Your mother and I decided long ago that if we can make a persons life 43 after we died, our death will have meaning.”The lesson my father taught me that day became one of the most 44 in my life.Years passed.

We always worked on projects(设计) 36 .The 37 of the Challenge was simple to build a projective container to keep an egg from breaking when rolled down the stadium wall. I 38 _ my sandwich that afternoon while waiting for Cassie. As I was spreading（涂抹） the butter-cream ,it gave me an idea.“I have a wonderful design for our 39 container!” I said when Cassie arrived. “We can mix the egg with some butter cream.”“Why not put the egg in a basket with a parachute(降落伞) together?” Cassie rolled her eyes. “The parachute is better than that stupid idea.”I couldnt believe it. Of course wed had our little 40 in the past, but shed never called any of my ideas “ 41 ” before.“Then Ill build mine and you build yours! ” 42 words had been out, our friendship was challenged.When Friday finally arrived, I had to admit Cassies Egg Force One looked pretty good. Anyway , my Egg-cellent Egg Cream didnt look quite scientific. We kids carried our containers up three stadium steps and 43 them over the side wall. Those whose eggs broke were out; those whose egg survived turned around three more steps and dropped them again. This would go on till the last egg broke.After four rounds, only Cassie and I were 44 . I let go of my box. I heard someone say “ew” after seconds. Had my egg broken? I ran down the 45 . The sidewalk was dotted with egg shell(蛋壳) from those failed drops. Finally I found my little Egg-cellent Egg Cream.“That looks like egg drop soup, Laura, ” Cassie said. She was holding her Egg Force One. My 46 raced. Had she won? I looked at her basket., Empty ! “My egg bounced 47 , ” she explained, pointing to a broken shell(壳).“A tie(平局),” Mr Baker said.Cassie looked at me, and her glare softened . I laughed. She smiled36.

The lighthouse keeper looked out at a ship. “ 36 will be gone in a few more minutes,” he said sadly. His daughter, Grace Darling, could see the people on the ship were 37 . “ Cant we 38 them?” she asked. “Isnt there any way to help them?” “No one can take a lifeboat out in that water,” he answered. “The waves are 39 large.” Grace had great courage. She simply did not know how to 40 . Filled with pity, she raced to the lifeboat. Her father 41 . He asked her not to get into the boat, but she would not listen. Her father could not let her go 42 .
