Mr.Gray traveled a lot on business. He sold machines of various kinds to famers, which he thought not really a very _36_ job, but he had always been interested in _37_, and he was quite satisfied with his life. He had a big_38_, and usually enjoyed driving it long distances, but he was also quite_39_to go by train sometimes too especially when the weather was_40_. He was a little frightened of driving in the rain or snow, and it was _41_tiring to sit comfortably in a train and look out of the windows without being worried about how one was going to get to the next place. One of Mr. Gray’s  _42_was often where to stay when he reached some small _43_in the country. He did not expect _44_and wonderful food, but he found it annoying when he was given a cold room, and when there was no hot water _45_ good food after a long and tiring day.
Late one winter evening, Mr. Gray arrived at a small railway station. The journey by train that _46_had not been at all interesting, and Mr. Gray was cold and tired and _47_. He was looking forward to a _48_but satisfying meal by a brightly burning _49_, and then a hot bath and a comfortable bed. While he was walking to the taxi stand, he said to a local man who was also _50_there. “As this is my _51_visit to this part of the country and I was in too much of a hurry to find out about a hotel before I _52_home, I would very much like to know how many you have here.” The local man answered, “We have two.” “And which of the two would you _53_me to go to?” Mr. Gray asked then. The local man scratched his _54_ for a few moments and then answered, “Well, it’s like this: _55_one you go to, you’ll be sorry you didn’t go to the other.”

Two men, both seriously ill, were in the same hospital room. One man was allowed to1 up in his bed for an hour each afternoon. His bed was2 the room’s only window. The other man on the other side of the room had to3 all his time lying on his back in bed.
Every afternoon when the man by the window could sit up he4 pass the time by describing to his5 all the things he could see outside the window. “The window overlooks a6 with a lovely lake. Ducks and swans play on the water 7 children sail their model boats. Young lovers walk8 among flowers of every colour. Grand old trees grace(装扮) the landscape, and a fine9 of the city skyline can be seen in the distance.” As the man by the window10 all this in detail, the man on the other side of the room would close his eyes and11 the scene.
Days and weeks passed. On morning, the day nurse came only to find the man by the window had died12 in his sleep. When the man’s body was13, the other man asked if he could be moved next to the14. The nurse agreed and after making sure he was15, she left. Slowly and painfully, the man raised himself16 to take his first look at the17 world outside by himself. But to his18, he found it faced nothing19 a blank wall.
In fact, the man by the window was20 and could not even see the wall. He just wanted to encourage his roommate.

One day a small group of young people were at a wildlife park on a field trip.
“Oh, look at her, she's so beautiful.” All of us1a cheetah(印度豹)named Subira in respect-except a teenage boy called Cory in the back row, who seemed to be2to himself in impatience. When several members of the group turned in his3, he brushed the front of his T-shirt as though to4dust, and, in a gesture clearly meaning to5us, rolled up the right sleeve (袖子)of his shirt, further showing his well-developed6.
Cory had7of playing professional baseball someday. No one doubted Cory's8. But that was before the car accident. Not only did Cory lose a9in the accident but his hope and his spirit.
Seeing such a large audience, Subira couldn’t wait to give the crowd a10of her skills. “How fast she runs!” one shouted. “But she only has three legs.” one cried.
No one was more11than Cory. He stared at the animal with the missing leg and he smiled, tears of hope in his12.
Looking13into Cory' s face, the organizer explained “It was soon after she came to us that she showed her own worth-a14gift of love and spirit. In the past few years, the gift of Subira has15people around the world，and without words Subria has become our most persuasive16, and the most priceless gift.”
Cory asked17, “Can I touch her?”
As the rest of the group looked on in amazement, the boy wheeled himself over to the large gate and18to push it open. The expression on his face was one of great19. It was clear that Cory had20the gift of Subira.

Butch O’Hare was a fighter pilot. One day his entire squadron(中队)was sent on a mission. In the air after taking off, he realized that someone had1 to fill up the tank. He would not have enough2 to complete his flight and get back to his ship. His flight3 told him to return to the carrier (航空母舰).
As he was returning to the mother4 , he saw something that turned his blood5 . A squadron of Japanese planes was speeding their way toward the6 fleet(舰队).The fleet was defenseless. He couldn’t7 his squadron and brings them back in time to save the fleet. Nor could he8 the fleet of the coming danger.
There was only one thing to do. He9 force the Japanese away from the fleet. Laying aside all the thoughts of personal10 , he dove his plane into the formation of Japanese11 . His plane fired hard as he charged in, attacking one12 enemy plane and then another. Butch fired at as many planes as possible until all his ammunition(弹药)13 . Bravely he continued the fighting. He dove at the planes,14 to hit the enemy planes in hopes of15 as many enemy planes as possible.16, the angry Japanese squadron flew away in another17 . With a great weight taken off his18 Butch O’Hare and his damaged fighter came back to the carrier.
The film from the camera on his plane told the19 . It showed Butch’s daring action to20 his fleet. He had in fact destroyed five enemy aircraft. He became an American hero.
