I became a gardener when I was twelve. My early   36  of gardening may not have originated from my love for nature. It was to   37  my parents.
At that time, we had a big yard in which a beautiful maple tree stood. But my mother often looked with  38  at this work of natural art. Those golden leaves seemed like tons of rubbish to her, “something else to   39  !”Seeing the neighbors busy with gardening, my father even thought it a waste of time.
At that age, I always did something   40   to whatever my parents did!If gardening were something they found  41  , I would plant a garden!
I planted some lily(百合花)seeds in the yard. But they failed to   42 . I continued to plant sunflower seeds and roses. Wild  43 joy, I found the first rose bloom(開花). One by one, the flowers bloomed their heads off. 44  , I was touched by this land of wonder.
  45 , my parents showed no interest in my garden. My father even   46  at me because he found it was  47  to move around my garden to the driveway. To my mother’s   48  , I put in her vase my real roses which, in her eyes, were simply weeds 49  flowers.
Regardless of their   50  , I kept on planting my garden and  51 to enjoy the pleasure of gardening. Plants make such good companions: they breathe, they bloom, they   52  to care and love.
It has been many years since I made my first garden out of my desire to  53  my parents. Today I become known as Mrs. Greenthumbs, teaching gardening and hosting a gardening show, which makes my parents feel very   54  . And now I could say it is my affection for  55   that makes me a real gardener.

Some say every day miracles are predestined (注定的)---- All that’s necessary is readiness, the right circumstance for the appointed meeting. And it can happen anywhere.  
In 1999, 11-year-old Kevin Stephan was a bat boy for his younger brother's Little League team in Lancaster, New York. It was an early evening in late July. Kevin was standing on the grass away from the plate, where another youngster was warming up for the next game. Swinging his bat back and forth, and giving it all the power an elementary school kid could give, the boy brought the bat back hard and hit Kevin in the chest. His heart stopped.  
When Kevin fell to the ground, the mother of one of the players rushed out of the stands to his aid. Penny Brown hadn't planned to be there that day, but at the last minute,she had changed  her shift (輪班) at the hospital, and she was given the night off. Penny bent over the senseless boy, his face already starting to turn blue, and giving CPR, breathing into his mouth and giving chest compressions (按壓). And he came to life.
After his recovery, he became a volunteer junior firefighter, learning some of the emergency first-aid techniques that had saved his life. He studied hard in school and was saving money for college by working as a dishwasher in a local restaurant in his spare time.
Kevin, now 17, was working in the kitchen when he heard people screaming, customers in confusion, employees rushing toward a table. He hurried into the main room and saw a woman there, her face turning blue, her hands at her throat. She was choking .
Quickly Kevin stepped behind her, wrapped his arms around her and clasped his hands. Then, using skills he'd first learned in Scouts, the food that was trapped in the woman's throat was freed. The color began to return to her face.
“The food was stuck. I couldn't breathe,” she said. She thought she was dying. “I was very frightened.”
Who was the woman?
Penny Brown.
小題1:Kevin Stephan fell to the ground and fainted probably because ________.
