During the years of depression(萧条), food and money were very hard to find and people had to trade things with each other.
One day I was 36 some potatoes from Mr Miller. I noticed a small poor boy hungrily 37 a full basket of freshly picked green peas. Then I was 38 to see that Mr Miller sold the boy a bag of peas for just a marble (弹球).
Mrs Miller, who had been standing nearby, 39_ and told me that Mr Miller loved to trade with the three boys in the village for peas, tomatoes, and other things 40 he didn’t really need any marbles. I left the stand, smiling to myself, 41 by this man.
Several years went by. One day I learned that Mr Miller had died. I took part in the funeral(葬礼), 42_ three young men . They came over to Mrs Miller, hugged her, kissed her on the cheek, spoke with her and moved on, _43_ their eyes.
Our _44_ came to meet Mrs Miller. I mentioned _45 she had told me about the _46. She told me, “Those three young men above were the boys I told you about. They just told me 47 they appreciated the things Jim ‘traded ’with them. Now, at last, they came to pay their debt.”
“We’ve _48 had a great deal of the wealth in this world,” she _49_, “but right now, Jim wouldW#W$W%.K**S*&5︿U consider himself to be the _50_ man.”
Then she gently lifted the 51 fingers of her husband. Resting underneath were three red marbles.
At that time I realized that we would not be 52 by our words, but by our kind 53 . It is said that it takes a minute to find a 54 person, an hour to appreciate him, a day to love him, but an entire life to 55 him.

The afternoon on December 25 in the waiting room , I was the nurse on duty . When I felt sad about having to_36_on Christmas Day , a woman and four small children showed up at my desk .
“ Are you all sick ?” I asked. “ Yes,” the woman said _37_and lowered her head. But when it came to telling me about their_38_ ,things got a little surprising. They all seemed to be well and there was nothing _39_ with their body.
Why did they tell a _40_that they were all sick? I did not say anything but _41_ that it might be a little time before a doctor could _42_ them . The mother said,“Take your time.We can _43_ here. It’s so warm.” When she finished the register chart , I noticed she didn’t write down their address----were they _44_ ?
I looked at the _45_ around the Christmas tree. The children were excited and _46_ to be healthy. The littlest one was pointing at the Christmas tree and say something to the mother. Then I was sure that they came here not because of _47_ but only for warmth.
I went back to the nurses’ station and _48_ the homeless family. The nurses, _49_ about working on Christmas Day like me, turned to feel sorry for the family and decided to _50_.
We bought delicious food in the hospital restaurant and _51_ a big dinner for our guests. We needed _52_. So we put apples in a basket and collected candies and clothes. Just as we were seriously prepared to meet the physical needs of the _53_, our team worked to meet the needs of a family who just wanted to be _54_ on Christmas Day.

Just recently I had been wondering if there was much point in doing little acts of kindness. So often they get 36 , and occasionally they come back to bite you!
Then, just last week, after a long travel, I found myself 37 at a bus station. The bus was four hours late! So, I guess I wasn’t in a good 38 .
That’s when a woman asked me if I had any spare 39 to help her get a bus ticket.
“Oh, sure,” I said sarcastically (挖苦地). “How much would you like?”
As I spoke, I mentally kicked myself for my 40 and reached into my bag for some money. As I handed her five dollars, I heard low sounds from her stomach because of real 41 .
I reached back into my bag and brought out a 42 I had bought earlier. I handed it to her with a(n) 43 that I hoped would make up for my earlier tone of voice. Getting a 44 look at her now, I realized she was extremely tired, like she had had several months of 45 days!
As she took the food, a look of 46 washed over her. In return, she tried to give me a Milwaukee bus ticket! I don’t live in Milwaukee and the ticket will probably 47 be used, but I took it.
A few minutes later she came back over, apologized, and told me she was still 48 of five dollars. I took some singles out of my bag and slipped a twenty in there as well. 49 , the voice in my head told me I was being a fool.
Five minutes later she came back again and tried to 50 my twenty. When I said it was for her so she could get something else to 51 , and that I was completely serious and I wasn’t taking it 52 , she started crying and hugged me.
From now on, when I wonder if it is 53 trying to help someone, I will remember that woman. Maybe I am really making a 54 for someone. So, sure, sometimes my efforts might not be noticed, and sometimes they might come back to bite me, but they might actually 55 another human being!

