I met Kumkum at a children’s home in Delhi. It is a home 小题1: children who are sick are provided treatment and care before 小题2:(send) to some other orphanage.

It was one such moment that the child felt like 小题5: (kiss) me... and I suddenly remembered that she was suffering from tuberculosis which is a communicable(传染性的）disease. I tried to stop her 小题6: she really wanted to show her affection for me, so I overcame my fear and let her place the 小题7: gentle and sweet kiss on my cheek that I ever had.
Although I overcame my fear at that moment, I 小题8: (not forgive) myself ever since for refusing her 小题9: (initial). Although the child kissed me, I think she sensed my hesitation 小题10: she has never kissed me again. I will never forget that the most beautiful thing in this world is a child’s kiss... so full of love and innocence. |
A new campaign to ban smoking in taxis is part of a wider push to clean up the city’s image before the 2010 World Expo(2010年世界博览会). The Shanghai Dazhong Taxi, a taxi company, said drivers _小题1:_(find) smoking in their cabs could “possibly” be fined or even temporarily banned __小题2:_ working. Signs __小题3:(place) in all of the taxi company’s 9,100 strong fleet (车队) saying “No Smoking in Taxis. Welcome to Shanghai World Expo”．
“We hope the sanitation(卫生环境) of cabs in the city will be improved through our no-smoking campaign，__小题4:_ is a mutual benefit for __小题5:_ drivers and passengers. ”
Dazhong said it would __小题6:_(close) monitor the campaign’s progress.
Drivers caught smoking will undergo the company’s training and inspection program. “Cabs found to have cigarette smell will be called back”， Zhao said.
Many taxi drivers smoke __小题7:_(relax) from working long hours. The official admitted __小题8:_ would not be an easy task to achieve a total smoke ban in a short time.
“Promoting non-smoking taxis in the whole city is _小题9:__ long journey，” Zhao said. “_小题10:__ having a long way to go, we are confident of fulfilling our ‘smoke-free taxi’ program in the city through our diligence.” |
At one point along an open highway，I came to a crossroads with a traffic light. I was alone on the road by now, but _小题1:__ I drove up to the light，it turned red，and I braked to a halt. I looked left, right，and behind me. Nothing，_小题2:__a car，no suggestion of headlights, but there I sat，_小题3:_(wait) the light to change，the only human being for at least a mile in any direction.
I started wondering _小题4:_I refused to run the light. I was not afraid of __小题5:_(catch) by the police, because there was obviously no cop anywhere around and _小题6:certainly would have been no danger in going __小题7:_ it.
Much later that night，the __小题8:_ question of why I’d stopped for that light came back to me. I think I stopped because it’s part of a contract(合同) we all have with each other. It’s not only the law, but it’s an agreement we have，and we trust each other to honor _小题9:__：We don’t go through red lights. Like most of us, I’m more ready to be stopped from doing something bad by the social agreement that disapproves of it __小题10:_ by any law against it. |
Long before, there was a large mountainside, where rested an eagle"s nest with four large eagle eggs. One day 小题1: earthquake rocked the mountain, causing one of the eggs to roll down the mountain to a chicken farm 小题2: (locate) in the valley below. The chickens were kind enough to care for the eagle"s egg, and an old hen volunteered to nurture (哺育) and raise the large egg.
One day, the egg hatched and a beautiful eagle was born. Sadly, 小题3: , the eagle was raised to be a chicken. Soon, the eagle believed he was nothing more 小题4: a chicken. The eagle loved his present family, but his spirit cried out 小题5: more. While playing on the farm one day, the eagle happened to notice a group of mighty eagles soaring in the skies. "Oh," the eagle cried, "I wish I could soar like those birds."
The chickens roared with 小题6: (laugh), “You cannot soar with those birds. You are a chicken and chickens do not soar."
The eagle continued staring at his real family up above, 小题7: (dream) that he could be with them. Each time the eagle would let his dreams 小题8: (know), he was told it couldn"t be done. That is 小题9: the eagle learned to believe. The eagle, after time, stopped dreaming and continued to live like a chicken. Finally, after a long life as a chicken, the eagle passed away.
You become what you believe you are. So, if you ever dream of becoming an eagle, follow 小题10: dreams... not the words of a chicken. |
