Like most people, I was brought up to look upon life as a process of getting. It was not until in my late thirties that I made this important     : giving-away makes life so much more exciting. You needn¡¯t worry if you       money.
This is how I     with giving-away. If an idea for improving the window display of a neighborhood store     in my mind, I step in and make the     to the storekeeper. If an accident takes place, the     of which I think the local police could use, I     him up and tell him about it, though I am not in    here. I found a rule about this world is to give     getting something back, though the    often comes in an unexpected form.
One Sunday morning the local post office delivered an important special letter to my home, though it was     to me at my office. I wrote the postmaster a note of     . More than a year later I needed a post-office box for a new business I was     . I was told at the window that there were     boxes left, and that my name would have to go on a long     list. As I was about to be      , the postmaster appeared in the    . ¡°Wasn¡¯t it you that wrote us that letter a year ago about delivering an      delivery to your home?¡± I said it was. ¡°Well, you certainly are going to have a box in this post office     we make one specifically for you. You don¡¯t know what a letter like that means to us. We usually get     but complaints.¡±

In side their one-storey, metal-roofed house on Vancouver Island¡¯s west coast£¬Janet Schwartz and her domesticated(Ñ±ÑøµÄ) deer, Bimbo£¬are returning to their normal lives. The law¡ªrepresented by men and women dressed in black uniforms and carrying guns ¡ª is no longer threatening to forcibly separate Schwartz and Bimbo£¬freeing the l0-year-old deer to the fates (ÃüÔË) of the surrounding rainforest and its hungry wolves and black bears£®
¡°We love each other£¬¡±said Schwartz who turned 70 on Saturday. ¡°she¡¯ll come up to me and she¡¯ll kiss me right on the lips£¬1ike a man kisses a woman¡¯¡¯
For four days last week£¬Schwartz¡¯ life turned as rocky as the rough logging road that connected her life to the outside world. Conservation officers had arrived with orders to 1oose Bimbo. Schwartz was to1d she wasn¡¯t allowed to touch Bimbo any more It seemed somebody had complained£¬said  Environment Minister Terry Lake earlier in the week, noting it¡¯s illegal to keep wild animals as pets.
During those tense days£¬sleepless nights were made even more restless by nightmares£¬said Schwartz. There were news stories and Facebook pages which supported Schwartz and by Friday£¬the government had changed its mind. Schwartz could keep her pet with the help of a veterinarian and conservation officers.
¡°It makes me feel good£¬¡±said Schwartz of the announcement£®¡°She is my life£®and I¡¯ve had her since the day she¡¯s been born.¡±
The relationship began when a friend found the orphaned fawn (Ó×¹) along a nearby logging road£¬more than a kilometer away from her current home£¬said Schwartz. The friend brought the fawn over because she knew Schwartz had raised a deer before.
Schwartz named the fawn Bimbo£¬based on a Gene Autry song that was playing inside her home at the time£¬and began feeding the animal goat¡¯s milk.
Days turned into months and years, and now Bimbo¡¯s a part of the family.

B£®She wanted to study the lifestyle of the deer£®
C£®The deer had become part of her life£®
D£®She had a veterinarian to help her£®
СÌâ3: Conservation officers ordered Janet to loose Bimbo because              .
A£®the deer was not properly taken care of
B£®the deer brought harm to the neighborhood
C£®it was against the law to keep the deer as a pet

A£®Schwartz¡¯s love for the deer.
B£®The threat to the deer in the wild.
C£®The change of the law.
D£®The influence from the press and the Web.
СÌâ5:What can we conclude from the text?

B£®Bimbo will be loosed to the wild.
C£®A professional worker will take over Bimbo.

Mondays are usually pretty busy for me. On one of these      Mondays, I got ready to go to work thinking about all the things I had to       on that day and walked down to get to my car scolding myself for being late to work, but       the car was nowhere to be found. I     right across my apartment the previous night but it wasn¡¯t there that morning.
This was at 8:00 am in the morning. I made      to all the towing£¨ÍÏ£©places, police stations all the time thinking that it was towed by     . By around 10:00 am, I couldn¡¯t find it anywhere and the policemen decided that it was      stolen. After filing a report with them, I finally got to work thinking how my day was completely     .
Later in the day I went to pick up a rental car at an enterprise      to realize that my license was missing too along with my car. I told the enterprise guy the whole     and he was so sorry for me that he     to take me to the nearest DMV£¨³µ¹Ü¾Ö£©and get a duplicate£¨¸±±¾µÄ£©   . I was totally surprised. I didn¡¯t know why this complete stranger would want to     some time off his day to help me . He actually took me to DMV, got a duplicate and then      me a car. I was      the whole day because of the continuous events that happened to me but somehow this simple act of kindness from a     stranger made it all worth it. It cheered me up and made me forget all the misfortunes of the day. I was so     by this kind act that the next day I made sure someone else got a similar      . I took some smiley shaped chocolates and     them on some of my colleague¡¯s desks.
This is still a lot     out there in the world. We just need to take the time to discover it.

