After killing Osama Bin Laden and dropping his body into the ocean to avoid causing more hatred fro, the Muslims , the American government recently released a video of Osama Bin Laden living in his safe house watching TV , which has been viewed millions of times . The following are comments made by viewers .

B. I hate saying this but is believe America deserved 9/11 … They have screwed up so many governments ….
C. I’m American and I and my brother suspected the whole story about dropping him into the ocean . We feel if they really killed him they would keep his body for proof .

E. Please give me the 2 minutes of my life back that I watched your pointless and fake video .
F. Man ? Why is this video fake ? Rather than shouting about how it’s obviously not Osama , why not provide the arguments for it instead of coming off as if you simply want to deny it for the sake of denial .
G. What a load of nonsense , an insult to any intelligent person , Bin Laden dead for ages … watch Benazir Bhutto say so on YouTube a week before she herself was murdered . The Muslims murdered her for being an American spy !

That holiday morning I didn’t have to attend school. Usually, on holidays, Mother   36   me to sleep in. And I would certainly take full advantage of it. On this particular morning,  ___37___,I felt like getting up early.

I stood by my window overlooking the ___38___, having nothing better to do. But as it turned out, I was soon to learn about something ___39___ in life.

As I watched several people go by, get into their cars and go off, I ___40___ an old man on a bicycle with a bucket on its ___41___ and a basket rags and bottles on its back-carriage. He ___42___ from one car to another, washing and cleaning them. From the water on the ground, it seemed that he had already ___43___ washing and cleaning about a dozen or more cars. He must have begun to work quite early in the morning.

Several thoughts ___44___my mind as I watched him work. He wasn’t well-dressed. He had on a pair of shorts and a(n) ___45___ T-shirt. The bicycle he rode was not by any means the kind modern ___46___would want to be seen riding on. But he seemed___47___ with life. There he was, working hard at his small business, ___48___ at passers-by and stopping to chat now and then ___49___ elderly men and women on their way to the market nearby.

There was a noticeable touch of___50___ in the way he seemed to be doing things— ___51___the windscreen (挡风玻璃), then standing back to admire it; scrubbing (擦净) the wheels and ___52___, standing back to see what they look like after the scrub.

It was a ___53___ to learn, I felt. At no age need one have to beg for a ___54___if one has good health and is willing to work hard. For a while I felt ___55__ of myself.

In 1956 Phoenix, Arizona, was a city with boundless blue skies. One day as I walked around the house with my sister Kathy’s new parakeet （小鹦鹉）on my finger, I wanted to show Perky 16_____ the sky looked like. Maybe he could make a little bird friend out there. I took him into the backyard, and then, to my 17______, Perky flew off. The enormous（巨大的）, blue sky swallowed up my sister’s blue  treasure and suddenly he had gone, clipped wings and all.

Kathy managed to forgive me. With fake optimism（乐观）, she even tried to reassure （安慰）me that Perky would find a new  18 ______. But I was far too clever to 19______ that such a thing was possible.

Decades later, I watched my own 20_______ growing. We shared their activities, spending soccer Saturdays in folding chairs with the parents of the kids’ friends, the Kissells. The two families went camping around Arizona together. We became the best of friends. One evening, the game was to tell Great Pet stories. One person claimed（宣称） to 21______ the oldest living goldfish. Someone else had a psychic dog. Then Barry, the father of the other family, took the floor and 22 ________ that the Greatest Pet of All Time was his blue parakeet, Sweetie Pie.

"The best thing 23______ Sweetie Pie," he said, "was the way we got him. One day, when I was about eight, out of the clear, blue sky, a little blue parakeet just floated down and landed on my finger."

When I was finally able to 24_______ , we examined the amazing evidence（证据）. The dates and the locations and the pictures of the bird all matched up. It seems our two families had been connected long before we ever met. Forty years later, I ran to my sister and said, "You were 25_______! Perky lived!"
