Granny Sarya lived outside Moscow．Her only son   1 to Afghanistan(阿富汗) and was killed in action there．Soon after that, her husband lost his job．The old man was always   2 food and clothes．And on a winter night he went out alone when Sarya was asleep．The next morning he was   3 dead in a cold lake．And his worn-out coat was   4 in a tree not far away．Sarya was so   5 that she nearly took her own life.
Things got worse and worse after that．She always lived in hunger and cold．She had hoped that the government(政府) could help her but she    6 .
It was a cold windy night．The old woman couldn’t   7 asleep at all．She had to get up．She decided to write a letter to God（神）, asking for   8 ．She wished God to give her 100 rubles (卢布), so she could buy some food for herself．When she   9 writing it, she found she had no   10 ．She had to put the   11 at a crossing． 12 the next morning a policeman found the letter．He read it to his comrades．They were all so   13 that they gathered some rubles and sent them to the poor old woman.
At first Granny Sarya was happy．But after she   14 the money, she became   15 and said, “I’m told that all things that are touched by the policeman will be only a half left!”

When it was over 20 years ago, I first met Mr．Andrews, my old headmaster．During the war (战争) I was studying at school in the north of England．My 1 had just returned to London, and there were not 2 schools left for children．My father had to go from one school to another, trying to 3 them to take me as a pupil．We had 4 to all the schools near our home, but no one would take me． 5 , we went to a school about five kilometers 6 form home．The headmaster kept us waiting for at least 7 ．I could hear boys playing on the playground outside.

When the headmaster’s secretary (秘书) let us 8 his office, Mr．Andrews said,” 9 do you want to come here?” I had 10 of saying something about studying, 11 now I couldn’t remember anything, only thought of the boys playing outside．”I don’t know 12 in London,” I said．”I’d like to play with 13 boys．I’ll read a lot of books, too.” “All right,” Mr．Andrews said．”We have one seat 14 .” My two years at that school were 15 the happiest of my life.

Ballpoint pens have made life easier for millions of people．At one time 1 did not like their students to 2 with pen．Perhaps it was because pens can leak(漏) and it is 3 to spill(溢出) the ink．And it is hard to write on thin or cheap paper with them.

Ladislao Biro 4 for a newspaper in Budapest．He spent all day 5 his desk．Day in and day out, he corrected 6 of thin, cheap paper with a pen and ink．He often had to stop to 7 his pen and it did not write 8 on the thin paper．He and his brother George 9 some experiments．They wanted a pen that did not leak, with ink that did not spill．Why not 10 a little ball at the end?

Two Englishmen, Henry Martin and Frederick Miles, like the 11 .It was the 12 of the Second World War．The Air Force 13 a non-leak, non-spill pen for the men to write with in 14 ．Martin and Miles made and 15 many thousands of Biro “writing-sticks” to the Air Force.
