Monica grew up under the care of her grandparents, whom she missed much after their passing. She especially missed the happy times when her grandfather played the guitar for her. After graduating, she joined a caregiving organization because she didn’t want to feel lonely.
“Miss Monica! You have to go to a senior’s on 11th Street and…” her manager told her one day. Monica was excited because she loved taking care of old people. Moments later, Monica arrived at her destination. The door was open. “Hello, anyone there ” she shouted. But there was no answer. She walked further. “Is there anybody home ” She saw an old man sitting in an armchair. She stood behind him, but he wasn’t aware of anything. His eyes were fixed on the TV, and there was a blank expression on his face.
“H-hello, sir! I’m Monica, your new caretaker,” she raised her voice. The man got up immediately and turned around. “Well, hello, Miss…” he paused. “Monica!” “Nice to see you, Miss Monica! Please have a seat,” the man told her. “I’m Charles!” He looked happy but lost.
Monica sat down and observed many medicines. “Alzheimer’s(阿尔茨海默症) drugs ” She was shocked. She realized the man had Alzheimer’s disease, so she decided to be extra careful with the care. Monica told him she would be taking care of all household chores(家务). Old Charles invited her to tour the house delightedly.
After checking the kitchen and dining room, Monica went upstairs to the man’s room and found several old photographs hanging on the wall. As she admired each one, she froze upon seeing a particular picture. “Amazing!”she said, staring at the picture of young Charles playing the piano in a large concert hall. “Was he a musician or something ” Monica hurried downstairs to ask him to tell her about his youth. But to her disbelief, Charles couldn’t recognize her. “Who are you and why are you here ” he asked. Thinking of his disease, Monica explained again. The old man calmed down and slept while Monica prepared dinner. With everything finished, she left a note reading “See you tomorrow at 9 am” and went home.

Shama was sitting in the bedroom which she shared with her sister Dolly, watching the goldfish Peepy in the glass bowl. The goldfish swam round and round. For a while Shama did nothing except stare at it. The fish looked sad, Shama thought. It seemed unhappy being in the small bowl.
Just then she heard her mother call her and her sister Dolly for breakfast. Shama said to her mother. “It’s Sunday today.I want to go to the lake. We go there on every Sunday.”
“We can’t go today, dear. A storm is coming. It’s dangerous.” Mom was always like that, concerned about safety of her kids. Shama made a face. Breakfast was over. Shama watched her mother washing the dishes. She loved the rushing sound of water. That was why she loved the lake too.
Mom said she didn’t feel well and wanted to have a sleep. She had gone to her bedroom.
“Shama,” Dolly whispered, leaning as close to Shama as possible. “Let’s go.”
“Where ”
“To the lake, where else ” This was a surprise for Shama. It was a daring suggestion.
“Mom doesn’t want us. There’s a storm coming.” Shama said in a whisper.
“No, there isn’t. Mom just doesn’t want us to go. Let her be fast asleep; then we’ll tiptoe out.” Hearing that, Shama’s face broke into a smile.
“Are you sure Mom will be mad if we get caught.”
“We’ll come back in time. Mom ‘sleeps tight.” Dolly, gave a naughty smile.
It would be an adventure that both of them would slip out. It was a really exciting idea. Shama had never done such a thing. before.
But the fact was that the door was locked by Mom. Dolly ran towards the window. The window wasn’t locked. She smiled and said,“That’s great!”

