a fair(交易会)came to the nearby town.
They went to the fair and looked at all the things to buy. Matt"s wife wanted to buy a hat only costing $28, but was refused. Later on, a comb of $5 attracted her attention, but he would not let her spend
any money.
Then, in a nearby field, they saw a small airplane. "Fun flight!" the notice said, "$10 for 10 minutes."
Matt had never been in an airplane and he wanted to go on a fun flight. However, he didn"t want to
pay for his wife either. "I"ve only got $10," he told the pilot. "Can my wife come with me for free?" The
pilot wasn"t selling many tickets, so he said, "I"ll make a bargain with you. If your wife doesn"t scream,
she can have a free flight."
Matt agreed, and got into the small airplane with his wife. The pilot took off and made his airplane do
all kinds of things. At one moment it was flying upside down.
When the plane landed, the pilot said, "OK, your wife didn"t make a sound. She can have her ride
free."
"Thank you," Matt said, "it wasn"t easy for her, you know, especially when she fell out."

was to reach the top of a very high tower. A big crowd had gathered around the tower to
see the race and cheer on the contestants.(选手)
The race began…
Honestly, no one in the crowd really believed that the tiny frogs would reach the top of
the tower. You heard statements such as:
"Oh, it"s too difficult!"
"They will NEVER make it to the top."
"Not a chance that they will succeed. The tower is too high!"
The tiny frogs began falling down, one by one…
…except for those who in a fresh tempo(节奏) were climbing higher and higher…
The crowd continued to shout, "It is too difficult! No one will make it!"
More tiny frogs got tired and gave up… But one continued higher and higher and
higher …This one wouldn"t give up!
In the end, everyone else had given up climbing the tower, except for the one tiny frog
which, after a big effort(努力), was the only one who reached the top!

do it.

having to 1 on Christmas Day, a woman and four small children showed up at my desk.
"Are you all sick ?" I asked. "Yes." the woman said 2 and lowered her head. But when itcame to
telling me about their 3 , things got a little surprising. They all seemed to be well and there was
nothing 4 with their body.
Why did they tell a 5 that they were all sick? I did not say anything but 6 that it
might be a little time before a doctor could 7 them . The mother said, "Take your time. We can 8
here. It"s so warm." When she finished the register chart, I noticed she didn"t write down theiraddress-
were they 9 ?
I looked at the 10 around the Christmas tree. The children were excited and 11 to be healthy.
The littlest one was pointing at the Christmas tree and said something to the mother. Then I wassure that
they came here not because of 12 but only for warmth.
I went back to the nurses" station and 13 the homeless family. The nurses, 14 about working on
Christmas Day like me, turned to feel sorry for the family and decided to 15 .We bought delicious food
in the hospital restaurant and 16 a big dinner for our guests. Weneeded 17 . So we put apples in a
basket and collected candies and clothes. Just as we were
seriously prepared to meet the physical needs of the 18 , our team worked to meet the needs of a
family who just wanted to be 19 on Christmas Day.
Later, as the family was to 20 , the youngest child ran to me and said, "Thank you very much.Good
bye. "
