I had worked that day, as a nurse. Now I faced the dirty supper dishes. I wanted to  1  why Jimmy hadn’t phoned as usual to say “Good night” to Bob and Tom. “Maybe Daddy's    2  working on an accident,” I said to Bob. “Go to    3   now. You'll see him in the morning.” Soon there was a knock at the door. “There   4   be something wrong with your phone,” my neighbor told me. “The City Police Station wants you to   5 .”
I went into the living room and dialed. Then I  6   the words every police wife fears (害怕): “Your husband has been hurt.” When I reached the hospital, my heart sank (下沉). The entrance was jammed with TV-news trucks. In the   7  I saw Jimmy’s best friend, Smith. “Just tell me -is he alive ?” I asked.
Smith  8  and didn’t answer. Then I found my younger sister, Mandy. “He’s  9 .” she told me, and we began to cry together.
Later, Smith told me   10   had happened.
In the morning, when my little Bob asked, “Where’s Daddy?” I    11    him into my arms and tried to explain. “A bad man   12   Daddy last night.” I said. “Daddy can’t come home any more. He’s in heaven(天堂) now.”
My son looked at me, his blue eyes    13  the picture of trust(相信). “Do they have    14   in heaven ?” he asked. “Can I call him ?”
“No, Bob, Daddy still loves you, but Daddy can’t   15 ”.

An interesting thing happened to me last Sunday. The sunshine was 31 beautiful that I decided to drive in the country. 32 my way home, my car stopped. I was out of gasoline(汽油) on a road away from a town. I decided to 　33 along the road until I found someone who could sell me some gasoline.

I had walked almost a long way before I finally found a big 34 near the road. I was 　 35 to see it because it was getting dark.I knocked on the door and a small old lady with long white hair answered. She 　36 , “I’ve been waiting for you for a long time. Come in, please. I got 37 ready for you.”

“But I’ve come here only for some gasoline.” I answered. I didn’t know 　38 she was talking about. I didn’t understand her.

“Oh, Tony! Gasoline? You used to love tea.”

I quickly explained that my car was out of gasoline, 39 she didn’t seem to hear me. She just kept calling me Tony and talking about how 40 it had been since she had seen me. She was talking so strangely that I wanted to 41 . As soon as she went to get the tea, I went out of the house as 　42 as possible.

I was so happy when I saw 　43　 house by the road. I was able to get some gasoline. When I told the man about the old lady, he said, “Oh, that’s Helen. She lives all by herself in that big house. She’s 44 , but she wouldn’t hurt anyone. She is still waiting for the man whom she was going to marry(結(jié)婚) twenty-five years ago. The man was named Tony. The day before they married, he went away and 　45 came back.’’ I understood!

  It was one of the hottest days of the dry season. We hadn’t seen rain for almost a month.. The crops(莊稼) were dying. The rivers were drying. If we didn’t see some _41__soon, we would lose everything. It was on this day that I learned the true lesson of _42__and saw the only miracle ( 奇跡 )I had seen with my own eyes.

I was in the _43__making lunch when I saw my 6-year –old son, Billy, walking toward the woods. He disappeared into the woods, but minutes later, he came running out again_44_the house.

 I went back to make sandwiches, think about the task he had done. Moments later ,however, he was once again walking toward the woods .This ___45_ for an hour—walked carefully to the woods and ran back to the house.

 Finally I couldn’t wait any longer and I walked out of the house and followed him_46__.Then I saw the most _47__ thing. Several big deer stood in front of him. Billy walked right up to him. And I saw a baby deer_48_ on the ground, clearly suffering from dehydration( 遭受脫水)and the heat. It lifted its_49__with great effort to lap up （舔）the water cupped in my beautiful boy’s hands.

 When the water was gone, Billy jumped back and ran back to the house. I __50_ him back to a spigot (龍頭  ) that we had shut off the water to. Billy opened it all the way up and very little __51_ came out .He knelt( 跪下 )there ,letting the water slowly fill up his ___52__. When he stood up and began to run back, I was there in front of him. His little eyes __53_with tears.

 “I’m not _54__”, he was crying.

 As the tears from my eyes began to hit the ground, they were suddenly __55__by other drops … more drops … and more

 All I could say is that the rain that came that day saved our farm… just like the actions of one little boy saved the deer.
