_____ pleasant life we are having in the new century!

---Could you _______ me your MP4?

---Sorry, it isn’t here at the moment.  Tom ________ it for about two weeks.

My life is always full of sadness and little joy. However, no matter(無論) what happens, I can always face it bravely.

Last year,  I couldn’t believe the   1   that I could enter the only key high school in my hometown.  Then I rushed to my home and told my parents.  But my father didn’t  seem as    2        as I was. He just kept smoking without saying a word and my mother put her head down and couldn’t help   3  .

I knew very well what my family was   4___ . My mum had been ill in bed for 2 years. We lived a hard life and I couldn’t continue my schooling. I felt so upset(心煩意亂) but I could say   5    to my parents. I decided to help my father with his work   6   my family.

To my surprise, things completely changed   7     the beginning of the new term. My head teacher came to my family with some money, which was   8     by my schoolmates. He encouraged me, “Always have a dream.” With tears in my eyes, I stepped into the key high school.

I have been studying hard since I entered the high school. No matter when I meet difficulties, I always   9     my teacher and schoolmates. I have a college dream and I must work hard for it, no matter how  10    life is. Just as a great man says, “When one door shuts, another opens in life.”

He came again the next day and worked until it was time to leave. His name was Jerry. He was 12 and had been at the Children's Home(孤兒院)since he was only four. \ I thought of him. He was honest(誠實). For example, the handle (柄) of the ax (斧)broke one day. Jerry said the Children's Home would mend it. I handed him some money to pay for it. He wouldn't take the money. "I'll pay for it, mama. I broke it. I didn't hit the wood in the right place. "

"But Jerry, no one hits the wood in the right place all the time. And it was a weak handle. I'll speak to the seller. " It was only then that he would take the money.

Another thing about Jerry was that he would do those little but helpful things. The things would not be badly needed but would make life so much easier. For example, he found a hole near the fireplace. "I'll put some wood in the hole, mama. Then when a sudden storm(暴風雨)comes up, you can stay warm. "

One cold day, Jerry sat close by me near the fire. We watched the fire bum. He suddenly talked of something he had never talked of before. "You look like my mother, especially(特別) next to the fire"

But you were four, Jerry, 'when you came to live at the Children's Home. Do you still remember your mother?"

"Can I see my baby?" asked the happy new mother. When the baby was in her arms, she couldn't believe her eyes. The baby was born without ears.

Time proved(證明) that the baby's hearing was very good though he had no ears. He got on well with his classmates. But one day, he said to his mother, tears in his eyes, "A big boy called me a freak (畸形的)."

　　The boy's father asked the family doctor. "Could nothing be done?"

　　"I believe I could graft (植入) on a pair of outer ears if they could be got," the doctor said. They tried to find a person who was helpful for the young man.

　　One day, his father said to the son, "You're going to the hospital, son. Mother and I have someone who will donate the ears you need. But we must keep it a secret who the person is."

　　The operation(手術) was a great success, and a new person appeared. His cleverness and hard work made him a very successful person. He married and lived a happy life.

　　He once asked his father, "Who gave me the ears? I could do enough for him or her."

　　"I do not believe you could, "said the father." The agreement was that you are not to know...not yet."

　　For years they kept it a secret, but the day did come. He stood with his father over his mother's body. Slowly, the father raised the thick, brown hair. To his surprise, the son found his mother had no outer ears.

　　"Mother said she was glad she never needed to cut her hair," his father said in a low voice, "and nobody ever thought mother less beautiful, did they?”
