A man had a little daughter—an only and much-loved child. He lived ___21__ her—she was his life. So when she became ill, he became like a man moving 22 and earth to bring about her restoration to 23 .
His best efforts, 24 , proved 25 and the child died. The father became a bitter loner, 26 himself away from his many friends and refusing every 27 that might restore his calm and bring him back to his normal self. But one night he had a 28 .
He was in heaven, 29 a grand presentation of all the little child angels. They were 30 in a line passing by the Great White Throne. Every white-robed angelic child 31 a candle. He noticed that one child’s candle was not lighted. Then he saw that the child with the 32 candle was his own little girl. 33 to her, he seized her in his arms, 34 her tenderly, and then asked, “ 35 is it, darling, that your candle alone is unlighted?”“Daddy, they often relight it, but your tears always 36 .”
Just then he awoke from his dream. The lesson was clear, and its effects were 37 . From that hour on he was not a loner, but associated freely and 38 with his former friends and colleagues. 39 would his darling’s candle be extinguished(熄灭) by his 40 tears.

I ran into a stranger as he passed by, and I at once apologized to him. We were both very _36_, he stranger and I. Then we went 37 our way after saying good-bye.
But at home a 38 story is told. Later that day, when I 39 supper in the kitchen, my daughter suddenly stood behind me very 40 . When I turned back, I 41 knocked her down. “Don’t be in my 42 !” I shouted angrily. She walked away with her little heart 43 .On the kitchen floor later, I found some flowers by the door.
That night, while I lay 44 in bed, a voice in my deep heart said, “While 45 with a stranger, you are so polite, but with the children you love, you are so easily _46 .Why are there some flowers by the door? Those are the flowers she brought for you. She 47 them herself, pink, yellow and your favorite blue. She stood quietly in order to give you a 48 , and you never saw the 49 in her eyes.”
By this time, I felt very 50 and now my tears began to fall. I quietly went and knelt (跪下) by her __51__, “Wake up, little girl, wake up,” I said, “Are these the flowers you picked for me?” She smiled, “Yes, because I knew you’d like them, especially the 52_ .” I said, “Daughter, I’m sorry for the way I acted today; I 53 have shouted at you that way.”
She said, “Oh, Mom, that’s okay. I love you 54 .” I hugged her and said, “Daughter, I love you too, and I do like the flowers.”

Around 5:30 p.m., I was on the bus one day and everybody on the bus was quiet. People had just 36 from work, students had just finished their 37 class and everybody was a little 38 from a long day. It wasn't a particularly good day for me as I was feeling quite tired too. I was just looking outside of the 39 without any specific thought in my mind. It was the same 40 I had seen many times before, people hurrying home.
In front of me, there was a guy sitting in the seat who didn't look too clean. 41 he was looking out of the window, the guy suddenly 42 to me and pointed at something outside. "Hey, look." He had a big smile on his face. I turned to the 43 he was pointing to and there it was ---- the beautiful Catalina mountains burning with a beautiful 44 . The mountains were coated with bright pink light and shadows. He turned to other people on the bus and told them to look at the mountains. He 45
" Wow" and " It's so beautiful" again and again. Everybody on the bus 46 the views indeed.
The 47 view also helped me to 48 my long tiring day with a good feeling in my heart. But, more 49 , I was so inspired to see that this man wanted to 50 the beautiful view with everybody on the bus, total strangers. His 51 act made me accidentally find something that I had lost which I didn't even know I had lost. He made me 52 that I had lost the feelings and the excitement I 53 have everyday. In my daily life, many things had 54 their color and movement. But he 55 me that things are still there ---- they never get lost.

I truly learned what a best friend is in my first year in high school. Kate and I were good friends and we were inseparable. We spent every day together and always had a good 36 .
Then basketball started and we were on the 37 team. After a few games, 38 , Kate got moved up to the Rose Cup full-time. I wouldn't admit it then, but actually I envied(嫉妒) her. Having 39 practice times, we started to see less of each other. Soon I started to hear that she was talking 40 my back.
One night, I called Kate to tell her about my new 41 .To my 42 , the next day at school she told everyone I 43 her style because she had told me she wanted to get hers cut like this. At noon she handed me a letter and walked away 44 talking with me. I couldn't accept the 45 words on the paper. In great __46__ , I wrote right back to her.
Over the next week, we exchange(交换) more 47 notes. I cried myself to sleep every night, 48 our friendship was over. One night my mom took me to Kate's home. Our moms looked at each other 49 . Kate's mom asked us questions but __50 _ of us responded(反应) .At last I let everything out. The huge burden in my mind was slowly lifted as we each talked about ___51____ we were feeling. It was all out. Suddenly Kate 52 from her seat, crossed the room and hugged me with tears. I will never forget that.
It has been five months 53 we broke with each other. Last weekend we were out together again. It makes me happy that we are 54 to care about each other more. I now know that 55 I am asked about my friends, Kate will be at the top of the list.

