Even though it was only October，my students were already whispering about Christmas plans. With each passing day everyone became more_36__ waiting for the final school bell. Upon its__37__ everyone would run for their coats and go home，everyone except David.
David was a small boy in ragged clothes. I had often__38__ what kind of home life David had，and what kind of mother could send her son to school dressed so__39__for the cold winter months without a coat，boots，or gloves. But something made David__40__.I can still remember he was always__41__a smile and willing to help. He always__42__ after school to straighten chairs and mop the floor. We never talked much. He__43__ just simply smile and ask what else he could do，then thank me for letting him stay and slowly__44__ home.
Weeks passed and the__45__ over the coming Christmas grew into restlessness until the last day of__46__ before the holiday break. I smiled in__47__ as the last of them hurried out of the door. Turning around I saw David__48__ standing by my desk.
“I have something for you，”he said and__49__ from behind his back a small box.__50__ it to me，he said anxiously，“Open it.” I took the box from him，thanked him and slowly unwrapped it. I lifted the lid and to my__51__ I saw nothing. I looked at David’s smiling face and back into the box and said，“The box is nice，David，but it’s__52__.”
“Oh，no. It isn’t.” said David. “It’s full of love. My mum told me before she died that love was something you couldn’t see or touch unless you know it’s there.”
Tears filled my eyes___53__I looked at the proud dirty face that I had rarely given__54__ to. After that Christmas，David and I became good friends and I never forgot the meaning__55__the little empty box set on my desk.

While I was looking out of the window, I saw an old homeless man crossing the street, carrying a suitcase.
Many times I looked on far away, feeling 36 for the homeless, but did nothing. I did 37 some money to homeless people when I walked by, but never really interacted (互动) with them.
Though we 38 doing something, yet we push it into the deep corners of our heart because we’re too busy, too 39 , or too afraid of strangers.
Today I did what I 40 thought I could. I walked out and ran after the old man. When I 41 him, I asked him if I could buy him 42 . He looked surprised, but accepted it 43 , warning me that he had a good appetite！

Years ago I had the opportunity to meet a girl who reinforced my understanding of the power of belief. She was 36 the most powerful person I had ever met. I met Chris for the first time while taking the Dale Carnegie 37 in California.
Our class had already been going for quite some time when 38 , supported by metal crutches（拐杖）, 39 herself in. Chris had cerebral palsy（大脑性麻痹）. She had many 40 in communicating with others. This was not due to 41 of desire, but because most of her twenty-one years of life she had been kept in a room with no more than Elvis records and tapes to 42 her. No one had taken the time to assist her in developing the ability to 43 . It was Bonnie, her current caretaker, who 44 there was much more to Chris than anyone else gave her credit for.
When asked by the instructor what her goal 45 the twelve-week course was, Chris struggled to respond and became frustrated and 46 in the process. For most of her 47 nobody would listen to her. The only way she knew to get someone to 48 was through temper outbursts. With Bonnie as her interpreter, Chris conveyed that her 49 was to be able to stand by herself in front of forty-five people and tell us about herself.
On the twelfth week, Chris stood in front of the room and 50 with us, in her own words, what her life had been like. It was one of the most beautiful and enlightening experiences I had ever 51 . Though as a girl who had in many ways been 52 , she believed that she could __53__ more in her life and she did. And she also had the love and support of forty-five friends, who, just weeks before, had been 54 strangers.
What we all witnessed through Chris’ courage is that life is 55 moment by moment, based on our beliefs, which are relevant to both our personal and professional direction and have the power to make our wildest dreams come true.

The young couple had another quarrel. They were sitting silently when the landlady(女房东) came in and asked, “You don’t 36 the house any more?” He kept silent and she 37 shook her head.
The landlady began 38 the house. After looking around, the landlady screamed, “See how you have 39 my house? The walls are full of nails(铁钉)! How could I rent it to others?”
She began looking around her 40 room. Four years ago on the wedding night, he felt deeply 41 to her, saying, “I feel so sorry to you for 42 you live in this small room. In the future I will buy our own big house.”
This tiny room has two nails on the wall next to the door, one for her bag and the other 43 . At that time, she threw all her stuff(填充物)such as her bag and umbrella on the 44 once she entered the room, staring at the whole 45 and feeling terribly upset. Then he began 46 more nails into the wall. There were three nails on the left, on which 47 his clothes yesterday and four on the right used to 48 their wedding photo frame.
The landlady started to pull the nails out with a tool. After the nails were 49 , the walls were left with countless holes. Suddenly, she felt heartbroken as if she were 50 nonstop through these holes.
She 51 to her feet and exclaimed, “Stop removing the nails! We will rent the house 52 we buy our own!” He gazed at her surprised, and then turned round, tears over his cheek.
She 53 realized that marriage was like a wall and that all 54 and “cold wars” were like the nails on the wall. 55 , when they were removed, only a wall with holes would remain. But if all the nails were still in their own places, the wall was still complete and reliable.

