Everybody has his own hero in mind and is always trying to copy his behaviors in life. As for me, my 1 is just that man. My grandfather had a small farm. He also worked in a 2.

    One autumn, most of the farmers in the village were 3 so he promised to help his neighbor harvest（收割）the corn as he often did.4 after harvesting his own corn, Grandpa's little corn machine broke. What was 5 the factory where Grandpa worked made the workers have extra work. He had to 6the farm early and didn't get back until very late. It now seemed 7 to help out his neighbor because he really had no free time.

    One night, Grandpa 8 that he wouldn't let his neighbor's harvest rot（腐烂）in the field. Without a9 he'd harvest it by hand.

    “I don't think you'd have time to do it,” said my grandma. “10 it would be too dark to do anything at night.”

    “I know of one night that I could do it!” he 11 “There's still one more full moon in October. If the12 is clear, I think I can do it.”

    A few days later, after a long shift（轮班）at the factory, my grandpa went to the 13The weather was cold but clear. He cut all the corn through the night to 14 his word.

    Sometimes, when I want to put off responsibilities, I'd see my grandfather 15 corn in the light of the harvest moon. Behind him, row after row of corn stocks（玉米秸秆）stand at attention in respect for a man who keeps his word.

    Last July, my 12-year-old car died on California's Santa Freeway. It was an hour before sunset, and I was 25 miles from home. I couldn't reach anyone to pick me up, so I1to take a bus. Not knowing the routes(线路), I thought I should just go east.

    A bus stopped. I got 2and asked the driver how far she was going. "Ten more miles, "she said. There was3bus I could take from there. This clearly was going to be a long night. I got off at the end of the route and she told me which bus to look4.After waiting for 30 minutes, I began to think about a very expensive taxi5home. Then a bus came up. There was no lighted number above its windshield(挡风玻璃).It was out of service, but the door opened. It was the same driver." I just can't leave you here, "she said." This isn't the nicest place. I will take you home." "You will drive me home on the bus? "I asked in 6. "No, I will take you in my car," she said. "It's a long way, "I insisted." Come on, "she said." I have nothing 7to do." She began telling me a story 8we drove from the station in the car. A few days9, her brother had run out of gasoline(汽油).A kind man picked him up, took him to a service station and then back to his car." I'm just passing the kindness along," she said. When I offered her money as a thank-you, she refused." Just do 10nice for somebody. Pass it along, "she said.

    The teacher told the students that the test would be to watch each pair of bird legs and write down the name and the living habits of each bird.

    The student looked at each pair of bird legs. 3 of them looked the same to him. He began to get upset. He stayed up all night studying, but now he had to name birds by their legs. The more he 4 about it, the sadder he got.

    He 5 not think of any answers after a long time. He went to the teacher's desk and said, "What a strange test! 6 could anyone tell differences among birds by their legs? I'm afraid I have to take the exam later. "7 these words, the student put his test paper on the desk and walked to the door.

    The teacher was 8.The class was so big that he didn't know every student's 9, so when the student reached the door, the teacher 10 out, "One moment, boy, what's your name?"

    The student pulled up his trouser legs and said, "My dear teacher, can you guess my name by my legs?"
