    I suddenly 8that life is full of ups and downs, so I need to stay positive all the time. Now when I think of my past, I wish I could have done with things 9. When my mother was fighting against her illness, I should have held her hands in mine, telling her things would get better10hiding and crying.

    "Why two bags?" her father asked. "The other is something else," Molly answered. "What's in it?" "Just something. Take it with you."

At noon he opened Molly's bag and took out all the things: a small Teddy bear, 2 tiny sea shells (贝壳), 5 small stones, and 12 coins…The 3 father smiled, finished eating, and swept the desk clean into the wastebasket, Molly's things in the bag included, and then put himself into the afternoon work.

    That evening, Molly ran up to him 4 he was reading the newspaper.
