Even though it was only October, my students were already whispering about Christmas plans.With each passing day everyone became more anxious, waiting for the final school bell.Upon its 36 everyone would run for their coats and go home, everyone except David
David was a small boy in ragged clothes.I had often wondered what kind of home life David had, and what kind of mother could send her son to school dressed so 37 for the cold winter months, without a coat, boots, or gloves.But something made David 38 .I can still remember he was always 39 a smile and willing to help.He always stayed after school to straighten chairs and mop the floor.We never talked much.He 40 just simply smile and ask what else he could do, then thank me for letting him stay and slowly head for home
Weeks passed and the 41 over the coming Christmas grew into restlessness until the last day of school before the holiday break.I smiled in 42 as the last of them hurried out of the door.Turning around I saw David quietly standing by my desk.
"I have something for you." he said and 43 from behind his back a small box. 44 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 surprise saw nothing.I looked at David’s smiling face and back into the box and said, "The box is nice, David, but it’s 45 ."
"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 46 I looked at the proud dirty face that I had rarely given attention to.After that Christmas, David and I became good friends and I never forgot the meaning 47 the little empty box set on my desk.

My first memories of acts of kindness are from when I was about 12 years old. From then on I always 36 at home and with friends.
That winter I notice that many 37 people had difficulty getting to the 38 store after a snowstorm. So I started to spend part of a 39 Saturday knocking at apartment doors to ask if any one needed 40 from the store. The grocery store was down a huge hill and I would bring 41 a couple of bags of groceries for them. I liked it and it made them so 42 .
It started with 43 alone and then the number grew. A short time later, my 44 in the building asked what I was doing and a couple of them 45 and it became a routine. I 46 asked for or took money for it. Sometimes the ladies 47 slip the change in my pocket. I would just buy something the next time to give to them, 48 flowers or a card. I did this every 49_ up to when I left to go to college.
When I was away at 50 , many people asked my mom how I was doing. Through those conversations she 51 what I used to do -—I had never told her.
Now, I’m a teacher and teaching my students the art of true 52 ; Everyone in the world needs help, and everyone can also 53 help. The image of those old people’s happiness caused by my 54 of goodwill appears in my mind every time I have the chance to do something 55 . This is the power of charity.

“So teach him to close the door”, my daughter Emma responded after listening to me 36 , again, about the dog coming in from the back door, bringing with him a blast of Buffalo January 37 air.
Teach a dog to close a door behind him? That has got to be a really, really 38 thing to do.But then she took it a step 39 .“Come on, Kolby”, she said, grabbing some treats(犒劳物) and 40 him in front of the open door.“Touch.” And “touch” he did, which moved the door to a 41 position.She 42 him with a treat, smiled, looked at me, and said “see!” And I saw and became 43 .Over the last few days I have been with Kolby.Each time he comes in I bring him back to the 44 door and ask him to close.There have been 45 in the beginning, but lately more and more successes.
However, there remains much work to be done.I have to get him to follow my hand signal again and again 46 he will close the door from a distance.But, I now realize, as long as you keep to the focus , the 47 will be completed, and, with the way things are 48 , completed quickly.
What a 49 treat to have a dog that can close the door after himself! Even more wonder can be found in the 50 I learned so clearly from both Emma and Kolby.
A wish is just a wish until you decide to take 51 .Once you 52 the belief that it is “too hard”, then it remains “too hard ” and out of 53 .Once you want to accomplish a goal, and 54 that it is “easy”, then it becomes “easy” to do what needs to be done.Just 55 doing it.

Thomas Edison replied very __37_, “Oh, we have come a long way and we have _38__ a lot. We now know that there are two thousand materials which we cannot _39__ to make a good light bulb.”

How __43_ the above lines are! Success takes __44_. We’ll make mistakes _45__ we do things in too much of a hurry.

