Passage 1
Run Freely-A Lesson About Courage
One afternoon, many years ago, I went to pick up my mother from work. I got there a little early so I
21
the car by the roadside and waited for her.
As I looked
22
the car window, there was a small park where I saw a little boy, around one and a half to two years old,
23
freely on the grass as his mother watched from a short
24 . The boy had a big smile on his face
25
he had just been set free from some sort of
26
. The boy would then fall to the grass,
27
, and without hesitation or without looking back at his mother, run as fast as he could, again, still with a
28
on his face.
Kids, when they fall down, don’t view their falling down as failure, but
29
,they treat it as a learning experience. They try and try again until they
30
. Not only was I touched by the boy’s persistence, but I was
31
touched by the manner in which he ran. With each attempt, he looked so
32
and so natural-no signs of fear, nervousness, or of being discouraged. His only
33
was to run freely and to do it as effectively as he could. He was just being a
34
-just being himself-being completely in the moment. He was not looking for
35
or was not worrying about whether
36
was watching. He wasn't concerned about being judged. He didn't seem to be bothered by the fact that maybe someone would see him
37
and that it would be
38
if he did fall. No, all that
39
to him was to him was to accomplish the task, to feel the experience of running fully and freely. I learned a lot from that
40
and experience, and have successfully brought that lesson with me in my many pursuits in life.

Passage 2
Many years ago, a baby boy came into this world. But
41
, he didn’t come with a cry, which was a big
42
from the medical point of view. The doctor turned the baby
43
and slapped his bottom sharply. The baby cried and
44
. The father smiled and silently cried
45
. He held the baby in his arms and didn’t allow the doctor to touch the baby anymore... That baby was me, and that man was my dad.
Dad never tried to hug or kiss me when I was a child. And
46
, he never said “I love you” to me, either. Maybe it’s a Chinese cultural thing, or maybe that’s the way my dad was. But
47
I felt defeated, sad or lonely, dad was always there. He was a man of
48
words, but I could always feel a very special
49
to him.
When I was in high school, dad retired and
50
a food stand on the street near my school. Every day when I finished
51
, my classmates and I
52
pass his food stand. But I really hated talking to dad in front of his food stand,
53
I did not want my classmates to know that my dad was selling noodles on the street!
One night, I couldn’t
54
it any more and shouted, “Dad, could you stop selling your
55
noodles? I don’t need a father who sells noodles on the street!” At that moment, dad was
56
. He tried to say something but didn’t. When he turned his head
57
, something happened that I had never seen and would never forget for
58
of my life. His eyes were filled with tears and sadness. It was the first time that I saw dad
59
. My mom later told me that dad was selling noodles to save money for my college education. I was such an idiot, and even today I still feel
60
for that night.

Passage 3
Did you hear the sports story that came out of Greece a few years ago? No, it wasn’t from the country that started the Olympics,
21
it has an Olympic quality. The story came out of Greece, New York, and it was about Jason McElwain, a 17-year-old autistic(自闭的) kid, and Jim Johnson, a high school basketball
22
.
Jason,who didn’t speak until he was five and always
23
with learning challenges, was
24
for a basketball player, only five foot six. In fact, he never
25
the team. He was the team manager, who kept statistics and handed out water bottles.
But Coach Johnson
26
Jason’s enthusiasm for the game and his unselfish dedication to the team. So he decided if the score
27
, he might let him
28
a few minutes.
Word got around and a group of students came to the game with signs
29
his nickname, “J-Mac,” and cutouts of his face placed on popsicle(冰棒)sticks.
When Jason was put into the game with four minutes left, they
30
wildly hoping that he might even
31
a basket. In Hollywood, he would have done just that, and his teammates would have
32
him off on their shoulders. But in the
33
world of Greece, New York, Jason took a
34
and missed by about six feet. His supporters
35
and the coach worried that he may have set this young man up for
36
.
But J-Mac
37
another shot, and another, and another.
38
he took 10 shots, and scored 20 points in his four minutes of
39
.
And, yes, he was carried off on the shoulders of his teammates. And it was the career high point in the life of a coach who just gave a good kid a(n)

Passage It was one of the happiest Saturday mornings I had spent with my daughter, Gigi. That was, until two strangers threw her into their car and sped away. It seemed like a bad dream. I could __21__ speak when the police questioned me.
After that, the policeman asked me to go home to wait. My friend Gloria came to
__22__me. She took my hand and gave me
__23__. It was a picture of a little girl
__24__asleep in her bed, standing by the bed was a tall, blond(金发的)__25__.
We prayed and waited by the phone until sunset. The __26__ never rang.
Suddenly,the front door swung open. I looked up and __27__. There stood Gigi. I cried, throwing my __28__ around her. Gigi said:“I was scared. We were going really fast on an old __29__ road I'd never seen before. But then a tall man walked out __30__ the car,and they ran off the road and hit a tree. Then the tall man __31__ the car door and pulled me out. He was really nice,and said I would be okay. I must have gone to __32__, because when I woke up it is in front of our house. He must have brought me home.” “But who...how did he know..., where to bring you?”My voice broke. Gigi __33__ her head. Just then Gigi noticed Gloria's picture. “That's him!” she __34__ at the picture. “Mommy,that's the man who pulled me out of the car!” Gloria and I turned __35__. “Are you sure that's the man?” Gloria asked. “Yeah, that's him __36__ that he didn't have wings,and he was wearing blue jeans.”
Later that night, the police found the__37__kidnappers. When questioned, the driver remembered turning away to __38__ hitting a tall blond man.
Twenty years have gone by. We have never heard from any one claiming to have
__39__Gigi. There have been no logical explanations for her __40__. But from that day on, I believe that all experiences, positive and negative, are given to us for our strengthening and learning.
