To be a good teacher, you need some of the gifts of a good actor; you must be able to hold the attention and interest of your students, you must be __1__-speaking, with a good, strong,__2__voice which is fully under your control; and you must be able to __3__what you are teaching, in order to make its meaning clear.
__4__a good teacher, and you will see that he does not sit still before his class; he __5__the whole time he is teaching; he walks about, using his__6__, hands and fingers to help him in his explanations, and his face to express his__7__. Listen to him, and you will__8__the loudness, the quality and the musical note of his voice always __9__according to what he is talking about. The fact that a good teacher has some of the gifts of a good actor doesn't __10__that he will indeed be able to act well on the stage, for there are very important__11__between the teacher's work and the actor's. The__12__has to speak words which he has learnt by heart; he has to repeat exactly the__13__words each time he plays a certain part, even his movements and the ways in which he uses his voice are usually__14__beforehand. What he has to do is to make all these carefully learnt words and actions seem __15__on the stage.
A good teacher__16__in quite a different way. His students take an active part in his __17__: they ask and answer questions, they obey orders, and if they don't __18__something, they will say no. The teacher therefore has to suit his act to the needs of his students, which is in his class. He cannot learn his part by heart, but must __19__it as he goes along.
I have known many teachers who were fine__20__in class but unable to take part in a stage play because their brains wouldn't keep discipline: they could not keep strictly to what another had written.

A high school history teacher once told us, “If you make one close friend in school, you will be most fortunate. A true friend is someone who stays with you for life."_1_ teaches that he was right. Good friendship is just not easily _2_.
It is possible that we simply do not stay in one place long enough food _3_friendship to _4_. However, there can be_5_disagreement on the need for each of us to think carefully about the kind of friendship we want.
To most of us, friendships are considered very important, but we need to have clear in our _6_ the kinds of friendship we want. Are they to be close or _7_ at arm's length? Do we want to _8_ourselves or do we want to walk on the surface? For some people, many friendships on the surface are _9_enough—and that' s all right. But at some point we need to 10 that our expectations are the same as our friends' expectations. The sharing of_11_experience _12_ our tears as well as our dark dreams is the surest way to deepen friendships. But it _13_be undertaken(进行) slowly and carried on only if there are _14_of interest and action in return.
What are some of the _15_of friendship? The greatest is the attraction to expect too much too soon. Deep relationships _16_time. Another“major difficulty" is the selfishness to think one “possesses" the other, including his time and attention. Similarly, friendships _17_ actions in return. In 18words, you must give as much as you take. Finally there is a question of taking care of. Unless you spend _19_time together, talking on the phone, writing letters, doing things together, friendships will die _20_.

Lose-Win is weak. It’s easy to get stepped on. It’s easy to be the nice guy. It’s easy to give in, all in the name of being a peacemaker.
A girl named Jenny once told me about her 36 in the world of Lose Win during her eighth grade year before she finally broke 37 :
My 38 with my mom all started one day 39 she said to me sarcastically(讽刺地)，“Wow, you’re sure sassy today.” I 40 it so literally (字面地) that then and there I decided to close myself off from her and never 41 back to her. So every time she would say something 42 I disagreed with her I would just say, “Okay, 43 you want, Mom”
But I really got cold quickly. And my 44 began to build. One night I talked to my mom about the school homework and she said, “Oh, that’s 45 ”and then went back to mop the floor.
“Don’t you ever 46 ?”I thought. But I didn’t say anything and stormed off. She had no idea I was 47 upset. She would have been willing to talk to me had I 48 her how important it was to me.
At last, I just blew up. “Mom, this has got to 49 . You tell me everything you want me to do and I just do it because it’s 50 than fighting. Well, I’m sick of it.” This all came as a 51 to her.
After my blowup, we felt like we were 52 all over in our relationship. But it’s getting better all the time. We discuss things now and I always 53 my feeling with her.
If you adopt Lose Win as your basic 54 toward life, then people will wipe their dirty feet on you. You’ll also be 55 your true feelings deep inside. And that’s not healthy.

