By the age of sixteen years old, Ben had always been an outstanding student. He went to great lengths to achieve high grades and managed to keep his parents delighted and proud. Neither of his parents had the opportunity to attend university and it was their biggest ambition that Ben could land a well-paid and decent job as a lawyer. He knew that achieving this goal would make his parents walk on air, but he wasn't certain whether he would feel the same.

Since he was only a child, Ben had been passionate about computer programming. He taught himself how to use a computer, and by the age of 12, he had been proficient in three different programming languages. He did all of this in his spare time. He was quite an introvert(内向的人), so he preferred staying in with his computer, rather than going out socializing with his fellow classmates ｏｒ playing sports in the brilliant sunshine. It was acceptable with his parents, as long as he continued to focus on his studies.

One day, while reading an article online about a young technology billionaire called Tom, Ben was fascinated by the magical power of technology and the wisdom and innovation of the young CEO. The inner voice told him that he longed to become a computer programmer. Everything changed for Ben. In the article, the CEO said that his company was trying to create a new and improved way of paying for goods online but that they were struggling with the security system. He said if they could overcome this, they could launch the biggest and best online payment system in the world. It occurred to Ben that he had an innovative idea on how to handle this problem. Thinking that it wouldn't come to anything, he emailed the CEO, introducing himself and explaining his idea.

He forgot all about it, but then a month later; the most amazing thing happened.

With all these concerns in mind, Ben determined to communicate with his parents frankly.

One possible version:

He forgot all about it, but then a month later, the most amazing thing happened. He received a response directly from the CEO, which informed him that his brilliant idea struck a chord and that he was welcome to fly to America to share his forward thinking on the security system. Ben was overjoyed, staring at the email with his lips curving into a smile. But a wave of worry took hold of him. What about his parents' ambition for him? Should he turn down the offer against his own passion? Would he let his parents down if he followed his own heart to realize his potential?

With all these concerns in mind, Ben determined to communicate with his parents frankly. When Ben got home from school, he took a deep breath and plucked up his courage to confess everything to his parents. Ben told them he didn't think he would become a qualified lawyer. Instead, he guaranteed that he could do something brilliant in a career as a computer programmer. Hearing this, his parents felt very surprised, but they didn't blame him. They stroked his head gently, whispering that they would accompany him to visit the CEO in person. Bathed in the harmonious atmosphere, Ben was inspired to seize the opportunity to pursue his own dreams.

As the afternoon sun bathed the local beach with its warm, golden rays, four-year-old William sat on the beach with a mix of expectation and confusion. His dad, Steven, sat by his side. They were waiting for William's friends to arrive and celebrate his long-awaited birthday party. William's wide eyes, filled with hope and happiness, stared at the shoreline, looking for familiar faces.

He kept asking his dad where everyone was, and Steven just told him "they're coming soon, "trying to ease his son's growing impatience. But the longer they waited, the more hopeless William became. He was extremely disappointed when the two invited families called and said they couldn't make it to the celebration because of unexpected situations.

Steven watched his son, who had been eagerly expecting his special day for what seemed like ages. This year, William had been more aware than ever of his upcoming birthday, asking throughout the month when his birthday was, eagerly expecting a good time.

Feeling a sense of guilt for his son's disappointment, Steven decided to turn to social media for help. He posted a lovely picture of him and William on the beach. Their faces were filled with a mix of hope and disappointment. The sincere words with the picture read, "William would love some friends to play with on the beach. To celebrate his fourth birthday, he has Hot Wheels, sand toys, dinosaurs, and we have some snacks and drinks. Any and all welcome. 

William's wish for companionship produced a strong response from the local people. They flooded the post with messages of support, birthday wishes, and offers to join the celebration. They were determined to make William's day special.

"Going there. See you soon, "one warm-hearted local commented on the post, promising to bring her family along. The message aroused the same feeling from many others, who were quick to follow suit.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

"You should throw me in the bin, Mummy."

Those are the words my son say to me, words a mother should never hear their child say. When I asked him why, he told me that like his digger, he was broken and could not be fixed. My heart cracked a little more at that and I knew that I had to try and find a way to bring back the joy into our world.

At age two, he was diagnosed with type two diabetes and he was "just losing his puppy fat". My son grew sicker and sicker until eventually, he was admitted into hospital.

Motherhood changed in that moment. I went from "Mummy" to nurse, always keeping a watch for signs he might be in danger from his own body. It can be hard to find the balance between the demands of being a full-time carer for a child with illness and being a mother. In those early days, it broke me lo hear him beg and cry for me not to hurt him with needles again. The risks that come along are as big as they can be: blindness, organ failure, coma, death. His life is, and always will be, dependent on the monitoring and assessment of all these factors.

Yet, I had to find a way to raise him to know that he could live it fully and with all his dreams within reach. I had to learn how to live with these two roles, just as he had to learn to live with the demands his body would place on him. What I had not expected was to find the way through in the mud and rubble(瓦砰) of a new-build social housing estate.

My husband, son and I moved to the new estate in Cumbria when my son was four. The back garden was nothing more than a patch of newly sown grass, and a thin layer of topsoil. Underneath that was rubble and rock. The site was a former industrial stoneworks, and but to us, it was a place of hope.

Soon after we moved in, my son and I decided to plant a garden.

This small garden let us both live again.

One possible version:

Soon after we moved in, my son and I decided to plant a garden. He worked out plans with his drawings. Soon after we started digging, slowly seeing the bones of his dream become reality. We used what we could find. We taught ourselves how to build ponds, and how to grow food. For plants, we rescued the weeds that would otherwise be dug up. My son tenderly transplanted these into our new beds with a welcome, as if each were the most delicate of flowers. Plant by plant, our garden grew，creating a place of magic and medicine, for all that lived there -- plant, animal and human.

This small garden let us both live again. He brought delight into my world, and I scattered into his the magic of small seeds. As our little garden took shape, we both discovered an important thing: that even though things might not be perfect, even though there might be things that are hard and hurt,even though the ground may be broken, this soil still holds the potential to nurture and grow our dreams. We imagined ourselves a secret garden that began with the simplest of things: a weed. From it, we grew joy.
