On a Friday night, a poor young artist stood at the gate of the subway station, playing his violin. People quickly going home for the weekend  36  their paces and put some  37  into the hat of the young man.　　
The next day, the young artist came again, and put his  38  on the ground gently. Different from the day before, he  39  a large piece of paper on the ground and put some stones on it. Then he  40  the violin and began playing.
　　Before long, the young violinist was  41  by people, who were all attracted by the words on that paper. It said, “ 42 , a gentleman named George Sang put a(n)  43  thing into my hat  44 . Please come to claim it soon.”
　　It caused a great excitement and people  45  what it could be. After about half an hour, a middle-aged man ran there in a hurry and  46  through the crowd to the violinist and grabbed his  47  and said, “Yes, it’s you. I knew that you’re an  48  man and would certainly come here.”
　　The violinist took out a lottery ticket(彩票) on which George Sang’s name was seen and gave it to George, who  49  the lottery ticket and kissed it, then he  50  with the violinist.
The story turned out to be like this: George Sang  51  a lottery ticket a few days ago. The awards opened yesterday and he won a prize of $500, 000. So he felt very  52  after work the night before and felt the music was so wonderful that he put 50 dollars in the hat.  53 , the lottery ticket was also thrown in.

One of the most common complaints I hear from families is that they are not close. They may be close in proximity, but still not feel close as a 36_. They may live next door or in the same house, but not feel 37 .
Closeness is about  38 . We feel close when we feel 39 ,  when we feel loved and when we simply enjoy being together. We may live far apart and still feel close, or we may 40 a home yet feel distant.
Closeness is a family trait that  41 over time. It is planted by love, watered by honest sharing and fed by true listening. It grows slowly and sometimes 42 years to mature; but it’s roots grow deep. It can 43 most storm and sustain a family through the most 44 time.
I received a letter from a reader in Hawaii. She 45 out that the CEO of one of the island’s largest banks was  46 a run for governor. Since he was well—liked, he seemed to have a good 47 of winning.
But before filing papers, he 48 his mind, stating that he wanted to spend more time with his 49 . Not that elected officials cannot be family—oriented, but he felt he needed more time at home than the job 50 .
Ronald A Young, in the Honolulu Advertiser, said this about the candidate’s decision：”No matter what you 51 in the business world or the social world, if you fail the family, then you have not accomplished much. Failure or success does not 52 in the material wealth you provide them. It is 53 by what of yourself you give to them.”
He made a 54 to give the best of himself to his family. He 55 family closeness first, despite pressure to put more time elsewhere. It’s likely a decision he’ll never regret.

It is not so much what happens to each of us that determines our quality of life, but rather our reaction to what happens. Though we may have no     36   in unexpected events that happen to us, we most certainly have choice in   37   we interpret what happens, and in what we choose to do about it.

Neither does what we own    40   a major role in quality of life.

Yet to do this, we must first find the    54 to look at some of the disempowering, often unconscious   55  which get in the way and don't serve to increase our quality of life. But by continually reminding ourselves of our intention to be creators, we can transform our life.

I picked up my dog and sat Indian style with him in my arms on the  41  , wooden floor. I had no  42  but to sit on the floor, for there was no longer any furniture existing in my house. I sat there in a daze（恍惚）, just  43  . There was no reason for my parents to make me, a once  44  12-year-old kid,  45  .