Have you ever heard the story of the four-
minute mile? For years people believed that it is impossible for a human being to 1 a mile in less than four minutes until Roger Banister proved it 2 in 1954．Within one year, 37 runners 3 the belief barrier．And the year after that, 300 other runners did the same thing．
What happens if you put an animal in a 4 ? Any animal, big or small, will swim its way through．What happens when someone, who does not know how to swim, falls in deep waters? You 5 ．If an animal who has not learned swimming could 6 by swimming, why not you? Because you believ
e you will drown while the animal does not．
These 7 show the power of beliefs．There is no other more 8 force in directing human behavior than belief．Our beliefs have the power to 9 and to destroy．
In a way it is our beliefs that determine how much we’ll be able to 10 our potential．So pay attention to some of your 11 ．Do you believe you are weak in mathematics? Do you believe that other people dislike you？Do you believe life is full of 12 ？
Belief is not 13 , however．It’s nothing but the generalization of a past incident．As a kid, if a dog bit you, you believed all dogs to be 14 ．To change certain behavior, identify the beliefs associated with it．Change those beliefs and a new pattern is 15 created．

Even after many years, she still has not forgotten the last day her whole class got together to say goodbye to their dearest schooldays. Those 36 memories always become vivid every time nostalgia (怀旧) drives her feet towards the old 37 , only to find a big old tree with all of their names carved deep into the 38 and the new school houses.
Time has changed each fate beyond any 39 .The jolly "dwarf"(快乐的矮子) of the class has now turned into a 40 businessman. The shy, skinny "bookworm" is now a talented Ph. D. That naughty girl has 41 the well-known athlete and the class beauty a movie star. But she, a 42 addict, was driven by an inner force to put her pen aside and becomes a 43 instead.
Now, she is a teacher, yet she has to 44 learning numerous difficult lessons of life. The more she 45 , the better she understands the value of her teacher's 46 lesson. She has given her students the whole-hearted 47 and tenderness that she once received from her teacher who passed 48 years ago.
Now and then, she catches 49 of a warm look in the eyes of her students, which encourages her to 50 . She hopes to find herself again in her students: always listening carefully and appreciating each 51 . To her, that will be the noblest award she could 52 receive in her teaching years.
She tells herself to try her best to understand and take life at its deepest. 53 she hasn't enough teaching experience she will give her students the 54 that are not written in the lesson plans, as her teacher used to do. Her teacher's 55 "The giving of love is an education in itself" will be always in her mind.

Our thoughts, words, and actions often cause harm to others and to us． Without reconciliation
（和解）, we cannot deepen our understanding and only cause more suffering． "Beginning Anew" is
a（n） 36 of reconciliation． It involves three steps ---- sharing appreciation, expressing 37 , and expressing hurt and difficulties．
In the first step, we share appreciation． We acknowledge the 38 qualities of the other person． The second step -- expressing regret, is to 39 with the other person our regrets for the things we have done or said that might have caused him or her 40 ． This requires humility （谦逊）, and the 41 to let go of our own pride． In the third step, we 42 our own hurt with mindf
ul and loving 43 without blaming or criticizing． We speak in such a way that the other person can listen and 44 our words． If we 45 the other person, his heart will 46 and he will not be able to hear us． We ask the other person to help us to understand 47 he has spoken and acted as he has , causing us so much pain． Perhaps, later, he can share his feelings 48 we can understand him more deeply． If a strong 49 arises in us while we are expressing our suffering, we should simply 50 and come back to our breathing until the emotion becomes 51 ． The other person can 52 us by following his breathing until we are ready to continue． We can enjoy pr
acticing 
"Beginning Anew" with our partner, our family, or our friends 53 ． By doing this, we will 54 misunderstandings from accumulating． Rather, we will take care of them as they arise, 55 we take care of our children．

