I work as a volunteer for an organization that helps the poor in Haiti. Recently I took my son Barrett there for a week, hoping to  1  him. Before setting out, I told Barrett this trip would be tiring and   2  . For the first two days, he said almost nothing. I worried the trip was too much for a 17-year-old boy. Then on day three, as we were climbing  3    high rocky mountains, he turned to me and grinned (咧嘴笑), "Pretty hard."

    After that there was no turning back. A five-year-old girl, wearing a dress several sizes   4  large and broken shoes, followed Barrett around, mesmerized (着迷). He couldn't stop   5   . Later he said regretfully . "I   6   I could speak French." I was  7－this from a boy who hated and    8   French classes throughout school.

       Usually silent, he made friends with Gaby, our host, and kept asking questions about the country and its people. He came alive

      However, the moment that really took 9    breath away happened during my interview with a woman villager for an article at her house deep in the mountains. 135 centimeters tall, she was small in figure but strong in 10  . Through determination(决心), she had learned to read and write and 11  to become part of the leadership of the village .    her story, Barrett was as touched as I by this tiny woman's achievements. His eyes were wet and 12  was a mixture of love and respect on his face. He had finally understood the importance of my work.  13       When leaving for home, Barrett  13offered to stay behind as a volunteer. My insides suddenly felt struck. This   14  achieved all I'd expected. Soon he will celebrate his 18th birthday. He'll be a man.

Do you like sunny days or rainy days? Some people like fine days, because they can go out to do what they like. They may {#blank#}1{#/blank#} the bright sunshine, or wear colourful swimming clothes to swim in the {#blank#}2{#/blank#}. They may also like to take their{#blank#}3{#/blank#} to take beautiful photos. It is pleasant weather. They don't like rain. They always {#blank#}4{#/blank#}sad when it rains. I like sunshine very much, but I enjoy rain as well.

    On {#blank#}5{#/blank#} days, it is wet. I like to listen to music, or listen to people joke on the radio. It is{#blank#}6{#/blank#} a great thing to take an umbrella to stand out and listen to the sound of the rain. You can feel the cool weather and it is comfortable, {#blank#}7{#/blank#} in summer or autumn.

Sunshine is bright and rain can make people quiet. Which do you like {#blank#}8{#/blank#}? I hope you can have a good time no matter（无论）it's sunny or rainy.
