whole time．"The woman was 10 ，and so was I．
