The school was across the street from our home and I would watch the kids as they   36  during the break. She seemed so small as she,    37   her way through the crowd of boys on the playground. She stood out from them all.     ’

I began to notice her at other times, basketball in hand, playing   38   . She would practice dribbling（運(yùn)球）and shooting over and over again, sometimes until dark.  One day I asked her  39  she practiced so much. She looked  40   in my eyes and without a moment of    41    she said, ‘‘I want to go to college. The only way I can go is if I get a（an）  42   . I am going to play college basketball. I want to be college. My Daddy told me if the dream is big enough, the facts don’t   43  . ”

Well, I had to give it in to her—she was   44   . One day, I saw her sitting in the grass, head   45  in her arms. I walked toward her and quietly asked what was the matter. ‘‘Oh, nothing, "came a soft reply. ‘‘I am just too   46  . ”The coach told her that at her height she would probably  47   get to play for a top ranked team much  48   offered a scholarship. So she should stop dreaming about college.  

She was heartbroken and I   49  her disappointment. I asked her if she had talked to her dad about it yet. She told me that her father said those coaches were  50   .  

They just did not understand the   51   of a dream. He told her that if she really wanted to play for a good college, if she truly wanted a scholarship,   52  could stop her except one thing—her own   53  .  

The next year,  as she and her team went to the Northern California Championship game, she was seen by a college coach. She was indeed   54   a scholarship. She was going to get the college education that she had dreamed of and worked    55   it for all those years.

I was curious to see his personal car but did not make it until I    42    to be outside one evening two weeks    43   , when the garage door was    44    and he drove out in his “own” car: a Rolls-Royce （勞斯萊斯）!

One morning, there was a 34 on the elder brother’s door. A carpenter was looking for a few days’ work. “Perhaps you would have a few small 35 here and there that I could help with.” said the carpenter.

The carpenter said, “I think I understand the 42 . “Show me the nails and shovel and I’ll be able to do a job that 43 you.”

Then the elder brother went to town for supplies and the carpenter worked hard all that day. At about sunset when the elder brother 44 , the carpenter had just finished his job.

The elder brother’s eyes opened wide. There was no 45 there at all. It was a bridge--- a bridge 46 from one side of the creek to the other! And his younger brother was coming toward them, his 47 outstretched.

“You are quite the guy to 48 me speak to my brother again.” The two brothers stood at each 49 of the bridge, and then they met in the middle, 50 each other’s hands.

The carpenter then left, adding that he would have many more bridges to build.

A few minutes later, I heard the truck   38   its engine and move fast. I kept making sounds to show my protest, but failed to make any   39  . Finally she put me down in a   40   place. Maybe she didn’t want me to die from lack of air; she untied the bag.

I   41   out and looked up, only to see many strange faces and fingers pointing at me.

It turned out that my owner meant to   42   me. I saw my owner on the truck, which was going farther and farther away. So I cast my head   43   the direction of the truck.

Oh God! I think I was about seven when my sisters and I pulled this stupid stunt（驚險(xiǎn)動(dòng)作）.

I remember we were watching TV when we heard my  36  , Chris, shouting from the backyard. We all    37    out to see what happened.   38 we finally located him, he was in a tree 39  from the highest tree branch. Crying, he explained he had climbed up the tree and couldn’t get down. One of us should climb up but we couldn’t   40   to get him moving down.

Luckily, my youngest sister, Ka, five then, had seen a(n) 41  situation. She suggested we grab a 42   , hold it under the branch, and tell him to   43    so we could catch him. My other sister, Yams, one year younger than me, looked at me eagerly to    44    her idea and I said “Yeah, let’s try that.”

Immediately we    45    a sheet and held it beneath the tree. Now mind you, the ages holding this blanket were    46    from seven to five, thus the sheet was probably being held up to our waist and also close to touching the ground. But we were    47    it could work.

Chris, my brother, aged four, looked down at us with hesitation, asking in a  48  voice, “Are you sure I’ll land on the blanket?” But because of a problem at  49  with his tongue being a bit attached to the mouth, it came out like this, “Ah you sho awill lan on da blanked?” “Yup!” I told him, “We’re sure!” and he let go.

How    50    he was to trust us! And no matter how  51  we held, Chris fell right 52 that sheet and landed on his stomach. This tiny seventy-pound boy had made a big    53    right in the sheet!

Because he wasn’t moving, we bent down to sense if he was still alive. Slowly, he uttered these five words, “Ah stee hi da flow!”,    54  ,  “I still hit the floor!” Poor little man!

Now Chris is fourteen and he still blames us about it.  55  , he wants to be a fireman when he grows up.

If you love your husband, leave him alone. And if you think you are attractive, don't say it.

This is what Jane Lin did for her husband Ang Lee, who last week became the first Asian to have  41  the best director Oscar award for his love movie "Brokeback Mountain."

Ang Lee was  42  upon graduation with a master's degree in film production from New York University in 1984. He had to stay at home as a  43  husband until 1990.

Jane did not for once think of leaving him,  44  would many modern girls who are  45 to play with rich directors and abandon them once they're  46  on their luck.

47  despair surrounded her now and then, Jane  48  Ang and believed he was cut out to be a genius  49  - only his time had not yet  50 .  For six years, Ang was supported  51  by Jane, who earned a meager salary as a microbiologist in the United States.

At one time, Ang wanted to  52  computer science so as to find a job quickly, but Jane  53 . She simply would not let her poor but  54  husband go out and find just any old job.

In  55  six years, Ang wrote many screenplays and at the same time became a great cook.

Ang has said time and  56  that he would never have  57  without Jane's love and trust.

But  58  an Associated Press story released on Wednesday, Jane said  59 : "I did not support him, I just left him alone."

The Associated Press quoted Taiwanese producer Huang Yi-kung, who produced Ang's famed Chinese-language movies - "The Wedding Banquet" in 1993 and "Eat Drink Man Woman" in 1994 —as saying that Ang's thanks to Jane and memories of past  60  were never superficial.

Twenty years ago, I drove a taxi for a living．One night I went to pick up a passenger at 2:30 A.M．When I  31  , I found the building was dark except for a single light in a ground floor   32  ．

I walked to the door and knocked, “Just a minute,” answered a weak, elderly   33  ．

After a long pause, the door opened．A small woman in her eighties stood   34   me．By her side was a small suitcase．I took the suitcase to the car, and then   35  to help the woman．She took my arm and we walked   36   toward the car．

She kept thanking me for my kindness．“It’s nothing,” I told her．“I just try to   37   my passengers the way I would want my mother treated．”When we got into the taxi, she gave me an address, and then asked, “Could you drive   38  downtown?”

  “It’s not the shortest way,” I answered quickly．

  “Oh, I’m   39  ,” she said．“I’m on my way to a hospice(臨終醫(yī)院)．I don’t have any   40   left．The doctor says I don’t live very long．”

I quietly reached over and  41   the meter(計(jì)價(jià)器)．

For the next two hours, we drove through the city．She   42  me the building where she had once worked, the neighborhood where she had lived, and the furniture shop that had once been a ballroom where she had gone  43   as a girl．

Sometimes she’d ask me to slow down in front of a   44   building and would sit staring into the darkness, saying nothing．

At   45  , she suddenly said,” I’m tired．Let’s go now．”

We drove in silence to the   46  she had given me．

“How much do I   47  you?” she asked．

“Nothing．” I said．

“You have to make a living,” she answered．“Oh, there are other  48  ,” I answered．

Almost without thinking, I   49   and gave her a hug．She held into me tightly．Our hug ended with her   50  , “You gave an old woman a little moment of joy．”
