When I was in primary school, I got into a major argument with a boy named Tom in my class. I can’t remember what it was about, 21 I have never forgotten the 22 I learned that day.
I was 23 that I was right and he was wrong--and he was sure that I was wrong and he was right. The 24 decided to teach us a very important lesson. My English teacher, Ms Green 25 both of us up to the 26 of the class and 27 him on one side of her desk and me on 28 . In the middle of her desk was a large, round object.

I couldn’t believe he said the object was white, 31 it was obviously black! Another 32 started between my classmate and me, this time about the 33 of the object.
The teacher told me to go stand where the boy was standing and told him to come stand where I had been. We changed 34 and now she asked me what the color of the object was. I 35 answer, “White.” It was an object with two 36 colored sides, and from his side it was white. 37 from my side was it black.
My teacher taught me a very important lesson that day: You must 38 in the other person’s shoes and look at the 39 through their eyes in order to 40 understand their view.

One of my fondest memories as a child is going by the river and sitting idly on the bank. There I would 16 the peace and quiet, watch the water rush 17 and listen to the singing of birds and the rustling of 18 in the trees. I would also watch the bamboo trees 19 under pressure from the wind and watch them 20 gracefully to their original position after the wind had 21 .
When I think about the bamboo tree's ability to bounce back to its original position, the word "resilience" comes to mind. When used in 22 to a person this word means the ability to readily 23 from shock, depression or any other situation that stretches the limits of a person's 24 .
Have you ever felt like you are at your 25 point? Thankfully, you have survived the experience to live to talk about it.
During the 26 you probably felt a mix of emotions that threatened your health. You felt emotionally drained, 27 exhausted and you most likely stood 28 physical symptoms.
Life is a 29 of good times and bad times, happy moments and unhappy moments. The next time you are experiencing one of those bad times or unhappy 30 that take you close to your breaking point, bend, 31 don't break. Try your best not to let the situation get the best of you.
A 32 of hope will take you through the unpleasant ordeal (考验). With 33 for a better tomorrow or a better situation, things may not be as bad as they seem to be. The unpleasant ordeal may be easier to 34 if the final result is worth having.
If life gets 35 and you are at your breaking point, show resilience. Like the bamboo tree, bend, but don't break!

I had a very special teacher in high school many years ago whose husband died suddenly of a heart attack. About a week after his death, she _________ some of her insight with a classroom of students. As the late afternoon sunlight came streaming in _________ the classroom windows and the class was nearly over, she moved a few things aside on the _________ of her desk and sat down there.
With a gentle look on her face, she paused and said,"Before class is over, I would like to share with all of you a thought __________ I feel is very important. Each of us is put here on earth to learn, share, love, appreciate and give of ourselves...and ______ of us knows when this fantastic experience will end. It can be taken away at any moment. Perhaps this is a(an) _________that we must make the most out of every single day."
Her eyes beginning to__________, she went on,"So I would like you all to make me a _________...from now on, on your way to school, or on your way home, find something beautiful to notice. It doesn't have to be something you see---it________ be a scent(香味)--perhaps of__________ baked bread wafting out of someone's house, or it could be the sound of the breeze slightly rustling the leaves in the trees, or the __________ the morning light catches one autumn leaf as it falls gently to the ground. Please, look for these things, and remember them.
"For, _________ it may sound silly to some people, these things are the 'stuff' of life. The little things we are put here on earth to enjoy. The things we often take for ________. We must make _______important to notice them, for at any time...it can all be taken away."
The class was completely quiet. We all picked up our books and filed out of the room _________ .That afternoon, I noticed more things on my way home from school than I had that whole semester. Every once in a while, I think of that teacher and remember what a deep _________ she made on all us, and I try to appreciate all of those things that sometimes we all __________.
Take notice of something _________you see on your lunch hour today. Go barefoot. Or walk on the beach at sunset. Stop off on the way home tonight to get a double dip ice cream cone. _______ as we get older, it is not the things we did that we often _______, but the things we didn't do.

