       Each   3at twelve o’clock, he opened the bag and   4a Tomorrow, just one, with its wings of   5, and its shining feathers rose with hope．All the rest were kept   6by Time’s strong hands and pushed   7in the bag．

       Down flew the Tomorrow   8its lovely feathers, but as it touched the   9, off fell its blue wings and it changed to a（n）   10white bird which could not fly．It had become a Today．Everyone knows that Today isn’t as   11as Tomorrow, for Today can be held in one’s   12, accepted, unloved, but Tomorrow is full of mystery（神秘）and beauty．It is   13by all the world．Even those with   14hope sigh, “Tomorrow may bring a（n）   15．Tomorrow’s life will be different．”
