A：What were you doing at that time?

B：I felt so afraid that I had trouble {#blank#}3{#/blank#} clearly.

A：Did anyone see what happened?

B：No. No one knows the {#blank#}4{#/blank#}.

    I knew a girl called Alice one year ago. She's a(n) {#blank#}1{#/blank#} girl When she was small, she wasn't in good {#blank#}2{#/blank#} condition (状况). She had a strange disease (怪病). Her parents took her to many hospitals. The {#blank#}3{#/blank#} didn't know what happened to her.

    Now Alice {#blank#}4{#/blank#} She's fifteen years old She isn't {#blank#}5{#/blank#} to see or hear clearly. But she is a happy girl. She says to herself, "In the future, I will {#blank#}6{#/blank#} see or hear nothing, but I will enjoy my life." With her parents' help, she took up many {#blank#}7{#/blank#}one of them is traveling. Alice likes traveling and she always shares the interesting things she sees along the way with her friends.

    Alice is a lucky girl she got money from a foundation (基金会) fighting the disease. Also, her doctors are still {#blank#}8{#/blank#} a cure (疗法) for her disease. I hope one day she will {#blank#}9{#/blank#} healthy like other healthy children. I believe everything is {#blank#}10{#/blank#}.

    There once was a man who played the piano in a bar. He was a good pianist People went there just to hear him play.But one night,a customer{#blank#}1{#/blank#}told him he didn't want to hear him just play any more.He was{#blank#}2{#/blank#}to sing a song by the customer.

    “I don't sing,”the man said.The customer said to the boss;“I'm{#blank#}3{#/blank#}of just listening to the piano .I want that guy to sing!”

    “Hey,buddy!”the boss {#blank#}4{#/blank#}across the room.“If you want to get paid,sing a song!The customer is asking you to sing!” And the other customers were {#blank#}5{#/blank#}to see what would happen.

    So he did.He sang a song.A{#blank#}6{#/blank#}who never sang in public did so for the very first time. What's more,Nat King Cloe sang the song,Mona Lisa,in a very special way.That was the {#blank#}7{#/blank#}time the song ever sounded that.

    He was so talented!He could have lived the rest of his life as a no-name piano player in a no-name bar.But because that man made {#blank#}8{#/blank#}sing,he went on to become one of the best-known {#blank#}9{#/blank#}in America.

You,too,have talent and abilities.You may not feel as if your talent is great,but it may be {#blank#}10{#/blank#}than you think!