Though there is much to be concerned about, there is far, far more for which to be thankful. Though life’s goodness can at times be overshadowed (黯然失色), it is 41
outweighed.
For every single act that is senselessly destructive, 42 are thousands more small, quiet acts of love, 43 and sympathy. For every person who seeks to hurt, there are many, many more who 44 their lives to helping and to healing.
There is a goodness to life that 45 be denied. In the most remarkable views and in the smallest details, look 46 , because that goodness always comes shining through. There is no 47 to the goodness of life. It 48 more abundant(充裕的) each time you feel it. The 49 you experience and appreciate the goodness of life, the more there is to be lived.
Even 50 the cold winds blow and the world seems to be 51 in foggy shadows, the goodness of life lives 52 . Open your eyes, open your heart, 53 you will see that goodness is everywhere. Though the goodness of life 54 at times to suffer hardships, it is always going on there. For in the 55 moment, it becomes more clear that life is a 56 treasure. And so the goodness of 57 is made even stronger by the very things that would go against it.
Time and time again when you feared it was 58 forever, you found that the goodness of life was really only a / an 59 away. Around the next corner, inside every moment, the goodness of life is there to surprise and 60 you.

I live in Albuquerque and I used to give much money to the homeless around, feeling sorry for their misfortune. But later I became a single mom with no home, a huge ---36--- and hardly any income. ---37---, I stopped giving and became very bitter.
Several years later, things started to ---38---. I became ---39--- enough to have a home, and ---40--- a backyard, and I started to pull myself out of debt. One day we saw a homeless person with the ---41---, “ Will work for food. ” I ---42---. My daughter asked why I no longer helped the people in ---43---. I replied, “ Honey, they just use that money for ---44--- or other bad things. ” She didn’t respond. But when I said that, it didn’t feel right.
Three days later, I was ---45--- to pick up my daughter from school. A man was standing on the corner and something deep inside ---46--- me to help him. So I stopped my car , and he ran over with enthusiasm. He said, “ God bless you, I only need 77 cents. ” I ---47--- into my ashtray and ---48--- enough, there sat three quarters and two pennies.
Greatly shocked by this ---49---, I gave him all the money in the ashtray. He ---50--- with joy and tears in his eyes, “ You just made it ---51--- for me to see my mom for Christmas ! The bus offering this great sale is ---52--- right away ! ” It was a moment I’ll never forget. I think that man won’t forget it either, but I was the one who got the best ---53--- in life_____giving. It also ---54--- me that nothing is a coincidence, ---55--- everything has meaning.
Terry was a middle-aged leather trader whose repeated failure in career made him a depressed man, often __36__ that he had been cheated by others. One day he told his wife he was so __37__ with the city that he had to leave.
So his family moved to another city. It was the evening of a weekend. When Terry and his wife were busily __38__ up their new home, the light suddenly __39__. Terry was regretful to have forgotten to bring along __40__ and had to wait __41__ in a low mood. Just then he heard light, hesitant __42__ on his door that were clearly audible (听到) in the __43__ night.
“Who’s it?” he wondered, since Terry was a __44__ to this city. And this was the moment he especially hated to be __45__, so he went to the door and opened it __46__. At the door was a little girl, shyly asking, “Sir, do you have candles? I’m your neighbor. ”“No,” answered Terry in anger and shut the door __47__.“What a nuisance!” He complained over it with his wife. “No sooner had we settled down than the neighbor came to __48__ things.”
After a while, the door was knocked again. He opened it and found the same girl outside. __49__ this time she was __50__ two candles, saying, “My grandma told me the new neighbor downstairs might need candles. She __51__ me here to give you these.” Terry was very __52__ by what he saw.
At that moment he suddenly realized what caused his __53__ in life. It was his __54__ and harshness (刻薄) with other people. The person who had cheated him in life was __55__ nobody else but himself, for his eyes had been blurred (蒙蔽) by his unsympathetic mind.

It was an unforgettable experience. By the time we made it to the 36 , my hands were wet. I 37 he would remember everything I had taught him over and over again. 38 he stopped and asked, “So, Mom, how do you like my 39 ?”
I must admit that his performance was 40 . He had both hands on the wheel. His eyes never left the highway and his handling was far better than I’d ever imagined it would be, 41 it still needed improving.
Several 42 ago, I was teaching him to ride his bike. We started 43 . The third grade primary school student was 44 that his training wheels were taken off. Of course it was a long evening. He 45 several times but always got up quickly and kept 46 until he mastered riding.
Viewing the 47 , I guess it really wasn’t about him driving. It was about him 48 ---gaining more and more independence; not 49 me so much anymore.
He will be a(n) 50 in high school this fall. This will truly be a 51 year for both of us. He’s ready to have one of the best years of his young life and I will have (a) complete mental 52 . For this is probably the last year that my baby will be at home on a(n) 53 basis.
After this school year, he’ll go to college and then into the real world. Things all happen so 54 .
Now I see the time has just arrived for him to perform what he’s learned.
So, I guess you could say his driving lessons are lessons for me too. Yes, I’m being 55 that it’s his time to drive through life’s green lights and move towards his future as smoothly and skillfully as possible.

