Megan's Library of Love book drive began in 2006, in memory of a student who passed away. The_ 21__ to send books to a school _22 _was created by Megan's classmates at Cedar Grove-Belgium Middle School as a tribute（悼念）to her.
The project formed out of the desire to23 _Megan, to help our community heal, and to make a _24__ in the life of others. Students have many 25_ of Megan, but the most vivid was her love for her family and the diligent 26__ she gave to her classmates. They combined this with her _27_ for learning and reading to create the Library of Love. This project honors Megan's special qualities. In the _28__of one of her classmates, Megan was, “A good daughter, a good student, a good friend. ”We are all blessed to have been a _29_ of Megan's life.
Every February, on Megan's birthday, fifth graders at Cedar Grove-Belgium Middle School _30 _donations of newly purchased books and send them to a school in need. The “Love books” are truly a __31__ of love meant to _32_ reading and learning. Students earn the money for postage by writing letters to local _33 _.The fifth graders also have the _34_ of labeling every book with a Library of Love sticker（标签）, _35_ the books into categories（类别）, and _36_ all the books for shipping.
In the two years since the Library of Love _37 _began, students have collected over 5000 newly purchased books to send to schools in need. In 2006, 3419 books were sent to St. Bernard's Parish to help _38 their school library after Hurricane Katrina destroyed the community. In 2007, 1613 books were sent to White Mountain School in Alaska, who _39 _their high school in a fire. Students look forward to sending the gift of _40 _to other schools in the future.

When we read books we seem to enter a new world. This new world can be similar to the one we are living in, or it can be very21. Some stories are told22 they were true. Real people who live in a 23 world do real things; in other words, the stories are about people just like us doing what we do. Other stories, such as the Harry Potter books, are not24. They are characters and creatures that are very different from us and do things that would be25for us.
But there is more to books and writing than this. If we think about it, even realistic writing is only26. How can we tell the difference between what is real and what is not real? For example, when we read about Harry Potter ,we27 seem to learn something about the real world. And when Harry studies magic at Hogwarts, he also learns more about his real life than28. Reading, like writing, is an action. It is a way of29. When we read or write something ,we do much more than simple look at words on a page. We use our30 --which is real—and our imagination—which is real in a different way --- to make the words come to life in our minds.
Both realism and fantasy(幻想)31the imagination and the “magic” of reading and writing to make us think. When we read32realistic, we have to imagine that the people we are reading about are just like us, even though we33that we are real and they are34 . It sounds35,but it works. When we read, we fill in missing information and36 about the causes and effects of what a character does. We help the writer by37that what we read is like real life. In a way, we are writing the book, too.
Most of us probably don’t think about what is going on in our38 when we are reading. We pick up a book and lose39 in a good story, eager to find out what will happen next. Knowing how we feel40we read can help us become better readers, and it will help us discover more about the real magic of books.

As a young boy my family was very poor. I would often help do something for the neighbors to 36 a little pocket money.
One day I 37 on the door of an elderly woman and asked 38 she needed me to clean the yard. She asked why I was not in 39 and I showed her my worn 40 , which no longer kept me warm. She 41 me to work in the yard. When I finished, she looked at me and said, “I suppose you want to be 42 now.” She then 43 a jar filled with dollar bills and said, “I’m glad you’ve done a 44 job today but that is not something you should be doing again. I want you to 45 new clothes and get back to school. I also want you to come back to 46 me with your report card and I will 47 you when I see you have worked hard and have some good 48 . Now reach out your little hands and take out as much 49 as you can.”
I put my hands in the jar and 50 so much money that it was 51 for me to buy what I badly needed. Later, I returned several times to see the woman and she did just as she 52 . She looked at my report card and gave me a handful of dollars and some delicious food every time I 53 her that I had an “A”.
I was twelve years old when I moved from that neighborhood. I will never forget the huge 54 this wonderful lady made over my life with her 55 . This is something I hope to do myself in this lifetime over and over again.

When we talk about a bad man, we like to call him a “wolf”. But is it really true that the wolf stands for devil and ugliness？
Have you read the book “The Wolf Totem” by a famous writer Jiang Rong, which tells the story of the relationship between wolves and human beings? Have you ever 41 the wolves' world? If you had, you would 42 the wolves. In the book, wolves are heroes on the large grassland. They know more about 43 than humans. They can attack lambs without disturbing their mothers. They also know how to 44 full use of the shape of land to 45 sheep. I believe that if wolves were humans, they would be 46 experts good at fighting.
The wolf is a kind of special creature that can deeply understand 47 .Each wolf serves its group with its heart and soul. A 48 wolf has little power, but a pack of wolves 49 nothing. All the wolves obey the rules. 50 they are defeated, they run away together. It is their teamwork 51 makes wolves powerful.
The wolves also have great self respect and won't 52 to anyone. The writer, who wrote the book “The Wolf Totem”, 53 stole a one-month-old baby wolf and raised it very carefully. To his 54 , he found the little wolf still wanted to go back with 55 wolves. He bit through the iron chain that limited him. The wolf was 56 and he never gave in, fighting 57 his death. The little wolf died as a glorious fighter.
I was shocked by this kind of 58 wolves are one of the most respected creatures on the earth. I want everyone to look at wolves in a 59 way. They are our teachers. They show us how to survive and 60 in this not simple but dangerous world. Please honor the wolves, please honor all these heroes of nature!

It was one of those cold winter nights in the Haight-Ashbury district of San Francisco . I was driving an eyesore（丑陋的东西）that could only be 36 as a “ car ” by someone who was either a shameless liar or a good friend .
It was 37 to drive the car because you had to keep your fingers and toes crossed to keep the engine running . I tried to imagine I was driving a huge clumsy 38 ; that way I didn’t 39 the slow speed .
That night I must have uncrossed my fingers to scratch something . The car 40 in the middle of a four-lane stretch of Oak Street . I 41 for a place to turn off（拐弯）, but the street was lined with parked cars .
There I sat , in 42 traffic , as tons of vehicles screamed by . In my rearview mirror（后视镜）I saw a car 43 behind me . I knew what was coming . Soon the horn would start and someone would be 44 at me . But I was 45 .
A stranger got out of the car and came to my 46 . He asked , “ Do you want a 47 ?”
I was surprised but 48 . And then he 49 to his car and two teens piled out to help push my car . When I was 50 delivered to a side street , they got back into their car and rejoined the sea of 51 . I didn’t get to 52 them .
Over the years I’ve realized something about the 53 who stopped to help . I’ve noticed that every time I’m in 54 , he appears . The one true thing in this world is an unasked 55 provided by a stranger .
