Alison is my best friend.Her family won a 5﹣day stay in a mountain house.Her mom and dad said I could join.A few weeks later,we (1) .
"What a great place!" Alison's dad said.
"It's looking like a little cloudy," said Alison's mom,looking at the sky.
As you might have guessed,the clouds did mean (2) .LOTS of rain.
"I guess we'll have to find something else to do,"said Alison.
We (3) a couple of board games and a pack of cards.At first it was fun, (4) we ended up playing those games for about 30 hours,stopping only to eat and sleep!
"I can not play any more," I said on the third day. "How about we just read by ourselves for a while?"
"I have a better idea," said Alison. "How about we (5) instead?"
"I think a little quiet time would be nice," I said,opening a book I had brought.
"Oh,come on!Don't be (6) .I'll pick the first song," Alison started singing.
"Could you please leave me alone?" I snapped (怒气冲冲地说).
"Wow!Happily!" she sapped hack. "How about we both leave each other alone forever?!"
This makes me think of the expression "too much of a good thing".Alison's dad said, "You know how one piece of cake tastes (7) ,but 10 pieces of cake is too much.Spending every second with anyone—even your favorite person—is like (8) too much cake."
"I guess that makes sense," Alison said.She looked at (9) . "I'm sorry for not understanding."
"I'm sorry for snapping at you," I said.

Dear Laura,
I just heard you tell an old story of gift giving and unselfish love in your program. You don’t know whether it is true that such unselfish love would happen in today’s world. Well, I’m here to give you .
I wanted to do something very for my fifteen-year-old son, who has always been the perfect child. He worked all summer to earn enough money to buy a used motorcycle. Then, he spent hours and hours on it it looked almost new. I was so proud of him that I bought him the shiniest helmet(头盔)and a riding outfit(全套装备).
I could hardly wait for him to open up his gift. In fact, I couldn’t sleep the night before. Upon awakening, I went to the kitchen to the coffee, tea, and morning dishes. In the living room was a beautiful keyboard with a : “To my wonderful mother, all my love, your son.”
I was so surprised. It had been a long-standing joke in our family that I wanted a piano so that I could take lessons. “Learn to play the piano, and I’ll get you one” was my husband’s promise.
I stood there shocked, crying a river, myself how my son could this expensive gift.
Of course, the house awoke, and my son was very pleased with my reaction(反应). Many kisses were exchanged, and I immediately wanted him to my gift.
As he saw the helmet and outfit, the look on his face was not exactly what I was expecting. Then I realized that he had sold the motorcycle to get me the keyboard. Of course I was the proudest mother ever on that day, and my feet never hit the ground for a month.
So I wanted you to know, that kind of love is present and lives even in the ever-changing world of me, me, me!
I thought you’d love to this story. Yours,
Hilary

Although I love my life, it hasn’t been a lot of fun as I’ve been ill for 28 years.
Music has always been a great love of mine and, in my 20s, when my was more manageable , I ten years as a professional singer in restaurants, playing and singing folk songs. it was years ago and times have changed. I live with mother on a country farm.
Two years ago, I decided that I would need to have some kind of extra work to make up formy disability pension (残疾抚恤金). I needed to sleep in the afternoons, I was limited(限制) in my choices. I decided that I would consider to singing in restaurants.
My family are all musicians, so I was when I went into our local music store. I explained that I wanted to sing again but using recorded karaoke music. I knew that discs were very expensive and I really didn’t have a lot of to get started. And often you find only three to four songs out of ten on a disc that you can use.
When I told the owner of the shop about my , he gave me a long thoughtful . “This means a lot to you, doesn’t it?” he said. “Come with me.”
He led me the crowded shop and to a bench with a large professional karaoke box on it. He placed his large hand on his treasure(财宝) and said, “I have 800 karaoke songs in here. You can take your pickand I’ll record them for you. That should get you started.”
I could have cried. Thanking him, I made a time with him to listen to all the songs and choose that I could sing. I have come full circle with his help.
His still warms my heart and makes me do just that bit extra, when I have the chance.