Many of us spend a great deal of time and energy trying to prove that we are right-and others are wrong. Many people believe that it’s their job to 36 others how their positions, statements, and points of view are 37 , and that in doing so, the person they are correcting is going to somehow 38 it, or at least learn something. Wrong!
Think about it. Have you ever been 39 by someone and said to him, “Thank you so much for showing me that I’m wrong and you’re right.”? Or, has anyone you know ever 40 you when you corrected them, or made yourself “right” at their 41 ? Of course not. The truth is, all of us 42 to be corrected. We all want our positions to be 43 and understood by others. Being listened to and heard is one of the greatest 44 of the human heart. And those who learn to 45 are the most loved and respected. Those who are in the 46 of correcting others are often resented and 47 .
A wonderful way for becoming more peaceful and loving is to practise 48 others the joy of being right- give them the glory. 49 correcting. When someone says, “I really feel it’s important to\:”, rather than jumping 50 and saying, “No, it’s more important to…:”, simply let it go and allow their statement to 51 . The people in your life will become less defensive and more 52 . They will appreciate you more than you could ever have 53. You’ll discover the joy of joining in and witnessing other people’s 54 , which is far more rewarding than a battle of egos (自我). Starting today, let others be “ 55 ”, most of the time?

It was raining. I went into a café and asked for a coffee. 21 I was waiting for my drink, I realized there were other people in the place, but I sensed 22 . I saw their bodies, but I couldn’t feel their souls 23 their souls belonged to the 24 .
I stood up and walked between the tables. When I came to the biggest computer, I saw a thin, small man 25 in front of it. “I’m Steve,” he finally answered after I asked him a couple of times what his name was. “I can’t talk with you. I’m 26 ,” hw said. He was chatting online and, 27 , he was playing a computer game-a war game. I was 28 .
Why didn’t Steve want to talk with me? I tried 29 to speak to that computer
geek（怪人）, 30 not a word came out of his mouth. I touched his shoulder, but no reaction（反应）. I was 31 . I put my hand in front of the monitor, and he started to shout, “ 32 !”
I took a few steps back, wondering if all those people in the café were looking at me. I 33 , and saw nobody showed any interest.
34 , I realized that the people there were having a nice conversation with their machines, not with people. They were more 35 having a relationship with the 36 , particularly Steve. I wouldn’t want to 37 the future of human beings if they preferred sharing their lives with machines 38 with people.
I was worried and sank in my thoughts. I didn’t even 39 that the coffee was bad, 40 Steve didn’t notice there was a person next to him.

Having left the town, the girl stopped the car at the landing near the entrance of the bay (海湾)She stepped into the 16 and rowed out silently. The tide was rushing to the entrance and 17 to the wild open sea. She had to row across the bay to reach 18 side. The waves struck against the side of the boat, 19 and uneven; it became 20 difficult to row. If she 21 for a moment, the tide would push the boat back towards the 22 .
She wasn' t even halfway, 23 she was already tired and her hands 24 from pulling on the rough wooden oars (船桨).“I'm never going to 25 it”, she thought. She rested the oars on her knees and 26 her head helplessly, then looked up as she 27 the boat shift(晃动) against the tide.
The east wind , which had swung(旋转) around from the south-west, 28 her help and pushed the boat towards the mountains. It was going to be 29 . Her hands weren't so painful. Her chest didn’t feel as if it was about to burst 30 .
The lights of the town became 31 . one of the oars banged against the side of the boat and she 32 it with a start. Had she been asleep, or just 33 ? She looked over her shoulder. She was almost on the beach. The girl gave one last 34 on the oars to ground the boat, and then lay back against the seat. She listened to the waves 35 and knew she had come home. Far across the moonlit bay the lights were no more than a sparkling chain.

