Eighty-year-old retired tailor, James McKay, spent Saturday night in prison after hitting 30-year-old Keith Smith over the head with his walking stick. McKay's wife, Laurene said that, while McKay is usually a（n）1 and pleasant person, he had been driven to this act of2 by literally getting wet just once too often. He could no longer3 it.

Smith lives above the McKays. He is a（n）4 gardener, and also a fish collector. Unfortunately, the water he5 over his balcony（平台）every day ended up on the McKay's floor, or too often, on the unsuspecting McKays themselves.

"For the last two weeks, since Smith moved into the flat above us, we dared not go onto our6 ," said Laurene. She added that it wasn't only the water7 their balcony from Smith watering his plants that8 them, but also the way he cleaned his fish9 . "We'd be sitting there happily reading our newspapers, when suddenly so much water would come from above that we'd be as wet as if we had10 with our clothes on! We could hardly11 the smell of fish!"

And on Saturday evening it was just too12 , "It was James' birthday," Laurene recalled, "and it was such a beautiful night to enjoy the starry night13 . I made him a birthday cake. The candles were a great sight as you can14 , but James didn't get to blow them out." Instead,

Smith15 one of his larger tanks over his balcony and both the McKays and the cake were wet through. "I have never seen him move so fast and I couldn't stop him. He was up there in a（n）16 ."

Smith is not going to take things further with the police. He has also17 to change his ways from now on. And what of James McKay? As he left the18 station,a large crowd of supporters sang him "Happy Birthday". "Definitely the most exciting birthday ever!" said the19 old man. "The best since my20 , I'd say!"

It was a cold, snowy evening. Tommy was running as fast as he could, focused on nothing but his destination— the shop on the street corner. Two weeks ago he saw figurines of Marvel superheroes on the shelves and felt he had to have one. He's been walking the neighbor's dog ever since then to earn money to realize his little dream. He was so excited and hardly noticing the world around him. Maybe that's why he tripped over the legs of a homeless woman, who was sitting on the sidewalk, her back against the wall. He murmured（低语） "sorry" and moved on to his destination.

Once he entered the shop, he went straight to the shelves with figurines. Hulk, Thor, Captain America, Iron Man, and many more— all of his admired heroes. With his heart pounding like crazy he reached for Spiderman.

"You like these, true believer?"

Tommy turned around. An old man was standing behind him with a wide smile on his face. "Y-yes ... Yes, they're awesome!" answered Tommy. "They're strong and fast and help other people a lot..." the boy looked at figurines in admiration. "I wish I could be a superhero too."

"Then become one!" said the old man.

"How?" Tommy asked in surprise. "I don't have any superpowers."

"And why would you need them?" the old man smiled. Seeing the confusion on the boy's face, he squatted（蹲下） and put his hands on Tommy's arms. "Did you know, that shopkeeper lady over there has a disabled husband? She's been working hard and taking care of him for years. I've never heard a word of complaint from her. And this person—" he pointed at a redhead man, who just entered the shop. "He's a firefighter; he's saved countless lives. He never gives up, no matter how dangerous the situation seems to be."

The old man looked Tommy in the eyes and smiled. "You don't need a superpower to be a hero for someone else. The path of a superhero starts not in the mind, not in the muscles, but in the heart."

Every year in China, a day is set aside to honour, and show respect for, the elders and senior citizens in the entire nation. As China has more than 297 million people  (age) 60 and over, according to the latest statistics, this day  (grow) in popularity over the years.

In the early 1980s, the Chinese government declared that the Chongyang Festival would be the day on which (celebrate) the lives of China's elder citizens. Of course, showing respect and admiration to  old is a Chinese tradition dating back to ancient times, therefore the people easily and readily support this day. On this day, the government and local communities hold various activities for the elders, free hair-cuts, cultural performances and health-care consultations.

However, respect for the elders should be kept in mind firmly and showing  (we) for them is not restricted to one special day only. According to historical records, elders over 70 years old enjoyed special treatment and anyone not showing respect to them (punish), which proves that respecting the elders was set in law back then.

Apparently, respect for the elders is the  (found) of the Chinese moral system. Today, throughout China, we find many examples of young people  (carry) on this tradition of respect.

Last year, my friend, Kydee Williams, and I started a non-profit project because we wanted to do charity work differently. Thus, The Pop-Up Care Shop was 1 .

TPUCS is a traveling shop of 2 donated goods for people in need. During the holidays, we 3 clothing drives and then went to women's shelters. Our main goal was to help inspire women who were 4 with hope as well as bring a little holiday cheer to our local communities.5 any project or movement wasn't easy. Brainstorming and coming up with cool ideas was the 6 part, but actually bringing those ideas to life can seem almost 7 at times. However, there were lessons about 8 that we didn't fully realize until we started this journey.

From our experience, we learned smaller shelters, especially those in less-commercialized areas were often 9 when it came to getting community support. Actually, they were typically more 10 to new and creative ideas and would greatly welcome 11 who offered help. Under our inspiration, many 12 people devoted themselves to non-profit work. Many shelters are understaffed and the staff overworked. Working directly with them helped us 13 the specific needs of the shelter.

While material things like food, clothes, money, and shelter can help people survive, what 14 helps people live is the intangible（无形） necessities like love, presence, patience. Even though we can't help every single person in the world, we can 15 a world of difference for at least one person.