I think that sleeping is the most wonderful thing in the world. While 36 I do nothing, but close my eyes, leaving all my work behind. In fact, I __37 _get up early nearly every morning.
My classes begin at 8:00, but the teacher asks us to arrive before 7:15 so we have 38 time to prepare for the class. If you are 39 , you’ll lose one point. And when you reach 10 40 , parents’ visit to school will be a must. Though I think it’s 41 , I still don’t want to lose any points.
One morning, my alarm clock 42 . I woke up with a 43 and found that it was already 7:00. What was worse. I lost six points in a 44 , that is to say, I was late every day that week. My teacher said that he 45 me to be late. My friends joked that my 46 was coming soon. I finally 47 to do something. I bought a new 48 . It sings songs on time, 49 I shut it down.
It’s perfect for a lazy cat like me. The first time I 50 it I successfully got up at 6:00 the next morning. Proud of 51 , I took a deep breath and found that the early morning air is surprisingly 52_. I did some reading, finding that English is really beautiful.

A young man was one day taking a walk with a professor. As they went along, they saw 36 in the path a pair of old shoes. They guessed the shoes belonged to a poor man who had 37 finished his day’s work in a field close by.
The student 38 the professor, saying, “Let’s play the man a(n) 39 : we will hide his shoes, and we stay behind those bushes to see his 40 when he cannot find them.”
“My young friend,” answered the professor, “we should never 41 ourselves in that way. You are 42 , and may give yourself a greater pleasure by helping the poor man. Perhaps we put a 43 into each shoe, and watch his reaction.”
The student did so, and they both 44 themselves behind the bushes. The poor man soon finished his work, and came 45 the field to the path where he had left his coat and shoes. While 46 his coat he slipped his foot into one of his shoes; but feeling something 47 , he bent down to feel what it was, and found the coin.
He was 48 , and looked at the coin again and again. He then looked around 49 on all sides, but no person was to be seen. He now put the money into his pocket, and began to put on the other shoe; but his surprise was 50 on finding the other coin.
His feelings overcame him; he fell upon his 51 , looked up to heaven and preyed, He spoke of his wife, sick and 52 , and his children without bread. The timely giving, from some unknown hand, would 53 from dying.
The student was moved and his eyes filled with tears. “Now,” said the professor, “are you not much better pleased than if you had played your 54 trick?”
The youth replied, “Thank you! Sir! I feel now the 55 of those words, which I never understood before: ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’

A long time ago there lived a farmer in a village. One day, while 36 in the fields, the farmer’s son 37 and broke his leg.

My wife and I had just finished the 150-mile trip home from our daughter’s college. It was the first time in our life that we would __36__ for any length of time. We wondered how other people had __37__ it.
Later in bed, I __38__ the time I started college. My father had driven me, too. My mother had to stay home to keep the __39__ from getting into the crops. I, the fourth in a line of brothers, was the first to __40__ college.
The truck was slow, and I was glad. I didn’t want to get to the city __41__. I shook hands with my father in the truck and he didn’t say a word. But I knew he was going to make a little __42__. He finally said, “I never went to college and __43__ of your brothers did. I can’t say don’t do this or that, because everything is __44__ and I don’t know what is going to come up, but I think things will __45__. When you get a job, be sure to be honest and work hard.” I knew that soon I would be __46__ in the big town and I would be __47__ the life home.
Then my father __48__ the Bible that he had read so often. I knew that he would miss it but I must __49__ it. He just said, “This can help you __50__ you will let it.”
When I finished school I took the Bible __51__ to my father. But he said he wanted me to __52__ it.
Now, too often, I remember. It would have been so __53__ to give it to my daughter when she got out of the car. But I didn’t. My father could give me only a Bible, but now I don’t really believe that I gave her half as __54__ as my father gave me. So the next morning I __55__ up the book and sent it to her. I wrote a note “This can help you.” I said, “if you will let it.”

My mother used to ask me what is the most important part of the body. Through the years I would 36 the correct answer. When I was younger, I thought 37 was very important to us as humans, so I said, "My ears, Mummy." She said. "No, Many people are 38 . But you keep thinking about it and I will ask you again soon."
Several years passed before she asked me again. Since making my first 39 , I had often thought over the question. So this time I told her, "Mummy, it must be our eyes." She looked at me and said, "You are 40 fast, but the answer is not correct because there are many people who are blind." 41 the years, mother asked me a couple more 42 and always her response to my answers was, "No, but you are getting 43 every year, my child." Then last year, my Grandpa 44 . Everybody was heart broken. Everybody was crying. My mum looked at me when it was our 45 to say our final good-bye to Grandpa. She asked me, "Do you know the most important body part yet, my dear?"
I was 46 when she was asking me this now. I always thought this was a 47 between her and me. She saw the 48 on my face and told me, "This question is very important. It shows that you have really 49 your life." I saw her eyes well up with tears. She said, "My dear, the most important body part is your 50 ." I asked, "Is it because they hold up your head?" she replied, "No, it is 51 on them a crying friend or loved one can rest their head. I only hope that you have enough friends and 52 that you will have a shoulder to cry 53 when you need it." Then and there I understood the most important body part is not a 54 one.