My ears are recently full of joyous remarks from my friends such as, “oh, Beckham is so handsome, so cool, that I can’t help falling in love with him!” or “what perfect skills he has!” Yeah, I agree 21 some degree, though I sometimes do want to ask them how much they 22 Beckham, apart from his appearance and how much they know about football 23 scoring goals. It seems funny that we are crazy for things, with which we are unfamiliar or 24 we are uncertain, but we all, my friends 25 I, consider this 26 .
We need these pleasures to brighten up our lives. But that doesn’t amount to craziness 27 nonsense. As an old saying_28_: “Don’t judge a book by its cover.” We should not __29__anything from its appearance. We should all know, it is one’s good character and great contribution that _30__one a star and unforgettable. Therefore we’d better say __31_about Beckham’s good looks
If we close our eyes, ___32__in deep thought, we can find that the things__33__us to be in true happy, sad or moved ___34__a clear meaning. If we don’t go deeper and just satisfied with superficial(表面) things , ___35__we will find that we have not really gained anything ___36__ our first impression had blinded and misled us, and we’ll remain ignorant___37___ we realize that and make some changes.
It is believed that thinking and going deeper than before is sign of great___38___. If one day we are willing to go deeper into everything, no matter how much it _39___us, we will finally prove how much we have grown up, how much more sensible, mature, and intelligent we have __40__.

I grew up poor – living with six brothers, my father and a wonderful mother．We had 26 money and few worldly goods, but plenty of love and attention．I was 27 and energetic．I understood that no matter how poor a person was, they could 28 afford a dream．
My dream was to be a 29 ．When I was sixteen, I could crush a baseball, throw a ninety – mile – per – hour fastball．I was also 30 : my high – school coach was Ollie Jarvis, who 31 me the difference between having a dream and showing strong belief．One particular 32 with him changed my life forever．
It was a summer and a friend recommended me for a summer 33 ．This meant a chance for my first income – cash for a new bike and new clothes, and the 34 of savings for a house for my mother．The opportunity was attracting, and I wanted to 35 at it．
Then I realized I would have to 36 summer baseball to handle the work schedule, and that meant I would have to tell Coach Jarvis I wouldn’t be playing．I was 37 about this．
When I told Coach Jarvis, he was as 38 as I expected him to be．“You have your whole life to work,” he said．“Your 39 days are limited．You can’t afford to waste them．”
I stood before him with my head 40 , trying to think of how to explain to him why my dream of buying my mom a house and having money in my pocket was worth 41 his disappointment in me．
“How much are you going to make at this job?” he demanded．
“$ 3．25 an hour,” I replied．
“Well, is $ 3．25 an hour the price of a 42 ?” he asked．
That 43 laid bare for me the difference between wanting something right now and having a goal．I devoted myself to 44 that summer, and within the year I was offered a $ 20,000 contract．I signed with the Denver Broncos in 1984 for $ 1．7 million, and bought my mother the 45 of my dreams．

I had the privilege to visit the Bridge of Forgiveness in Palawan during the time when I was on the summer’s team.
After the long and exciting week,we had a chance to 21 the place where we were assigned(指定).We 22 the narrow hanging bridge made of two bamboos and a long rope which you can hold 23 for your life as you cross it. I was so afraid of 24 , especially here ,and I think most of us were not 25 to crossing so high a bridge 26 ,our team leader told us that we must cross this bridge in order to see the splendid falls that lie out on the other 27 .
“As you cross this bridge,think about 28 difficult,but it is possible”.
Many times in our lives we face 29 that we don’t expect---broken relationships,betrayal(背叛)of a friend, etc.,and all we can do is 30 . But I noticed that life must go on, and all the burdens must be 31 through forgiveness---forgiveness of yourself and others.
I didn’t understand my cousin 32 she told me I should 33 all those unfriendly guys with 34 . But as I grow older,I realize that lying in the past 35 and guilt will not serve me well.
Once I forgave serious 36 ,I noticed that I couldn’t forget them but every time I remembered them, I 37 . There aer no more pains brought just by the thought of them.
After all,life is good 38 all the hardships pains and difficulties,life teaches me to be 39 in facing and adversity（逆境）while at the same time it makes me 40 to those who suffer, If somebody does something terrible to me,I have to think back the bridge of forgiveness---difficult but possible.

On the morning of November 18, 1755, an earthquake shock Boston. John Winthrop, a professor at Harvard College, felt the quake and awoke. “I rose”, Winthrop wrote, “and lighted a candle, looked at my watch, and found it to be 15minutes after four.” John Winthrop hurried downstairs to the grandfather clock. It had stopped three minutes before, at 4:12. Except for stopping the clock, the quake had only thrown a key from the mantel(壁炉台) to the floor.
