Twist was the name of an old champion racing horse. He was past thirty years old, but the heart of the true 36 still beat with the great spirit. However, I knew little about the 37 that the old horses spirit would have on my daughter.My daughter Stacy had ever had a 38 experience with a runaway horse. She was just eight at the time, and a terrifying 39 accompanied the disaster. Although she broke no bones, her 40 , love for horses and the desire to learn to ride were 41 . No matter how my wife and I tried, we had no 42 in curing the damage caused that day. But when she was thirteen, a turning point came. One day as I saw Stacy look into the eye of the 43 fellow in the stall(牲口棚), I knew this was going to be the beginning of a 44 relationship.Fortunately, Stacys accident had not weakened her love for 45 in general, and this small opening was all that Twist needed to create an unusual 46 . In the following weeks, Stacy began to express daily 47 in coming to the stall with me. She actively spent time with him, feeding, brushing and combing him, all the 48 talking to him about her life.Then one day 49 I was readying one horse for a ride, I noticed the old guys eager expression and desire to be 50 , too. So I asked Stacy if she wanted to take Twist out for a ride. In 51 , Stacy looked once again into the old mans eye. That moment, their two spirits 52 and completed the bond that had been forming over a couple of months. Continuing to look deep into his eyes, Stacy didnt 53 . She only nodded yes. Moments later, I saw them riding 54 together, Stacy winning renewed(重建的) confidence and desire, and Twist winning his medal of a childs 55 . 36. A. jumperB. memberC. ownerD. winner37.

A. spiritB. heartC. agreementD. dependence Outside our hotel in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, a seemingly ancient woman waited beside the door with her hand outstretched(伸出的). Every day I put my hand in hers as our eyes _36_. She never _37_ to return my smile, my grasp, and my greeting. On the last day of our _38_, I found myself _39_ on a busy corner across the street from our hotel. Bicycles and motorbikes rushed in front of me. We had been advised to walk _40_ through the heavy traffic without looking right or left. Let them _41_ us. But tonight I was by myself and felt _42_ to face the stream of vehicles. _43_ I hesitated on the sidewalk, I felt a hand on my elbow and looked down to see the smile of my small beggar friend looking up at me. She nodded her head toward the street, _44_ that she would take me across. Together, we moved slowly into the chaos. Then we moved on _45_ the sidewalk, where she pulled my face down to hers, kissed me on both cheeks, and then walked away, still smiling and waving back to me. I had not given her a single coin. We had _46_ something vastly more importanta warming of hearts in friendship. Traveling in poorer nations, I have _47_ a variety of ways to deal with beggars. The most _48_ response of tourists faced with those extremely poor people is to _49_ them and focus their eyes elsewhere. I have seen people push away an outstretched hand in _50_. A few may hurriedly drop a few coins, and then make a quick getaway in hopes that another 20 ragged beggars wont immediately appear on the _51_. For many reasons, giving money is not the best _52_ to an outstretched hand. The greatest gift is time and respect. To look beggars in the eye and smile, thus acknowledging their existence, is a small thing. Putting your hand into anothers outstretched hand and grasping it _53_ for a moment is also a small thing. But these are important. Everyone needs _54_, to be seen as worthy of being _55_, to feel appreciated and loved. And I believe that everyone is worthy and worth knowing. 36.

I wasalways the one sittingat the end of the bench, and 36 got into a game. I went to all the 37 and showed up even when it was so 38 that your breath froze andwhen the other players had decided to stay home. I felt I had 39 enough and thought of quitting. I finally decided to 40 the news to mymom that I was leaving the team.Mymommay have looked like atiny and quiet lady but on 41 my words, she said, “Remember, A quitter never wins and a winner never quits. Your mother didnt raise 42 ,so think about yourself in a 43 way and see yourself as a winner!”So I worked harder than ever at getting in better shape, 44 my shot accuracy and changing my 45 . Once in a match, we 46 our first game badly. Whats worse, one of our best players got hurt.I was sitting at my 47 place,at the end of the bench,when the coach came over and told me I was going 48 . I was nervous, excited and terrified all at the same time.The opposing team was fast and I had to admit I was a little 49 .But my moms words 50 out in my head like a church bell.Instead of being afraid, I was “pumped” and I very quickly found that all my 51 work waspaying off.I was as fast a skater as anyone else on the ice, and I seemed to get the 52 to score.The crowd went quiet. All the time I spent on the ice when everyone had gone home had 53 me for this moment.Won!I won! The lesson I learned from my moms 54 has stayed with me over the years.Ihear them whenever I am faced with a challenge, or whenever I 55 myself. 36. A. onceB. seldomC. usuallyD. even37.

