On Christmas Eve a few days ago, an English couple, the Hardens, got a very special call. It was only a 20-second call but it was very 1. The Hardens' 15-year-old daughter has gone 2 six months before. On Christmas Eve she rang them. ＂I'm phoning to wish you a happy Christmas,＂ she said, ＂I love you.＂ Ronals and Edwine Harden were so 3 that they started a special telephone service （服务）called ＂Alive and Well＂. The service helps 4 to get in touch with children who have run away from home.

    Young people can phone ＂Alive and Well＂ and leave a message for their parents. The telephones are answered by answering machines. So 5 can speak to the child or make him return home. Parents of runaway children who are 6 eighteen can ask the police to bring their children home. So children do not want to tell their parents where they are. Through ＂Alive and Well＂ they can telephone their parents and they do not 7 about this or give out their addresses.

    The Hardens and their helpers 8 the telephone messages and connect（联系）the addresses given. About 30,000 British teenagers have left home and many of them are probably in 9. For only two pence（便士）they can go into a telephone coin box and call their parents. They can dial 5675339 and 10 a parent worrying: Is he dead or alive?

The first note I ever wrote for my mother said"Hi, Mom! Have a nice day! Love, Marie!"I was twelve when I wrote it, and I folded the 1 into her change purse(零钱包).

My mother worked as a cleaner in a clothing factory. I knew that when she 2 meals in the dining hall, she would have to look for change in her purse. I didn't know that she would 3 that note, and always carry it with her.

From the day that I 4 folded the small piece of paper into my mother's change purse, she and I left each other 5 notes. They would be put in the fridge, under a lamp, or beside the TV set. I 6 found one hidden(藏) in my shoe. From the outside, our notes may have been general records(记录) of our days, ideas and 7 . But to my mother and 8 , they were a lifeline —a communication with each other that no one else 9 .

On October 20th,2020, my mother 10 after a long illness. I stood near her bed, holding her hand. I didn't cry the day my mom died, 11 I didn't cry a week later when I went to collect(收集) her things. I was so thankful that she no longer had aches and 12 .

Recently, I found a note that my mom had 13 me. It had been hidden in the 14 of my favorite childhood book for years. It reads"Dear Marie, I love you always. Miss you a lot. Don't forget me. Be 15 ! Love, Mom."That day, I cried.

Derek was born in Brazil in 1992. His father 1 him Derek after a famous surfing (冲浪) star because he wanted Derek to become a surfer. However, there was a problem.

When Derek was seventeen, he learnt about his 2 dream. From that moment, Derek tried his best to become 3 surfer. He went to the beach every day and started taking surfing lessons with a coach. Derek kept 4 and finally, he learned to surf! 5 unbelievable it was! Derek says that he can't see, but he can hear the 6 when the waves are coming. He says none of the waves make the same noise, so he knows which way to surf in.

In 2012, he flew to Hawaii to surf one of 7 waves in the world. Local surfers were very surprised to see the confident young man surf the big wave 8 no problem at all.

There will be a film about 9 on show next year. Derek's story in the film teaches us that nothing is impossible 10 we believe in ourselves!
