Passage 1
People say one man's trash(垃圾) is another man's treasure. That
21
comes to me as I
22
the house purchased in 1962 by my parents. My mother passed away in 1996. My father left the house
23
my sister and me when he died a few months ago.
After Dad was
24
, we looked around the
25
house where we grew up and that Dad loved so much. At first we felt so
26
all the stuff(东西) left. Like so many of their generation, my parents
27
everything. And like many in my generation, we faced anxious
28
about what to abandon and what to keep.
As we started throwing out old phone books and every medical bill from every
29
my parents ever saw, I also
30
many hidden treasures. Mom's pocketbook was in their bedroom closet, which had everything in it,
31
her hairbrush with hair, as if she were still here. And Dad, who was a World War II veteran(退伍兵) and a world traveler, 32
everything -- from little spoons from all over the world to every letter he wrote to his parents while in the
33
. The letters he wrote during the war 34
his thoughts as a young man. Later, in the basement, I
35
our old kitchen table, which brought back
36
of my parents and sister and me having breakfast together.
I'm realizing all these things
37
my parents' life journey. Each time I go to
38
, I find something that reminded me of my childhood or teaches me something about my parents I
39
knew.
40
, from the shabby furniture to all the hidden treasures, means more to me than all the money in the world.

Passage 2
My wife and I moved into our home two years ago. We had a yard with a lot of
21 .Very often when we have flowers, Denise or I would plant some between the rocks, just to add some
22
to the area.
Last summer, I found a tiny little
23
in the yard that I could not immediately identify. I knew I didn’t plant it and Denise said she didn’t either. We decided to let it
24
growing until we could find out what it was.
Weeks passed and as I made my way back to the
25
plant, it appeared to be a sunflower. I decided to
26
the weeds around it. As I pulled rocks from the area to get to the weeds, I noticed something
27
. The sunflower had not
28
where I saw it begin. It actually had begun under a big
29
and grown under and around it to reach the
30
.
That’s when I
31
that if a tiny little sunflower didn’t let a big rock stand in its
32
of developing, we too have the ability of doing the same thing. If we
33
ourselves like that little sunflower, we can reach where we
34
to go and get what we need for growth.
We need to believe in ourselves knowing we have the
35
to achieve our goals. Like the
36
, it knew it had the ability to get over the rocks because it had
37
in itself that it would succeed. Stand tall like the sunflower and be
38
who and what we are, then the environment will begin to
39
us. We will find a way to go under or
40
any “rocks”in order to reach our goals.

Passage
When I was about to go back home, it was dark. In order to get home as soon as possible, I hired a taxi. The car was 16
along the road, now well-lit, now sank in darkness. I broke the
17on purpose, 18 that the driver might be too tired to drive. “When do you go back home in the evening?” “9 o’clock. I’ll go after this trip.”“Then when do you come out in the morning?” I
19
another question.“9 o’clock, too. And I go home for lunch and dinner, just as if I worked at an office.” His easiness surprised me, because every time I ride in a taxi, what I hear from 20 are only complaints. They complain that they 21 work 22 , that it is

27 . It’s 28 that I 29
drive without a passenger. So I can earn two or three thousand Yuan a month with ease. Any30? Yes, I never follow an empty taxi. If it goes31, I go northward. If it goes along the highway, I turn into a 32 street. In this way I always get customers.
His words showed his satisfaction with his life and the pride he 33
in his job. Such feelings are so 34 among people nowadays as oxygen in high mountains. As an ancient saying 35 , “Neither joy in material gains nor grieve over personal setbacks (挫折).” How many people nowadays can show high ideals by simple living and go far with a calm mind? I couldn’t help feeling curious when I found such a state of mind in a stranger on a cold winter night.

Passage
An inspirational young man who wasn’t expected to survive a climbing accident is fighting his way back to fitness and raising cash for those who saved his life. Callum Rock’s family
21
the worst after their 16-year-old son suffered injuries. The
22
in the hospital lasted 12 hours to
23
his damaged body, including a severe brain injury. But despite fears that he might never walk again, Callum, now 20, has
24
everybody wrong with his amazing recovery. Not only is he walking, but he has just
25
a 5-mile run in 50 minutes to raise money for the Great North Air Ambulance. Callum, who had to re-learn
26
, has come a very long way from the day he nearly
27
the accident. Back then, his parents were living every moment with the fear they might
28
him.Mum Jan said “He wasn’t expected to survive
29
his injuries were so severe. There were five surgeons
30
to repair his artery(动脉). They had great
31
in stopping the bleeding.” Jan said the surgeons were “
32
” and Callum pulled through, but then followed a long
33
of re-building his body. Jan said “When he first
34
his eyes, he couldn’t do anything. He was just like a newborn baby again. He had to be
35
how to sit up and walk.” Callum admits that having to learn things again has been
36
. He jokes that he is like “the Iron Man”,
37
the scars on his right arm.
His story has
38
a local businessman, who donated £500 to Callum. With this generous donation,
