I was said to be the worst student in my class, and my family thought I was hopeless. I had to grade six. at that time a new teacher, Miss Sadia, came to our school.
One day after class, she that I was staying alone during the lunch break. She came to me and began to talk to me. It was just a conversation. After that day, she gave me particular and it made me feel special(特别). I started to work hard because she gave me the feeling that believed me , and my started to improve(提高) in her subject.
Months later, she moved into a house near my . We would walk home together after school. Her constant (不断的 ) support helped me, in my studies, as I knew she would my grades both in her subject and the other subjects. I finally second in my class.
Then, after grade six, she started to slowly drift away（疏远） still kept a constant(不断的) check on me. By the time I was in grade seven, we spoke, but by then I had become the in my class. When I left my school, I was with her, as she never answered the when I called her.
Then I graduated and went to a good university. One fine day, our paths（路） again. I met her at a wedding. I could not asking her, "Why did you stop talking to me?"

Sometimes I really doubt whether there is love between my parents. Every day they are very
busy trying to 26 in order to pay the high tuition for my brother and me. They don’t act in the 27 ways that I read in books or I see on TV. In the
ir opinion, “I love you” is too 28 for them to say. Sending flowers to each other on Valentine’s Day is even more out of 29 .
One day, my mother was sewing a quilt. I sat down beside her. “Mom, I 
have a question to ask you. Is there 30 between you and Dad?” I asked her in a very low voice. She didn’t answer immediately. She 31 her head and continued to sew the quilt.
I was very worried because I thought I had 32 her. I was 33 and I didn’t know what I should do. But at last I heard my mother say the following words:
“Susan,”
she said thoughtfully, “Look at this thread．Sometimes it 34 , but most of it disappears in the quilt. The thread really makes the quilt 35 . If life is a quilt, then love should be a thread．It can hardly be seen 36 , but it’s really there. Love is 37 .”
I listened carefully but I 38 her until the next spring. At that time, my father suddenly 39 seriously. My mother had to stay with him in the hospital for a month. When they returned from the hospital, they both looked 40 . It seemed both of them had had a serious illness. After they were back, every day in the morning and dusk, my mother helped my father 41 on the country road．
“Dad, how are you feeling now?” I asked him one day.
“Susan, don’t 42 me.” he said gently. “To tell you the truth, I just like walking with your mom.”43 his eyes, I know he loves my m
other deeply.
Once I thought love meant flowers, gifts and 44 . But from this experience, I understand that love is just 45 in the quilt of our life. Love is inside, making life strong and warm.

A young man was getting ready to graduate from college. For many months he had loved a beautiful sports car in a dealer’s showroom, and knowing his father could well 16 it, he told him that was all he wanted.
As 17 drew near, the young man expected 18 that his father had bought the car. Finally, on the morning of the special day, his father called him into his study. His father told him how 19 he was to have such a fine son, and how much he loved him. He handed his son a beautiful wrapped (包装好的) gift box. Curious, but a little bit 20 , the young man opened the box and found a lovely Bible (圣经).
Angrily, he raised his 21 to his father and said, “Is a Bible 22 you can give me with all your money?” He then stormed out of the house, leaving the Bible.
Many years 23 and the young man was very successful in business, but 24 his father was very old, he thought perhaps he 25 go to see him. He had not seen him since that graduation day. 26 he could make the arrangements (安排), he received a telegram which 27 him of his father’s death, and all the possessions (财产) willed (立遗嘱) to him.
28 arriving at his father’s house, sudden sadness and regret filled his heart. He began to 29 through his father’s important papers and saw the still new Bible, just as he had 30 it years ago. With tears, he opened the Bible and began to 31 . As he was reading, a car 32 dropped from the back of the Bible.
How many times do we 33 blessings (祝福) because they are not wrapped as we expected? Do not spoil (搞糟) what you have by desiring (渴求) what you have not; but remember what you now have was once 34 the things you hoped for. What may appear as bad fortune (运气) may 35 be the door that is just waiting to be opened.

Three 21 ago, my family got our first computer. 22 the beginning of this summer, I found it was too old and I wanted to get a 23 one. After my father. and I talked for a long time, he 24 . We went to many shops and read many ads. 25 we bought an HP computer.
During the first week, I noticed 26 our computer had some problems. I spent many hours 27 to fix it, but it 28 work. So I 29 to phone the HP company and ask them 30 to work out my problem. They told me to wait until the next morning because all their workers were 31 that day.
The next morning two workers came. It took them many hours to mend it, but the computer 32 did not work. My dad had no other way but to return the whole thing.
A few days later, we decided that I should go on the Internet and order some parts to build a new computer by 33 .
It was not an easy job for me to build a new computer. I tried many times, and in the end I was successful. From these setbacks(挫折), I have learned a lot. Now I believe that if the HP computer hadn't had any problems, 34 I would not have learned how to build the new one. Even though I spent lots of time on it, I know it wasn't35 .

Have you ever imagined that you could be cloned(克隆) like Dolly, the sheep, in the not too distant future?
The news that a human embryo(胚胎) has been 16 cloned for the first time has caused mixed reactions(反应).
The 17 was carried out by scientists from the Advanced Cell Technology Inc(ACT), in Massachusetts, US. The group 18 the news on November 25.
This is 19 human being. A clone is alive, it walks, it breathes, said Jamie Grifo, a(n) 20 on the study of cloning at New York University School of Medicine.
“This is a set of cells in a lab that will be used to 21 someone’s life.”
Such research could lead to treatment for 22 such as heart disease, AIDS and even cancer, 23 scientists.
Despite high hopes from other scientists, the news raised concerns immediately from religious and political leaders. Several 24 in the US do not allow human cloning. President George W. Bush also made it clear that he is 25 any type of human cloning. However, the scientists at ACT said they have no interest at present in 26 an early embryo into 27 .
Animal have been cloned repeatedly since Dolly, the sheep 28 in 1997. And there were no real technical 29 to stand in the way of scientists making a cloned human embryo.
This time the research group used traditional cloning technology with a human 30 .31 it was given DNA from an adult cell, the egg began to 32 .33 it was stopped from becoming a baby-at a stage in which it was34 a ball of cells. The 35 technology has been used to clone sheep , cattle and monkeys.

It was always thought that Treasure Island(金银岛) was the product（产物） of Robert Stevenson’s imagination（想像）. 36 ，recent research has found the true story of this exciting work .
Stevenson, a Scotsman, had lived 37 for many years .In 1881 he returned to Scotland to spend 38 .With him were his American wife Fanny and his son 39 .
Each morning they would go out for a 40 over the hills .They had been 41 this for several days before the weather suddenly took a turn for the worse. Kept indoors by the heavy rain, Lloyd, Stevenson’s son, felt the days 42 .To keep the boy happy, Robert asked the boy to do some 43 .
One morning, the boy came to Robert with a beautiful map of an island. Robert 44 that the boy had drawn a large cross in the middle of 45 . “What’s that?” he asked “That’s the 46 treasure”, said the boy. Robert suddenly 47 something of an adventure(冒险) story in the boy’s 48 .While the rain was pouring ,Robert sat down by the fire to write a story. He would make the 49 a twelve-year-old boy just like Lloyd .But who would be molded(塑造) into the hero — a pirate(海盗)?
Robert had a good friend named Henley, who walked with the 50 of a wooden leg , Robert had always wanted to 51 such a man in a story. 52 Long John Silver, the pirate with a wooden leg, was 53 .
So thanks to a 54 September in Scotland, a friend with a wooden leg and the imagination of a twelve-year-old boy, we have one of the greatest 55 stories in the English language.
