    I suddenly heard an elephant crying as though frightened. Looking down，I immediately recognized that something was wrong，and ran down to the edge of the near bank. There I saw Ma Shwe with her three­month­old calf struggling in the fast-rising water，and it was a life­and­death struggle. Her calf was floating(漂浮) and screaming with fear.Ma Shwe was as near to the far bank as she could get，holding her whole body against the rushing water，and keeping the calf pressed against her huge body.Every now and then the rushing water would sweep the calf away.
    There was a sudden rise in the water and the calf was washed clean over the mother's body and was gone. Ma Shwe turned quickly to reach it and pressed the calf with her head and trunk (象鼻) against the rocky bank. Then with a huge effort，she picked it up in her trunk and tried until she was able to place it on a narrow shelf of rock.
    Just at this moment，she fell back into the river. If she were carried down，it would be certain death. I knew，as well as she did，that there was one spot (地点) where she could get up the bank，but it was on the other side from where she had put her calf.
    While I was wondering what I could do next，I heard the sound of a mother's love. Ma Shwe had crossed the river and got up the bank and was making her way back as fast as she could，roaring (吼叫) all the time，but to her calf it was music.

    A year ago, August, Dave Fuss lost his job driving a truck for a small company in west Michigan. His wife, Gerrie, was still working in the local school cafeteria, but it was         for Dave to find work, and the price of everything was rising. The Fusses were at the risk of joining the millions of Americans who have        their homes in recent years. Then Dave and Gerrie received a timely        —$7,000, a legacy(遗产) from their neighbors Ish and Arlene Hatch, who died in an accident. “It really made a difference when we were meeting difficulty.” says Dave.
    But the Fusses weren’t the only folks in Alto and the neighboring town of Lowell to        unexpected legacy from the Hatches. Dozens of other families were     by what the Hatches had done. In some cases, it was a few thousand dollars; in       , it was more than $100,000.
    It        nearly everyone that the Hatches had so much money, more than $3 million—they were an elderly couple who lived in an old house on what was left of the family farm.
    Children of the Great Depression, Ish and Arlene were known for their habit of     . They preferred comparison shopping and would go from store to store, checking prices before making a new purchase.
    Through the years, the Hatches paid for local children to attend summer camps when their parents couldn’t        it. “Ish and Arlene never asked if you        anything,” says their friend Sandy Van Weelden, “They could see things they could do to make you happier, and they would do them.”
    Even more extraordinary was that the Hatches        their farmland. It was the Hatches’ wish that their legacy—a legacy of kindness as much as one of dollars and cents—should        the whole community and last for generations to come.
    Neighbors helping neighbors—that was Ish and Arlene Hatch’s story.

    I met Billy the last summer before college. He was handsome and his irreverence(玩世不恭) was    to me. We liked each other the first instant we met.       , I was a straight A student and my parents had high hopes for me to     an Ivy League (常春藤联盟) school. Billy did not concentrate all his attention        his study and school life. However, we were in love --- so        teenager love. I still remember we had a plan for prom(舞会). It was understood that we had       about where we would dance and drink and party together.
    This meant one thing to my parents---panic. And it grew as the       letters began to roll in. Of the eleven schools I applied to, nine accepted me. And one of them was Brown University---the Ivy League     in 1770 in historic Providence, Rhode Island.
    There was no         that I was drawn to Brown, but Billy (who had joined the army) was      down south and I had offers      for me there, too. I was torn between my love for him and my family      .
    One week        the start of school, my mother had a talk with me. She said I was eighteen years old and I had a        to make--- one that went        beyond the choice of       to attend university.
    In August, I      and drove north to Providence. It took several months to     that my life was moving on in a way that was completely different from Billy’s. Brown changed my life, opening doors and giving me the       I now use to think, to learn and to write. Life is always about       it seems, and the older I get, the more I understand this. Still, there are times when I think of Billy because he taught me about love.

    Once when I was a teenager, my father and I were standing in line to buy tickets for the circus. Finally, there was only one family between the ticket office and us. This family made a big impression on me.
    There were eight children, all probably under the age of 12. You could tell they didn’t have a lot of money. Their clothes were not expensive, but they were clean. The children talked excitedly about the clowns. It was clearly a very important day out for them. The father and mother seemed happy as they could be.
    The tickets lady asked how many tickets the father wanted, he proudly answered, “Please let me buy eight children’s tickets and two adults’ tickets, so I can take my family to the circus.”
    The ticket lady told him the price.
    The man’s wife lowered her head. There was no longer a smile on the man’s face. He quietly asked, “How much did you say?”
    The ticket lady again told him the price.
    The man obviously didn’t have enough money. But how could he tell his kids the bad news?
    Seeing what was happening, my dad took a $20 note from his pocket and dropped in on the ground. (We were not rich ourselves at all!) He then tapped the man on the shoulder and said, “Excuse me, sir, you dropped this.”
    The man understood my father was helping him. He picked up the money, looked straight into my dad’s eyes, and in tears replied. “Thank you. This really means a lot to me and my family.”
    Although we did not go to the circus that night, we didn’t go without.

    When Mary Moore began her high school in 1951, her mother told her, “Be sure and take a typing course so when this show business thing doesn't work out, you'll have something to rely on.” Mary responded in typical teenage fashion. From that moment on, "the very last thing I ever thought about doing was taking a typing course," she recalls. 
    The show business thing worked out, of course. In her career, Mary won many awards. Only recently, when she began to write Growing Up Again, did she regret ignoring her mom, “I don't know how to use a computer,” she admits. 
    Unlike her 1995 autobiography(自传), After All, her second book is less about life as an award-winning actress and more about living with diabetes (糖尿病). All the money from the book is intended for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF), an organization she serves as international chairman. “I felt there was a need for a book like this,” she says. “I didn't want to lecture, but I wanted other diabetics to know that things get better when we're self-controlled and do our part in managing the disease.” 
    But she hasn't always practiced what she teaches. In her book, she describes that awful day, almost 40 years ago, when she received two pieces of life-changing news. First, she had lost the baby she was carrying, and second, tests showed that she had diabetes. In a childlike act, she left the hospital and treated herself to a box of doughnuts (甜甜圈). Years would pass before she realized she had to grow up ---again---and take control of her diabetes, not let it control her. Only then did she kick her three-pack-a-day cigarette habit, overcome her addiction to alcohol, and begin to follow a balanced diet. 
    Although her disease has affected her eyesight and forced her to the sidelines of the dance floor, she refuses to fall into self-pity. “Everybody on earth can ask, 'why me?' about something or other,” she insists. “It doesn't do any good. No one is immune (免疫的) to heartache, pain, and disappointments. Sometimes we can make things better by helping others. I've come to realize the importance of that as I've grown up this second time. I want to speak out and be as helpful as I can be.”
    小题1:Why did Mary feel regretful? 
    A．She didn't achieve her ambition.
    B．She didn't take care of her mother.
    C．She didn't complete her high school.
