One morning，I had to （50）Dan immediate flight home for a family emergency．I ran into Mary's office（51）A．The woman sitting at the desk，（52）Bmy madness，sympathetically jumped up．She gave me a（53）B  smile，nodded while listening patiently，and then printed out the（54）C immediately．"What a wonderful lady!"I   thought．Rushing out（55）C I called out over my shoulder，"By the way，what's your name？""I'm，Mary"she said．I turned around and saw a （56）Dwoman with a big smile on her face waving to wish me a safe trip．I was（57）D!Why had I thought she was cold？Mary，was，well，so （58）B．
Sitting back in the car on the way to the airport，I figured it all out．Mary's （59）C---her warm smile，her nods，her‘I'm here for you'（60）B---were all silent signals that didn't travel through wires．

18．I do voluntary work for an organization that helps the people in need in Haiti．Recently I took my son Barrett there for a week，hoping to（41）A him．
Before setting out，I told Barrett this trip would be tiring and（42）C．For the first two days，he said almost nothing．I worried the trip was too （43）D for a 17-year-old．Then on day three，as we were （44）Dover high rocky mountains，he turned to me and grinned（咧嘴笑），"Pretty hard．"
After that there was no turning back．A five-year-old girl，wearing a dress several sizes （45）D  large and broken shoes，followed Barrett around，mesmerized（著迷）．He couldn't stop （46）D．Later he said （47）B．"I wish I could speak French．"I was （48）D-this from a boy who hated and （49）B French classes throughout school．
Usually silent，he （50）DGaby，our host，and kept asking questions about the country and its people．He blossomed（活潑起來）．
（51）C，the moment that really took （52）C breath away occurred in a village deep in the mountains．I was （53）A a woman villager for an article.135centimeters tall，she was small in figure but strong in （54）D．Through determination，she had learned to read and write and （55）A to become part of the leadership of the （56）B．
Learning her story，Barrett was as （57）C as I by this tiny woman's achievements．His eyes were wet and there was a （58）A of love and respect on his face．He had finally understood the importance of my work．
When leaving for home，Barrett even offered to stay （59）A as a volunteer．My insides suddenly felt struck．This （60）B achieved all I'd expected．Soon he will celebrate his 18th birthday．He'll be a man．

17．Adventure is in my blood．And I had been considering how I was going to celebrate my high school graduation．I didn't just want a small （41）A in the backyard．I started thinking about doing a solo（單獨的） （42）Asomewhere out of the ordinary．I took out （43）Band drew the 1，500-mile route along which I would be （44）Cfrom the northernmost point in Norway to the southernmost section of Sweden．When I （45）Dmy plans with my dad，he （46）Bas I thought he would．Because I get my adventurous （47）A from him，he was all for it．
I had only been away from my （48）Bthree days now，but there was an inner （49）Cgoing on inside of me．Part of me was homesick and doubting whether I （50）D could make it．The other part of me was ready to （51）Cto myself and my family that I could do it by myself．
On the road，I met another（52）Awho was quite a bit older than I was．He had started his journey （53）B by bike at the southern part of Norway and had just finished．I could tell he had a great sense of  （54）C．It encouraged me not to （55）D．
As I listened to my （56）D artists on my MP4 player，I pedaled （踩踏板） with my feet．There was （57）Aaround me for miles（58）B，that wasn't entirely true．There were mosquitoes-millions of them．My arms were so dotted with （59）Cthat they looked like a topographical map （地形圖）．But，however （60）D it would be，nothing could stop my advance towards the destination．As you know，adventure is in my blood．

He told my sister how he and Marcie had flown to Los Angeles that morning to meet with a doctor of（16）D medicine about treating Marcie，only 35，for her stage 4 breast cancer．（17）A the diagnosis of the doctors in Phoenix had given Marcie only a few months to live，the couple had decided to（18）C other forms of treatment．Although they both felt （19）B about what had been described to them that day，they were also dismayed to learn that the alternative treatment（20）D a $34，000 price tag and would not be covered by（21）A．Additionally，they'd have to pay for a place to（22）C while Marcie underwent treatment．

11．What is a vegan？What is veganism？
Veganism is a type of vegetarian diet that （61）Ameat，eggs，dairy products and all other animal-derived ingredients．Many vegans also do not eat foods that are （62）Cusing animal products，such as refined white sugar and some wines．
Vegan （63）Beither a person who follows this was of eating，or the diet itself．That is，the word vegan can be an adjective used to describe a food item，as in，"This curry is vegan"，or，it can be used as a noun，as in，"Vegans like cookie，too．"
Although there is some （64）C as to whether certain foods，such as honey，fit into a vegan diet，if you are cooking for other vegans，it is best to be careful and （65）Dthese foods．Most vegans （66）Athe definition of veganism to go beyond just food and will also avoid the use of all personal and household products tested on animals，and avoid （67）Band using all animal-derived non-food products，such as leather，fur and wool．
What do vegans eat？
This is perhaps the most common question about veganism．A vegan diet includes grains，beans，legumes，vegetables and （68）Dand the nearly infinite number of foods made by combining them．
（69）C，many vegan versions of familiar foods are available，so you can eat vegan hot dogs，ice cream，cheese and vegan mayonnaise along with the more familiar veggie burgers．Many foods are （70）Cveganism，such as soy milk and tofu，but many non-vegans also enjoy tofu，and you certainly don't have to like tofu in order to eat vegan．
Vegans also eat many of the same common and （71）Bevery day foods which just about every eats． （72）B，foods such as a vegetarian burrito without cheese or sour cream would be vegan，a vegetarian Thai curry made from coconut milk is vegan，pasta with tomato sauce or another non-meat and non-dairy sauce is vegan，and most breads are vegan．
How can I become vegan？
So you've decided to become vegan．But now what？Some people easily go from eating meat to vegan right away，while others struggle with their new （73）C，or choose to go vegetarian first and then（74）Aomit eggs and dairy．There's no right or wrong way to do it，but you may want to learn about what's worked for other people．However you do it，keep your （75）Ain mind and remember why you are choosing to adopt a vegan diet．
