8."Just sign here,sir,"the deliveryman said as he handed Oscar Reyna a package.
The package consisted of a long,narrow box (21)carefully wrapped in brown paper.(22)opening the box,Oscar saw an umbrella inside--a very old one with a beautifully carved handle.(23)AlthoughHe had not seen it in more than 20years,he recognized it (24)immediately.
Oscar was 16when he first saw the (25)typical umbrella.He had gone to a concert with his grandparents.As they were leaving,he noticed an umbrella on an empty seat.Impressed by its (26)beauty,Oscar felt a strong desire to find its (27)owner.
Oscar (28)convinced the manager to look in the record of advance ticket sales.Just as he thought,a name matched the seat (29)where Oscar had found the umbrella.The name was Mrs.Katie O'brien.
Oscar talked his grandparents into going by Mrs O'brien's (30)house on their way home.He rang the bell,the door opened,and an elderly woman appeared."May I (31)help you?"she asked.
"I'd like to return it if its yours,"Oscar said,(32)holdingout the umbrella as if presenting a (33)gift that had long been wished for.
"Why,yes!it's mine,"replied Mrs.Brien with a (34)wide smile and shining eyes."It was given to by my father years ago.Thank you so much for returning it.May I offer you a reward for your (35)kindness?"
"No,ma'am,"he said"my grandmother says a good deed is its own reward."
"Well,that's (36)exactly my father used to say.What is your name,Young man?"
Years later,Oscar was staring at the finely carved handle of the umbrella as he remember Mrs.O'Brien.It was in perfect condition,considering how(37)old it was.Why had it arrived here today?
As if (38)inanswer,a note fell from the paper.It read:Mrs O'brien wanted you to (39)accept this umbrella as a present for a kind,(40)unselfishgesture long ago.

3.One day,Nick invited his friends to supper.He was cooking some delicious food in the kitchen.Suddenly,he (16)found   (find) that he had run out of salt.So Nick called to his son,"Go to the village and buy some salt,but pay a fair price for it:neither too much (17)nor   too little."
His son looked surprised."I can understand why I shouldn't pay too much,F(xiàn)ather,but if I can pay less,
(18)why   not save a bit of money?"
"That would be a very (19)reasonable   (reason) thing to do in a big city,but it could destroy a small village like ours,"Nick said.
Nick's guests,(20)who   had heard their conversation,asked why they should not buy salt more cheaply if they could.Nick replied,"The only reason a man would sell salt (21)at   a lower price would be because he was desperate for money.And anyone who took advantage of that situation would be showing a lack of respect (22)for   
the sweat and struggle of the man who worked very hard to produce it."
"But such a small thing couldn't (23)possibly   (possible) destroy a village."
"In the beginning,there was only (24)a   very small amount of unfairness in the world,but everyone added a little,always (25)thinking   (think) that it was only small and not very important,and look where we have ended up today."

20.From my second grade on,there was one event I feared every year:the piano recital(獨(dú)奏演唱會(huì)).A recital (36)meantI had to practice a boring piece of music and perform before strangers.Each year I (37)wouldask my father if I could skip the recital"just this once".And each year he would shake his head,muttering(嘀咕) (38)somethingabout build self-confidence and working toward a (39)goal.
So it was with really great(40)satisfactionthat I stood in church one recent Sunday,video camera in hand,and (41)keptmy 68-year-old father sweating in his shirt (42)beforerising 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)affordlessons.He could have gone on regretting it,(44)astoo many of us do.But though he was rooted in his past,he wasn't (45)stuckthere.When he retired three years ago,he (46)persuaded his church music director to take him as a student.
For a moment after my father sat down at the keyboard,he (47)simplystared down at his fingers.Has he forgotten the (48)notes?I worried,remembering those split seconds(49)decadesago when my mind would go blank and my fingers would (50)freeze.But then came the beautiful melody(旋律),from the(51)samefingers that once baited(裝餌于) my fishing lines.And I(52)realizedhe had been doing what music teachers always stress:(53)concentrateonthe music and pretend the others aren't there.
"I'm (54)proudof him for starting something new at his age,"I said to my son Jeff.
"Yeah,and doing it so(55)nicely,"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.
