The small room was filled with other families and friends who were eagerly waiting to hear how their
loved ones were doing.
There was a young boy sitting quietly in the 1 . He held a small box of 2 in one hand and tablet [写字板] in the other. So often he would place the tablet on his lap and draw something. As the hour
passed I began to see the room almost 3 . And there was a strange silence.
"Daddy, when is Mommy going home?" the young boy asked, breaking the silence .
"Tomorrow," his father replied. The boy picked up his crayons [蜡笔] and 4 some-thing on the
tablet.

"Come, 7 here next to me," he said with a gentle tone in his voice.
8 his things, the little boy walked slowly to his father"s side from the corner.
The man 9 out and held his son by the shoulders.
"There are three days in life. Yesterday, today and tomorrow. One is over and done, one that we
live in, the other we expect. We can"t live in yesterday, but if we are happy enough today, we will be
even happier tomorrow," he said in an attempt to 10 the boy.
The little boy looked at him for a moment and said, "If Mommy is going home tomorrow, I"ll be
happier. So, I want it to be tomorrow already, Daddy."
Now listening to every word of this 11 carefully, I leaned forward to hear his response. It was

support the Red Cross"s campaign for a total ban on all anti-personnel landmines (地雷). Within hours of
arriving in Angola, television screens around the world were filled with images of her comforting victims
injured in explosions caused by landmines. "I knew the statistics," she said. "But putting a face to those
figures brought the reality home to me; like when I met Sandra, a 13- year-old girl who had lost her leg,
and people like her."
The Princess concluded with a simple message: "We must stop landmines". And she used every
opportunity during her visit to repeat this message.
But, back in London, her views were not shared by some members of the British government, which
refused to support a ban on these weapons. Angry politicians launched an attack on the Princess in the
press. They described her as "very ill-informed" and a "loose cannon (乱放炮的人)."
The Princess responded by brushing aside the criticisms: "This is a distraction we do not need. All I"m
trying to do is help."
Opposition parties, the media and the public immediately voiced their support for the Princess. To
make matters worse for the government, it soon emerged that the Princess"s trip had been approved by
the Foreign Office, and that she was in fact very well-informed about both the situation in Angola and the
British government"s policy regarding landmines. The result was a severe embarrassment for the
government.
To try and limit the damage, the Foreign Secretary, Malcolm Rifkidnd, claimed that the Princess"s
views on landmines were not very different from government policy, and that it was "working towards" a
worldwide ban. The Defence Secretary, Michael Portillo, claimed the matter was "a misinterpretation or
misunderstanding."
For the Princess, the trip to this war-torn country was an excellent opportunity to use her popularity to
show the world how much destruction and suffering landmines can cause. She said that the experience
had also given her the chance to get closer to people and their problems.
B. to clarify the British government"s stand on landmines
C. to investigate the sufferings of landmine victims there
D. to establish her image as a friend of landmine victims
home to me" (Line 5, Paragraph 1)?
B. The actual situation in Angola made her feel like going back home.
C. Meeting the landmine victims in person made her believe the statistics.
D. Seeing the pain of the victims made her realize the seriousness of the situation.
B. they were actually opposed to banning landmines
C. she had not consulted the government before the visit
D. they believed that she had misinterpreted the situation in Angola
B. She made more appearances on TV.
C. She met the 13-year-old girl as planned.
D. She rose to argue with her opponents.
B. It had brought her closer to the ordinary people.
C. It had greatly promoted her popularity.
D. It had affected her relations with the British government.
The instructor asked us to list anything in our past that we felt 1 of, regretted, or incomplete about

Then the man next to me raised his hand and volunteered this story: "Making my 6 , I remembered
an incident from high school. I grew up in a small town. There was a Sheriff none of us kids liked. One
night, my two buddies(老兄) and I decided to play a 7 on him."
"After drinking a few beers, we climbed the tall water tank in the middle of the town, and wrote on
the tank in bright red paint: Sheriff Brown is a FOX. The next day, almost the whole town saw our
glorious 8 . Within two hours, Sheriff Brown had us in his office. My friends told the truth but I lied.
No one 9 found out."
"Nearly 20 years later, Sheriff Brown"s name 10 on my list. I didn"t even know if he was still 11 .
Last weekend, I dialed the information in my hometown and found there was a Roger Brown still listed.
I tried his number. After a few 12 , I heard, "Hello?" I said, "Sheriff Brown?" Paused "Yes". "Well, this

"And I want you to know that I did it." Paused. "I knew it!" he yelled back. We had a good laugh

the boy home, but he had expressed an interest in meeting me. I was told it would mean a great deal to
him, so I agreed.
During the nine-mile drive to his home, I found out something about Matthew. He had muscular
dystrophy (肌肉萎缩症). When he was born, the doctor told his parents that he would not live to five,
and then they were told he would not make it to ten. Now he was thirteen. He wanted to meet me
because I was a gold-medal power lifter, and I knew about overcoming obstacles and going for my
dreams.
I spent over an hour talking to Matthew. Never once did he complain or ask, "Why me?" He spoke
about winning and succeeding and going for his dreams. Obviously, he knew what he was talking about.
He didn"t mention that his classmates had made fun of him because he was different. He just talked about
his hopes for the future, and how one day he wanted to lift weights with me. When we had finished talking, I went to my briefcase and pulled out the first gold medal I had won and put it around his neck. I told him
he was more of a winner and knew more about success and overcoming obstacles than I ever would. He
looked at it for a moment, then took it off and handed it back to me. He said, "You are a champion. You
earned that medal. Someday when I get to the Olympics and win my own medal, I will show it to you."
Last summer I received a letter from Matthew"s parents telling me that Matthew had passed away.
They wanted me to have a letter he had written to me a few days before:
Dick,
My mum said I should send you a thank-you letter for the picture you sent me. I also want to
let you know that the doctors tell me that I don"t have long to live any more, but I still smile as
much as I can.
I told you someday that I would go to the Olympics and win a gold medal, but I know now I
will never get to do that. However, I know I"m a champion, and God knows that too. When I get
to Heaven, God will give me my medal and when you get there, I will show it to you. Thank you
for loving me.
Your friend,
Matthew
