Many years ago three soldiers, hungry and tired, came to a small village. The villagers, suffering a(n)
__1__
harvest and many years of war, quickly hid their food and met them at the village square. They wringed(搓) their hands and
__2__
how little their food was.
The soldiers spoke quietly among themselves and the first soldier then turned to the village elders. “Your tired fields have left you nothing to

Naturally the villagers felt

and soon a fire was put to the town’s greatest kettle(锅) as the soldiers

three smooth stones. “Now this will be a fine soup”， said the second soldier; “but some salt and parsley(欧芹) would make it
__6__
！” A villager jumped up, crying “What
__7__！ I’ve just remembered that there are still some left at my home！” And she ran off, returning with some salt and parsley. As the kettle boiled on, the
__8__
of the village improved: soon carrots, beef and cream had
__9__
their way into the great kettle.
They ate and danced and sang well into the night. They were pleased with the feast(盛宴) and their newfound friends. In the morning the three soldiers
__10__
to find the entire village standing before them. At their feet lay a bag of the village’s best breads and cheese. “You’ve given us the greatest
__11__
: the secret of how to make soup from stones，” said an elder, “and we shall never
__12__
it.” The third soldier turned to the crowd, and said: “There is no secret, but this is

Last Sunday, I walked into the house in the afternoon to find my brother scurrying(急赶) around in a hurry. As
__13__
as I had taken my coat off, he placed a bunch of papers in my hands and asked if I could start folding them up as quickly as possible, so they could
__14__
an envelope. He said it needed to get done quickly before it turned dark.
I
__15__
it was probably something for his business and just got right to it, though I was a little
__16__
that something could be so urgent on a Sunday. It wasn’t until I was halfway through that I actually
__17__
what I was folding. I found that it was a lovely letter to all the residents of my street and the nearby streets in my neighborhood. My brother was asking
__18__
to inform him if they needed helping get food, medicine or any other necessities. He left his

information and said that anyone that needed help should get in touch with him and he would figure something out.
Last week London
__20__
an unusual amount of snow and the city was completely underprepared for it. Only the major roads had been

__22__
for some of them, particularly because we live on a hill.
He had a few elderly people get in touch asking for help for things they needed. One of them was especially appreciative
__23__
his carer assistant couldn’t make it. Everyone was really touched by his
__24__
and wrote wonderful emails. One of our neighbors wrote an email to him saying that although she wasn’t able to help, she was “very proud of having such a neighbor who puts other people’s interests first.”

One day, we took turns to tell stories of our most embarrassing moments. Finally, it came around to Frank. Someone said, “
__25__， Frank. Tell us your most embarrassing moment.”
Frank began, “I grew up in San Pedro. My Dad was a fisherman, and he had his own boat, but it was
__26__
to make a living on the sea. He worked hard and would stay out until he caught enough to
__27__
his family.”
Frank’s voice dropped a bit. “
__28__
the weather was bad, he would drive me to school. He would park his car just in front. Then he would lean over and give me a big kiss on the cheek and
__29__
me to be a good boy. It was so embarrassing for me.”
He paused and then went on, “One day, when we got to the school and came to a(n)
__30__， he started to lean toward me

__32__， and he had this
__33__
look on his face.
I said, ‘Dad, I’m too old for a goodbye kiss.’My Dad looked at me for long, and his eyes started to tear up. I had never seen him
__34__ . He turned and looked out. ‘You’re right，’ he said. ‘You’re a big boy…a man. I won’t kiss you any more.’”
For the moment, Frank got a funny look on his face. “Soon after that, my Dad went to sea and
__35__
came back.”
I looked at Frank and saw that tears were running down his cheeks. Frank spoke again. “Guys, I would give
__36__
to have my Dad give me just one more kiss on the cheek. I wish I had been a man then. If I had been a man, I would never have told my Dad I was too old for a goodbye kiss.”

I was standing near a shop with my friend as he lit his cigarette when an old woman beggar approached us. She asked us for one rupee to help her buy lunch but we
__38__. At that moment, one of our friends called us over as our group was at the front of the queue.
We had to hurry so my friend crushed his cigarette with his shoes.

we were hurrying over, I overheard the woman beggar say “these young men will burn more than one rupee for their bad

hurrying over.

in the city and still has to learn how to beg for a rupee for her lunch from the
__46__. She couldn’t arrange a rupee today. I had two; therefore I bought lunch for her out of the money for my dinner.”
