In my eyes, the librarian (图书管理员) was the best 2 in the school. I wanted to know if
they sat in a soft chair and read books all day when nobody was around.
One day, my geography teacher, Mr Acree, asked me if I could 3 in the library during
the book fair. They needed someone to tidy up books and 4 shelves. I could hardly believe it!
I said “yes” right away. Although I wouldn’t get paid, I was really happy because I could 5
any book I wanted from the book fair for free. This made me very 6 because my family didn’t
have enough money to buy many books.
When Friday came, I went to the 7 early to start volunteering. I cleaned the shelves and
organized the books.
The fair was quite a success for all the people! When it was over, I 8 all the books that
were left. After doing all the work, I 9 went through the shelves and picked my favorite book.
I took the book to Mr Acree to thank him. He smiled and said he liked students who loved books
and wished me to 10 reading. It was a great day, and I couldn’t wait to start my reading
journey.

The race against time began when the Flying Cloud set out on its journey. It aimed to be the
fastest ship ever to travel from New York to San Francisco.
Eleanor (Ellen) Creesy was responsible for 1 the ship, planning the best course for it
to follow. Although she was highly skilled, being a woman made her an unusual navigator. At that
time, women were expected to become wives and mothers and 2 held responsible positions
outside the home.
The journey was full of 3 . During a big storm, a major part of the ship was broken.
Ellen didn’t stop to fix it right away. She decided to keep going and was 4 to win the race
despite the risk.
In places where there was no wind, ships could easily get stuck. Ellen 65 find a way
with her knowledge, so the Flying Cloud got out of these places faster than any other ship before.
When preparing for the trip, Ellen read a lot of research to learn about wind and water movements at
different times of the year. This required a 6 spirit that most seamen didn’t have at that
time.
Near the end of the trip, the Flying Cloud came to Cape Horn, the most dangerous part of the
journey. There was a lack of 7 due to violent storms. Ellen couldn’t see the sun and had to
use her guesswork to 8 their position. She was so good at it that she led the ship through a
narrow and rocky passage, successfully 9 the people on board.
Finally, on August 31, 1851, the Flying Cloud reached San Francisco, completing its journey in
89 days and 21 hours and breaking the old record by a week. With her 10 and courage,
Eleanor showed that women could make great achievements at sea.

I was cute, active and happy until that day when I was 15 months old. I had a bad fall. I fell on a
glass rabbit and it cut my eye badly enough to blind it. The doctor said that if the eye was 1 ,
my face would become out of shape, so my scarred （有疤痕的）, blind and grey eye lived on with
me.
People often asked uncomfortable questions about my eye or 2 played jokes on me.
When the kids played games, I was always the " 3 guy." I knew that everyone looked down

face the world." It helped me move on in life. As a 4 , I thought Mom meant: "Be careful or

was able to look people in the eye. I learned not only to appreciate（欣赏）myself but to have deep love
for others. "Hold your head up high" has been 9 many times in my home. Each of my
children has felt its 10 . The gift she gave me lives on in my children.