When things went wrong, Ittleby Fein always had something nice to say.
When Dad forgot about the pizza and it burned, Ittleby said, “Don’t worry. It’ll still taste good.” And he was right. The pizza edges were dark and crispy (酥脆的), but the middle wasn’t half bad.
When Ittleby’s friend David got a low score on the spelling test, Ittleby said, “You’ll do better next time.” And, sure enough, David studied harder and got a perfect score the next week.
When his teacher, Mr. D, bumped into a book stand in the library, Ittleby said, “Don’t worry. The librarian won’t be upset.” He was right. The librarian just laughed and helped pick up the books.
Ittleby looked on the bright side. And everyone liked that about him. Everyone except Hazel.
Hazel was the new kid in the class. On her first day, Ittleby said, “Nice to meet you, Hazel. I think you’ll like it here.” Hazel stared at him and said, “I doubt it.”
When Mr. D said they’d have recess(课间休息) inside because of the rain, Ittleby said, “Every cloud has a silver lining.” But Hazel shook her head saying, “Clouds are white. Maybe gray. Where do you get this stuff ” Then outside the window, the clouds had rolled over the sun. The room felt darker.
“Bad things come in threes.” said Hazel. “No outdoor recess is number one. What will the second thing be ”
The class didn’t have to wait long to find out.
Greta was carrying a tray of paints during art class. She fell over, and paints went flying. There was blue on the floor and red and black on the walls. Hazel turned to Ittleby. “That is the second bad thing. What will the third be ” she said. Ittleby didn’t know what to say. Hazel seemed so sure about the Rule of Three Bad Things.
Then Emma came to look at Ittleby’ s painting. “It’s beautiful,” she said. She picked it up, not realizing she had paints on her fingers. Hazel pointed and said,“Ittleby’ s picture is messed up! There’s number three.”

One of my leachers once asked my class what our favorite memory was. My leacher asked for the moment in which “you fell the best; you fell that you had the world in the palms of your hand.” Some described amazing awards; other described winning a tournament. My answer, however, invited giggles and hesitant smiles. Why Because I felt the best when I first learned how to ride my bike at thirteen. I didn’t mind my classmates’ stares and mockery, because I knew there was more to the story.
My elder sister and I shared a typical sisterly relationship: we couldn’t stand each other. I was an annoyance to her. Any sort of conversation we had usually ended up fighting. Gradually, I started to learn to be totally indifferent; perhaps the silent treatment would get more approval. I was wrong. We soon fell into a sad pattern. I avoided her, and she ignored me. Deep inside, it hurt. So that was how it was between us. She was only a sister in name. I truly believed that we would forever be apart, two housemates without conversation, two strangers without warmth.
I still remember the day I learned to ride a bike. I had received the bike that Christmas, which was great, until I realized that I had no idea how to ride it. My mom had long abandoned any attempt to teach me. I had proven to be a frustrating student. I took it upon myself to learn, a little bit each day. It was no different. I was coming to the end of my daily one-hour torture(折磨). I was so frustrated that I threw my bike aside and began to cry.

For the most part, Hank, a two-year-old tan-and-white rescue cat, is a homebody - and for good reason. The one time he got out his yard in Washington. DC, he managed to get stuck in a 12-metre-tall tree for two days with no food or water.
Hank’s big adventure started last November 6. Delores Bushong his 75-year-old owner, had just returned from a farmers market when she realized Hank hadn’t come in for his midday snack. She called his name in alleys and streets around her home. As it got dark, she began to worry. Then she heard mewling, looked up and spotted Hank, seated on a branch near the top of a neighbor’s tree.
Bushong believes Hank got under a fence and then became scared by some dogs. The more scared he got, the higher he climbed.
“Cats have an amazing ability to climb up trees, but actually they aren’t that good at climbing down,” said Dan Eramo, director of field services for the Humane Rescue Alliance (HRA).
Bushong, now worried about getting Hank down, asked the HRA to take the lead, but it was no easy task. HRA called the fire department, but it refused to help, citing safety concerns. Then Bushong called a construction company to ask about renting scaffolding(脚手架) but was told she would have to book the equipment 48 days in advance.
Next she reached out of a local tree company, Casey Trees, where volunteers helping with planting and trimming. But the crew that came out analyzed Hank’s predicament(困境)and said it wasn’t safe for a person to go up into the tree because the branches weren’t strong.
Bushong was quite upset. “To realize something you love is in trouble and you personally can’t do anything about it is very frustrating,” she said.
Paragraph1. Seeing this, the neighbors came to Hank’s rescue.

Paragraph2. Once on the ground, Bushong picked Hank into her arms holding him close.

