People Just Like Us I was not interested in the school project on ancient cultures at all, especially things about Egypt (埃 及) , but Grace, my research partner, insisted the ancient Egyptians were interesting, and said I would 13 my mind for sure.
“Learning about these ancient people is so boring.” I said. “It’s not! Don’t be sure until you’ve learned about them.” said Grace.
I had to say Grace had a 14 . So the next Saturday, I found myself at the Museum of Natural History, which had a big show on ancient Egypt.
“So ancient Egyptians were pretty undeveloped, right?” I asked Grace as we waited in line for our tickets. “I mean, they didn’t have much 15 , did they? Well, except for the pyramids (金字塔) – didn’t the Egyptian kings live in the pyramids?”
Grace just kept silent and pushed me forward. The show set me straight about the pyramids. I learned that they were tombs (墓) of the ancient kings, not their 16 . I also found out the great pyramid at Giza was huge, standing 500 feet tall when it was first built!
As I walked farther, I was 17 to find a show on ancient sports. I saw paintings showing people playing a game with a ball. Just for a moment, I could 18 ancient Egyptian kids beside the Nile River hitting around a ball, just as I do with my friends. And the next show was all about how the ancient Egyptians treasured their children. A child was considered a great gift to the family. “So what do you think of these 19 ancient people now?” Grace asked. “You were right,” I said. “Ancient Egyptians are much more interesting than I know just what title to give our project.

She even used to go for walks alone from her home once a day for exercise and fresh air, and found her way by 13 things with her white stick. She learnt where everything was, so she never lost her way. But then one day some men came and cut down some trees at the side of the road which she followed. When she reached that place that evening, she didn’t feel the trees with her stick, so she was in 14 .
She stopped for a minute and 15 , but she didn’t hear any other people, so she went ahead for a kilometer or two, and then she heard water under her.
“Water?” she said aloud, and stopped. “Am I 16 ? I suppose so. I must be on a bridge, and there must be a river under me. I’ve been told that there’s a river in this part of the country. But I don’t know its exact position(位置). How am I going back to my home from here?”
All at once she heard a young man’s friendly 17 near her. It said, “Excuse me, can I help you?” “How kind of you!” Mrs. Wettiner answered 18 . “Yes, please. I’m lost. Some of the trees which I follow when I go for my evening walk have been removed today, and if I hadn’t been lucky enough to come across you, I don’t know what I’d have done. Can you please help me to get home?” “Certainly,” the man answered. “Where do you live?”
Mrs. Wettiner told him, and they began walking. The man took Mrs. Wettiner to her home, and she 19 him in and gave him some coffee and a piece of cake. She told the man how 20 she was that she had met him.
“Don’t thank me,” the young man said. “I want to thank you. I was trying to make up my mind into the river. But I’m not going to do it now.” 13. A. reading 14. A. difficulty 15. A. rested 16. A. tired 17. A. voice 18. A. proudly

A Faithful Father
My husband kissed the baby’s cheek, and hugged me goodbye, then rushed out of the door, into his busy day.
I stayed seated, thinking, with the baby in my arms. The 13 ran into memories of the mornings with my husband rushing out of the door to meet the responsibility of life. It was only a small jump to thoughts of my own 14 .
My father brought me up alone. As I looked 15 I could see how much of a family man my dad was. He went to work every morning and returned home every evening. He provided food, clothing, warmth, and protection. He was a faithful father.
Setting the baby down, I telephoned my father. I had just 16 the importance of the daily life going on around us, and that it needed to be recognized.
“Hi, Dad.”I said, 17back tears. “Hey, Bud. How are you?” worry was in his voice.
“Fine, I’m just calling to say … thank you.” I got it out before I cried. “What for?”
“For getting up and going to work every morning of my life. Now that I have my own childand I see my husband doing the same, I just wanted to thank you for being faithful.”
There was 18 for a moment, and with a small tremble(颤抖) in his voice he said, “You’re welcome, Bud.”