If it’s possible to see red(get angry) about not seeing red, that is what I was doing. We had  26    the timing of our autumn trip to see the changing   27  in the Great Lakes States, and I was really   28   . No matter how I strained my eyes I couldn’t spot red anywhere. Not   29  a bit of golden yellow broke through the dull greenery.
This vacation was a complete   30   . I sat alone in the backseat of our rented car and got   31  as we drove north through the dull, dark green. In the   32   seat my brother and my father chatted merrily, obviously   33   .
Then a motto came to mind: “Happiness is a decision.” It must have been something my mother said. She was always passing on words of   34   . When I was a child, she gave me a black book with   35   pages. On the flyleaf she had written, “Look for a beautiful thing and you’ll find it.” I was supposed to   36  a record of the most beautiful thing I saw each day.
I remembered spending hours discussing what I’d   37   . A baby’s smile? A stone shining with fool’s gold? Pictures in the clouds, or tulips tipping their heads? I found so many beautiful things that it was   38   to pick just one.
Now, on the road, I played Mother’s game again. I took in the all-green   39   . Thick forests lined both sides of the highway. The long hill pines and spruce were seen   40   . Maple leaves danced in the gentle wind. I felt like a little girl again—   41   by beautiful things.
Later in the   42   , after we crossed the Upper Peninsula and drove into Canada, I found the bright   43   plants I had been looking for. But by then I’d already seen a million shades of __44   , the infinite variety and beauty that only our heavenly Father can   45   . And that we can always find—if we look closely enough.

In a small open courtyard, outside a school building, there were flowers here and there. In the sunshine, a  36  was lying on the grass, reading a book with  37  concentration. Near her, another child was carefully watering the flowers, while a third was  38 with his back against a tree and had a  39  on his knees. He appeared to be drawing or writing something on it. He was _40  in his task, like the first child.
_41  the building, there were pleasant carpeted areas. Many children were busy with their tasks in a variety of  42  , while teachers wandered among them, talking to them,  43  them, and encouraging their efforts.
_44  I watched this scene on a morning in May years ago, it  45  to me that a visitor here would  46  have thought be had entered a formal school. He would have been even more  47  if he had been told that the children he was  48 came from different kinds of academic levels.
That  49 has been staying with me ever since. I have been  50 about some problems. Why in many schools are our children  51 asked to acquire skills in a way  52  from a real-life context(情境)? Why does a  53 school child so often become a defeated school failure?
Developmental psychologist Margaret Donald once said,”  54 of the intellectual framework (知识框架) on which we  55 our teaching is misleading.” In my opinion, a child learns everything in human situation. And if every child could learn in the same way as the children in the school I visited, they would develop better.

Dear God，

I am  23 with the dear mother who is still allve．I appreciate her  24 each day．My mother does not  25 ，but I do．  26   I grow older and wiser．Irealize what a(n)  27 person she is．How sad that I alil    28  to speak thesewords in her presence，29 they flow easily from my pen．
How does a daughter begin to thank her mother for giving her llfe I  30’ For the love，patience and just plain hard work that go into  3 l  a child? For32 a toddler，for understanding a moody teenager，for tolerating a college student who thinks she knows  33？ For waiting for the day  34  a daughter realizes her mother really is？
How does a    35   wonlan thank for a mother for continuing to be a mother？For being ready with advice (when asked ) or  36  silent when it is most appreciated? For not saying:”I 37you so ,”when she could have spoked these words dozens of  38   ?For being essentially herself-loving ,thoughtful. Patient, and forgiving?
I don’t know how，dear God，except to bless her as richly as she  39 and to help me live up to the example she has set．I pray that 1 will look as good in the eyes of my  40  as my mother looks in mine．

When a person walks, the movement of his head, trunk, hipbones and limbs are all reflected in changes in his body. A computer     1     these changes into a database. Later, the computers can     2     identify him according to these changes. This is a new biological identification method and it can quickly identify an examinee     3     disturbing him. It's especially suitable for use in airports and supermarkets.
Everybody's voice is     4    . When a person's voice is recorded by an instrument, its voice frequency spectrum is called his sound print. Like a fingerprint, everybody's sound print is different.

The computer can help to identify you. Suppose your features have already been stored in the database³. To identify you, we have to take your picture with a camera and send it to a computer for     13    . First, the computer needs to reposition this picture according to the position of your eyes⁴, and then starts to read themessage of your physiological features such as the     14     of your pupil⁵ to the whites of your eyes⁶ and the shape of his nose. Next, it seeks matching records from the database. Finally, it makes a     15    .