Childish Voice
When I was a young child, my parents often told me that it was time to teach a man everything. I didn’t understand and wondered why 36 had such a big influence 37 a person. I thought I could grow up quickly to find it out as an adult．But now, 38 I come to knock at the door of adulthood, I feel 39 to express my own 40 on this saying. I know that I’m just a high school student with very 41 experiences. There are still many things 42 me in the future, yet I would like to express myself in a childish voice.
I once read this sentence: “To make this world a happy place to live, you’d better 43 youreself and your heart , instead of the whole world.” I was shocked. It made me think about life 44 . There are so many things around us that 45 our will. We can’t force life 46 our wishes.The earth won’t stop turning no matter whether we 47 it or not. What we can do is just to make ourselves 48 the world. I think we should learn to accept 49 life gives us, no matter whether it’s the spring sunlight or the winter snowfall, and try to be happy.
Deeply moved by the pop song Grandmother (by Jay Chou), I always try to 50 every pleasant thing in my life, but now I see I don’t catch most of the pleasant moments. It is more 51 that they slip by and leave you feeling 52 . I realize that I’m not just living 53 myself and that there are the others around me I should think of .They all pay attention to my growing up, even if it’s just a little progress.
Everyone has his or her own attitude towards life, be it positive or 54 . It doesn’t matter, I think. There is one 55 that should be obeyed—and that’s to make this world better.

While attending a conference, I returned to my hotel room late one evening. The overhead light outside my door was burned out and I had 1 finding the keyhole. When I 2 to open the door, I 3 around the wall for a light switch. I found a plate where a switch was 4 installed... but no switch!
Not discouraged easily, I remembered 5 a lamp by the bed when I deposited my luggage 6 in the day. I found the bed in the 7 and then the lamp, but when I switched it on, nothing 8 !

And if you feel that your light is 19 a candle in a forest remember -- there isn’t enough darkness in all the world to 20 the light of one small candle.

In modern society there is a great deal of argument about competition. Some 36 it highly, believing that it is 37 for social progress and prosperity. Others say that 38 is bad, that it sets one person against another; that it 39 unfriendly relationship between people.
I have taught many children who held the 40 that their self-worth relied on how well they 41 at tennis and other skills. For them, playing well and winning are often life-and –death affairs. In their single-minded 42 of success, the development of many other human qualities is 43 forgotten.
44 , while some seem to be lost in the desire to succeed, others take a(n) 45 attitude. In a culture valuing only the winner and 46 to the ordinary players, they strongly 47 competition. They seem to seek failure by not trying to win or 48 success. By not trying, they always have a(n) 49 ：“I may have lost, but it doesn’t matter 50 I really didn’t try.” 51 , this belief is the same as 52 of the true competitors trying to prove themselves. Both are based on the 53 belief that one’s self-respect relies on how well one performs in 54 with others. Both are afraid of not being valued. Only as this basic and often troublesome fear begins to dissolve（缓解） 55 a new meaning in competition.

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 whatwe choose to do about it. These choices make all the 38 in how we experience our world and very much determine our 39 of life.
Neither does what we own 40 a major role in quality of life. One person with all the money and possessions in the world may have a 41 life, while another in the lowest income classes may 42 love their life. It is what we do with what we own that 43 our level of satisfaction and joy in life. It's not what you 44 or what happens to you in life that 45 , but rather what you do with it.
Every 46 something is happening in our lives. And every moment we 47 or a judgment about what happens.

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.

Last weekends, my kids along with few other kids from the neighborhood volunteered to help me wash my car．My 10-year-old daughter came up with the idea of 36 other people’s cars as well．It was pretty 37 outside and I had no plans to 38 being in the bright sun．She 39 wanted to give lemonade（柠檬汽水）to passerby for free．I had seen little kids 40 and sell fresh lemonade for a small cost but not free．Although I felt 41 , I decided to help her.
42 she asked me, “What if we 43 this a smile car wash?” I couldn’t hold back my tears and 44 her and the other kids to go outside the house and come up with 45 ideas．While I kept myself busy in drying the car, the gang walked up to me with a(n) 46 with beautiful images of smiles．They had “Free Car Wash” written on it and the 47 of their exercise was “smile”．It was pretty neat to see a team of kids ranging 5-11 years with the 48 to do something for others.
All that seemed 49 and came right from their heart．Nothing seemed to 50 to them: their playtime, the heat outside—they just wanted to 51 others and do something nice in the community!
I helped them make some fresh lemonade and brought out some additional 52 to help clean cars．Passersby were 53 and one even shouted back to them saying “God Bless You, my kids…” One of them even tried giving them 5 dollars, which they refused．A pretty heartwarming 54 !
I feel blessed by being 55 by such wonderful and loving souls.
