Completely __________ his own safety, Languell opened the car’s back door and __________ in. He cut through Thompson’s seat belt using a __________ he’d had the foresight to bring with him.

Although Thompson suffered several breakings to his legs, spine, and face, a social media post __________ him as “looking great, smiling, and joking”. Languell thinks about that day often. Displaying the sort of sympathy that __________ him to help, he explained, “My heart goes out to Thompson. When you are that close to that level of hurt, you feel it so __________.”

Occasionally, I long to be lost in a ''memory meal, '' biting into one of the nostalgic foods I enjoyed as a child. As a vegetarian, some tasty food like fried bacon is no longer my _______, but old memories die hard. One day, after a meal of locally grown organic food, I found myself _______ something fatty, crisp — bacon.

When it was ready, I always slowly took every _______ of the little fatty curls and wanted more. It would be months before the next bacon _______ entered our household.

I had not tasted bacon in years, but the moment I _______ my desire for it, my husband began _______ the grocery stores for the best ''fake bacon'' that could bring us back to the carefree eating of our childhoods. How could he cook that soy(豆制品)so that it would _______ the tatstes of our younger years? __________, Ron did the next morning.

My mother was never a morning person, but she __________ to the cooking occasion when bacon was on the menu. My father would delay half an hour to work and share this __________ luxury with us. Suddenly I realized it didn't matter whether I was eating pork or soy: the __________ themselves were just delicious.
