Last night, Molly watched a basketball game. Her brother Sam played in it. Sam did his best in the game, but his team ________ it. Molly tried many ways to make Sam happy, but ________ of them worked.

Molly thought for a long time and finally she came up with a good idea. She ________ Sam’s favorite cake for him. When she had a taste of it, she was frustrated (沮丧的) because the cake tasted so ________. However, when Sam tried a piece of it, he smiled. “No matter what others ________ the cake, I like it very much,”Sam said to Molly, “Because I know you have cooked it with your ________ and you have tried your best. ”Hearing this, Molly said,“This is just what I want to say to you. ________ your team didn’t win the game, you tried your best. That was ________. You are the greatest in my heart all the time!”

Since then, Sam has changed a lot. Now every time he ________ to do something, he thinks of Molly’s words. He is no longer ________ failing. He becomes strong enough to face all his trouble in his life.

The Sweetest Sight

I was in the most beautiful city in the world, yet I only wanted home.

It was an amazing week for my husband and me - the trip of a lifetime. Months ago, when my husband told me that he would have a meeting in London, I expressed my________ to go to Europe together with him. Then we asked his mother to________ our two children and started off.

During the week, ________visited London and Paris as much as we could-Big Ben, the Louvre and so on. All these were beautiful places we expected to see before. We really enjoyed ourselves.

On our last night in Paris, ________ we enjoyed the night view (夜景) of the Eiffel Tower, my husband called home. His mother________ the phone. In a second, my husband's face fell and he looked so worried. I could feel something________happened.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

He didn't answer and continued to listen. A few minutes later, he said________ to me that Tony, our seven-year-old son, had fallen off his bike and ________his leg. He must be sent to hospital at once.

At that moment, Paris suddenly lost its charm (魅力).

"I don't want to be here! I shouldn't be here! I should be home________ my kids!" We hurried back to our hotel and then to the airport.

Finally, we got home. We rushed into our children's bedroom. Seeing our two children, I suddenly realized the truth: there is no________ sight (风景) in the world than your children's faces that greet you at home.
