解析 根據(jù)the tasty gel和“...from picking the fruit to setting the ____ jelly on the home­made shelves.”可知,瓶子里裝滿了好吃的果醬。
【小題4】 B
解析 每當作者想要做果醬三明治時,所要做的就是去取一瓶果醬。

Not only had this man returned my purse but he thought he       me an apology for not bringing it back sooner!
I have told almost all my acquaintances, who almost responded with a similar standard answer, “It restores your       in human nature” and it       lots of stories about similar       experiences.
There were no contact       so I am unable to get in touch to say thank you to Iain, but I hope he will be     of how grateful I am!

She took it and joined her family quickly.As she walked away, I     she was wearing a coat.Clearly too big for her, hanging     on her thin body, and couldn’t help thinking how much I had     with her.It suddenly struck me that how     I am.
After that moment I had a    of heart Now I love Madcaps and don’t miss one meeting I have     awkwardness when communicating and have many friends. And this year I am sure I will do more than the      20 hours of charity.
So that is how I have made a    by doing one thing I do not want to do .If you have an open     about things you can accomplish more and become a well-rounded(全面的)person.

I believe in miracles(奇跡)because I've seen so many of them.One day,a patient was referred to me who was one hundred and two years old.“There’s a    in my upper jaw,”she said.“I told my own dentist it's nothing,but he      I come to see you”
Her eighty-year-old son accompanied her.He would     to add something,but she stopped him.She wanted to tell everything herself.I found a large cancer that spread over much of the    of her mouth.A careful examination later      that it was a particularly bad sort of cancer.
During her next appointment,I explained to her the      of the problem. She clasped (緊握)my hand in hers and said,“I know you’re worried about me,but I’m just    .”
I thought otherwise.After considerable      on my part,and kindness on her part because she wanted to      me,she agreed to have me refer her to a cancer surgeon.She saw him,but as I expected,    treatment.
About six months later she returned to my office,still energetic and      
“How are you?” I asked.
“I’m just fine,honey,”she responded    high spirits.“When can I get started on fixing my dentures(假牙)?”
Surprised to see her at all,I answered      ,“Let me take a look in your mouth and we’ll see about it. ”
I couldn’t believe my eyes.The cancer that had       nearly the entire roof of her mouth was gone—only one small area of redness      
I had read of such things happening,but had      seen them with my own eyes.That was my first miracle.Since then I've seen many others,because they keep getting      to see.In fact,miracles are daily events for me now.And people are a miracle,    through them we have a chance to know ourselves and to    the miracles of one another.
Since my first miracle,I've come to understand that the time and place for a miracle is    we choose to find it.

The other night as I was leaving my son's room. I noticed a hockey puck(冰球)sitting on his desk. It      me not only of an exciting hockey game he and I had      several years ago. but of a life lesson he had learned      .
During spring vacation from school,a friend gave us two      to a New York Rangers hockey game at Madison Square Garden. My son was very      because he is an avid Rangers fan,so we attended it.
The roar of the crowd was right from the moment the puck was      dropped. When the Rangers      first, the crowd cheered. My son got caught up in the moment and      joined in the crowd. When the Rangers scored a second time, it seemed as if the building would      from the noise. Three young men      in the row in front of us, probably in their early 20s, caught my      as my son sang along with the crowd. They smiled at us. We were all one happy and excited hockey      .
For my son, the victory was exciting. But that is not what he remembers about that night,      that's not his primary recollection. After the winning goal had been scored,the losing team's goalkeeper      the hockey puck out of the net behind him, and      it into the crowd. One of the three young men before us caught the puck and,      in one motion after catching it, threw it back to my son.
My son looked at the puck as if he had been given a golden     .
