contained four   1    eagle eggs. One day an earthquake rocked (使震动) the mountain   2    one of the
eggs to roll down the mountain,    3    a chicken farm, which was in the valley below. The chickens knew
that they must    4    and care for the eagle’s egg, so an old hen (母鸡)   5    to hatch (孵) and raise the
large egg.
     One day, the egg hatched and a beautiful eagle was born.    6   , however, the eagle was raised to be
a(n)    7   . Soon, the eagle believed he was   8    more than a chicken. The eagle loved his home and
family,   9    his spirit cried out for more. While playing a game on the farm one day, the eagle looked to
the skies
above and     10    a group of eagles soaring in the skies. "Oh," the eagle    11 , "I wish I could soar like
those birds." The chickens shouted with   12   , "You cannot soar with those birds. You are a chicken and
chickens do not soar."
     The eagle    13    staring at his real family up above,    14   that he could be with them. Each time the
eagle would let his    15    be known, he was told it couldn’t be done. That is    16    the eagle learned to
believe. Slowly, the eagle    17   dreaming and continued to live his life like a chicken.   18 , after a long
life as a chicken, the eagle    19   .
     You become what you believe you are; so if you ever dream to become an eagle,   20   your dreams,
not the words of a chicken.

     I began working in journalism when I was eight. It was my mother"s idea. She wanted me to "make
something" of myself, and decided I had better start young if I was to have any chance of keeping up
with the competition.
     With my load of magazines I headed toward Belleville Avenue. The crowds were there. There were
two gas stations on the corner of Belleville and Union. For several hours I made myself highly visible,
making sure everyone could see me and the heavy black letters on the bag that said THE SATURDAY
EVENING POST. When it was supper time, I walked back home.
      "How many did you sell, my boy?" my mother asked.
      "None."
       "Where did you go?"
      "The corner of Belleville and Union Avenues."
      "What did you do?"
      "Stood on the corner waiting for somebody to buy a Saturday Evening Post."
      "You just stood there?"
      "Didn"t sell a single one."
      "My God, Russell!"
      Uncle Allen put in, "Well, I"ve decided to take the Post." I handed him a copy and he paid me a
nickle(五分镍币). It was the first nickle I earned.
      Afterwards my mother taught me how to be a salesman. I would have to ring doorbells, address
adults with self-confidence, and persuade them by saying that no one, no matter how poor, could afford
to be without the Saturday Evening Post in the home.
      One day, I told my mother I"d changed my mind. I didn"t want to make a success in the magazine
business.
     "If you think you can change your mind like this," she replied, "you"ll become a good-for-nothing."
She insisted that, as soon as school was over, I should start ringing doorbells, selling magazines. Whenever I said no, she would scold me.
      My mother and I had fought this battle almost as long as I could remember. My mother, dissatisfied
with my father"s plain workman"s life, determined that I would not grow up like him and his people. But
never did she expect that, forty years later, such a successful journalist as me would go back to her
husband"s people for true life and love.

     My husband and I insisted that our children were old enough to clean their rooms and make
their beds. But they thought   1  . My complaints, even self-justified(自有道理)  2  , were always
landing on   3   ears. Very often a whole hour"s scolding would end with their   4   into tears. I felt
very frustrated. I realized I needed to   5   my method of "mothering".
     One day when they were at school, I spent some time tidying their rooms. On their desks, in
plain   6  , I left the cards: "Dear Bill(the other card was   7   to Sarah), your room was messy
this morning and I"m sure you like it clean. Love, the Room Fairy."   8   arriving back, the children
were   9   excited to receive the little note from the Room Fairy. The next day, their rooms were
fairly tidy. Sure enough, there was another note from the Room Fairy   10  for them, thanking them
for their nice "gift" of a clean room and   11 asking them to play a certain violin  12 . Each day,
thank-you notes would be written differently to keep the ideas   13 .
    Sometimes the Room Fairy would propose a little   14 : "If you can finish your homework and
go over your lessons before dinner, I"d like to watch a particular television program with you tonight."
Sometimes some colored markers or other little items would be left in   15   of well-done jobs the
day   16
       17   I can"t remember how long "the Room Fairy" continued leaving her love notes. When they
were age appropriate, we used various versions of Post-Its (贴条). The bathroom mirror became
the   18   centre of our home. Appointments, notices about visiting relatives, lesson schedules, and
changes in plans could be   19  .
      all benefited from and   20   the idea of sharing reminders and daily details of life through notes.
I believe the true advantage of the Room Fairy notes survives in our frequent and enjoyable
communication.

about it was- a throbbing(跳动) blue light.

light in front of his eyes. As the evening   8   darker, the light grew stronger. Bill got ready for the
night shift. But by 8 o"clock the blue light was so bright that he could   9   see anything else. He and
his wife were very puzzled. Bill had never been    10   before.
     "Don"t go to work,"Mrs.Trew said. "If it isn"t better   11   tomorrow, I"ll have to send for the
doctor."
Bill didn"t go to work. He sat in an armchair,    12   but with closed eyes.  13   then the blueness was
like a living thing. It surrounded him, silent, throbbing. The family went to bed but Bill wasn"t   14  : he
stayed in his armchair.

feet. The blue light was   17   ! He rushed outside. Someone shouted, "Gas! gas in Park Deep! Oh pity
the night shift!"
