Around 5:30 p.m., I was on the bus one day and everybody on the bus was quiet. People had just 36 from work, students had just finished their 37 class and everybody was a little 38 from a long day. It wasn't a particularly good day for me as I was feeling quite tired too. I was just looking outside of the 39 without any specific thought in my mind. It was the same 40 I had seen many times before, people hurrying home.
In front of me, there was a man sitting in the seat who didn't look too clean. 41 he was looking out of the window, the man suddenly 42 to me and pointed at something outside. "Hey, look." He had a big smile on his face. I turned to the 43 he was pointing to and there it was ---- the beautiful Catalina mountains burning with a beautiful 44 . The mountains were coated with bright pink light and shadows. He turned to other people on the bus and told them to look at the mountains. He 45
" Wow" and " It's so beautiful" again and again. Everybody on the bus 46 the views indeed.
The 47 view also helped me to 48 my long tiring day with a good feeling in my heart. But, more 49 , I was so inspired (鼓舞）to see that this man wanted to 50 the beautiful view with everybody on the bus, total strangers. His 51 act made me accidentally find something that I had lost which I didn't even know I had lost. He made me 52 that I had lost the feelings and the excitement I 53 have everyday. In my daily life, many things had 54 their color and movement. But he 55 me that things are still there ---- they never get lost.

It was only a few weeks after my surgery. I went to Dr. Belt’s office for a 36 . It was just after my first chemotherapy treatment(化疗). My scar was still very tender.(疼痛的) 37 . I was taken to an examination room to have my blood 38 , again—a terrifying process for me, since I’m so frightened of 39 .
I lay down on the 40 . Then Ramona entered the room. Her 41 smile was familiar, and 42in contrast to my fears. I’d first seen her in the office a few weeks earlier. She wasn’t my 43 on that day, but I remember her because she was laughing. What could she 44 find to laugh about at a time like this? So I decided she wasn’t 45 enough about the whole thing.
But this day was 46 . Ramona had taken my blood before. She 47 my fear of needles, and she kindly 48 the medical equipment under a magazine. As we opened the layers of bandage, the 49 scar on my chest could be seen.
She gently 50 over and ran her hand across the scar, 51 the smoothness of the healing skin. I began to cry gently and quietly. She brought her warm eyes to mine and said, “You haven’t 52 it yet, have you?” And I said, “No.”
I continued to cry gently. In 53 tones she said. “This is part of your body. This is you. It’s okay to touch it.” But I couldn’t. So she touched it for me. The 54 . The healing wound. And beneath it, she touched my heart.
That night as I lay down, I gently placed my hand on my chest and I left it there 55 I fell asleep. I knew I wasn’t alone.

In the middle of the night, Peter's wife suddenly fell ill. She couldn't help crying, “Oh， my stomach! Get the 1 !”
Peter, awaking from a deep sleep, thought his wife was only having a 2 dream.
“Stop that noise,” he said to her. He turned over and tried to go to 3 again, but his wife still cried out, “Oh, help！help！ I'm sure I'm 4 .”
Peter got out of bed and started 5 , but he could not find him any clothes.
“Where is my shirt?” he asked. His wife was 6 ill to tell him, and she could only cry, “Oh, my 7 stomach!”
As soon as he had put his clothes 8 , he said, “Now, my dear, are you quite 9 that you need the doctor? Surely you can wait 10 morning, can’t you?”
“No, I can't. Go, go, go,” his wife shouted, “ 11 you will find me dead 12 the morning.”
So Peter went out into the dark street. He had only gone a few meters 13 he heard his wife calling him again．
“I’m 14 again now, and I shall not want the doctor.” she said softly.
Hearing this, he started running as 15 as he could towards the doctor’s. When he arrived there, he knocked at the door loudly enough to wake 16 around.
The doctor put his sleepy head out of the bedroom window and said, “Er? Who’s there?”
“Oh, Doctor.” Peter called up to him, “I have very 17 news for you. My wife 18 ill with a terrible stomachache. I was on my way to bring you to her, but she called me back to say the trouble had suddenly 19 her. So you need not come. Go back to 20 now, and sleep well!”

A young dove asked the King Dove, “Your Majesty(陛下), please 3 us to take some rest.” The king replied, “Have 4, my dear young fellow. We shall 5 get something to eat very soon.”
The young dove started flapping(拍打) his wings with 6 and soon left everyone else behind. After some time, he 7 and spoke to others, “Hey, I see lots of 8 down there.”
Hearing this, all the doves started 9 the scattered (散落的) grains under a banyan tree. 10 the King Dove said, “It is too good to be true. There is something wrong. Don’t rush towards the grains. It may be a 11 . Some hunter must have laid a trap(陷阱).”
But the doves were extremely hungry. The 12 of the grains was too tempting (诱惑人的). Without giving a(n) 13 to the king’s advice, they swooped (突然下降) down and started eating the grains. After having a big 14, they tried to fly away only to 15 that they were caught in a net.
The King Dove said, “I told you before that it is a trick of some hunter.”
All of them felt ashamed and 16 . One of them said to the King Dove, “Oh, Your Majesty, please save us.”

Just then they saw a(n) 19 show up. The King Dove said, “Now all of you, fly together.”
So all the doves flapped their wings together and flew with the net. The hunter stood shocked. He couldn’t 20 what he had just seen.
