完形填空。
It was an early August night. The heat was stifling(令人窒息) even with
1 on as I tried to
sleep. I awoke early, wiped the
2 from my forehead, and took my dog out for his morning
walk. The maple tree in my backyard kept a quiet watch on the rising
3 . As I walked over to
it I was
4 to see the first red leaf of the year below it.
I
5 picked up the red leaf and smiled. In hot summer it
6 the coming fall. It was leading the
way to a(n)
7 that would soon take place. I could feel the cool wind. I could see the trees
8 with
thousands of red and yellow leaves. I could see the forests and mountains here
9 by Heaven's own
hand. I could feel the joy of a beautiful autumn
10 in my soul.
I took the
11 into my home so I could see it every day. It reminds me that there is a red leaf in
all of us just
12 to come out. It reminds me that on the hottest summer day and
13 winter night we
can still share our
14 and joy with others. It reminds me that our purpose is to add
15 to the
sometimes grey world around us. I only wish that I were the first leaf of fall instead of such a
16
changer myself.
Whether you change early or late isn't important,
17 . What is important is that you shine today.
What
18 is that you make this world a better place. Show your smile and give a hug. Feed the
19
and visit the lonely. Care for the hurting and
20 the crying. Show others just how much you love
them. Then your soul will glow(发光) like the leaves of Heaven.
