7、In Glasgow, Scotland, a young lady, like a lot of teens today, got tired of home. The daughter objected to her family’s   1   lifestyle and said, “I don’t want your God. I am leaving!”

She left home. Before long, she was disappointed and unable to find a job, so she took to the streets to do everything she could to   2  . Many years passed by, her father died, her mother grew   3  , and the daughter became more and more entrenched （固執(zhí)）in her way of life.

No contact was made between mother and daughter during these years. The mother, having   4   her daughter’s whereabouts, went to the poor part of the city in   5   of her daughter. She stopped at each of the rescue missions （收容所）with a simple   6  . “Would you allow me to   7   this picture?” It was a picture of the smiling, gray-haired mother with a handwritten   8   at the bottom: “I love you still … come home!”

One day the daughter wandered into a rescue mission for a hot meal. She sat   9   listening to the service, all the while letting her   10   wander over to the bulletin board. There she saw the picture and thought, could that be my mother?

She couldn’t   11   until the service was over. She stood and went to look. It was her mother, and there were those words, “I love you still … come home!”  12   she stood in front of the picture, she wept. It was too   13   to be true.

It was night, but she was so   14   by the message that she started walking home.  15   the time she arrived it was early in the morning. She was afraid and   16   her way timidly （膽怯地）. As she knocked, the door   17   open on its own. She thought someone must have broken into the house. Concerned for her mother’s   18  , the young woman ran to the bedroom and shook her mother awake and said, “It’s me! It’s me! I’m home!”

The mother couldn’t believe her eyes. They fell into each other’s arms. The daughter said, “I was so worried and   19   someone had broken in.” The mother replied gently, “No, dear. From the day you left, that door has never been   20  .”

6、Are you too old for fairy tales? If you think so, Copenhagen is sure to change your mind. See the city first from the water. In the harbor sits Denmark’s best-known landmark: the Little Mermaid. Remember her? She left the world of the sea people in search of becoming a human in one of Hans Christian Andersen’s beloved fantasies. From the harbor you can feel “city of green spires （尖頂）”. At dawn or on a cloudy day, the copper-covered spires of old castles and churches give the city a dream-like atmosphere. You’ll think that you’ve stepped into a watercolor painting.

Copenhagen is a city made for people. You don’t have to hurry to walk through the city’s center in less than an hour. Exploring it will take much longer, but that’s easy. Copenhagen is the first city to make a street for walking only. The city has less traffic, noise, and pollution than any other European capital.

Churches and castles are almost all remains of the original city. Copenhagen became the capital of Denmark in 1445. During the late 16th century, trade grew, and so did the city. But fires in 1728 and 1795 destroyed the old wooden buildings. Much of what we see today is from the 19th and early 20th centuries.

Look at one of the spires up close — really close — at the 17th-century Church of Our Savior. Brave people may climb the 150 stairs winding outside the spire to its top. If you are afraid of heights, or if it’s a windy day, you can forget about the climb. But then you’ll miss the beautiful view.

To see people having fun, and to have some fun yourself, cross Andersens Boulevard and enter Tivoli Gardens. You won’t be alone. More than five million people a year come here. They come to dance, eat, listen to outdoor and indoor concerts, watch ballets and laugh during comedy shows. One tip: Bring a lot of money. About 20 restaurants are among the city’s most expensive. Even without money, though, you can still enjoy the proud old trees, the coloured night lights and the beautiful gardens. You might feel as if you were in a fairy tale.