My husband ,kissed me goodbye ，stroked, the babys cheek and then rushed out of the door ，into his busy day. With the cold of the morning fading, I fed my baby and it fell fast asleep.

I had just realized the 44 _ of the ordinarythe daily life going on around us that we often took for granted, and that it needed to be 45_ “Hi ，Dad. ” I said, 46_ back tears.“Hey, Bud- How are you? ” 47_ was in his voice.: “ Fine, Fm just calling to say. , thank you. ” I got it out before my throat 48_ too much for me to speak.What for?” For getting up and going to work every morning of ray life.

And I had to serve far into the night. As I rushed among the tables, suddenly, a 36 asked if I could mind a child. I was quite 37 but I could tell the man was quite desperate. So I had to make a 38 with him that if he wanted his son to stay and wait for him he had to 39 something in the shop. This was quite 40 for the man to do; I could 41 he was quite poor by the 42 he was dressed. It looked as if he had tried to come in his 43 clothes. But they still looked a bit old and worn out 44 he had often worn them, just to make himself look best. Looking down I could see his 45 were also a bit torn and the heels were in a terrible state. I thought he was going for a job interview. In the end he bought a small box of 46 for his little son and seated him down in the corner. I could tell the boy was feeling down and only could 47 with a bit of cheering up. Seeing that the kid sat there for quite a while, I was a bit 48 as the poor little kid was sitting 49 his own. People watched him and some kids even came over to pick on him. I was 50 to see one of them even knocked his cookies off the table. He quickly went and got them back without saying a word. I was hoping his father would 51 up and come back for his sons 52 . At closing time, the only person left was the little boy. After a while, the father finally came in with a tiresome look. I 53 he didnt get any job. As they were leaving, I offered the kid a little cake, but the man rejected it. I 54 he felt as if I had just abused him. Of course I didnt mean to. But I could understand why he felt like that. I only wished them good 55 whatever happened. The man opened the door to leave father and son hand in hand.36. A. voice B. sound C. noise D. tune37.

A. luckB. progressC. supperD. nightI was nineteen years old the first time I saw my own true character.My trip to and from work each day included a ten-minute walk through the heart of downtown, where the 36 often gathered. Like most busy citizens, I learned to 37 those nameless faces. When it came to homeless beggars, my 38 life experience had led me to one 39 that they are on the street because they choose to be, probably due to alcohol or drugs.It was an extremely cold day. When I passed the groups of beggars as usual, I heard a shaky voice target me. “Spare some change?” he asked. I didnt even 40 looking up at his nameless face. I briefly 41 him walking into a liquor store and buying whiskey with the money we spared him. Like most teenagers, it took me only moments to 42 him.“I have no money on me,” I said quickly Looking back now, I feel as if God had set out that day to teach me a lesson. And God 43 . Just a few feet past him, I managed to find the only ice patch on the sidewalk. I 44 and landed heavily on my right knee. The 45 was almost killing me as I tried to get up. Then I heard a shaky voice only inches above me. “Are you all right?” he asked. I knew immediately this was the man I had just rushed past. Even in pain, I 46 took a quick moment to sniff for the smell of alcohol on his breath. There was none. He wasnt 47 . I saw the 48 in his eyes. I 49 to get to my feet. He held my arm as I walked difficultly to the nearby bus stop. “My name is Mike,” he said. “Thats quite a fall you took, and you really need to get it checked by a doctor,” he said with deep 50 .“This bus goes past the hospital,” I said.Mike paused, and a look of sudden 51 crossed his face. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a small cup. He took out all the change and held it out toward me. “I think theres just enough here for you to take the bus,” he said, I was highly embarrassed as I remember my 52 . I reached for my purse and took out my change. At least ten dollars. I offered Mike all my change. “Thank you and take care of yourself,” I said. Both of us knew that few minutes earlier I couldnt have 53 what happened to him. Mike held his cup tightly, 54 it as if it were the first gift he had ever received. A half cup of change seemed too small a gift for the man who gave a 55 to every nameless face Ive ever seen.36. A. doctorsB. beggarsC. citizensD. sellers37. A. pityB. observeC. forgiveD. ignore38.
