籾朕双燕(淫凄基宛才盾裂)

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%.

  After I put down the phone, I  48 . Tears kept coming out. I didn¨t want to  49 it. I couldn¨t accept the  50 that my mom might not have much time left. I cried and cried and at last, I stopped crying. I thought I should stop acting like a  51 and pull myself together.

  Looking back to when my mom first got cancer, I  52 how stupid I was for not appreciating her. I feel bad that I didn¨t visit her in the hospital. I should have cared. She¨s my mom.  53 , it¨s not too late. She recovered. I¨ll try to spend more time with my mom  54 . I hope you will do the same for your mom. Spend some time with your loved ones  55 it is too late.

  ^If you haven't got anything interesting   1 , don't say   anything   2  �� ̄ That's   3  mothers   and fathers sometimes   4  their young children��It   is not rather a good way   5  the children shut up��However,   the Maxism may be worth remembering��

        

  If you are   6  speaking   7  , have you   8  had to stand   up in front of a crowd, knees trembling to speak? You have almost certainly been bored by   one of those public speakers who can make even   9  seem endless��In our new radio series Speak Out, we examine the art of speaking   in English, and take a look at the trick people use to draw and hold the attention of an   audience��

        

  The series is based on actual speeches   10  during a public   speaking competition organized by the English Speaking Union��Every year the ESU invites pupils from schools all   11  Britain   to choose a subject then come to London and give their   12  speeches in front of the   audience��

        

  The young speakers-all   13  their mid-teens are judged on their   general ability,   14  on their originality and mastery of the subject��We have   15  some of the speeches and you will   be able to listen to them in the Speak Out programs��

   37  she asked me, ^What if we 38  this a smile car wash? ̄ I couldn¨t hold back my tears and  39  her and the other kids to go outside the house and come up with  40  ideas��While I kept myself busy in drying the car, the gang walked up to me with a��n�� 41  with beautiful images of smiles��They had ^Free Car Wash ̄ written on it and the  42  of their exercise was ^smile ̄��It was pretty neat to see a team of kids ranging 5-11 years with the 43  to do something for others��

    All that seemed 44  and came right from their heart��Nothing seemed to  45  to them: their playtime, the heat outside!they just wanted to  46 others and do something nice in the community!

    I helped them make some fresh lemonade and brought out some additional  47 to help clean cars��Passers-by were  48  and one even shouted back to them saying ^God Bless You, my kids´ ̄ One of them even tried giving them 5 dollars, which they refused��A pretty heartwarming  49  !
