After the birth of my second child, Igot a job at a restaurant. Having worked with an experienced waitress for a few months, I was 1  to wait tables on my own. All went 2 that first week. When Saturday night came, I was luckily given the table not far from the kitchen. 3, I still felt it a little hard to carry the heavy trays(托盘).

    Before I knew it, the restaurant was full of people. I moved slowly, minding every step. I remember how  4 I was when I saw the tray stand（支架） near the tables; it looked different from the one I was 5 on. It had nice handles, which made it  6 to move around. I was pleased with everything and began to believe I was natural at this job.

    Then, an old man came to me and said,“Excuse me, dear, my wife and I love watching you work. It seems your traystand has been very 7to you, but we are getting ready to leave now, and my wife needs her 8back. ”

At first his idea did not get across.“What was he talking about!” Then, I got it. I had set my trays on his wife'sorthopedic walker(助步器). Istood frozen as ice, but my face was 9 . I wanted to get into a hole and hide.

    Since then, I have learned from many mistakes such as the one I just 10 , I have learned to be more careful and not to be sure of myself.

    I was born with the ability to run very fast. As a result, I was the best runner in my school. I 1 get the first place in every race. But that was before a terrible traffic accident, which changed my life completely.

    After I woke up in a hospital, I found that I lost all feeling in my legs. I 2 sitting in my wheelchair. Sometimes when I thought about it, I got really sad inside. When I was 3 in my room, I even cry. However, thanks to my father, I am not going to cry about it any longer, and I'm not sick or helpless.

    Not long ago, Dad talked with me in person. And this conversation helped me to change. He told me to be brave. "You can be good at 4 else besides running. Try to find it out, Jane!" said my father, with a 5 expression on his face. 6 I started playing chess. Before I never thought of playing something like chess, but now I'm getting pretty good at it. I 7 Dad last night. Dad said I could enter their chess competitions.

    Before my accident I used to be good at a lot of things and I never really thought about it. But with chess I really have to think about it a lot and practice and try. 8, now I have to practice lots of things, and when I'm able to do a thing without 9, I have the feeling of winning though it isn't a/an 10.

My Plan for the Weekend

My little sister is in Grade Seven this year. Her favorite subject is math and she is very good at it.

One day, a friend of my father's from America showed us some {#blank#}1{#/blank#} about America and invited us to his home. My sister wanted to go there very much, but my father said she must speak English very well. From then on, she {#blank#}2{#/blank#} to work hard. She kept reading English for about half an hour every morning. In class, she listened very {#blank#}3{#/blank#} and answered the teacher's questions as soon as possible. There was an American teacher in her school. After school, she talked to him in English as {#blank#}4{#/blank#} as he was free. Now she always says, "My dream is to be a diplomat (外交官)." I am sure her dream will come {#blank#}5{#/blank#} one day.
