Only mother's love is true love. It gives everybody everything in all his/her life.

    {#blank#}1{#/blank#} you are still a baby, mother takes good care of you as much as {#blank#}2{#/blank#}. When you are ill(生病), she stops her work to look after you day and night and forgets about {#blank#}3{#/blank#}When you are{#blank#}4{#/blank#} up day by day, she feels very happy. When you are old{#blank#}5{#/blank#}to go to school, mother still looks after you all the time. On old winter days, she always tells you to {#blank#}6{#/blank#}on more clothes. She always stands in the wind waiting for you back from school. When you leave home for school{#blank#}7{#/blank#} breakfast, she feels worried about you at home. She usually knows about your study and spends much money on your school things .When you do{#blank#}8{#/blank#} at school, you will{#blank#}9{#/blank#}the smile on her face.

    Mother is always {#blank#}10{#/blank#} to give everything she has to her children, not to receive. What true love that is in the world! We will remember mother's love forever.

    A boy lost his arms in an accident. Since then, he {#blank#}1{#/blank#} on his younger brother. In order to look after him, his younger brother became his shadow (影子), never leaving him {#blank#}2{#/blank#} for many years. Except for writing with his toes, he never thought of doing anything{#blank#}3{#/blank#}

    Then one day, his younger brother had to work far from him, living his own life, as many normal people do. So he was heart-broken and didn't know what to do.

    A similar misfortune (不幸) happened to a girl. One night her mother {#blank#}4{#/blank#}after arguing with her father. So her father went out looking for her mother. She tried to {#blank#}5{#/blank#}meals for her parents, but only to catch a big fire, which took her hands away. {#blank#}6{#/blank#} her elder sister said she could help her, she refused.

    One day, the boy and the girl {#blank#}7{#/blank#} to a television interview program. They were asked to write something on a piece of paper with their toes. The boy wrote: My younger brother's arms are my arms; while the girl wrote: Broken wings, flying heart.

    They had both {#blank#}8{#/blank#} a terrible disaster, but their different attitudes showed the nature of their lives. If you only choose{#blank#}9{#/blank#} about it, it will always follow you wherever you go. But if you decide to face it {#blank#}10{#/blank#}, the hardship will turn out to be a fortune on which new hopes will arise.

    Travelling by train is very comfortable. Most of the trains are air-conditioned. Jim {#blank#}1{#/blank#} chooses a non-smoking section, taking a seat by the window so he can enjoy the outside views. If it is a night train, the {#blank#}2{#/blank#} can be more exciting. He just sleeps the whole night and the next day he will be in a new city. The train {#blank#}3{#/blank#} food around the clock.

    Traveling by train has another advantage: you may meet some old friends or you can listen to people talking about something of your interest. Last week when Jim was on a train, he met a primary school classmate. They didn't expect that they could meet {#blank#}4{#/blank#} that way. They talked a lot.

When I moved to America in the 7th grade, I did not speak any English. I had no choice but to keep working hard. Although I made1 when I reached the 9th grade, people still found it difficult to understand me because of my accent (口音).

One day, at a party, I was invited to play a guessing game. When it was my turn, I tried to 2 the object that I had in mind. Suddenly someone said with a laugh, "What did she say?" I felt 3 . Out of kindness, a girl gently advised me to repeat it, but I got stuck on the word "purple"—I couldn't 4 it. This time, everyone laughed while I was trying hard to get the word out of me. This5 had its own influence on me. When opportunities were opened up for the summer program I had been looking forward to, I6 to attend (参加) the interview. Luckily, I got tons of encouragement from people around me. So I decided to 7 .

At the interview, the other students in my group spoke very 8 but I didn't speak that much. I knew that I could hardly be understood because of my accent. Besides when I was nervous, it would be even more 9 for me to pronounce words clearly. After the interview, I stayed, said "10 " and explained to the teachers. I didn't want them to think I wasn't interested or I was being unfriendly. But they appreciated (欣赏) that I expressed11 . "It's OK. You don't have to say sorry. Your accent does not make you less than others," said one of the teachers.

Surprisingly, I was accepted into the 12 . Imagine how I felt!

Up to now, I still feel 13 that I took that step. It is a sign that I have changed. I did not let my accent 14 me. I'm sure I will continue to feel nervous about speaking English with strangers. 15 that's OK. It will not stop me from trying to be better.
