I made up my mind to drive to South Carolina to meet my friends in my used car. Though I had only been there once 1 and did not know the 2 very well. I was on the 3 after I had made some enquires.
At Ashville, there was a crossroad where I could go on along the main road or I could take a short cut. The short cut was to 4 several hills and was dangerous. I hesitated for a little while and then chose the main road, for I wanted to be 5 .
Something strange happened after I drove a long 6 and found it was not the correct road that I wanted to 7 , but the hilly road I decided to avoid. I realized that it was at the 8 that I had made the 9 mistake. “What shall I do?” I asked myself. If I went back to take that road again, it would be very late by the time I got to Columbia. Thinking it 10 , I decided to go on. “If 11 people can go along this road, why can’t I?” I 12 myself.
The short cut, to my surprise, was not that 13 . In fact, it was only a very peaceful country road, 14 up and down two low 15 . There was 16 traffic. On both sides of the road, you could see trees, wild flowers, and 17 with cows and horses. My fear was 18 with the wind. Listening to the beautiful country music over my car stereo (立体声), I drove on and 19 the scenery which was so quiet and so natural. Even my used car forgot to give me 20 . It was just in this light-heartedness that I arrived at my destination. My friends, after they heard what had happened to me, all said it sounded like an adventure.

But I remember that in those days Mr. Douglas was one of my best customers.

It was my first year teaching in a special needs class, and I wasn’t sure what to expect at our yearly Special Olympics sports meeting. My 36 had some challenges, from learning disabilities to cerebral palsy（大脑性麻痹）.
Mark was one with the latter. Restricted to a 37 , he had to fight his spasms （抽筋） just to control his movements. 38 , he always had a positive attitude and greeted everyone with a huge smile.
His classmates 39 him and always took the time to make sure he was included in group activities, especially Mike, Andy and Lucas, three boys who were good at 40 . Obviously, Mark wanted to be like them, unrestricted by the limitation of his 41 and watching them moving on the playing field seemed to fill him with 42 .
When the day came, Mike, Andy and Lucas 43 well in their sports events, and gave the normally calm audience something to cheer about. Mark sat in his wheelchair on the sidelines, 44 them on.
The final event of the day was the 400 meter race. 45 was invited to either walk or run, according to their ability, around the 46 length of the track.
When Mike, Andy and Lucas reached the finish line, they 47 and turned to look behind them. At the 48 of the crowd, determined not to be left behind, was Mark. All his classmates had 49 him. He was alone on the track with over half the distance left to 50 .
Mike, Andy and Lucas looked at each other, and a silent 51 passed between them. Slowly, they jogged 52 towards their friend, cheering him on 53 he had done for them moments before.
The progress was 54 , but in the end the three star runners and Mark crossed the finish line together to the enthusiastic cries of their teachers and classmates. Seeing the look on Mark’s face as he crossed the finish line, hands upraised and laughing, I came to understand what 55 the Special Olympics, and the determined athletes who compete, so extraordinary.
Years later, I’m still cheering them on.

Ashley and Chris work in the same department designing postcards. Chris had a college degree in art and deeply felt that the degree of his designs was excellent. His last postcard showed the depth of a desert’s beauty and delights.
“It’s just a picture of the desert,” Ashley said. “Not deep at all.”
“Some people desire seeing beauty,” Chris replied. “Mine delivers that”.
Ashley laughed and said, “well, that depends on what you think beauty is.”
Days later, someone delivered a letter to Ashley. The letter said, “You are worthy of the bad things that will come your way. You will know the taste of defeat, and I will destroy you.”
Ashley suddenly felt very cold. It was as if the room temperature had dropped 30 degrees. “Who would do such a shocking deed?” she wondered. “I will not let a simple letter defeat me.”
Just then, Chris came into the room and offered Ashley a piece of his sandwich.
“Try some,” he smiled widely. “It’s delicious.”
“Are you trying to poison me?” Ashley asked. Chris’s answer was delayed from confusion. “What’s your problem?” he asked.
The next day, Ashley brought a bat to use to defend herself. When Chris saw her bat, he joked, “Defend and win one for the team.”
Ashley took no notice of him. She spent the whole day reading self-defending books and placed her work on delay. “You can’t delay your work. Our job demands us to do our work on time,” Chris said. “We must meet the demands of our job.”
“You‘re not the boss,” Ashley replied. “Don’t make demands of me.”
Because Ashley failed to do her work, she was fired.
Chris glanced at Ashley’s empty desk and smiled.