In 1883, a creative engineer, John Roebling, was inspired to build a splendid bridge connecting New York with Long Island. However, experts throughout the world thought that this was 16 . Even so, Roebling could not 17 the idea in his mind. After much discussion, he 18 convince his son Washington, an up-and-coming engineer, that the bridge in fact could be built. They hired their 19 and began to build their dream bridge.
Only a few months 20 the project was underway a tragic on-site accident killed John Roebling and 21 injured his son, leaving him brain-damaged and unable to move or 22 . Surely now the project would have to be 23 . Though Washington Roebling lay in his hospital bed, he was not 24 and his mind remained as 25 as it was before the accident. Suddenly an idea 26 him. All he could move was one finger, so he 27 the arm of his wife with that finger, 28 to her that he wanted her to call the engineers again. Then he used the same method of tapping her arm to tell the engineers what to do. For 13 years Washington tapped out his 29 with one finger until the bridge was 30 completed.
Perhaps this is one of the best examples of never-say-die attitude that 31 a terrible physical disability and achieves an impossible 32 . Often when we face difficulties in our daily lives, our problems seem very small 33 what many others have to face.

The job of raising children is a tough one. Children don’t come with an instruction manual(说明书). And each child is 36 . So parents sometimes pull their hair out in frustration(挫折), not 37
what to do. But in raising children—as in all of life—what we do is 38 by our culture. Naturally then, American parents teach their children basic American 39 . To Americans, the goal of parents is to help children 40 on their own two feet. From 41 each child may get his or her own room. As children grow, they get more 42 to make their own choices. 43 choose their own forms of entertainment, as well as the friends to 44 them with. When they 45 young adulthood, they choose their own jobs and marriage 46 . Of course, many young adults still 47
their parents’ advice and approval for the choices they make. But once they “leave the 48 ” at around 18 to 21 years old, they want to be on their own , not 49 to their mother’s apron strings (围裙带). The relationship between parents and children in America is very informal. American parents try to 50 their children as individuals—not as extensions of themselves. They allow them to achieve their own 51 . Americans praise and encourage their children to give them the 52
to succeed. When children become adults, their relationship with their parents becomes more like a (an) 53 among equals. But 54 to popular belief, most adult Americans don’t make their parents pay for room and board when they come to 55 . Even as adult, they respect and honor their parents.

“We’ve been good friends for so many years. And I don’t think you meant to do that ...” I said to myself, looking at Jack, my friend who was running across the 36 field.
How I wish I could join them! But it was impossible because of the pain in my left foot, caused by Jack.
I first met Jack in a football match in the elementary school. When my team looked as if we were 37 , Jack, who was watching, volunteered to join us. He was so confident and skilled that we won. From then on, Jack and I often played together and became best friends.
But something happened before an important football match between Class Six and my class. My class had so many good players that we had to 38 the best ones. Jack and I were in the same team. The match was close in the first half. I saw my chance and was ready to score a goal. Suddenly, Jack 39 me. He slid to stop the ball, but collided with my left foot. I knew I had lost the chance to score and was 40 the field. But what really hurt me was that Jack didn’t say sorry. And when some of my teammates said he did it on purpose to 41 me from scoring, I felt even 42 .
Now I stand here, with tears in my eyes. I don’t want to 43 those words but I don’t know how to persuade myself they are 44 . Then everything changes when Jack scores and wins! How excited I am!
While I am still 45 in excitement, someone pats my shoulder. It is Jack, with a smile on his face. “I’m sorry that you can not join in because of my 46 . But you see, Jason, we beat them! No matter whether you joined in or not, you’ve made a contribution. Come on, let’s celebrate!” Suddenly, I am 47 by the players. The sunshine is so bright that I close my eyes. Riding high above my teammates, I feel so happy. And I know the friendship between Jack and me will last forever.

As a child you 37 adults—or "grown-ups" as I used to call them—to always be in control.to know what is right and wrong. 38 as a teenager, I thought that when I reached 18 I would be far more 39 in many aspects of life.But now that I am 18, 1 know that is not true.

The 45 of a ‘body clock’ should not be too 46 since the lives of most living things are controlled 47 the 24-hour night-and-day cycle(循环). We feel 48 and fall asleep at night and become 49 and energetic during the day. If the 24-hour cycle is 50 most people experience unpleasant 51 .

