For years I wanted a flower garden. I would spend hours thinking of the different things I could        that would look nice together.
But then I had five lovely children: Matthew and Marvin, the twins Alisa and Alan, and then Helen. I was too        raising them to grow a garden.
Money was tight (緊的) ,as well as time. When my children were little, if they wanted something that         too much I’d have to say, “Do you see a money        outside? Money doesn’t grow on trees, you know.”
Finally, all five got through high school and college, and started living on their own. And I started thinking again about having a        .
One spring morning, on Mother’s Day, I        the window and was surprised to see a new tree in my yard. I put my glasses on and I couldn’t believe what I was looking at. There was a money tree in my yard!
I went outside to look. It was true! There was as much as one hundred       on that tree. All I could think of was all the garden flowers I could        with that money! There was also a(an)       attached(附上): “ Love, Marvin.”
My other       had bought me tools, ornaments(裝飾物) and gardening books.
That was three years ago. My garden is now very      , just the way I wanted.
I’m still not sure whether money        on trees. But I know love does!

I did very badly at school. My headmaster thought I was       and when I was 14 he said, “You’re never going to be         but a failure.”

On arrival in the downtown El Paso, I came across an old man, a bum(流浪漢) on the street corner. He     me and asked if I was running away from home. I     him, “Not exactly, sir.” The old man wanted me to follow him to see     great. We walked a couple of blocks until we came upon the downtown El Paso Public    .
He asked me to sit down while he was looking for something     between the shelves. A few moments    , he returned with a couple of old books. He then sat down,     , “There are two things that I want to teach you Number one is     to judge a book by its cover, for a cover can     you. As a matter of fact, I am one of the     men in the world and have all the things that money can buy.     a year ago, my wife died, and since then l have been     thinking about my life. I realized there were certain things I had not yet     in life, one of which was     it would be like to live like a     on the streets. I promised to do     that for one year. For the past year, I have been going from city to city doing just that. So, you see, don't ever judge a     by its cover, for a cover can fool you “
“Number two is to learn how to read, my boy. For there is     one thing that people can't take away from you, and that is your     .” At that moment, he put my right hand in his and put them upon the books he had     from the shelves. They were the writings of Plato(柏拉圖) and Aristotle(亞里斯多德)—great classics from ancient times.

Coming home after working out for a whole day I had my purse lost.I     it had slipped out my backpack as I was being     .While it was probably very close to my apartment it still failed to come into       and I had no       but to cancel my debit cards.

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!

Have you ever not wanted to do something so badly? Well,that’s how I     about joining Madcaps,a mothers and daughters’club assisting charity.      ,my feeling changed finally. Now I believe if you adopt an     attitude.you might just      enjoying it.
Six months ago,my mom told me the club asked us to work as     at Saint Vincent de Paul Homeless shelter.That meant I had to     in the dirty homeless shelter for at least  20  hours.

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.

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     . "Why did that man give me the puck?"  I explained to my son that the man had given him the puck be­cause he knew how      it would make him to have a souvenir from the game, and not just any souvenir, but the puck that had been the      goal in a shootout. It was obvi­ous that he knew it would      more to my son than it would to him.
