Sally is eighty-six years old. She has no sons    1    daughters. Her husband died ten years ago. But she didn’t move into a nursing home. She would like to    2    herself every day.

Every night she spends two hours    3    kids with math for twenty years. All kids living on her street can get her help without payment（报酬). She was a famous math    4    before she retired（退休) from a middle school. 

She gets up early in the morning, then does sports, goes shopping or helps cleaners    5    the street. And she does these happily.

When the kids come for help, she is always    6    and tries her best. People asked her    7   . She said, “I love it. It makes me happy to help them.”

She is always happy every day and always says hello to people around her    8    a smile.

“ I’ve decided to love everything around me. So I’m happy to do    9   . I’m thankful for those kids who come to me for help. Each kid is my    10   . I love each day to help them.” she said. 

Really, a good decision decided on what one does in life.

Few people like changing their habits, good or bad. Whether it is smoking, drinking or over-eating, they   1   “enjoying” them to the end. 

On every packet of cigarettes（香烟), people are warned against the   2  of smoking: “Warning: Cigarette Smoking Is Dangerous to Your Health”.   3  , millions of them start smoking or go on smoking. Why？ 

Facts show that families and surroundings（环境) play a very important part in   4   smokers. All those smokers come from smoking families or have smoking   5   or relatives. Films and TV plays also play a part. People   6   their “heroes” on TV drinking alcohol（酒) or smoking cigarettes. “Heroes” seem to fear   7 , neither killing themselves nor killing others with alcohol and cigarettes. If they are not afraid of the harm of smoking and drinking,   8   should common people be afraid？

The simple warning on the cigarette packet does not influence smokers’ habits. Even   9   warnings, like showing pictures of smokers who have died of cancer, don’t seem to work.  

Knowing and believing seem to be two   10   things. If smoking is really as harmful as doctors say, it is time for smokers to think about it and try to give it up!

      I was flying to New York at night. Suddenly, a storm broke and the plane began to be tossed（颠簸)around. 

      When I looked   1   the plane, I could see that nearly all the passengers were worried and afraid. The future seemed terrible and many were    2     if they would make it through the storm.

      Then , I    3    saw a little girl. It seemed that the storm meant   4    to her. She sat on her seat reading a book. Sometimes she closed her eyes, then she would read again, with no    5    or fear in her eyes. When the other passengers were scared（惊恐的) half to death, that child was completely calm and    6   . I couldn’t believe my eyes.

     When the plane finally reached New York, I was not surprised to   7     that all the passengers were hurrying to come out. I stopped and spoke to the girl whom I had   8     for such a long time. I asked    9     she had not been afraid. 

     The child replied, “My daddy is the   10    , and he is taking me home.”
