In 2012, I had just recovered from a serious illness when I received an invitation to a writer’s conference in Orlando, Florida. My family persuaded that a(n) 36 might be just what the doctor ordered, so off I 37 .
Arriving in the Sunshine State was rather tiring, but I 38 to catch a taxi to my 39 and settle in. Next morning, I took another 40 to the shopping center to buy a few souvenirs. 41 I went to a café to have lunch, but all the tables were 42 . Then I heard a friendly voice saying, “You can 43 my table.”
I gratefully sat down with the 44 lady and we had a happy lunch together. As the 45 drew to a close she asked how long I would be in Orlando.

二 (北京) The Fitting-in of Suzy Khan
The first time I saw Suzy Khan, I knew I had to help her. She was really small for her age of 12. The boy in my class often 36 about her and laughed their heads off. She would open a book, pretending to read, with tears dropping on the open page.
All I knew was that she was an orphan (孤儿) from Africa. She had just been adopted by a family in town who 37 that the best way for her to learn American ways of life was to be with american kids. I looked down at this 38 girl and promised myself that somehow I would help her.
But how could I help her 39 in with us? There had to be a 40 .
One day, when I went into the classroom, I saw that Suzy had 41 her geography book to a picture of a train, and in her notebook, she had made a(n) 42 copy.
I was surprised and thought that she could do something in the coming 43 show. So, I took her to see the art teacher, Miss Parker, and showed her what Suzy had 44 . “why, it’s wonderful,” said Miss Parker, who then showed us a poster she had painted 45 the talent show. “I need more of these, but I just don’t have enough 46 . Could you help me, Suzy?”
On the day of the talent show, Suzy’s 47 were everywhere ---- all over the hall and all over the school, each one different.
“And finally,” said Mr Brown, the schoolmaster, at the end of the show, “we have a (n) 48 award. I’m sure you’ve all noticed the wonderful posters.” Everyone nodded. “One of our own students 49 them.”
I could hear everyone whispering. “Who in our school could draw 50 well?”
Mr. Brown waited a while before saying, “ 51 this student worked so hard on the posters, she deserves a 52 ,too. Our mystery(神秘) artist is our new student ---- Suzy Khan!”
Mr. Brown thanked her for all the wonderful posters and gave her a professional artist’s set. “Thank you,” she cried.
I 53 , at that time when I was looking at her excited face, she’d probably never 54 anything in her whole life.
Everyone started to 55 their hands. Suzy Khan gave them a shy smile and the applause was defening. I knew then Suzy was going to ne all right.

From my second grade on, there was one event I feared every year: the piano recital(独奏演唱会). A recital 36 I had to practice a boring piece of music and perform before strangers. Each year I 37 ask my father if I could skip the recital “just this once”. And each year he would shake his head, muttering(嘀咕) 38 about build self-confidence and working toward a 39 .
So it was with really great 40 that I stood in church one recent Sunday, video camera in hand, and 41 my 68-year-old father sweating in his shirt 42 rising to play the piano in his very first recital.
My father had longed to play music since childhood, but his family was poor and couldn’t 43 lessons. He could have gone on regretting it, 44 too many of us do. But though he was rooted in his past, he wasn’t 45 there. When he retired three years ago, he 46 his church music director to take him as a student.
For a moment after my father sat down at the keyboard, he 47 stared down at his fingers. Has he forgotten the 48 ? I worried, remembering those split seconds 49 ago when my mind would go blank and my fingers would 50 . But then came the beautiful melody(旋律),from the 51 fingers that once baited(装饵于) my fishing lines. And I 52 he had been doing what music teachers always stress: 53 the music and pretend the others aren’t there.
“I’m 54 of him for starting something new at his age,” I said to my son Jeff.
“Yeah, and doing it so 55 ,” Jeff added.
With his first recital, my father taught me more about courage and determination than all the words he used those 30-plus years ago.

Parents feel that it is difficult to live with teenagers. Then again, teenagers have 1 feelings about their parents, saying that it is not easy living with them. According to a recent research, the most common 2 between parents and teenagers is that regarding untidiness and daily routine tasks. On the one hand, parents go mad over 3 rooms, clothes thrown on the floor and their children’s refusal to help with the 4 . On the other hand, teenagers lose their patience continually when parents blame them for 5 the towel in the bathroom, not cleaning up their room or refusing to do the shopping at the supermarket.
The research, conducted by St. George University, shows that different parents have different 6 to these problems. However, some approaches are more 7 than others. For example, those parents who yell at their children for their untidiness, but 8 clean the room for them, have fewer chances of changing their children’s 9 . On the contrary, those who let teenagers experience the 10 of their actions can do better. For example, when teenagers who don’t help their parents with the shopping don’t find their favorite drink in the refrigerator, they are forced to 11 their actions.
