I am not sure when I started listening to the radio. In the evening, I like listening to some talk programmes. The host's beautiful voice makes me relax. The host often has the same feelings as the audience about love, friendship, life and so on. I am often moved to tears. I usually go to bed at 9:30 pm and then I begin to listen to the play on the radio in bed. I can only listen to the sound, but I am always interested in guessing who they are and what they look like. I often fall asleep while listening. During lunch and supper time, I listen to the radio, too. I like listening to music because it can make me quiet. I also like thinking about something while listening to music, for example, what I shall do tomorrow, that I have to call my family tonight and that I should send short messages to my friends on Christmas Day. You see, radio is important in my life, like a friend. In the evening, the writer likes listening to some _ programmes. A) talk B) sports C) news D) music

One midnight, a little girl woke up to go to the bathroom. She got up and down her bed, walked to the bedroom door and opened it. She looked outside and walked back, because it was so dark that she was scared. Her mother said, "Don't be afraid, honey. Take courage!" "What's courage?" she asked, running to her mother's bed. "Courage is the brave breath," her mother answered. "Mum, do you have courage?" "Certainly!" The girl held out her hands, saying, "Mum, please blow some of your courage breath to me." After her mother blew out two mouthfuls of breath into her little cold hands, the little girl held her hands nervously , afraid that the "breath of courage" would run away. Then, she walked out of her bedroom towards the bathroom with nothing to fear. Her mother said to herself, " It will be nice if someone can blow some kind of "breath" to me. Then I can hold it in my hands too when I feel afraid or lost." In fact, mostly, what we are afraid of is nothing but the fear in our mind. Who we should beat against is nobody but ourselves. To keep "mother's breath" from running away, the girl _ . A) held her own breath B) talked to her mother C) held her little hands D) ran to her bedroom quickly
