I close my eyes and can still hear her — the little girl with a ____61____ so strong and powerful we could hear her halfway down the block. She was a(n) ____62____ peasant who asked for money and ____63____ gave the only thing she had — her voice. I paused outside a small shop and listened. She brought to my mind the ____64____ of Little Orphan Annie. I could not understand the words she ____65____, but her voice begged for ____66____. It stood out from the noises of Arbat Street, pure and impressive, like the chime of a bell. She sang ____67____ an old-style lamp post in the shadow of a building, her arms extended and ____68____ thrown back. She was small and of unremarkable looks. Her brown hair ____69____ the bun (发髻) it had been pulled into, and she occasionally reached up to ______70______ a stray piece from her face. Her clothing I can’t recall. Her voice, on the other hand, is ______71______ imprinted in my mind.

When we walked past her, I gave her money. It was not out of pity ______77______ rather admiration. Her smile of ______78______ did not interrupt her singing. The girl watched us as we walked down the street. I know this because when I looked back she smiled again. We ______79______ that smile, and I knew I could never forget her courage and ______80______ strength.

Elsa Desmond knows she is not going to win a medal at the Beijing Winter Olympics, but she is ____81____ as the first women’s luge(无舵雪橇)Olympian from Ireland. She was the 26th to ____82____ the line in the first run of the women’s race on Monday night, ____83____ than none of the other athletes. However, that did not ____84____ to her and she celebrated with a large smile on her face.
Although she will not win in Beijing, she has already won some ____85____ . She had been given many reasons why she could not compete: she is too short, she did not start ____86____ at a young age, and she could not balance a(n) ____87____ job with competing in a sport. The biggest ____88____ simply might have been that Ireland did not have a luge organization. So, she ____89____ one herself; she had to self-fund.
Now, ____90____ , she is a luge Olympian. “I’m a doctor in general surgery, I have all these really ____91____ challenges, but I think everyone has worked as hard as they can to be here. ”She is expected to return to work on this Friday because she was given some time ____92____ to compete in the Olympics, and now she has ____93____ parts of her job.
Desmond has to balance these two ____94____ jobs—sliding a few months out of the year and living a life in medicine. There was a(n) ____95____ last season when she had to take important medical examinations in hotels in Germany where other sliders from different countries were staying. “I had to stick signs on my door saying ‘Do not disturb, exam in ____96____ , in about six different ____97____ .”
Desmond got the honor of ____98____ her country in Beijing, and being one of two people ____99____ Ireland’s flag during the opening ceremony on Friday. “I don’t think I can ____100____ words how excited I was to lead out the team. I really hope that I make my country proud.”

“WELCOME TO HELL, LADIES!” says Mr. Smith, the ____101____ of the adult ballet class. I force a smile as he presses down on my stiff (僵硬的) back, attempting to be a little more ____102____.
When I was a little girl, I ____103____ elegantly dancing across the stage like the Swan Princess. With several reasons, my hopes of taking ballet lessons were ____104____. But every so often, usually while watching a brilliant performance of Swan Lake, those little ____105____ of unfulfilled desire would speak up and say that I should take lessons before it’s too late.
And here I am - more than 50 years - finally ____106____ for it.
I’m an absolute ____107____, but 30 years older than the rest of the participants in the adult class. We are practising “port de bras,” a ballet term for the ____108____ of the arms. I flutter (挥动) my arms, awakening my inner ____109____. “Your hands, they look like claws of a chicken,” Mr Smith ____110____. “No one wants to look at that. It’s ugly.” He ____111____ his finger at various body parts while ____112____ giving feedback, “Head up, neck long, chest proud, stomach in, back straight, bottom tight.” Every time he looks at me, I instantly know that I’ve missed ____113____. So I take note of every previous____114____ to gain his approval.
After a few sessions, I find myself looking forward to taking ballet classes with a mix of anxiety and excitement. Between classes, I ____115____ my posture (姿势) in every window I pass. I’m ____116____. My hands are less claw-like and my posture a little more ____117____. And I constantly imagine I’m on stage, holding the audience entirely in my ____118____.
Learning ballet as an adult has been a much bigger ____119____ than I expected, but I’m glad that I ____120____ and that ballet still appeals to me as it did when I was a little girl.

I had not hugged a friend or a family member for more than two years until recently when my sister-in-law flew in for a brief visit. For everyone’s safety, we met outside.

Growing up through war in my hometown of Sarajevo, Bosnia, every moment was full of____143____. On one peaceful morning, I had begged my mom to let me go outside. She finally____144____. I was outside for only 10 minutes when I was caught in an explosion. I ran to my neighbor’s house for ____145____ before my legs collapsed.

When he came back, I gave him the biggest hug _____150_____. I was caked in tears as I held him _____151_____. That same night my parents _____152_____ to arrange my escape from our war-torn city. They _____153_____ wanted at least some of my childhood to be normal. I was 16 and came to America on my own. A _____154_____ host family took me in and I began learning English and going to school.

Despite getting on quite well at school, I couldn’t _____156_____ my feelings. The only way I shared how I felt was by giving Oscar a big hug.
Perhaps we have undervalued the_____157_____of a simple hug. As I look back on my past, I _____158_____myself truly lucky to have been held,_____159_____ and encouraged at some of the most key moments of my life by the almost otherworldly (超世俗的) power of a hug.
