We have been driving in fog all morning, but the fog is lifting now. The little seaside villages are   , one by one. "There is my grandmother's house," I say,      across the bay to a shabby old house.
I am in Nova Scotia on a pilgrimage (朝圣) with Lise, my granddaughter, seeking roots for her, retracing (追溯)      memory for me. Lise was one of the mobile children,      from house to house in childhood. She longs for a sense of      , and so we have come to Nova Scotia where my husband and I were born and where our ancestors      for 200 years.
We soon     by the house and I tell her what it was like here, the memories    back, swift as the tide (潮水).
Suddenly, I long to walk again in the     where I was once so gloriously a child. It still    a member of the family, but has not been lived in for a while. We cannot go into the house, but I can still walk      the rooms in memory. Here, my mother      in her bedroom window and wrote in her diary. I can still see the enthusiastic family      into and out of the house. I could never have enough of being      them. However, that was long after those childhood days. Lise       attentively as I talk and then says, " So this is where I     ; where I belong. "
She has      her roots. To know where I come from is one of the great longings of the human     To be rooted is "to have an origin". We need      origin. Looking backward, we discover what is unique in us; learn the        of "I". We must all go home again—in reality or memory.

Frank laughed as he tried to tear at the wrapping paper on his birthday present. He was so     ! Finally, he would have the coolest pair of name-brand basketball shoes.
All the guys on his team were wearing the name-brand shoes of a popular basketball   _, Chuck Hart. While Hart was   for his poor sportsmanship and infamous   , he was a great player. In fact, Frank wasn't thinking about Hart’s behavior; he had only expected to see Hart’s      on the side of the box. The first indication that something was      came as he tore away the last piece of paper. Not Hart’s. The new shoes were the name-brand of another player, Robert Ryann, who was      for his amazing work in the community.
Frank’s hands      ; his heart stopped. It wasn't that the Ryann shoes weren’t nice, but what would his friends think ?
They were the wrong shoes and Frank would be      by the other players. When he looked up into his dad’s eyes, however, Frank decided he     not tell him. “Thanks, Dad. I was really hoping for shoes,” Frank said as he pulled the shoes out of the box.
The next morning his dad drove him to school. When they      in front of his destination, Frank slowly opened the car door. Just then, his dad stopped him.
“Hey, Frank, wait a minute, look…” his dad said      ,“Frank, I know those aren’t the shoes you had hoped for, but I saw the names of the two guys and made a(n)     . The guy whose name is on those shoes,” he said, pointing down at Frank’s feet, “is someone I      . Do you know how often Ryann has found himself in     ?”
“No,” Frank said.
“Never. He’s never talked back to his coach or started a fight, and he’s a team player. You could have acted like a (n)      when you didn’t get the shoes you wanted, Frank ,      you were polite and made the best of it. You have such a good      , like the guy whose name is on these shoes. I’m hoping that someday, your name will be on the coolest pair of shoes I’ll ever see.”
When Frank looked down at his feet, he saw the shoes      . His dad had used his mind and heart to give the son a thoughtful      .

The Johnson family from England believe they are lucky to be alive after surviving an incredible incident off the coast of Australia. The Johnsons had been ____ that they might see some whales when they were ____ a yacht—a large expensive boat for a 10-day sailing ____ around the Whitsunday Islands. ____, they had no clue just how ____ their viewing would be. Two hours into their journey a nine-meter-long humpback whale ____ out of the ocean and crashed into their boat before returning to the water.
  Mark Johnson,the eldest son,was sailing the yacht when he heard an immense bang and a thud (重?fù)袈?. He ____ thought the yacht had hit a rock. But when he looked up, he saw the whale ____ down the deck of the boat. He told the reporters, “We were staring into its right eye. It was a very ____ moment. The eye was about the ____ of a dinner plate. It was huge!”
  ____ for the Johnson family, no one was hurt, but the yacht suffered ____ damage. The whale had ruined the mast and rigging—the pole and ropes which hold the ____ —and so the family was left with no way at sea, 10 miles from the shore. The ____ equipment was also damaged, but fortunately they had a cell phone and were able to call for help.

Bad luck is no stranger to this 44-year-old man. His mother died of cancer, and his weak father had to    11-year-old David to the care of the state.
Things seemed always to go from bad to    . Two years ago, his beloved guide dog pulled him out of the    of a truck. David was not hurt. The dog    .
But David does not feel sorry for himself. "These are just little obstacles (障礙) you have to    in your life," he said.
He has to make a daily two-hour trip to his working place -- the X-ray department of an _  room.
It was a hard job to   . Before he got it, David was determined to escape the workshop ran by the Lighthouse, an organization    to help blind people. He wanted a job of developing X-ray film, something   , not just he, must do in the dark, including people with    eyesight. The Lighthouse called many hospitals, with no result,    they offered to pay his first three months' salary.
David works alone in a dark room that    of chemicals. He cannot wear gloves.   , he could not feel. Since this is an emergency room, lives can be put    or out of danger. His directress says she trusts him 100 percent.

Another secret of animals’ survival is telepathy(心靈感應(yīng)). This sense becomes atrophied(衰退) in man, but a(n)   1 thought-communication functions in animals. Elsa, the lioness, frequently    2   when George and I intended to visit her camp, even though it    3  180 miles from our home in Isiolo. On most     4   when we made our irregular visit she was waiting for us. By following the spoor(野獸的足跡),we     5   that she had sometimes walked 50 or 60 miles to meet us.
The same thing    6  when I took Elsa’s sisters to Nairobi to be flown to the Rotterdam zoo, Elsa’s zoo. Elsa stayed behind with George in Isiolo 180 miles     7   . He did not know when I was coming back, no person knew. But Elsa knew. On the morning of my     8   she sat down at the entrance and wouldn’t make any     9   until I arrived in the evening.
I have known this kind of thought-communication with the animal with whom I’ve lived. When Elsa died, I woke in the night, knowing what had happened, even though I was several miles away. The same thing     10   later with one of Pippa’s cubs.
I don’t     11   this sensitivity with my own kind. Feel far more in tune with what is going on when I am in the bush than when I am in London on Nairobi. We don’t know much yet about this telepathy from which gland(腺體) it comes, or how it    12  . But if men could awaken or    13   it in themselves, and then cooperate by trusting each other,    14    fearing and treating one another    15  , the world would be a far better place.
