—Cheer up! I am sure you can

    Tears went out of my eyes when I talked to my mum on the phone.

     It was 7:30 in the evening, she still {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (work) in the fields. These are my parents. They are always working hard. My father works from seven in the morning to nine in the evening. And my mum is much busier than him because all the housework {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (leave) to her. Besides, she also {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (look) after the vineyard(葡萄园).

      Every day she {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (get) up early at 4:00 in the morning, and keeps on working till evening. One day I {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (call) her at eight in the evening. She said, “I've just got home from the vineyard and {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (not have) supper yet. I {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (wash) the clothes now.”

Although they are busy and tired, they forget it as soon as I appear. For them, the happiest time is to be with me. Once my mum saw me {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (walk) towards home, she cried happily. Whenever I go back home, she always runs into the kitchen {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (cook) something delicious for me.

Dear mum and dad, I am your hope. I'll take more exercise to keep healthy. I {#blank#}10{#/blank#} ( study) harder to be excellent at school.

Love, sometimes, doesn't need many words. Love your parents as they love you. Give them a call and tell them you miss them.

Alison, a very unusual painter, paints pictures for a living. However, she doesn't use her hands when she paints. She uses her mouth!

When she was {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (十九), Alison had a car accident. She was h{#blank#}2{#/blank#} so seriously that her family thought she would lose her life. But t{#blank#}3{#/blank#} to the doctor, she was saved. However, her p{#blank#}4{#/blank#} problem caused her to spend many years of her life in hospital. 

Alison {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (需要) plenty of time to relax, but she never gave up. She realised that even though she was disabled (有残疾的), she could express h{#blank#}6{#/blank#} as freely as normal people. This was what got her to start drawing paintings. She believes that she can{#blank#}7{#/blank#} (成功) as others. With great{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(精力), her painting skills have reached a high level and her paintings do not look like they were drawn by someone who used her mouth. Meanwhile, Alison keeps eating h{#blank#}9{#/blank#} food and doing some exercise to stay fit. Alison has become a symbol of {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (勇 气). Many disabled people have been cheered up by her active way of living and become more confident.