I always long for romantic moments, like a little girl longing for candies．However, my husband is my complete 1 . His inability to bring romantic moments into our life has made me get tired of our 2 . One day, I finally told him that I wanted a divorce.
“Why?” he asked, 3 .
“I am tired; there are no 4 for everything in the world!” I answered.
He kept 5 , seeming to be in deep thought, with a lighted cigarette in his hands. Finally he asked, “What can I do to change your 6 ?”
Looking deep into his eyes I slowly answered, “Let’s say, I want a flower on a mountain cliff and picking the flower will cause your 7 . Will you do it for me?”
He answered, “I will give you my answer tomorrow.”
I 8 the next morning, finding a piece of paper on the dining table, which read: “My dear, I would not pick that flower for you, but please allow me to 9 .”
My feeling of disappointment only 10 , but I continued reading:
“You always leave the 11 keys behind, so I have to save my legs to 12 home to open the door for you. You always like to stay indoors and I 13 that you will feel too lonely, so I have to save my mouth to tell you jokes and stories. You always stare 14 the computer and that will do nothing 15 for your eyes, so I have to save my eyes so that when we grow 16 , I can help to clip your nails. Thus, my dear, 17 I am sure that there is someone who loves you more than I do, I could not pick that flower yet, and die.”
My tears fell on the 18 and I continued reading:
“Now that you have finished reading my answer, if you are 19 , please open the front door for I am standing outside 20 your favorite bread and fresh milk.”

Each spring brings a new blossom of wildflowers in the ditches (沟渠)along the highway. I travel daily to work. There is one particular 26 flower that has 27 caught my eyes. I’ve noticed it blooms only in the morning hours; the 28 sun is too warm for it. Every day for about two weeks. I see those beautiful 29 .
This spring I 30 a wildflower garden in our yard. “I can look out of the 31 window while doing the dishes and see the flowers. I’ve often thought those lovely blue flowers from the 32 would look great in that bed alongside other wildflowers. Everyday I 33 past the flowers thinking, I’ll stop on my way home and 34 them.” “gee (哎呀), I don’t want to get my good clothes dirty…” whatever the reason, I 35 stopped to dig them.
One day on my way home from work in my car, I was 36 to see the highway department had moved the ditches and the pretty blue flowers were 37 . I thought to myself, “You 38 too long. You should have done it when you first saw them 39 this spring. ”
A week ago, we were shocked and saddened to learn my older sister-in-law had a terminal brain tumor (肿块). She is 10 years 40 than my husband and unfortunately, because of age and distance. We haven’t been as 41 as we all would have liked. I couldn’t help but see the 42 between the pretty blue flowers and the relationship between my husband’s 43 and us. I do believe god has given us some time left to 44 some wonderful memories that will bloom every year for us.
And yes, if I see the blue flowers again, I’ll 45 and transplant them to my wildflower garden.

It was 4 o'clock in the morning, when I received the phone call.
“This is the emergency room calling and your son was just 36 in with severe burns on his face, neck and arms. We have called for a(n) 37 and are going to fly him to the burn unit in Seattle.” Seattle was 350 miles from his college, so we knew immediately this was 38 . The doctor described the 39 , which caused the burns. At 6 am, our son and his friends decided to barbecue hamburgers in the courtyard of their apartment. When they 40 the charcoal(木炭),it burst into flames because they had sprayed too much gasoline(petrol).The flames 41 my son’s shirt tail and shot from his waist to well over his head.
42 , one of the boys was quick-minded, grasped my son, and 43 him on the grass. While it saved his life, it was not in 44 to save him from severe burns and the terrible scars(伤疤).
After he 45 from the treatments, the doctors told him they would not do plastic surgery(整容)for 6 months 46 it takes that long for the skin to stop shrinking and wrinkling. So, he had to return to college with scars typical of severe burns.
When I was a child, my mother told my sister, who had a 10-inch very 47 scar on her arm, “Nancy, if you ignore the scar, other people will ignore it. It does not mean they will not 48 it, but it means it will not matter to them if it doesn’t matter to you.”
I 49 this wisdom on to my son. He took my advice to 50 and returned to school with his head held high--glad he was alive.
By the end of the six-month waiting period, he decided that the scars did not 51 . So he made the 52 to give up any plastic surgery. We all have “scars” that we believe 53 people to keep away from us. And we spend a lot of time thinking that if only we looked differently, or dressed differently, people would like us better.
But you see, people will only judge you by your looks, or your clothes, if you are judging yourself by these same 54 standards. Put your imperfections out of your mind and concentrate on what you value 55 yourself, and your beauty will shine through.

