In 1971, a young man who grew up very poor was travelling across the country, trying to make a new __36__ for himself. Along the way, he had __37__ run out of money and was forced to spend the night in his car. This    38    until one morning, after a week of sleeping in his car, he walked    39    into a restaurant and ordered a big breakfast.
After eating his first good meal in    40  , he found himself    41  to the waiter, telling him he had lost his    42 . The waiter, who was also the owner, walked    43   the chair where the young man had been sitting. He bent down,   44    a $20 bill that looked    45  it had fallen on the floor and said, “Son, you must have    46  this,” the owner said. The young man couldn’t believe his    47  ! He quickly paid for the breakfast, left a    48 , bought gas with the change, and headed West.
On the way out of town, he began to understand    49  the fellow did. Maybe nobody dropped the money    50  . “Maybe that fellow just knew I was    51  and he helped me in a way that didn’t __52__ me.” Right then he made a promise to help others if he could.
Later, he worked very hard and became a rich man. Now, he lives near Kansas City. Each year he    53   thousands of dollars. He is known as the “Secret Santa” because at   54  time each year, he personally hands money out to those on the streets and at hospitals. “I’ve lived the story, so I know it certainly more blessed(带来快乐的) to give than to ___55__, because it comes back to you many many times over,” he says. “It restores some faith in humanity.”

Ellen and Bill County are both teachers. They met in college and became good friends because of their shared love for children. Two years after the couple got married, Ellen saw a huge change in the life of one of her students, a 9-year-old girl. Three years ago both of the little girl’s parents had died and there was no one to take care of her. She was taken away to live in a government office. But finally she was taken in and adopted by a family and became their daughter. Ellen said that she noticed the difference in the child’s life after she was placed in a permanent home and thought that maybe she and her husband could help a child in a similar way.
They decided to become temporary parents and to take a child into their home on the weekends when the real parents could not take care of him or her. The pair planned to have their own children in a few years, but decided that this would be a way to give to the community in the meantime.
The couple quickly grew to love one of the children they looked after. When he became legally available, Billy became the first child they took in permanently. Six months after adopting Billy, Ellen was told by her doctor that she was unable to have children naturally. Ellen says she knew then that adoption was the way she was meant to have a family.
Since adopting Billy, now 17, Ellen and Bill have adopted five more children --- Rose,16; Albert, 11; Joshua, 5 and in June 2003, they added biological brother and sister Tyler and Rylee to the County family.
The County family has been recognized for their work on adoption, and have received many awards for their efforts. Last June, the family was even interviewed on the television show, “Adoption Stories”.
Ellen says she would like to encourage other families to adopt children. She adds that the best part of being a mother of six is: “Giving Josh a bath, putting a band-aid on a cut knee or just the everyday mom things, that makes motherhood such an honor and a privilege.”

Although I love my life, it hasn’t been a lot of fun as I’ve been ill for 28 years.
Music has always been a great love of mine and, in my 20s, when my   16  was more manageable , I   17  ten years as a professional singer in restaurants, playing and singing folk songs.   18  that was years ago and times have changed.   19  I live with mother on a country farm.
Two years ago, I decided that I would need to have some kind of extra work to   20   my disability pension (残疾抚恤金).   21  I needed to sleep in the afternoons,  I was limited in my   22  . I decided that I would consider   23  to singing in restaurants.
My family are all musicians, so I was   24  when I went into our local music store. I explained that I wanted to sing again but using recorded karaoke music. I knew that discs were very expensive and I really didn’t have a lot of   25  to get started. And   26  you find only three to four songs out of ten on a disc that you can   27  use.
When I told the owner of the shop about my   28 ; he gave me a long thoughtful     29 . “This means a lot to you, doesn’t it?” he said. “Come with me.”
He led me   30  the crowded shop and to a bench with a large professional karaoke box on it. He placed his large hand   31  on his treasure and said, “I have 800 karaoke songs in here. You can take your   32  and I’ll record them for you. That should get you started.”
I   33 . Thanking him, I made a time with him to listen to all the songs and choose    34  that I could sing. I have come full circle with his help.
His   35  still warms my heart and makes me do just that bit extra, when I have the chance.

I grew up poor – living with six brothers, my father and a wonderful mother. We had   36 money and few worldly goods, but plenty of love and attention. I was   37  and energetic. I understood that no matter how poor a person was, they could   38  afford a dream.
My dream was to be a   39 .When I was sixteen, I could crush a baseball, throw a ninety-mile-per-hour fastball. I was also   40 : my high-school coach was Ollie Jarvis, who   41 me the difference between having a dream and showing strong belief. One particular   42 with him changed my life forever.
It was a summer and a friend recommended me for a summer   43 . This meant a chance for my first income—cash for a new bike and new clothes, and the   44 of savings for a house for my mother. The opportunity was attracting, and I wanted to   45  at it.
Then I realized I would have to   46  summer baseball to handle the work schedule, and that meant I would have to tell Coach Jarvis I wouldn’t be playing. I was   47  about this.
When I told Coach Jarvis, he was as   48 as I expected him to be. “You have your whole life to work,” he said. “Your   49 days are limited. You can’t afford to waste them.”
I stood before him with my head   50 , trying to think of how to explain to him why my dream of buying my mom a house and having money in my pocket was worth   51  his disappointment in me.
“How much are you going to make at this job?” he demanded.
“$ 3.25 an hour,” I replied.
“Well, is $ 3.25 an hour the price of a   52 ?” he asked.
That   53 laid bare for me the difference between wanting something right now and having a goal. I devoted myself to   54  that summer, and within the year I was offered a $ 20,000 contract. I signed with the Denver Broncos in 1984 for $ 1.7 million, and bought my mother the   55 of my dreams.