Doing community service work, I spent three or four hours handing out warm dinner to the homeless out in the streets. After that I went to a 16 shelter not far from the Bay Bridge.
I was in high school and at the time my sister was too young to 17 . She wanted to help, 18 she made four or five dozen chocolate chip cookies for me to 19 and hand out to people. When getting to the homeless shelter I passed out the remaining meals. I had the containers with my 20 cookies in them and began to 21 , offering them to anyone near me.
I 22 an old gentleman and said, “Sir, would you like a cookie?” He stopped and turned around, looked at me 23 in the eye and said, “What did you say? Did you call me sir?” I told him I had, and his eyes 24 a little bit and he said, “No one has 25 called me sir.” He was completely taken aback.
It struck me.
I explained I had been raised that 26 color and social status, everyone deserved 27 . It made me 28 to think that just because he was homeless, no one 29 him the honor. It broke my 30 , and I couldn’t help 31 cry. I just didn’t understand 32 no one ever called him sir? I had never thought that anyone was below me because I wasn’t raised that way. Every 33 person deserves to be treated with dignity. Years later, I still carry that memory and the 34 it taught me. Sometimes, what we take for granted can 35 make a difference in someone’s life.

Last weekend, 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 passers-by 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. Passers-by 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.

I’d meant to go to Miros that day. I’d packed my bag and was ready. The motor-boat in on time. The sky was cloudy, but the wind wasn’t too strong for the two-hour . I stood at my window, staring at the boat. Then I lost of her, an old light-house partly blocked my view of the harbor. A dozen passengers were their way there. I was about to join them --- when a man’s face at the light-house window.
This was strange, because the light-house had been empty, unused and for thirty years. It was stranger still --- because I’d seen that before. I couldn’t place it but it was, or had once been, familiar to me. I opened my window and across. “I know we’ve met before, but I can’t remember where.”
I him to open his if he could and answer me. He did neither. The face behind the glass motionless (静止). Seeing him more clearly now, I knew he was not looking at me. He seemed to be looking upwards, the clouds. How well I’d known that face, sometime, somewhere!
I again. “We met years ago. Was it in Athens in the 1950s? I used to live in Plaka.”
He didn’t reply nor give any that he’d heard. I went back further, to I was in the navy. “Perhaps we met at sea during the war,” and that thought at once him to mind. Commander Leftis! He was Commander Leftis of course! How could I have forgotten? I’d saved his life once. But surely he …
The motor-boat her bell. I turned my eyes. The wind had risen, but she was pulling . Laughing, I called, “Now I’ve missed her, and it’s your , Commander!”
As the boat drew away, the face at the window faded. minute it was there. Looking up, I could see the whites of the eyes. The minute it was gone.
Well, I didn’t rush to the light-house. I knew that Leftis was dead. He died at sea in 1963 or 1964. But there’s one other thing I ought to tell you: the motor-boat never reached Miros. It was lost in a storm, with all the passengers.

There was once a group of young people searching everywhere for happiness but what they got was only annoyance, grief and misery.
So they Socrates for advice on where happiness . But giving any answers, Socrates asked them to help with building a first. The group of guys had to the task, laying aside their own business of seeking happiness. It took them a long time to cut down a tall tree, gouging out (挖空) the center. Through painstaking effort, they made a canoe out of the tree. They launched the canoe into a river, and then together in it, singing with .
Socrates asked, “My children, do you have happiness now?” They answered in chorus: “We be happier!” Socrates , “That’s it! you are too busy pursuing something to notice anything bitter, happiness will occur.”
From the story I got to know that happiness hides behind every tiny thing that you are involved in, and that you may only get pleasure through work and creativity.
We may have to pain in our daily life and in the process of happiness. Sometimes we tend to look for happiness in things, like a new car, clothes, etc. True long term happiness, however, comes from within our and spirit. So why not turn suffering into life, and tears into the light in your heart? Only in this way can we make it through and find true happiness.
So my dear friends, just remember happiness is a state of mind and a matter of , and I you all a life of happiness.
