We'llhandle it!" To which he replied, "Are you going to help me now?"No one replied.

    He went on alone becausehe needed to know for himself "is my boy alive or is he dead?" He dugfor eight hours … 12 hours ... 24 hours … 36 hours … then, in the 38th hour, hepulled back a large stone and heard his son's voice. He screamed his son'sname, "Armand!" He heard back, "Dad? It's me, Dad! I told theother kids not to worry. I told them that if you were alive, you would save meand when you saved me, they'd be saved. You promised, no matter what happens,you'll always be there for me. You did it, Dad!" "What's going on inthere? How is it?" the father asked, "There are 14 of us left out of33, Dad. We're scared, hungry, thirsty and thankful you're here. When thebuilding fell down, it made a triangle, and it saved us."

As soon as her mom asked what was wrong, Maggie replied, "Amelia is3 of the water. She doesn't know how to swim. I thought that 4 would be playing with me in the pool all summer. I5 Amelia. Nothing is as much fun without her."

"Why don't you invite her to6 ? Maybe we can help her feel 7 in the water. Remember how we taught your little brother to swim? Now, he swims like a dolphin." Maggie looked a little more8 . "You're right. I think I'll call Amelia right now." Later that afternoon, Amelia came with her dad. "Are you sure you don't want me to stay?" he asked. Amelia9 . "I think I'm ready to do this."

Some of my earliest memories include sitting with my dad in his study every night when he came home from the office. I watched1 he put his personal items away: his watch, wallet, comb and car keys. They would always take up the same space on the table every time.

Dad's comb was jade green. I heard he bought it when he married Mum. Every night, he would smile, hand me the comb and say, "Be a good girl and help Daddy 2 it, OK?"

I was more than happy to do it. At age five, this kind of task brought me such joy. I would turn on the tap 3 , and then brush the comb with a used toothbrush as hard as I could.4 that I'd done a good job, I would proudly return the comb to Dad. He would smile at me, and place the comb on top of his wallet.

About two years later, Dad left his sales job and started his own wholesale business. I started primary school. That was when things started to 5 . Dad's business wasn't doing so well, and our stable (稳定的) life started getting shaky. He didn't come home as much as he used to. And when he did come home, it was always late and I'd already be in bed. I started to get 6 . Why didn't he listen to Mum and just stick to his old job? Why does he 7 placing the whole family in trouble? Over the years, I 8 waiting for him to come home, and going downstairs to welcome him.

Now 28, I've graduated from college and got a job. Dad's business has also started to get back on track. Yet the uncomfortable 9 between Dad and me went on.

Two days before my birthday last year, Dad came home early. On that evening, I helped him carry his bags into his study 10 . When I turned to leave, he asked me to clean his comb. I looked at him for a while, then took the comb and headed to the tap.

It was a 11 comb. This one was brown. I hadn't noticed that he'd changed it. After cleaning it, I passed it back to Dad. He looked at it and smiled. But this time, I noticed something 12 . My dad had aged. He had wrinkles next to his eyes when he smiled, yet his smile was still as heartwarming as before.

 阅读下面材料, 在空白处填上适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。将答案填写在相应位置。

 An aquanaut(潜水员) called Fabicn Cousteau drew many people's eyes. He helps to build the world's {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(large) underwater research(研究) station. He wants the building {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(be) an underwater form of the International Space Station (ISS). And it can be used by astronauts from different countries. It's not {#blank#}3{#/blank#} easy thing to do, but the idea receives much support(支持).

 The station, named Proteus, will be at the bottom(底部) of the sea. It will be a place for{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(scientist) to study the ocean.

 Inside the station, there will be bedrooms, laboratories, medical facilities(设施) and the{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(one) underwater greenhouse for growing food. Cousteau says that it will {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(take) three years to build.

{#blank#}7{#/blank#} he is short of money to develop the project, he is trying to raise money.

 Cousteau says that underwater research is even {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(important) than doing research in space, So far, people have known only about one fifth of the ocean floor {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(clear). There are still many possible things waiting {#blank#}10{#/blank#} people to find out. So Cousteau hopes the base will lead to many exciting discoveries.