A person may have a false idea about himself that will stop him from doing good work.
He may have the belief that he is unable to do it.A child may think he is 36 because he doesn’t understand how to make 37 use of his mental gifts.Old people may have a false idea that they are unable to learn things new because of their 38 .

I dreamed I had an interview with God.

That they lost their health to make money… and then lost their money to restore their (39)__________. Then by thinking anxiously (40)__________ the future, they forget the (41)___________, so that they live in neither the present nor future. That they live as if they will never die, and die (42)__________ they had never lived.” God’s hand took mine and we were silent for a while.
And then I asked, “(43)__________ a parent, what are some of life’s lessons you want your children to(44) ___________?” He answered, “To learn they (45)__________make anyone love them. All they can do is to let themselves love(46)____________. To learn that it is not good to compare themselves to others. To learn to forgive by practicing forgiveness. To learn that it only(47)___________ a few seconds to open profound(深的) wounds in those they love, and it can take many years to heal (48)__________. To learn that a rich person is not one who has the most, but is the one who need the (49)___________. To learn that there are people who love them(50)____________, but simply have not yet learned how to express or show their(51)___________. To learn that two people can look at the same thing and (52)___________ it differently. To learn that it is not enough that they forgive one(53)____________, but they must also forgive themselves.”
“Thank you for your(54)___________,” I said humbly. “Is there anything else you would like(55)_____________ to know?” God smiled and said, “Just to know that I am always here.”

Homework is work, not play. In contrast to what some might hope, students 55 finish their homework exclaiming that they had great fun. Nor is homework an activity that students choose to undertake. It is 56 by a teacher for students to complete on the teacher’s schedule, with the teacher’s requirements in mind. So to have the fight 57 Will be of great help. Homework means business and the student should expect to work on it seriously. As in the work place, careless efforts and lack of self-discipline are likely to make the 58 impression.
Teachers assign homework for 59 purposes. In some cases, teachers seek to review and solidify material being covered in class; homework is also designed to 60 student learning beyond class lessons. As students mature, teachers often assign homework nightly in several subjects. Homework is also used to prepare students to handle new work, 61 in the ease of summer reading. Increasingly, school reforms call for homework to take the form of course projects, thus increasing its 62 to “real-life” job-related activity.
Like jobs, homework can be appealing when its resources are well managed. Resources 63 sources of information—textbooks, of course, and increasingly, the Internet—but they also include a quiet space to work, materials and equipment such as calculators, paper or a computer, and others who cohabit (共面存在) in the homework environment. The external (外部的) resources needed for homework can be viewed as a kind of 64 . office for the child with features like those needed in the workplace.

If Mickey Mouse slips (滑倒)on a banana skin on TV, viewers laugh. But for ordinary people, falling is not 36 . For example, if you 37 over a stone or fall off your bike, you have to take days to get well. For 38 people, the result of a fall could be worse.
Scientists at the University of Pittsburgh, USA, wanted to know why some people are 39 likely to fall than others.
The researchers found that 40 means more than planting your feet on the ground and standing tall. Your brain 41 your sense of balance with information from your eyes and inner ears and the 42 from your feet and legs. If something goes wrong with any of these, you’re 43 to fall. People 44 to fall more often as they grow older because their senses are slower.
State of mind is important too. The research shows that when people know they’re walking on a slippery surface, they 45 their pace and walk with flatter feet. As a result, they fall less often.
“We actually 46 people slip and fall,” researcher Mark Redfern said. People of different ages fall on 47 in his lab. Cameras 48 their falls and a computer analyzes the information. Scientists then can 49 people who fall often how to be more watchful.
“If they get 50 to a lifelike but controlled environment, people can 51 learn to handle the 52 thing,” Redfern said.
Falls happen to everyone sometimes. 53 you see someone fall, think about why and offer a helping 54 . This person’s painful experience may 55 you from falling at the same place.
