About one hundred and seventy years ago there 1 a great general 2 name was Napoleon Bonaparte. He was leader of the French army, and France was 3 with nearly all the countries around. He wanted very much to take his soldiers into 4 , but between France and Italy there are high mountains called the Alps, 5 are covered with snow.

“Is it possible to cross the Alps?”said Napoleon.

The men who had been sent to look at the 6 over the mountains shook their heads.

Then one of them said,“It may be possible, but…”

“Let me hear 7 ,” said Napoleon. “ 8 to Italy.”

People 9 the thought of an army of sixty thousand men 10 the Alps when there was 11 road. 12 Napoleon waited only to see that everything was in good order, and then he gave the 13 to march.

The long line of soldiers and horses and cannons 14 for twenty miles. When they came to a 15 place where there seemed to be no way to go further, the trumpets(小号) sounded “ 16 !” Then every man 17 , and the whole army moved right forward.

Soon they were 18 over the Alps. In the next four days they were marching 19 the plain of Italy. “The man who has made up his mind to win,”said Napoleon,“will never say: 20 .”

Miss Wenter was watching TV when the program suddenly stopped. “Sorry to 　1 the program. Now we are requested to 　2 an important notice from the police station.

Thank you.” The terrible news made the lonely girl 　5 with fear. She couldn’t help looking around, but she didn’t notice that a man was already 　6 behind the door to the veranda (阳台).

All of a 　7 the man appeared before Miss Wenter.

“I’m Sergeant Bull, Miss Wenter. Is there something 　13 here?”

“No, there isn’t.” Immediately she added loudly, 　14 , my elder brother extends his 　15 greetings (问候) to you.”

Almost at the same time the glass on the window was broken. The policemen hurried into the room from the veranda. They quickly put handcuffs (手铐) on the robber.

“Miss Wenter, your greetings were so good that it made us take 　20 right away,” said Sergeant Bull, because we’ve already known that your elder brother was killed in a robbery half a year ago.”

I was assigned to take care of this patient a couple of weeks ago and began to grow closer to her. Communicating with her was 36 because everything she wanted to say to me had to be written on a notepad. As a nursing graduate, I was able to 37 her mind by observing even a slight 38 in a patient's facial expression.

One day, when I was checking the patient，she 39 me on the shoulder to show me a note，"Do you think I could be let go 40 the hospital in a month to see my niece get married?，，Taking her hand in mine, I told her that I could not 41 her，because I did not want to leave her a 42 sense of hope. 43，I made her believe that I would be there with her every step of the way on her journey toward 44 . Hearing that, the patient gave me a 45 and a hug.

Day by day, I built her 46 by walking around the floor with her. As I did this, I could see before my own eyes that her health was 47 improving and able to walk more steadily. On her last day in hospital, just before her niece’s 48 ，she wrote me one last note, “I couldn’t have done this 49 you; I love you.” After kissing goodbye, I had a strong sense of achievement. I realized that moments like this were 50 I woke up early for 51 in the hospital and spent long hours with her. I truly felt, and her 52 confirmed, that I was an 53 part of this woman’s recovery. My experience with this patient shows me that this career allows me to touch the 54 of people in ways that people in other 55 will never get to experience.

A farmer had some puppies（小狗）to 　36 . He painted a sign advertising the puppies and 　37__ nailing （钉）it to a post on the edge of his yard. As he was driving the last nail into the post, a little boy came to him.

“Mister,” he said, “I want to buy one of your puppies.”

“Well,” said the farmer, as he 　38 the sweat off his face, “these puppies come from fine parents and cost 　39 money. Do you have enough money?”

The boy 　 40　 his head for a moment. Then reaching into his pocket, he pulled out a handful of 　41 and held it up to the farmer. “I’ve got thirty-nine cents. Is that enough to take a look?” “Sure,” said the farmer. And with that he 　42 a whistle (口哨声), “Here, Dolly!” he called. 　43 from the doghouse and down the ramp ran Dolly 　 44 by four little balls of fur. The little boy’ eyes danced with delight. As the dogs made their 　45 to the fence, the little boy noticed something else stirring inside the doghouse. 　46　 another little ball appeared; this one noticeably smaller. Then in a somewhat 　 47　 manner the little pup began hobbling（蹒跚） toward the others, doing its best to 　 48　 .

“I want that one,” the little boy said, 　49　 to the smallest one. The farmer said, “Son, you don’t want that puppy. He will never be able to run and play with you 　50 these other dogs would.”

With that the little boy 　51 back from the fence, and began 　 52 　up one leg of his trousers. In doing so he exposed a steel support running down both sides of his leg 　53 itself to a specially made 　54　 . Looking back up at the farmer, he said, “You see sir, I don't 　55　 too well myself, and he will need someone who understands.”
