Every year on my birthday from the time I turned 12, a white gardenia（栀子花）was sent to my house. But no card or note came with it . Calls to the flower- shop were always    1   .After a while I stopped trying to  2   who the sender is and just  3     the beauty and nice smell of that one magical, perfect white flower lying in 4 pink paper.

But I never stopped  5  who the giver might be. My mother offered to take part in these imaginations . She asked me if there was someone for whom I had done a special 6  who might be showing thanks . I had more fun imagining that might be a boy I fell in love with or one who had 7  me even though I didn’t know him.

But my mother did. She wanted her children to feel 13   , filled with a sense that there was a beauty even in the face of 14   .

It was Monday. Mrs. Smith’s dog was hungry, but there was not any meat in the house. Thinking about that there was no better way， Mrs. Smith took a piece of paper, and wrote the following words on it: “Give my dog half a pound of meat.” Then she gave the paper to her dog and said gently: “Take this to the butcher (屠夫), and he’s going to give you your lunch today.”

Holding the piece of paper in its mouth, the dog ran to the butcher’s. It gave the paper to the butcher. The butcher read it carefully, recognized that it was really the lady’s handwriting and soon did it as he was asked to. The dog was very happy, and ate the meat up at once.

At noon, the dog came to the shop again. It gave the butcher a piece of paper again. After reading it, he gave it half a pound of meat once more.

The next day, the dog came again exactly at noon. And as usual, it brought a piece of paper in the mouth. This time, the butcher did not take a look at paper, and gave the dog its meat, for he had regarded the dog as one of his customers.

But, the dog came again at four o’clock. And the same thing happened once again. To the butcher’s more surprise, it came for the third time at six o’clock, and brought with it a third piece of paper. The butcher felt a bit puzzled. He said to himself, “This is a small dog. Why does Mrs. Smith give it so much meat to eat today?”

3. The butcher did not give any meat to the dog ____.

A. before he felt sure that the words were really written by Mrs. Smith

B. when he found that the words on the paper were not clear

C. because he had sold out all the meat in his shop

    So, my grandfather came to America. "I had thought it was easy to m  3   money in America," he told me. "But when I  a 4  in Los Angeles, I realized it was not true. I couldn't find a good job because I spoke little English. I wanted to go to a language school to learn English, b   5   I couldn't afford it. Later, I worked in a small r 6  , serving the guests, cleaning up the tables, washing the dishes and sweeping the floors. I was s 7   a helpful and honest worker that my boss was pleased with me. I was p   8  with my workmates, too. Life became easier and in the end I entered an evening school to learn English."

My grandfather kept working hard , and finally he r 9   his dream. Things do not come easily in life. That is what I have l  10   from my grandfather.
