My father {#blank#}1{#/blank#}( work) in an office. There {#blank#}2{#/blank#} two large windows in it. One day, a woman in a {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(pass) car looks up and sees my father. My father waves his hands, {#blank#}4{#/blank#} the woman waves back. This gives my father an idea.

  Later, he changes his way of {#blank#}5{#/blank#} ( greet) people. He writes signs, like “Hello” {#blank#}6{#/blank#} “Be happy”. Every afternoon when people go home from work, my father will greet them with the signs. Then they will give my father big smiles.

The day when I come into the world, my father puts a sign {#blank#}7{#/blank#} the window, “I'm a new father!” To his {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (surprise), some of people hold a sign saying, “Congratulations!”

  My father learns the {#blank#}9{#/blank#} ( true) in the saying, “You smile, and the whole world smiles with you.” And he becomes {#blank#}10{#/blank#} first one who greets strangers with signs every day.

    Don and his son, Allen, love basketball very much. On Allen's {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (第十) birthday, Don decided to drive him to Chicago, for the first game of the World Championships. The car ride took them two hours. They had no tickets but hoped to buy two from other people.

    After arriving, they walked in the streets for two hours, carrying a sign which said, “We need two tickets.” But the {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(最便宜的) ticket was $175 and they could not {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(买得起) it. They were about to leave when a {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(陌生人) stopped them. He {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(拉; 拖) out two tickets and handed them to Don. “How much do you want?” “Free ! No money is needed!” said the man.

    When asked, the man explained. “I am working for Joe, who hasn't {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(错过) a World Championships for 16 years. {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(但是), he is ill and he can't make it this time. So he told me to give the two tickets away. The only rule he set is to give the tickets to people who really needed them. A lot of people looked as if they might just take the tickets and sell them quickly. Then I saw you. You remind me of my dad and myself when I was a child. I really wanted to go to see a World Championships game at that time. But I never got the {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(机会).” With the tickets, we entered the court {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(高兴地).

    It's an important and unforgettable game that Don and his son watched! Here is what Don said, “It's{#blank#}10{#/blank#} (值得的) remembering it. My boy and I must have turned to each other 30 times duringthe game. I can't forget that night.”

    Mr Brown's horse was lost at night. All of his friends were very {#blank#}1{#/blank#} to hear that and came to see him together. After {#blank#}2{#/blank#}（听） his story, one of them said, “Why didn't you close the door of the stable(马厩) last night?” “You aren't a deaf man”, the second said. “Didn't you {#blank#}3{#/blank#}anything at that moment? The thief(小偷) must {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(赶走) the horse away out of the gate, and couldn't carry it on {#blank#}5{#/blank#} back.” “I agree with you,” said the third man. “How {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(careful) you are! Every evening before I {#blank#}7{#/blank#} to bed, I lock my stable first and put the key in my box. Why didn't you do so?”The more they said, the {#blank#}8{#/blank#}excited they became. At last Mr Brown couldn't stand any more and said {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(angry), “None of you would help me look for my horse or catch the thief. Do you think that it's all my fault(错误）?{#blank#}10{#/blank#} don't you blame(责备) the thief?”
