I arrived at my mother's home for our Saturday family dinner. The smells of food flew over from the kitchen. My mother was pulling out quilt after quilt from the boxes, proudly showing me their beauties. I knew they were all made herself. She was preparing for a quilt show on TV. When we began to fold and put them back into the boxes, I noticed something at the bottom of one box. I pulled it out.

    "What's this?" I asked.

    "Oh?" Mom said, "That's Mama's quilt."

    I spread the quilt. It looked as if a group of school children had made the pieces together. "Grandmother made this?" I asked in surprise. My grandmother was a master at making quilts. This certainly didn't look like any of the quilts she had made.

    "Yes, right before she died. I brought it home with me last year and made some changes," Mom said, "I'm still working on it. See, this is what I've done so far."

    I looked at it more closely. She had made a line straight. At the center of the quilt, she had stitched a piece of cloth with these words: "My mother made many quilts. She didn't get all lines straight. But I think this is beautiful. I want to see it finished. Her last quilt."

    "Oh, this is so nice, Mom." I said. I was sure now that by completing my grandmother's quilt, my mother was honoring her own mother. I realized that I held in my hands a family treasure. It started with the loving hands of one woman, and continued with the loving hands of another.

    I first met an 8-year-old Katy on a rainy afternoon. I was a 1at a hospital. The clerk at he desk told me about Katy. She was there because she felt a lot of 2. The doctors found a problem at the base of her brain(大脑). I knew she was 3, even before she got better.

    When I entered Katy's room, she was not in her bed. 4 Katy did not feel well, she was playing with Tommy, a little boy. She had much 5sitting in the chair. But she played with Tommy because it made him 6.

    Katy was always smiling and never appeared to be in pain. She 7to just lie in bed. One day I found her painting a picture. Later, she gave it to one of the older patients. Another day she went outside to 8flowers for another sick little girl. Katy made 9smile.

    The doctors 10to solve the problem in Katy's brain. The operation was successfully! Katy was fine. She soon felt 11. Then she was able to 12the hospital a month later.

    I have worked as a nurse for a long time. I have met many patients. 13, I have never met another girl like Katy. Even after she got well, she still came to the hospital. She played different games with the young patients. She read many books the 14patients. Katy's kind heart helped her get better so 15. She is a hero to me and everyone else at the hospital.

Today there are policemen everywhere, but in 1700 London had no policemen at all. A few old men used to protect the city streets at night and they were not paid much. 

About 300 years ago, London was starting to get bigger. More and more people went to live and work there. However, there were many thieves in the streets, so most people wanted to stay in their homes as much as possible. 

In 1750, Henry Fielding started to pay a group of people to stop thieves. They were like policemen, but they were called "Bow Street Runners" because they worked just near Bow Street. Fifty years later, there were 120 Bow Street Runners, but London became very big and needed more policemen. 

In 1829, the first London Police Force was started with 3, 000 officers. Most of the men worked on foot, but a few rode horses. And until 1920 all the police in London were men. 

Today London Police are quite well paid and for the few police officers who still ride horses, the pay is even better than for the others. 

Shortly after Mary left the university, she went to travel in Canada. When she returned to New York, she told a lot of funny things to her best friend, Jack. Jack has become very {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(interest) in Canada from then on. And he decided to have {#blank#}2{#/blank#} visit there. 

The next summer vacation, Jack and Mary had a plan {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(go) to Canada together. But Mary's mother was {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(serious) ill so she went to the airport to see her friend off. 

When they got to the airport, Mary had to go to the washroom. After she came back, she couldn't find Jack because there were so many people in the airport. She looked {#blank#}5{#/blank#} him everywhere, but it was hard to find Jack among the people. 

Suddenly, Mary saw Jack. She felt very happy {#blank#}6{#/blank#} shouted, "Hi, Jack. Here, here!" At the same time, Jack waved his arms. "I'm here!" In three minutes, so many policemen came to the front of Jack and {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(catch) him, "Please come with us to the police office. "

After the policemen found out the truth, they let {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(they) free. Why? Because the word "hijack" in English has different {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(meaning). You can look it up in the dictionary {#blank#}10{#/blank#} you want to know about it.