It was the worst day ever and I'll never forget it. The day began as usual. My husband, Alan, entered his office in our home and participated in conference calls. In the kitchen, I could hear him speaking on the phone to his boss. Suddenly, I heard some words that were absolutely alarming.
When he exited his office moments later, my fears were confirmed- Alan had been laid off. I hugged him as my heart sank, and my mind raced: What were we going to do with his unemployment Would we lose our house if we couldn't afford to pay for it
“We'll be fine,” he said.
“I know," I responded.
But, frankly, neither of us was very convincing. I wanted to be in bed with covers over my head, but I had to make my way to work. It was an hour into my shift before I received a call from the doctor. I had noticed some strange lumps in my neck, and he'd been performing tests to determine the cause
“You have cancer,” he stated. I distinctly remember my response: “What ” I must have misheard. It sounded like he said I had cancer, but that was completely ridiculous. I had always been healthy and cancer was out of the question. The doctor repeated those terrible words. It was true: Cancer was in my body. He went on discussing future treatment plans and appointments, I think. I really wasn't listening anymore.
As I drove home, I thought about how wonderful things had been up until this day. Now it's time to pay back for all those amazing years. I prepared myself for a hopeless future, or no future at all.
Alan hugged me when I arrived home, and I cried as he held me tight. “Someday in the future, we're going to write about today,” he whispered in my ear, “and we'll call it Worst Day Ever. ”

A cold winter, four years ago, my mother’s birthday was approaching. She was turning fifty years old. My mom did not ask for much but she wanted to spend quality time with the family on her birthday. My dad on the other hand had another idea in mind. He decided to throw her a surprise birthday party, but my mother hated surprises. No one knew how this would turn out. The outcome could be great or a great fail.
My parents have six children, including me. Five of us were in America and one of my brothers was in Ghana. My dad thought that if all the children spoke at her party in our language which is called Ashanti (阿散蒂语) then that would make the party extraordinary. When my father first explained his idea, I realized that I would have to speak as well. At that time I was an extremely shy person, especially in front of crowds. My dad gave us the option to go up to the stage and speak. He mostly wanted me to speak, because I was the youngest and he thought it would be great.
The next day when my mother went to work, I pulled my dad aside to talk to him and tell him that I would love to speak at my mother’s party. I could tell that he was crazy about the decision I made. My father and I agreed that he would help me write my speech in Ashanti. I was excited and anxious at the same time, but I knew too much worry was not going to help. I knew I had no choice if I wanted to impress my mother. All I could think about was the smile my mom would have on her face when I spoke. We practiced hard daily to memorize the speech better. My dad and my brothers were out for a whole day, preparing for the recreational center, where the party would be held. We were a little tired but we thought it was worth doing so.

A young boy loved football with all his heart. But being half the size of the other boys, he got absolutely nowhere. At all the games, he hardly ever played. This teenager lived alone with his father. Even though the son was always on the bench during games, his father was always in the stands(看台)cheering.
This young man was still the smallest of the class when he entered high school. His father continued to encourage him. The young man was determined to try his best at every practice, and perhaps he’d get to play when he became a senior. All through high school he never missed a practice or a game, but remained a bench-warmer all four years.
His father was always in the stands, always with words of encouragement for him. This persistent young athlete never missed practice. but he never got to play in a game. It was the end of his senior football season, and as he was practising for the game on Saturday, the coach met him with a telegram. The young man read the telegram and became completely silent. Struggling to speak, he said to the coach, “My father died this morning. Is it all right if I miss practice today’’
The coach put his arm gently around his shoulder and said, “Take the rest of the week off, son. And don’t even plan to come back to the game on Saturday.’’ Saturday arrived, and the game was not going well. When the team was ten points behind, a silent young man quietly slipped into the empty locker room and put on his football uniform. As he ran onto the sidelines, the coach and his players were surprised to see their faithful teammate back so soon.

