I had always cared about sick children and tried to help them. But when my little grandson received third degree burns, I learned first-hand how      a loving adult feels when his/her child is suffering and he/she can’t take the pain away. This experience      me to feel sorry for parents with sick children.
One mom told me that she     like running into the street and screaming, “My child is sick. Would somebody please help us?” It breaks my       that these parents are so anxiously(憂慮地) searching for someone to care and help them     the hard times of watching their helpless child suffer. So I decided to do something to help them.
Two years ago, I almost lost my eyesight. Luckily, I regained(恢復(fù)) some eyesight, but I was no longer able to work.     I had a lot of time. At first, I thought that my life was      because I couldn’t do any of the things I used to do. I believed that my life had no purpose and I was no      to anybody anymore. I began to be interested in surfing the Internet for information.
One day I received several emails asking for help for sick children. I decided to post their stories and pictures on a webpage. What began as a     has grown into a fulltime job I enjoy doing every day. Since my website was built, I’ve received tens of emails from worried parents asking me to put their child’s story online. And over 325 volunteers have     me to send children “happy mail” without being paid.

The teacher stood before his class of 30 students and was going to hand out the final exam papers. “I know how hard you have all worked to get ready for this test. ” he said. “And because I know you are all able to understand these questions. I am ready to offer a B to anyone who would prefer not to take the test. ’’
A number of students jumped up to thank the teacher and left the classroom. The teacher looked at the rest students and said. “Does anyone else want to get a B? This is your last chance. ”Two more students decided to go. Seven students stayed. The teacher then handed out the papers. There were only three sentences on the paper： Congratulations! You have received an A in this class. Keep believing in yourself.
I never had a teacher who gave a test like that. but I think that it is a test that any teacher could and should give. Students who do not have confidence in what they have learned are B students at most.
The same is true for students in real life. The A students are those who believe in what they are doing because they have learned from both successes and failures. They have learned life’s lessons. whether from school education or from events in their lives，and have become better people. Scientists say that by the age of eight，80% of what we believe about ourselves has already been formed. You are a big kid now and you realize that you have some limits(局限). However，there is nothing you can’t do or leant to be. Sir Edmund Hillary, the first person to reach the top of Mount Qomolangma (珠穆朗瑪峰)said，“We do not conquer the mountain, but ourselves. ”

We walked from my work place to a little restaurant on David Street.    39    the way, I began to worry: I knew that she had no money, but if I offered(提供) to    40   the lunch，I was afraid I would hurt her.
There were many people in the    41    and all of them were happy. Rose told me to sit and drink coffee by the window. Then she went to    42  in the kitchen. After about 20 minutes, she came out and sat with me. She just paid for one meal and we started to   43  the delicious food together. She told    44    that the restaurant let people work for a meal if they had no money, or would give them a free meal if they were not able to work. To my surprise, she also explained that the workers who were working there were all    45   .

Do you know star anise? It has a Chinese name “bajiao”(八角). You can find this spice(調(diào)味料) in almost all Chinese kitchens. Suddenly people around the world need the small fruit from which the spice is made, because of bird flu(禽流感).
