John, 11 years old, was in bed in hospital. Several days before, while he was playing in a baseball game, he fell and hit his head. The doctors believed that he might never get well.

“He seems to have given up hope. So medicines alone won’t help. Perhaps he needs something else,” said a doctor. “When I visit him, all he ever says is that he would like to meet Babe Ruth.”

1.　 In America, Babe Ruth was as important a man as the President himself, and he was the most famous baseball player.

The next day John’s father managed（设法完成）to tell Babe Ruth about the story of his son on the phone. Twenty-four hours later, as the boy lay in his hospital room, Babe Ruth walked in.

2.　　

The great baseball player sat down at John’s beside, and said, “Now, listen, kid, you’ve got to get well. I’ve brought you a new American League baseball, so you must start throwing it.”

For John, this was the beginning of a new life. 　 3.　 He was able to live a healthy life—all because of the present of Babe Ruth.

任务一：选择恰当的句子，填入文中空格处。

One day, my three-year-old granddaughter Emily fell from her bike when I was cooking in the kitchen. I ran to help her get up. When she saw the blood (血) on her knees, she started to cry. I took her in my arms, saying words of comfort (安慰) as I carried her into the house.

With much comfort, she let me wash and put ointment (药膏) on her knees. I kissed her and asked, “All better now, sweetie?”

“No, Grandma. You must say the Mommy words,” she said. I didn’t know what she meant. Then she added, “You know, Grandma. Mommy says them to make me feel better.” Emily took a deep breath (呼吸) and started to recite (吟诵), “A little kiss, a little hug, I give you these, with all my love ...”

My mind raced and I remembered. They were the same words that I had recited to my children, my mother to me, and her mother to her. My grandmother had died when my mother was eight. There had been nothing left but her dear memories. When she became a mother herself, she passed on the love of her mother and the Mommy words. Hearing them now, I understood that although I had never met my grandmother, I did know her. We were mothers — we were close at heart.
