I believe the best heroes are often the ones who haven’t been publicly recognized. They’re someone’s hero just by living their life as 36, not necessarily struggling for anything particular outside of survival. They’re everyday ordinary people.

37, my greatest hero without doubt isn’t a famous person or someone who has a rags-to-riches (白手起家的) story. In fact, this person isn’t a 38 at all, but a heroine: my mother, who has been my greatest source of inspiration（鼓舞）.

A brief glance (一瞥) into this 39 woman’s life makes it clear. My mother was married to a man who drank like a fish almost every day. As Mother 40 to us later in life, she simply didn’t want us to be 41 by my father. So, one day she packed her seven kids into an old wagon (馬車(chē)), and headed back down south to Montgomery, Alabama.

At five foot three, she was a black lady with a small figure, with no college education. She did whatever she had to do to 42 as a single(單身的) parent and to successfully 43 all her children to adulthood.

By high school I had started to 44 my mother had achieved something 45 as a single parent. Then, when I was seventeen years old, I signed up(報(bào)名) for the Marine Corps. The day I 46 for basic training, my mother told me, a very thin and nervous black kid, four 47 words: “Just do your best.” That 48 may be a cliché (套話(huà)), but coming from her , it has given me a lifetime of powerful inspiration.

I’ve had my 49 of ups and downs in my life. Whenever meeting with any difficulty, I would 50 to myself, “If Mother overcame her challenges, I have no 51 not to do the same.” 52 I grew, I admired her for what she had achieved.

I graduated from community college with highest 53, and now I’m a student at Columbia University. Every step of the 54, I’ve been encouraged by the inspiration of my mother — my heroine. I’ve never 55. I’ve tried to do my best.

I think that sleeping is the most wonderful thing in the world. While 36 I do nothing, but close my eyes, leaving all my work behind. In fact, I __37 _get up early nearly every morning.

My classes begin at 8:00, but the teacher asks us to arrive before 7:15 so we have  38  time to prepare for the class. If you are 39   , you’ll lose one point. And when you reach 10 40  , parents’ visit to school will be a must. Though I think it’s  41  , I still don’t want to lose any points.

Proud of  51  , I took a deep breath and found that the early morning air is surprisingly  52_. I did some reading, finding that English is really beautiful. I hadn’t realized __53   that the morning is so wonderful.

We make a living with what we get，but we make a life with what we give．

    ——Winston Churchill

  I am willing to 36  this saying．I have been  37  at the Boston Children’s Hospital every year since 1 was thirteen．At the beginning，I only wanted to go  38  1 would get  39 for entertaining children at the hospital．After giving my time for two 40  months，my  40  changed completely．

    When l first  41  into the waiting room on the ground floor，I was very  42  that I  would be spending my entire summer with kids．As it became  43  for me to show up every day at 8 a．m．，many kids began to  44  me．To my surprise，I began looking forward to seeing their 45  faces as well．They were always enthusiastic about  46  ．My heart warmed every time I heard their 47  voices asking me for a story or an answer to a question．I felt  48  and irreplaceable．(不可替代的)．As I look back，I see the  49  that these special children have had on me．It is because of them that I have  50  a desire to become a psychologist．Recently，I have volunteered for a month．I have been asked to 51 on many different floors besides the waiting room  52  I started．The kids on the floors above are usually there for a longer time．53  their anxiety and desire to get better and go home，they always offer me a(n)  54  smile．I feel renewed after spending a day with them because I realize that there is much more to  55  than money．It is much more important to love and to be loved．

       The Florida sun baked my shoulders as I worked along the I-595 freeway near Fort Lauderdale, picking up rubbish. I paused to  36  the sweat off  my forehead and look up at the cloudless blue sky.“  37  can’t it rain?” I thought. That would   38  things down.

       I thought about my  39  , who were probably sitting in an air-conditioned  40  right now.
