    “Daily Star, sir” called Jason, carrying some newspapers under his arm. The little boy had been running up and down the street, but there were still twenty1 left. His voice was almost gone and his heart was 2. The shops would soon close, and all the people would go home. He would have to go home too, carrying the papers3money. He had hoped to sell more papers tonight to make more money to buy a 4for his mother and some seeds for his bird. That was why he had bought the papers with all his money. He 5as he thought of his failure to sell all his papers.

    “You don't know the 6 of selling papers. You must shout, “Hot news! Bomb bursting!” another newsboy Chad told Jason. “7 it's not in the paper at all,” replied Jason. “Just run away quickly 8 they have time to see, and you'll 9 out and get your money,”Chad said.

    It was a new 10 to Jason. He thought of his bird with no11 and the cake he wanted to buy for his mother, but was12 that he would not tell a lie. Though he was13a poor newsboy, he had been 14 some good things.

    The next afternoon Jason went to the office for his papers15 .Several boys were crowding around Chad, who declared with a 16 smile that he sold six dozen the day before. He added that Jason 17 money because he would not tell a lie. The boy 18 at Jason. “You wouldn't tell a lie yesterday, my boy?” A gentleman at the office came up and patted Jason's shoulder 19 .”You're just the boy I am looking for.” A week later Jason started his new20. He lost sale of twenty papers because he would not tell a lie, but got a well-paid job because he told the truth.

    First one person stood up and then another and another. Someone in the crowd began to applaud and soon everyone else 1 in as Glenn Cunninghan made his final lap around the track(跑道). He was about to break a world record in the mile. As he made his victory, you might wonder how he could walk, let alone 2. It was hard to ignore Glenn's scarred legs.

    When Glenn was six years old, his 3 were so badly burned in a schoolhouse fire that his doctor never thought he would 4 again. But Glenn thought otherwise. After spending weeks in 5, he got up and started using crutches(拐杖) to get around. When his legs got 6, he tried walking without the crutches. It was very 7. Glenn said later, “It hurt like hell to walk, 8 it didn't hurt at all when I ran. So for five or six years, about all I did was run.”

    With all the 9 he had had in running, it was natural for Glenn to join his school's track team. By the time he got to high school, he became a track star and set 10 times in the mile run.

    After he 11 from high school, he went to the University of Kansas. Glenn Cunninghan was 12 as “The Kansas Flyer”, and he won the National College Amateur Track Championships in 1931 and 1932.

    Glenn went on to run on the U.S. Olympic Team in 1932, received the Sullivan Award 13 outstanding amateur athletes in 1933, and won a silver medal in the 1936 Olympic Games. The boy who was 14 never to walk again won two National College Amateur Athlete titles in track, was named the 15 track performer in the 100-year history of Madison Square Garden, and was 16 to the National Track and Field Hall of Fame.

    It was never easy for Glenn. It took him nearly an hour to 17 for a race and the smoke-filled indoor stadium made it hard for him to 18. But he never let that stop him or 19 him down. He just ran as hard as he could with his wounded lungs and scarred legs, and he won.

    If determination and spirit can 20 a runner to greatness, it might be said that Glenn Cunninghan was the greatest runner of all time.

    It's a sad reality that many of us find ourselves just too busy to contribute to our communities. For a long time, I, too, believed it cost too much in time, money and 1 to make a real difference. But all that changed when I 2 my good-deed-a-day project.

    My daughter, Emily, was my primary 3. I wanted to show her we could do little things to help others, and be 4.

    The first week, I wasn't sure if I could 5 it. I surfed the Internet for ideas. One day, I 6 a blind man in the subway station. He 7 as he thanked me. Another day, I brought flowers from my garden to a 8 nursing home… I could only hope I was arousing 9 in others.

    After just a few days, 10 I found it easier than I'd expected. I knew I was making a/an 11.

On a walk home from school, she 14 to a neighbour's pot of geraniums (天竺葵), which had toppled (摇晃) in the wind, and set it right. “That was my good deed for the day!” she yelled. Another day, she helped me collect 15 from our neighbours for the food bank. We dropped off the food and, 16 we drove away, Emily announced 17 that she wanted to work there one day.

    By the last week, I knew I'd changed. At first, I hadn't been entirely 18 that I could do a good deed every day. Now it was practically second 19. I felt a greater responsibility to take action when I saw a need, 20 looking the other way. I felt as though I'd awakened, somehow.

    Do birds have a favorite color? It's probably not a question you've ever 1 but a project designed to answer that question led to two British schoolboys 2 the Young Scientist Award of the year after presenting their 3 to a group of judges.

    The boys' 4 to find out whether birds have a(n) 5 for a particular color came purely from scientific curiosity. Both of them are very 6 about nature and the power of colors in things, 7 they worked as a perfect combination and 8 a citizen science project that didn't require fancy equipment.

    The boys 9 bird feeders in their back gardens. Each garden had five feeders, colored blue, green, red, yellow and transparent. They made sure to change the position of the feeders regularly, 10 it affected the results and then placed a 11 for an hour each morning, afternoon and evening across all four seasons to 12 birds visiting each feeder. They collected 13 covering a total period of 400 hours.

    When the experiment finished, they had recorded the birds' 14 to the gardens added up to 3,205, with over a third being to the 15 feeders. It was a conclusive win for blue. The pair believe that blue is 16 to birds because of its familiarity, while red and yellow are often 17 of poison in nature.

    Later, the boys considered 18 for their findings, such as using the less popular colors of red and yellow to 19 bird strikes on planes. There seems to be quite a strong connection between the 20 of planes and the number of bird strikes.
