I was a happy kid until the day I fell down. I ________ on a piece of glass and it cut my eye badly. If the eye was ________ my face would look ugly. As a result my scarred（疤痕）and sightless（盲的）eye live on with me.

People often asked me questions which made me ________. When kids played games,I was always the “monster（怪兽）”. I knew everyone ________ me. Yet mom would say to me,“Hold your head up high and face the world”I listened to her. As a child,I ________ what mom meant,“Be careful,or you will fall down because your eye is sightless.”

In high school I ________ became a monitor,but I still felt like a freak（怪物）. I really wanted to look like everyone else. When things got too bad, I would ________ to my mom. Then she would look at me with loving eyes and say,“Hold your head up high and face the world. Show them your inside ________.” My mom’s love encouraged me. I had faced a lot of problems and learned to ________ myself. Now I’m a happy wife and great mother. The message “Hold your head up high” has often been ________ in my home. I say it to my children,too. The gift my mom gives me lives on.

Some time ago, Frank had a clever daughter Savannah. One day, Frank found _________ in trouble. He had difficulty breathing. He called 911 to get help, _________ just as the call went through, he couldn’t even talk. When Savannah saw this, she _________ took the phone from him and started talking to the dispatcher (调度员). At that time, she was only five _________ old.

“What’s wrong?”

“Um, my dad can hardly breathe.”

When the dispatcher found out _________ situation was serious, he dispatched an ambulance (救护车) at once. The dispatcher then asked Savannah’s age and gave her advice on how to look after her father. As the dispatcher spoke to the little girl, he _________ very happy about one thing. The girl sounded very calm (镇定的). There was _________ to show that she was afraid!

Savannah made sure her father knew that she was there for him. She didn’t forget _________ to him, “Don’t worry, Dad!” It seemed she was _________ control of the situation. The ambulance quickly arrived, and her father was saved in time.

Soon Frank got better. He thanked his little girl. She __________ his life. He was so proud of her.
