My earliest memory of dad is grabbing（抓�。﹉is hand while we walked together. As I grew older, I remember my father and I listening to basketball games on the radio. I always fell asleep   35  the game was over. When I woke up in the morning, the score sheet with the   36  score on it would be lying next to me. I’ll always remember that.

On cold mornings my father would bring his bread truck by the house. I used to ride on the floor of that bread truck as he delivered（分送）the bread to the stores. The   37  and the warmth from the bread made my mouth water and kept me warm. I’ll always remember that.

My father would be present at all my games. One night before an important game my father told me   38  that he wouldn’t be able to watch the game because he had to deliver the bread and it was a three-hour   39 . The next day as the game drew near I thought about my dad. I happened to look across the field and   40  saw his bread truck pulling into the stadium. He managed to   41  the game. I’ll always remember that.

Years later I had become a   42 . I’ll never forget the voice on the phone early one morning telling me dad had just been killed in a traffic accident. I could hear my heart   43  in my ears. I   44  the phone and went back to my bedroom. After that nothing really   45  to me. I still taught in school but I couldn’t centre attention on my teaching. One day I was on the playground when a little boy walked up to me and grabbed my hand. His hand held mine the same way I used to hold my father’s by the last two fingers. At that moment I found my   46  in life again. You see even though my father was gone, he left something with me. He left me his smile, compassion and touch. My purpose was to use those gifts as he did. From that day on I started. I’ll always remember that!

What does an athlete need to get to the top of sport? Talent is one thing of course, but perhaps there’s 　36 more important than that—hard work. Top sportsmen and sportswomen take their sports very seriously and want to be the best.

Tara Lipinski is a pretty American teenager. She 　37 the world ice-skating championship when she was only fourteen years old. From the age of three, when she 　38 a pair of ice skates for the first time, she loved the sport more than anything else in the world. She trains for many hours every day, and 39 outside with her friends to parties is nearly impossible.

Boris Becher has been famous 　40 he won the Wimbledon Men’s Singles Tennis Championship in 1985.He was only seventeen years old then, and he had beaten many of the best players in the world at that time .He always 　41 hard every day. He never had the same kind of lifestyle as most other teenage boys. He couldn’t spend his weekends 　42 the TV, at parties or in restaurants. He 　43 even eat chocolate whenever he wanted, everything he did was for tennis and his daily training was very strict.

To succeed like Tara and Boris, you 　44 a lot of help and support from everyone around you, especially your 　45 .You must give up a lot of freedom, but if you ask these champions what they think, they will tell you it’s all worth（值得）it.

I didn’t cry when I learned I was the parent of a disabled child. I just sat still and didn’t say anything.    

When Jenny was old enough, I sent her to a kindergarten（幼兒園）. On the first morning, Jenny spent hours playing by herself. It seemed that she felt very(41).    

However, to my joy, Jenny’s classmates always (42) her, “You got all your spelling words right today!” In fact, her spelling list was the (43). Later, she faced a very painful (44) —— at the end of the term, there was a game which had (45) to do with physical education. But Jenny was (46) in it.    

My husband and I were anxious about the day. I wanted to let my child stay home! But my heart wouldn’t let me off that easily. So I (47) a pale, unwilling Jenny onto the school bus.    

At the kindergarten, I was quite worried because of her (48) action, Jenny would probably hold up her team. The game went well until it was time for the sack（麻袋）race. Surely Jenny would find it (49). Now each child had to climb into a sack, jump to the finishing line, return and climb out of the sack. I noticed Jenny standing near the end of her line of players.    

But as it was her turn to join, a change took place in her (50). The tallest boy behind Jenny placed his hands on her waist（腰）. Two other boys (51) in front of her. The moment the player before Jenny stepped out from the sack, the two boys (52) the sack suddenly and kept it open while the tall boy lifted Jenny and (53) her into it. A girl nearby took her hand and supported her (54) Jenny got her balance. Then she jumped forward, smiling and proud. In the cheers of the teachers, schoolmates and parents, I silently thanked the warm, understanding people in life who made it  (55) for my disabled daughter to be like her fellow human beings. Then I finally cried.