9.Sue and Johnsy had their art studio in Greenwich Village.In November,an unknown disease struck this village and Johnsy was seriously sick with it. The doctor took Sue aside and claimed, “She has one chance in ten. And that chance is for her to want to live.”
Sue came into Johnsy’s room, only to find Johnsy’s eyes were open, but they weren’t watching her.Instead,she stared out the window and counted backwards: “Ten, nine, eight, seven... ”
“What are you counting, dear ” asked Sue. “They’re falling faster now,” replied Johnsy. “Three days ago there were almost a hundred. But now there are only five left. When the last one falls, I must go, too. Didn’t the doctor tell you ”
“Oh, I never heard of such nonsense. Now, try to take some broth(肉汤),and let yourself relax,” quickly replied Sue. But Johnsy’s mind was made up. “I don’t want any broth. I just want to see the last leaf fall.”
“Try to sleep,” said Sue. Then she went to fetch her neighbour Mr Behrman, a failed painter, to be a model for her drawing. In 40 years he had never produced the masterpiece he longed to paint. Sue told him about Johnsy’s longing to slip away like the leaves. Behrman cried with disbelief, “Such a foolish idea! This is not a place in which Miss Johnsy shall lie sick. Someday I will create a masterpiece, and we shall all go away.”
Behrman and Sue looked out of the window at the vine(藤蔓)and noticed that there was just one remaining leaf. Then they looked at each other for a moment without speaking as if thinking of something artistic. What’s more, a cold rain was falling, mixed with snow.
The next morning, Johnsy woke and asked for the curtains to be opened. One leaf remained on the vine, bravely holding on in the wind and rain. ‘‘It will fall today, for sure. And I will die with it.
That day in the afternoon, the doctor came, not for Johnsy, but for Mr Behrman, who was found lying in bed helplessly with pain, his shoes and clothing wet through and icy cold, and some brushes, paints, a lantern and a ladder on the ground.
The following day, Johnsy commanded that the curtain be raised again.

After Behrman’s funeral, Sue came to Johnsy who was sipping her soup, and said,“I have something to tell you.”

The Wiggles, my girl Nayvah’s favorite show, played on the TV, she screamed out in excitement and started dancing along to the songs. Little Nayvah, nearly two, has a big personality and sense of curiosity!
A week later, me, Nayvah and my son, Leo, four, headed over to my friend Kacie’s place —— a ten-minute drive from our house.
My babies were excited to play with Kacie’s children Tyler, ten, and Nevaeh, eight. While the kids played, Kacie and I chatted in the backyard. As we talked, Kacie took the grate (炉排) off the drain (排水沟) that was next to the back door and poured some drain cleaner down it. “We’ve had blocked drains,” she said.
Hours later, as the sun began to set, I sat with the kids in the backyard while Kacie cooked carbonara for dinner. “Sammy! Can you come here and taste the sauce ” Kacie called out. The kids were happily playing, so I ducked inside. Less than a minute later, after trying the sauce, I went back out.
That’s when I saw Nayvah with her left leg stuck in the drain. My girl didn’t seem upset and, at first, I thought it was quite cute. “Kacie! Kids! Look at this!” I shouted out. “Oh no! I forgot to put the grate back on,” said Kacie. We all let out a little laugh, and Kacie and I tried to gently pull Nayvah out.
But her ankle was completely stuck. My heart sank. “Kacie, call Triple-0!” I said. I lay down next to Nayvah — who was still calm — and told her everything was going to be okay. “I’m here, Nay Nay Nay,” I comforted her.
When two fire trucks and an ambulance soon arrived, I burst into tears. It felt so serious. The firemen tried a few techniques to pull her out. Nothing worked. One fireman, named Shamus, decided to entertain my little girl to keep her calm.

4.Possible version:
I guess that was what caused my sister to come outside. At first, I was skeptical and tense, as I assumed that she would begin to tease me or at least burst out laughing. However, she did neither. I hunched my shoulders forward and turned my face away, tears trickling down my cheeks. She gently picked my bike up, uttering in a reassuring tone, “I can teach you how to ride.” Dumbstruck, I raised my head and stared at her in stunned silence. Next hours saw my sister steadily hold my bike when my feel faltered. She never once let me fall, patiently teaching me how to ride a bike.
“I made it,” I exclaimed with delight. A ripple of happiness bubbled up in my heart. I turned around, beaming a warm smile at my sister. She gave me an approving nod, eyes gleaming with amusement. That was the day I had a taste of what real sisterly intimacy could be like. For three hours, three wonderful, blissful hours, we learned to ride a bike, which was the perfect harmony I had longed for. We still occasionally have our random spats and bitter rivalries, but since that day, it has been easier to get along because I know my sister will be there for me when I need her.

