Martin is my youngest son. He likes staying alone and he seldom laughs. As the boy’s mother, I was __1__ about him. I took him to see the doctors in many hospitals, but it didn’t work well.
Nothing could make him happy except the recycling truck passing by my house. Every afternoon, he raced to the front of the house, waiting for the truck.

Recently, I said to him, “It’s my little boy’s birthday tomorrow. Can you do __7__ special for him?”
The next day, we saw the __8__ truck running down the street with a loud beep (嘟嘟声). Like a superman in a movie, Vince stopped and walked towards us with a box in his hand.
“Today is your birthday, Martin, and here’s a gift.”
