Mary is a six-year-old girl. She often goes to the shop and goes to the church (教堂) with her mother. {#blank#}1{#/blank#}

    One day, when they are in the church, the pastor(牧师)asks, "Who wants to go to the heaven(天堂) ? Please put up your hands. "All the people but Mary put up their hands. {#blank#}2{#/blank#}

    "I want to go home with my mother," answers Mary."

    When they get home, it is dark. {#blank#}3{#/blank#} She is very busy. She washes some clothes.  She cleans the table and the chairs. Then she wants to sweep the floor. But the broom (扫帚) isn't in the room.

    "Could you help me, Mary? Would you like to go. out and bring the broom for me?"

    When I just moved to Los Angeles（洛杉矶）, I didn't have a car.{#blank#}1{#/blank#}, but I wanted to prove（证明）them wrong.

    I asked my neighbor, Mrs. White, to take me to the bus station in the center of the city, so I could try taking the bus home.{#blank#}2{#/blank#}. When I got there, I went inside and got a bus timetable（时刻表）. I looked at the map and worked out that I needed to take three buses to get home.

    I bought the tickets and went outside to wait at the bus stop for the Number 8 bus. {#blank#}3{#/blank#}. I gave my ticket to the bus driver and took a seat. At the right stop I got off. {#blank#}4{#/blank#}. I waited and waited. A man was also waiting for the same bus. He said that it wasn't unusual for the bus to be late. Half an hour later, it finally came. To make the matter worse, the third bus broke down halfway and the driver had to fix it. {#blank#}5{#/blank#}. So when I finally got home, I was very tired. Maybe getting a car in Los Angeles wasn't such a bad idea!

"

Lindsay's recording really 6 and she was asked to host the Sunday breakfast show. Now she hosts a popular program and she loves radio more than ever. She says, "My 7 as the host is kind of to be a listener, so I will ask questions that other people would want to ask."

When she is asked how she has been 8, Lindsay says, "First of all, keep the dream in your mind and 9 give up. "She adds, "Hosting isn't about how high up in the world you are; its about having a good 10 and a good idea. Go and do it."