Linda Evans was my best friend ¨Clike the sister I never had ,We did everything together: piano lessons ,movies, swimming , horseback riding.
When I was 13, my family moved away . Linda and I kept in touch through letters ,and we saw each other on special times ¡ª like my wedding and Linda¡¯s. Soon we were busy with children and moving to new homes, and we wrote less often .One day a card that I sent came back , stamped ¡°Address Unknown¡±. I had no idea about how to find Linda.
Over the years, I missed Linda very much. I wanted to share happiness of my children and then grandchildren . And I needed to share my sadness when my brother and then mother died, There was an empty place in my heart that only a friend like Linda could fill.
One day, I was reading a newspaper when I noticed a photo of a young woman who looked very much like Linda and whose last name was Wagman ¡ªLinda¡¯s married name.¡°There must be thousands of Wagmans.¡±I thought, but I still wrote to her.
She called as soon as she got my letter, ¡°Mrs , Tobin!¡±she said excitedly, ¡°Linda Ev-ans Wagman is my mother.¡±
Minutes later I heard a voice that I recognized at once, even after 40 years . We laughed and cried and caught up on each other¡¯s lives. Now the empty place in my heart is filled. And there¡¯s one thing that Linda and I know for sure; We won¡¯t lose each other again!

A lesson of life
" Everything happens for the best, "  my mother said whenever I faced disappointment. "If you can carry on, one day something      will happen. And you'll     that it wouldn't have happened if not for that previous disappointment. "
After graduating from college, I       that mother was right. I had decided to try for a job in radio, then work my way up to sports announcer. I travelled to Chicago by getting        rides from drivers of passing cars and knocked on the door of every station-and got turned      every time.
In one studio, a kind lady told me that big stations couldn't     hiring inexperienced person-"Go out in the countryside and find a small station that'll give you a        , " she said.
I returned home to Dixon, Illinois. While there was no radio-announcing jobs in Dixon, my father said Montgomery Ward had opened a store and wanted a      athlete to manage its sports department. Since Dixon was where I had played high school football, I      .  The job sounded just       for me. But I wasn't      .
My      must have shown. "Everything happens for the best," Mom      me. Dad      me the car to job hunt. I tried WOC Radio in Davenport, Iowa. The program director, a wonderful Scotsman named Peter MacArthur, told me they had already hired an announcer.
As I left his office,  I felt extremely       .I asked       ,  " How can a fellow get to be a sport announcer if he can't get a job in a radio station?"
I was waiting for the elevator         I heard MacArthur calling,  " What was that you said about sports? Do you know anything about football?" Then he stood me       a microphone (Âó¿Ë·ç) and asked me to broadcast an      game.
On my way home, as I have many times since,  I thought of my mother's words: " Keep on trying until some day you succeed. Something wouldn't have happened if not for that previous failure. " I often wonder what       my life might have taken if I'd got the job at Montgomery

He was concentrating on his job when heavy rain began to pour     . People rushed into the cafe for protection from the     . More and more people crowded in and gradually     the boy from me.
Hours passed, and     turned dark. I had no shoes on my feet and wondered       the boy had been. I thought he would not      my leather shoes, and I would have to walk back home on      in the night.

On my first visit to India with my husband, we met a really nice woman named Uma on the plane. Talking with her made the long flight     much faster.
When we arrived. we learned that our bags had     not made the trip with our plane. As we were filling out the     luggage forms, we couldn't help noticing the mountain of unclaimed baggage in a corner. Would we     see our belongings again? This was not a good beginning of our 6-week trip.
It was now 4 am Saturday morning. The officials had told us there was no     in checking to see if our bags had arrived until Monday. What should we do next?     we  stood there wondering, Uma came over. Learning of our     , she said. "Our driver will soon be here to     me up. Come home with me."
We entered the steamy early     scene outside. Lots of people were waiting for their loved ones. calling their names and    them into warm hugs as they reconnected.     minutes, Uma said, "There's our car!" We piled into the small car, already     with family members who had come to      Uma home.      
At the house, Uma's family took us in      we had known one another for a long time. They fed us delicious Indian meals, took us on      of their city and brought us to their favorite temples. On     morning. their driver brought us to the airport, where we were happy to find our bags,      and sound.
What a gift Uma's      was! In my very first moments on Indian soil. I learned an unforgettable lesson about the warm, generous      of the Indian people. Uma had begun achain reaction that we did our best to     on wherever we went.