I was doing some last-minute Christmas shopping in a toy store. A nicely dressed little girl was 31 the teddy bears beside her father 32 she saw a little boy walk in and stop in front of the Pokémon toys. His jacket was obviously too small. He had money in his hand. 33 , it seemed to add up to five dollars at most. He was with his father as well, and kept 34 the Pokémon video games. Each time he showed one to his father, his father 35 his head, “No”.
Rather 36 , the boy gave up the video games and chose a picture book 37 . After they walked away, the little girl ran over to the Pokémon video games. She excitedly picked up one 38 on top of the others, and raced down toward the check-out. I picked up my purchases(购买物) and 39 the girl and her father.
Then much to her 40 , the little boy and his father got in line 41 her and me.

It was, he said, 47 what he had wanted! The little girl and her father had been standing at the doorway, and I saw the biggest and sweetest smile on her face I have 48 seen in my life.
I suddenly understood that the world is not 49 into the strong who care and the weak who are 50 . We must each in turn care and be cared.

The doctors did not hold much 23 of her ever recovering from this illness. They 24 she'd spend the rest of her life in a wheelchair.They said that few, if any, were able to come back to 25 after suffering from this disease .The little girl was 26 . There, lying in her hospital bed, she would swear that she was 27 going to be walking again one day.
She was moved to a specialized 28 hospital in the San Francisco Bay area. All 29 that could be applied to her case were used. The doctors were moved by her undefeatable spirit. They taught her about imaging about seeing herself walking. If it would do 30 else, it would at least give her hope and something 31 to do in the long waking hours in her bed. Angela would work as hard as possible in physical treatments, and in exercise sessions. But she worked just as hard lying there faithfully doing her 32 , visualizing herself moving, moving, moving!
One day, 33 she was attempting, with all her might, to imagine her legs moving again, it seemed as though something 34 happened: the bed moved! It began to move around the room! She 35 out, "Look what I'm doing! Look! Look! I can do it”. I moved! I moved!"
Of course, at this very moment everyone else in the hospital was screaming, too, and running to a 36 place. People were screaming, equipment was 37 and glass was breaking. You see, it was the terrible San Francisco earthquake. 38 don't tell that to Angela. She 39 that she did it.
And now only a few years later, she's back in school, on her own 40 . No crutches, no wheelchair. You see, anyone who can shake the earth between San Francisco and Oakland can defeat a little disease, can't they?

When I was a little girl, I found love in a box all because of a class assignment. On a Friday night I 36 at dinner table, “My teacher said we have to bring a box, a special box, for our valentines (情人节) on Monday”.
Mother said, “We’ll see,” and she continued eating.
What did “We’ll see” mean? I had to have that box 37 my second grade Valentine’s Day would be a disaster. Maybe they didn’t love me enough to help me with my 38 .
All Saturday I waited 39 and with Sunday arriving, my concern increased, but I 40 an enquiry（询问）about the box might 41 anger or loud voice, for in my house children only asked once. More than that 42 trouble.
Late Sunday afternoon, my father called me into the kitchen. The table was covered with colorful 43 of different kinds. A (n) 44 shoebox rested on top of it. 45 flooded through me when Daddy said, “Let’s get started 46 your project.”
In the next hour my father 47 the shoebox into impressive valentine box. Colorful paper covered the ugly cardboard with red hearts 48 to what I considered all the right places. He sang while he worked. When he finished, he was so delighted that a 49 smile spread over his face. “What do you think of that?” he asked.I answered him with a hug.
But inside, 50 danced all the way to my heart. It was the first time that my father devoted so much 51 to me, for his world consisted of work only.
The holiday party arrived, and my classmates put cards, and presents into the valentine boxes. Laughter filled our classroom until dismissal time 52 .
On the way home, I held out my valentine box for the world to 53 . The love that filled it meant more to me than all the valentines inside. The valentine box became a symbol of his love that 54 through decades of other Valentine’s Days. He gave me other gifts through the years, but none 55 compared with the love I felt within the limits of the old, empty shoebox.