6.We cheered ourselves up and stopped feeling sorry. Alan began calling everyone he could think of with possible connections in his industry. He tirelessly applied and interviewed for dozens of positions. At the same time, we managed to find a brilliant physician who immediately began to perform thorough scans and other tests to determine the stage and severity of my cancer. Time dragging on, our anxiety was high, but we kept our heads up and always looked forward.
All the efforts eventually paid off. Within several months, Alan landed a position at an emerging restaurant chain, with excellent pay and terrific benefits. Better still, my physician completed her tests, and the results were more than encouraging. She concluded that my cancer was manageable and not as aggressive as other forms, and I would most likely survive it. As the first anniversary of Worst Day Ever, Alan and I decided to celebrate it every year as a reminder of the optimism and determination it took for our survival. It is true that hope makes sense of our past and creates a vision for tomorrow.

9.Possible Version I
The following day, Johnsy commanded that the curtain be raised again. Miraculously, the leaf was still there, clinging to its stem against the wall, like a strong-willed soldier holding his arms. Staring at the scene for a while, Johnsy turned to Sue and said in a soft voice, “I’ve been a silly girl, Sue. It is definitely a crime to want to die. Now, could you bring me a little broth, and help me sit up.” At this, a flicker of a smile crossed Sue’s face, as she knew inside the embers of hope, the fire of life had been rekindled. “Of course, dear, ” responded Sue with great relief. With a strong desire for life and careful nursing, Johnsy was on the road to recovery. MrBehrman, however, failed in the fight against the disease which claimed his life mercilessly.
After Behrman’s funeral,Sue came to Johnsy who was sipping her soup, and said, “I have something to tell you.” Seated on the bed, Johnsy listened to her attentively. “Mr Behrman died for art and also for you, dear.” Sue paused for a moment, eyes moist with tears. “Look out of the window at the last leaf. Didn’t you wonder why it never fluttered or moved when the wind blew Ah, dear, it’s Behrman’s last masterpiece. He painted it there the night when the last leaf fell.” Upon hearing this, Johnsy felt as if she were struck by a sudden thunder, too shocked and moved to utter a single word. It didn’t occur to her that in an attempt to cheer her up, Mr Behrman had created such an amazing piece of art at the cost his own life. She decided at that moment that she would cherish and live her life to the utmost and embrace this world with kindness and gratitude.
Possible Version 2
The following day,Johnsy commanded-that the curtain be raised again. Everything outside was bathed in the warm sunshine and the remaining leaf on the wine seemed quite mesmerizing with its dreamlike bright color. “It is still there! ” exclaimed Johnsy with amazement. Noticing her surprised look, Sue confirmed, “Indeed, it didn’t fall after such a violent storm, so never should you give up the hope of recovery! ” Staring at the last leaf, Johnsy felt a gleam of hope flaring up inside her heart, clear and dazzling. Then, she didn’t lie lifeless in bed any more, but sat up and asked Sue for some food. “Never give up!” Johnsy murmured to herself with great courage and determination.
After Behrman’s funeral, Sue came to Johnsy who was sipping her soup, and said, “I have something to tell you.” Seeing a sense of sheer confusion flashing across Johnsy’s eyes, Sue started, “The leaf left on the vine doesn’t fall as it’s a fake l painted by Mr Behrman and me when the last leaf fell during the stormy night. Mr Behrman came up with this brilliant and risky idea and we carried it out together. He created his only masterpiece to give you hope at the price of his life.” Johnsy froze there, overwhelmed by tremendous shock mingled with a feeling of guilt and gratitude. What she realized was that being exposed to the storm that night worsened Behrman’s illness, which led to his death. Outside on the vine, the last leaf appeared so realistic and artistic, standing still tenaciously, like a tiny sliver light in the darkness of Johnsy’s life.
