Keeping back my tears, I walked towards Ronny, placed my hand on his shoulder and asked, “Will you read me your book, Ronny？” And then, for the next few minutes, he read to me more __27__ than I'd ever thought possible for him. The pages were already dog－eared(卷角的), like the book had been read thousands of __28__ already. When he finished reading, Ronny closed his book and said with great satisfaction(满意), “__29__ book！”
What a powerful contribution the writer of that Little Golden Book had made to the life of a disadvantaged child.

On the first day of school our teacher introduced himself and challenged us to get to know someone we didn't already know. I stood up to look around when a gentle hand touched my shoulder.
I turned around and found a little old lady with a warm smile. She said, “Hi, handsome. My name is Rose. I'm eighty－seven years old.”
“Why are you in university at such a YOUNG age？” I asked. She replied, “I'm here to meet a rich husband, get married, have a couple of kids, and then retire and travel.”
I knew she was joking. I was curious(好奇的) what might have encouraged her to be taking on this challenge at her age.

Taking a deep breath, she pushed open the door of the theater and went inside. The room was filled with laughing children. Nina saw Luz, James and others from her class. The bright, sunny room left her no place to hide. A few teachers sat on chairs. They waited for the children to become quiet.
“Hi, Nina！” Luz called out. “I didn't think you would try out for the show. You are so timid(胆怯的) in front of people.”
“That's not true，” Nina said. “I'm not shy at all.”
“Yeah, right，” Luz chuckled(轻声地笑) and ran off to find a seat.
One by one the students got up on the stage(舞台) and did their acts.
“Nina Martinez！” a voice called out. It was Mrs Brent, the music teacher. Nina rose from her chair. She felt small as she walked to the huge, empty stage. Her face was hot and her shaking hands were as cold as ice.
“I－I－” Nina began, and then stopped. “I can't，” she said softly.
“Close your eyes，” said Mrs Brent gently. “Forget about everyone else. Just sing.”
Nina felt silly, but she gave it a try. She closed her eyes and raised her voice and sang out. Her hands stopped shaking. The song was so nice that everybody enjoyed it.

Mistakes can teach you something important. Success comes to you if you are willing to risk making mistakes. You may achieve your goals and wishes, and you can also learn from those mistakes. And in order to learn from mistakes, you must be willing to pay for them.
Mistakes can be of great value, but when you try to get others to pay for your mistakes, then you will lose the chance to learn from them. When something goes wrong, it's usually very easy to find someone else's mistakes, but that is not useful.
Much of the value of mistakes comes from the fact that they need a cost that must be paid. The person who learns the most from a mistake is the one who pays the price for that mistake.
When you make a mistake, what you shouldn't do is to run away from it. You need to accept it because you can learn a lot from it. The mistake has been made, so make the most of it. Pay the price, learn the lesson, and you will grow much stronger.
After you make a mistake, don't look back at it long. Remember the reason for it, and then look forward. Mistakes are lessons of wisdom. The past cannot be changed. The present is still in your power. Make full use of your mistakes to achieve your goals and wishes.
根据文章内容填空。
71. You may have succeeded if you are not afraid of ________________. And in order to ________ mistakes, you must be willing to pay for them.
72. When you make mistakes, just ________________ and never run ________________ them. Don't get others to pay for your mistakes.
73. Mistakes are of ________________. You can learn a lot from mistakes and grow stronger by ________________ the price for them.

Ronny's Book
Ronny looked like every other kid in the first－grade classroom where I volunteered as the Reading Mom. However, Ronny was different from his classmates in other ways. He had a speech problem so he couldn't __16__ like other kids in his grade.
I worked with all the students in Ronny's class one by one to improve their reading skills. On the days when it was Ronny's __17__， I'd give him a silent smile, and he'd fly out of his chair. He sat very close to me and opened the book __18__ he was opening a treasure nobody had ever seen.

Tears(眼泪) ran down his face as he held the book close to him and went __23__ to his seat. I stayed with the class for the rest of the day. Ronny never let go of(放开) the __24__， not once. It never left his hands.
A few days later, I returned to the school to visit. I __25__ Ronny sitting on a chair near the playground, the book open in his lap. His teacher said, “He hasn't put that book down since you gave it to him. Do you know that's his __26__ book that he's ever actually owned？”
Keeping back my tears, I walked towards Ronny, placed my hand on his shoulder and asked, “Will you read me your book, Ronny？” And then, for the next few minutes, he read to me more __27__ than I'd ever thought possible for him. The pages were already dog－eared(卷角的), like the book had been read thousands of __28__ already. When he finished reading, Ronny closed his book and said with great satisfaction(满意), “__29__ book！”
What a powerful contribution the writer of that Little Golden Book had made to the life of a disadvantaged child. At that moment, I knew I would become __30__ about my own writing and do what that writer had done, and probably still does—care enough to write a story that changes a child's life, care enough to make a difference.

On the first day of school our teacher introduced himself and challenged us to get to know someone we didn't already know. I stood up to look around when a gentle hand touched my shoulder.

Taking a deep breath, she pushed open the door of the theater and went inside. The room was filled with laughing children. Nina saw Luz, James and others from her class. The bright, sunny room left her no place to hide. A few teachers sat on chairs. They waited for the children to become quiet.

“That's not true，” Nina said. “I'm not shy at all.”
“Yeah, right，” Luz chuckled(轻声地笑) and ran off to find a seat.
One by one the students got up on the stage(舞台) and did their acts.
“Nina Martinez！” a voice called out. It was Mrs Brent, the music teacher. Nina rose from her chair. She felt small as she walked to the huge, empty stage. Her face was hot and her shaking hands were as cold as ice.
“I－I－” Nina began, and then stopped. “I can't，” she said softly.
“Close your eyes，” said Mrs Brent gently. “Forget about everyone else. Just sing.”
Nina felt silly, but she gave it a try. She closed her eyes and raised her voice and sang out. Her hands stopped shaking. The song was so nice that everybody enjoyed it.

Mistakes can teach you something important. Success comes to you if you are willing to risk making mistakes. You may achieve your goals and wishes, and you can also learn from those mistakes. And in order to learn from mistakes, you must be willing to pay for them.
Mistakes can be of great value, but when you try to get others to pay for your mistakes, then you will lose the chance to learn from them. When something goes wrong, it's usually very easy to find someone else's mistakes, but that is not useful.
Much of the value of mistakes comes from the fact that they need a cost that must be paid. The person who learns the most from a mistake is the one who pays the price for that mistake.
When you make a mistake, what you shouldn't do is to run away from it. You need to accept it because you can learn a lot from it. The mistake has been made, so make the most of it. Pay the price, learn the lesson, and you will grow much stronger.
After you make a mistake, don't look back at it long. Remember the reason for it, and then look forward. Mistakes are lessons of wisdom. The past cannot be changed. The present is still in your power. Make full use of your mistakes to achieve your goals and wishes.
根据文章内容填空。
71. You may have succeeded if you are not afraid of ________________. And in order to ________ mistakes, you must be willing to pay for them.
