籾朕双燕(淫凄基宛才盾裂)
Yesterday, after telling my brother, Rhys, and me to stop playing like wild animals, Mom went to take a bath. We were having a pillow fight when 36 one hit a vase. Mom 37 the loud crash. Wasting no time, she came 38 into the room. I was sure that she was going to shout at us, but instead she just knelt by the 39 and began to cry.
This made Rhys and me feel pretty 40 . We went over and put our arms around her, and she explained to us why she was so upset. In the pieces 41 a broken glass rose, one petal (雑郁)gone, which was given by Dad on their first wedding anniversary. Dad had said that if he ever forgot to bring flowers home 42 an anniversary in the future, Mom was to look at that one. It was like their love!it would last a 43 .
We began crying, and 44 to glue it. But Mom said that wouldn¨t really fix it. 45 it had been broken, the 46 of the ^limited edition ̄ had reduced. As Mom 47 began to pick up the mess, we tried everything we could think of to 48 her up, but even our best funny faces didn¨t 49 . Tears kept coming down her cheeks. Everything was picked up. Seeing Mom going back to the bath, I 50 her and put both hands on her shoulders, saying, ^All things can be 51 ��Mom. The only thing that cannot be broken is our 52 . It¨s the only thing that can never be broken.  ̄
Mom hugged me very tightly and 53 smiled. After dinner that night, Mom glued the petal back onto the rose. Then she softly said, ^My rose is truly unique. Its tiny damage reminds me of 54 more important��the realization that love 55 forever.  ̄

Last year, my mom found out that she had stomach cancer. I thought she¨d be fine after she got 36 as she was diagnosed(寶僅)early. She had an operation to 37 a third of her stomach to stop the cancer from spreading. And for two months she went back and forth to the 38 . But I never visited her because I was 39 with school abroad and didn¨t fully know what was 40 . After her treatment, she 41 working because of her poor health and ate a(n) 42 diet. I visited her in the summer holiday. She seemed better, so I forgot that there was a possibility of cancer 43 .
When school 44 , I said goodbye to my family. My mom called me from home every day. 45 in early November, my dad called instead. He sounded 46 .
^What¨s wrong? How come Mom¨s not calling me today? ̄ I asked. After a few seconds, he said my mom¨s cancer had returned and spread throughout her 47 . Her survival rate was less than 30%.

The books in David¨s schoolbag felt like bricks as he ran down the street. What he wanted to do was to play basketball with Eric, 41 his mother told him he would have to return his sister¨s books to the library first.
He had 42 set foot in a library and he wasn¨t about to do so today. He would just 43 the books in the outside return box. But there was a 44 ; it was locked.
He went into the building, only a few minutes 45 closing time. He put the books into the return box. And after a brief 46 in the toilet, he would be on his way to the playground to 47 Eric.
David stepped out of the toilet and stopped in 48 --the library lights were off. The place was 49 . The doors had been shut. They 50 be opened from the inside. He was trapped -- in a library!
He tried to 51 a telephone call, but was unable to 52 . What¨s worse, the pay phones were on the outside of the building. 53 the sun began to set, he searched for a light and found it.
54 he could see. David wrote on a piece of paper: ^ 55 ! I¨m TRAPPED inside! ̄ and stuck it to the glass door. 56 , someone passing by would see it.
He was surprised to discover that this place was not so unpleasant 57 . Rows and rows of shelves held books, videos and music. He saw a book about Michael Jordan and took it off the shelf. He calmed down, settled into a chair and started to 58 .

It was just getting dark. There was a touch of fog and I was on a lonely stretch of road. 36 I was going along cheerfully, thinking about the dinner I would eat when I got to Salistury .
I was going along 37 at about thirty-five miles an hour when suddenly I heard a scream, a 38 scream--- ^ Help!  ̄ I looked round, but the only 39 of life was a large, black, rather suspicious--looking�┸敏謬庁�car just 40 a bend in the road about a hundred yards away. That was where the cry had come from. I 41 speed and went after it. I think the driver saw what I was doing, for he did the same and began to draw 42 me. As I drew near, the girl¨s voice came again, a lovely voice but trembling with 43 .
^Let me go, you coward; you¨re hurting me. Oh ! Oh !  ̄
I felt my 44 boil. The fog was coming down 45 now, and the countryside was lonelier. I had no 46 that the murderous guy in the car noticed this. Again came a cry.
^Drop that knife, you fool. Oh !  ̄ Then a cry and a groan��赴哇��.
If I was to save her, it was now or 47 . Perhaps even now I was too late. But if I couldn¨t save the girl, I would at least try to bring the murderer to 48 . The car was only a couple of yards away now. I drove the bike right across its 49 , and its brakes��媛概��screamed as the driver tried to pull it over and 50 into the ditch�┨毅�at the side of the road. The door of the car was pushed open angrily and a dark, evil-looking fellow stepped out .
^You fool! ̄ he shouted as he came towards me with his fist raised to hit me. But I was 51 than he. I put all I could into 52 that would have knocked out Joe Louis. It 53 him right on the point of the chin; his 54 slowly bent under him, and he dropped to the ground without a sound. I rushed to the car, 55 open the door and looked inside. There was no girl there. Suddenly from the back of the car came a voice.
^You have been listening to a radio play, Murder in Hollywood, with Mae Garbo and Clark Taylor. The news will follow immediately .  ̄

Once many years ago, I pulled a family out of a burning car somewhere in Wyoming. Last week I 36 a telephone call from a woman who could not stop 37 as she told me that one of the stories in my book had saved her son from committing suicide.(徭姫) In closing she called me a 38 .
That 39 me thinking about what a hero really is. Was I a hero 40 I pulled a family from a burning car? If so, how could I be a hero just because I 41 a story that saved someone¨s life?
Today I decided to look up the word ^hero ̄ in the dictionary to see 42 what it meant. It 43 ^a person who does something brave ̄. As I read on, it also said ^ a person who is good and noble ̄.
That statement 44 me more than the part about being 45 . So I thought about something very important. Say I was walking into the local Wal-Mart Store and I 46 to open and hold the door for someone as a courtesy (撰嘆) . As they passed me by, I said, ^How are you today? ̄ Most of the time that would be no big deal, 47 this time let¨s say it was for someone who was deeply 48 and near the end of the rope.
I was in such a condition after my marriage of twenty years ended. I was within hours trying to get up enough 49 to end the pain and misery. When I returned home, someone had 50 me a card in the mail which told me how 51 they would appreciate me as a friend. That wonderful card probably saved my life. That person, without even knowing it, saved a life and became a hero.
Similarly many children come out of the orphanages (溝隅垪) 52 a very hard and bitter attitude against the world, but the gifts we send them let them know that they have not been forgotten. 53 , most of them will never hurt anyone because of the 54 shown to them by those of us who cared. If it 55 , we will also become ^heroes ̄.
