One evening, I went out for a walk on the path (小路) near my house with my husband. On my finger was a very special ring with a diamond (钻石) that my grandmother gave me for my 23rd birthday. At the end of the path, when I looked down at it again and found the diamond was 1. I started back along the path hurriedly 2the tiny stone. In my heart, I knew it seemed impossible for me to find it. The path was very long and  3 with leaves. As I searched the ground, crying and upset, I met an old lady. "What's the matter, love ?" She asked kindly. I 4 about the missing diamond and showed her my ring. She said, "That's going to be hard to find. Tell me what, love, I walk along this path every day, I'll keep my eyes 5 for it." I thanked her, 6 nothing, but still told her that we sometimes walked our dog along the path if she might find something.

    A few days later, my husband and I met the old lady on the path. "Guess what?" She said, "I found your diamond!" To our7, she'd found the tiny stone and was willing to hand it back to me. "It was lucky that I found it." When we 8 her with some money for her help, she 9 politely. I was deeply moved. She could have easily kept the diamond, or sold it, for it's worth several thousand dollars, but she didn't.

    Every time I look at my ring and 10myself that there're kind and beautiful hearts in the world. I'll spend the rest of my life trying to do something like that.

    Yesterday was Father's Day. Many things happening between my father and me crowded my mind. But one thing made a deep impression on me.

    It was a Sunday morning, and I was in a 1 mood (情绪). Two of my friends had gone to the movies the night before and hadn't invited me.I was in my room2ways to make them sorry when my father came in. “ Want to go for a ride today,Berk? It's a beautiful day.”

    “No! Leave me alone!”Those were the 3words I said to him that morning.

    My friends called and 4 me to go to the mall with them a few hours later. I forgot to be5with them and then went with them.When I came home，I found a6 on the table.My mother put it where I would be sure to see it. “ Dad has had an 7 Please meet us at Highland Park Hospital.”

    When I reached the hospital ,my mother came out and told me a car hit my father and his injuries were extensive(大曲积的). “Your father told the driver to leave8 alone and just call 911, thank God! If he had moved Daddy, ….”

    My mother may have said more，but I didn't hear. I didn't hear anything 9 those terrible words： Leave me alone. My dad said them in order to10 himself. He didn't want to be hurt more. How much had I hurt him 11 I shouted out those words at him earlier in the day?

    It was several days later that he was12 able to have a talk.I held his hand gently, afraid of hurting him.

    “ Daddy... I am so sorry...''

    “It's okay, sweetheart. I'll be okay.”

     “No,” I said, “I mean about13 I said to you that day.You know, that morning?"

    He looked at me and said, “Sweetheart, I remember14 about that day, not before, during or after the accident. I remember telling you goodnight the night before，though." He managed a weak smile.

    My English teacher once told me that words have great power. They can hurt or they can heal(治愈）.And we all have the power to 15 our words.I am going to do that very carefully from now on.

    Rock climbing(攀岩)did not become a sport until in the late 19^th century. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} 

While rock climbing may still be necessary for mountain climbing, most people just climb low mountains for fun.

    If you have ever done rock climbing, you will know that it is not a very easy sport. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} What most people don't know is that rock climbing is one of the sports that depend on your body and mind(意志).

    To climb successfully, one must use wonderful skills. {#blank#}3{#/blank#} Another important rule is that your arms only hold you close to the rock face while your legs are pushing you up. The closer you are to the rock face, the easier it is to climb.

People who like games such as chess playing or problem—solving may love rock climbing, because they are nearly the same in the way of thinking. {#blank#}5{#/blank#} Anyone who enjoys a difficult game and loves the outdoors should think of taking rock climbing as a new hobby.
