Brian started shouting, “Find my gun!” and I started getting 28 . I knew it was somewhere, but the whole corner was looking 29 to me. Everyone stood around and watched 30 I desperately dug at the ground. No one 31 . My eyes started burning, and I knew I was going to cry. I 32 with Brian screaming, “You bastard!

I love spending weekends with my grandparents. I felt especially welcome and 36 in Grany’s small kitchen. It was there that we had conversations and Grany always seemed to include a bit of 37 with every recipe she prepared.
I remember one Saturday morning 38 . After breakfast I asked Grany, “What kind of soup are you making today?” “Vegetable beef,” she answered, “And you can help by chopping some carrots and celery.” As I slowly peeled carrots, I 39 , “I’ve got to give an oral work report next week and I’m 40 .”
Grany looked at me and said, “Most people are afraid of 41 speaking. But remember, the only thing you have to fear is fear 42 .”
“But I don’t like standing up in front of everybody. 43 I forget what I’m going to say?”
“Have you prepared 44 ?” asked Grany.
“Well, no. That would be a lot of 45 work.”
“But do you like my soup?” she asked. Soup? I wondered. I thought we were talking about my life.
“I love your soup, Grany.” I said.
“Well, you know, a lot of people don’t 46 homemade soup these days. They say it’s too much trouble. First you have to cook a nice broth(肉汤)and then chop all the vegetables into bite-size pieces.”
“But I don’t 47 a little trouble,” she said. “It adds variety and flavor to my soup and to my life. My soup would be 48 bland(淡而无味的)without the vegetables, and so would my life if it didn’t have the little 49 .”
After pausing she added, “Besides, you have to remember God knows exactly 50 he’s cooking up in your life. You’ve got to trust him with the recipe.” She smiled and then walked to the sink to start washing the dishes.
While I help Grany 51 , I thought as well what she had said. I still had a few days to 52 my oral report.
That Saturday, Grany gave me food for thought as well as a bowl of her homemade soup. Every spoonful of Grany’s masterpiece was 53 with delicious bits of meat and vegetables. As I enjoyed the meal with my grandparents, 54 my problems didn’t seem quite so big any more. I was determined to work on them. Grany had said hard work 55 . Maybe I too could turn a little trouble into something as special as Grany’s homemade soup.tesoon

Your friends might be in Australia or maybe just down the road, but they are all just a few clicks away. Life has changed for millions of young people across the world who now make friends online. Whether you use chat-rooms, QQ, MSN or ICQ, you are a member of this group.
“I don’t often talk with my parents or grandparents, but I talk a lot with my old friends on QQ,” said Fox’s Shadow, the online name used by a girl student in China. “Most of my classmates use QQ after school.”
QQ is the biggest messaging service in China. A record from Tencent, the company which developed QQ, shows that 4 million people used it one Saturday night in October.
And probably Fox’s Shadow was one of them. “I log in on Friday nights, and Saturdays or Sundays when I feel everything around me boring. I usually spend about ten hours chatting online every week,” she said. “But I never talk with strangers, especially boys or men.”

Many people would like to meet offline when they feel they have known someone very well. Fox’s Shadow once met one of her online friends face to face. It was a girl who was a football fan like herself and they went to a football match together.
A 16-year-old Beijing boy, named Bart Simon online, dislikes QQ users. “I used to chat on QQ, but I found that most people were talking about foolish things,” he said. Now he chats online in English, using MSN. “I only chat online because I’ve got friends in Japan, the US and Singapore,” he said. “I want to learn more about foreign cultures.” But he spends little time chatting on QQ as he sees it as a waste of time and money.
“If you are really addicted to it, sometimes you can’t give your mind to your lessons,” he said. “And friends in your real life are always more important than those so-called friends you meet online.”

I want to tell you a story that changed my life many years ago. We were living in College Station, Texas and my wife and I were on our way home from Houston, Texas one Saturday morning. We decided to stop at a local restaurant to get something to eat since we had enough time. When we finished, we got back into our car and before I started it, we noticed a homeless man standing in front of the building. His clothes were worn and it looked as though he didn’t have any money. It was cold and I was sure he wanted something warm to drink; however, it was not this that I remember, because that is not what "moved" me. A dog was also walking up to the front of the building. Being a dog owner, I knew that the dog was a mother, and that she had just had some pups (小狗). She was hungry and weak and I felt bad for her. I knew if she didn’t eat soon, she and her pups would not live. People walking by didn’t even notice her. She was not as pretty and clean as most dogs, but she still deserved (值得) better. We still did not do anything, but someone else did. The homeless man, who I thought could not afford anything to eat, went into the store and bought dog food with all the money he had.

B.The author didn’t understand what the homeless man did.
C.The dog shouldn’t be taken care of carefully because it looked ugly.
