My best friend is Cocoa, and I live in a senior-citizen apartment. Cocoa is a ten-year-old dog and I am a sixty-nine-year-old lady, so you can see we both qualify as 1 citizens.
He is a 2 companion. He does many amusing things that make me 3 , and when that happens, he is so delighted 4 he just keeps it up.
But one afternoon, Cocoa started acting strangely. I was sitting on the floor playing with him, 5 he started pawing and smelling at the right side of my 6 . He had never done anything like this ever before, and I told him, “No.” To Cocoa, one “no” is usually 7 , but not that day. He stopped briefly, and then 8 ran toward me, throwing his entire weight at the right side of my chest. He crashed into me and I cried in 9 , falling down to the floor. Soon after this, I felt a lump (肿块). I went to my doctors, and after X-rays 10 and lab work were done, they told me I had cancer.
When cancer starts, a 11 of calcium (钙) builds. Then the lump or cancer attaches itself to this wall. When Cocoa jumped on me, the force of the impact broke the lump away from the wall. This made it possible for me to 12 the lump.
I had a complete mastectomy (乳房切除术) and the cancer has not 13 to any other part of my body. The doctors told me if the cancer had gone undetected even six more months, it would have been too 14 .
Was Cocoa 15 of just what he was doing? I’ll never really know. What I do know is that Cocoa not only shares his life with me, he has also made sure that I will be around to share my life with him!

About one year ago, a couple with three children moved into the apartment next door to me. I never heard any noise from the children. Instead, I often heard the parents yelling __26__ at the kids, not in a nice tone, but in a __27__ one.
We often __28__ in the hallway. I always greeted them, but the only __29__ I ever got was a “hello” from the eightyearold girl. I usually __30__ to see my doctor and one day when I returned they were just __31__ their apartment and the little girl was __32__ the outside door open for the others. I __33__ in the car doing __34__ things because I wasn't eager to be snubbed(冷落) again. Finally, I got out of my car and walked towards the door. The parents were telling their daughter to hurry and get into the car, __35__ the little girl was still holding the door, __36__ me! I hurried although I was still in pain from my injury.
I forgot to tell her how __37__ I was for her kindness. I wrote a note saying how much her act of kindness had __38__ an old man's heart.
The next day there was a __39__ on my door and it was the little girl and her father. She was quite __40__ of her behavior and thanked me. Then I noticed her mother standing there too. Her parents __41__ me.
From then on when we met in the hallway we always greeted each other，in a friendly __42__.
Last night there was a heavy snow. I looked out at my car and __43__ how I was going to keep my doctor's __44__ because I could only walk for a short time. This morning when I opened the front door, all the snow was removed.

It was my birthday last Thursday and I decided to 26 by inviting a few friends out to supper. I27 a restaurant in a quiet part of town. It is one of my favorite restaurants because the food is good and the waiters are friendly. It is hardly ever crowded, because28 people know about it, so it is not usually necessary to book a table. In any case, Thursday is not a busy evening29 .
When we entered the restaurant, I was surprised to find it completely30. I looked around but not a31 table was free. One of the waiters recognized me. He came across and explained the situation. “A party of tourists came in about32 ago.” he said. “It was like an invasion!33 the place was full! We can hardly manage.”
The waiter then34 a table in the corner. “The people there35 .” he said, “Just hold on and you will36 a place there.” He was right. Fifteen minutes later, the people37 the corner table paid their bill, got up and left. I led my friends across and we all sat down.
Unfortunately our table was almost out of sight. We tried to attract the attention of the waiter who sent us there, but he, like38 waiters,39 the party of tourists. They ordered lots of food. But at last, an hour later, the tourists were finishing their meal and looking very40 with their service. The waiter now very tired, appeared at our table. I advised (建议) my friends about the best dishes and finally the waiter went off with our41.
A few moments later he42 to our table. We could tell from his face that he had43 for us.44 a little embarrassed (尴尬的) he informed us that there was45 left. “All we can offeryou” he said, “is an omelet!(煎蛋卷)”

I used to hate being called upon in class mainly because I didn’t like attention drawn to myself. And 36 appointed a seat by the teacher, I always 37 to sit at the back of the classroom.
All this 38 after I joined a sports team. It began when a teacher suggested I try out for the basketball team. At first I thought it was a crazy 39 because I didn’t have a good sense of balance, nor did I have the 40 to keep pace with the others on the team and they would tease me. But for the teacher who kept insisting on my “ 41 for it”, I wouldn’t have decided to give a try.
Getting up the courage to go to the tryouts was only the 42_of it! When I first started 43 the practice sessions, I didn’t even know the rules of the game, much 44 what I was doing. Sometimes I’d get 45 and take a shot at the wrong direction—which made me feel really stupid. 46 , I wasn’t the only one “new” at the game, so I decided to 47 on learning the game, do my best at each practice session, and not be too hard on myself for the things I didn’t 48 “just yet”.
I practiced and practiced. Soon I knew the 49 and the “moves”. Being part of a team was fun and motivating. Very soon the competitive 50in me was winning over my lack of confidence. With time, I learned how to play and made friends in the 51 — friends who respected my efforts to work hard and be a team player. I never had so much fun!
With my 52 self-confidence comes more praise from teachers and classmates, I have gone from “53”in the back of the classroom and not wanting to call attention to myself, 54 raising my hand— even when I sometimes wasn’t and not 100 percent 55 I had the right answer. Now I have more self-confidence in myself.
