9．"I will fight till forever!Whenever you knock me down，I will not stay on the ground．"This is"Never Say Never"，a song which is worthy of（61）being listened（listen） to．It （62）inspires（inspire） us to keep trying and never give up when we are in trouble，difficulty，or （63）failure（fail）．
But last week I saw a TV show，（64）where a scholar told people to learn to give up sometimes．He told the audience the following story．Once，he met a boy named John，who was not good at studying but skilled in cooking．So he suggested that the boy （65）（should） give （give） up the subjects that he wasn't good at and focus on his own （66）strength（strong）----cooking．The boy took his advice and devoted （67）himself to cooking．And now，the boy has become an outstanding cook----he has won a lot of awards in national cooking competitions．This story proves that giving up is not a bad thing．First，we should make a correct （68）judgement （judge）：What are our limitations？And what are our advantages？Then，by giving up something and sticking to something，we can find the access （69）to the goal we want to achieve．Therefore，what we need is to find the right place，（70）otherwise/or we will not be successful．

8．Jane'house （65）was destroyed （destroy） after a massive earthquake struck her town，on Monday in Chile．Last year，she lost her husband of over 40years，Edgar．In the earthquake's rubble （瓦礫），Jane was in search （66）of Edgar's wedding ring．"Digging and praying．Digging and praying，"she told local station Fox 59．"It was everything to me，because that's one thing that I had，"she said．
Jane had been visiting her friend in another country when the earthquake happened．She returned to find her home （67）completely（complete） in pieces．"This was the house that love built，"she told WTHR．
Without her husband （68）andher house，she was （69）determined （determine） to find the ring．But finding the exact position of it among the piles of rubble seemed to be（70）hopeless（hope）．
Somehow，her brother spotted something under a piece of the roof and called her over．The ring，（71）buried（bury） in the rubble，had turned up．
"It was a miracle，"Jane said．"We both just hugged each other，crying．That was （72）what I had searched for，"
When all was lost，（73）the special ring he left was finally found．
"I'm very strong with my （74）belief （believe） and I know that God is in control of everything，the good and the bad，"Jane said．

   There wasn't much he could do but look out of the window．One day，he saw a monkey，busy（68）blowing（blow） up a balloon．After a while，as more and more crazy-looking characters appeared outside（69）thewindow，he burst out laughing and found it hard to stop．He couldn't have seen（70）funnier（funny） things：a pig playing a tambourine （小手鼓），an elephant jumping on a trampoline （彈床），and a d og wearing a pair of glasses…Before long，his（71）physical （phy sics） condition improved so much that he was able to go back to school again．
   There he got to talk to his friends，and tell （72）themall the strange things he had seen．While he was talking to his best friend，he saw （73）somethingsticking out of his friend's school bag．The boy asked his friend（74）whatit was，and he was so insistent （堅(jiān)持的） that finally his friend had to show him what was in the bag：There，inside，were all the fancy-dress suits and disguises （偽裝品）（75）that  his best friend had been using to try to cheer the little boy up!
