It was the end of my first day as waitress in a busy New York restaurant. My cap had gone away, and my feet 26 . The loaded plates I carried 27 to be heavier and heavier. Tired and discouraged, I didn’t seem able to do anything 28 . As I made out a check for a family with several children who had changed their ice cream 29 a dozen times, I was ready to stop. Then the father 30 at me as he handed me my tip. “Well done,” he said, “you’ve 31 us really well.” Suddenly my tiredness 32 . I smiled back, and later, when the manager asked me how I’d like my first day, I said, “ 33 ! Those few words of praise had 34 everything. Praise is like 35 to the human spirit; we cannot flower and grow without it. And 36 , while most of us are only too 37 to apply to others the cold wind of criticism (批评), we are 38 to give our fellows the warm sunshine of praise. Why so when one word of praise can bring such 39 ?”
It’s strange how chary (吝啬的) we are about praising. Perhaps it’s 40 few of us know how to accept it. It’s 41 rewarding to give praise in 42 in which an effort generally goes unnoticed or unmentioned. An artist gets admiration for a wonderful picture, a cook for a 43 meal. But do you ever tell your laundry manager how pleased you are when the shirts are 44 just right? In fact, to give praise 45 one nothing but a moment’s thought and moment’s effort.

There is one thing better than making a new friend, and that is keeping an old one.
——Elmer G Letterman
Two years ago my family moved. The day we left, my best friend and I cried together in my 36 bedroom for hours. I was miserable during the five-hour car ride to my new house. Life was 37 ．
On the first day of school, I called my best friend to tell her how it had gone. Then on Halloween, I sent her a letter and a picture of my new friends and me．
Finally, she wrote me a letter. It wasn’t 38 a letter—a piece of paper saying, “Best friends forever”．
When I finally got her e-mail address, I e-mailed her the 39 letter I have ever written. After the third e-mail with no 40 , my messages grew shorter and shorter. 41 each passing day, my 42 grew．I never received a reply from her．
Mom said that I 43 try calling my other friends, and that I didn’t need to always call her. 44 my best friend, the girl that I had known from my childhood?
My first 45 was automatic．“No way!” But after five more e-mail messages, I started to consider what my mom had 46 ．Every night for about a week, I stayed up in bed, 47 , “Should I keep trying or．．．?”
The way I looked at it was that: if I’m her best friend, she’d 48 a minute to push a few buttons on the phone, or type a short “hello” on the computer. To me, keeping in touch is part of being a friend and it is important. To her, it really didn’t seem to 49 ．
After two years of 50 , I finally got a phone call from her—my best friend. It was a big 51 ．She told me how sorry she was for not writing, and about how busy she had been. I forgot about everything that had happened and how annoyed I had been with her．I 52 her．I guess keeping in touch just isn’t her 53 ．
I have realized true friends never really lose their special 54 ．Even after two years, it felt like we had just talked yesterday.
Now she and I write regularly—or at least she tries to, 55 she tries hard.
What more could a friend ask for?

Laughter and tears are part of living. But do you find enough time for laughter? I am not asking if you 21 lost of good times. 22 we should laugh during the happy times. But do you also laugh during the 23 times?
Eram Bombeck is known for her humorous books, but she wrote one that 24 a more serious topic: 25 in children. Erma talks with many children with cancer and learns 26 life lessons from them. She learns, for instance, that cancer survivors know how to 27 .
She 28 the experience of 15-year-old Jessica from Burlinton. Jessica’s leg was cut off at the knee because of cancer. She was learning to 29 a prosthesis（假肢）. Jessica tells about playing 30 . She kicked the ball 31 and it flew off in one 32 while her artificial leg flew into another. She fell on the 33 and laughed.
Jessica may not have laughed about her cancer, but she laughed about handling the 34 of it. And her laughter helped her a deal.
There is the story of 17-year-old Betsy. She 35 her way to the radiation room for her regular radiation therapy（化疗）. As 36 , she dropped her hospital gown and, wearing only her birthday suit, 37 onto the table and waited. The extra people in the room were not the medical students she had thought, but 38 painters giving an estimate on painting! Betsy laughed heartily about the incident. And like Jessica, her 39 to laugh helped her to deal with one of the most difficult thing a young person can endure-cancer.
Do you find plenty of 40 for laughter? You can…if you also find reasons to laugh during the especially difficult times.
Survivors know how to laugh. If you can laugh even when the going is rough, you’ll make it. And you’ll smile at the end.

Tears clouded my eyes as I stood in our washing room, holding Brett’s jeans and full of burn holes.
Tired and defeated, I 21 to the floor. The clothes were just one more thing Brett had 22 .He often got almost everything in the house out of 23 .Many windows in our house needed repair due to his breaking 24 to steal money when he chose to live on the street. Yet none of this could compare to the emotional 25 Brett had done to our once quiet home.
Brett came to live with us when he was 12 years old. During the next few years I had dealt with Brett a 26 as possible, but inside I was shouting.“I don’t want him in my house another day, Lord! I just can’t 27 him!” Having wiped my tears, I continued 28 him as before.
When Brett was nearly 18, he landed again in Juvenile Hall(少管所).After that, my husband and I had to send Brett to a boarding school for helping 29 teens.
At the 30 ceremony, each graduate held a white rose to give to the person who had 31 the most to him or her.
Brett spoke 32 to his parents and then spoke to me, “You did so much. You were always there, no matter 33 .My mom and dad, I was their kid. But you, 34 troubled enough by me, always 35 me such love. And I want you to know I love you for it.”
36 , I stood as Brett placed the white rose in my hand and hugged me 37 .
At that moment, tears 38 in my eyes again, this time not for disappointment but for 39 . Although I had struggled with silent 40 toward my stepson, Brett had seen only my actions. Love is action. We may not always have positive feelings about certain people in our lives, but we can love them.

The sun was shining when I got on No. 151 bus. We passengers sat jammed in heavy clothes. No one 36 . That’s one of the unwritten rules 37 we see the same faces every day, we prefer to 38 behind our newspapers. People who sit so close together are using them to keep 39 distance.
As the bus came near the Mile, a 40 suddenly rang out, “Attention! This is your 41 speaking.” We looked at the back of the driver’s head. “Put your 42 down, all of you.” The papers came down. “Now, turn and 43 the person next to you.”
Surprisingly we all did it. Still no one smiled. I faced an old woman. I saw her 44 every day. We waited for the next 45 from the driver. “Now repeat after me. Good morning, neighbor!”
But our voices were a little 46 . For many of us, this was the 47 word we had spoken that day. When we said them together, like 48 to people beside us, we couldn’t help 49 . There was the feeling of relief. Moreover, there was the sense of ice being 50 . To say the three words was not so 51 after all.
The bus driver said nothing more. He didn’t 52 to. Not a single newspaper went back up. I heard laughter, a 53 sound I had never heard before in this bus.
When I 54 my stop, I said goodbye to my seatmate, and then 55 the bus. That day I was starting happily.

As a physician who travels quite a lot, I spend a lot of time on planes listening for that dreaded “Is there a doctor on board?” announcement. I’ve been 36 only once-for a woman who had merely fainted. But the 37 made me quite curious about how 38 this kind of thing happens. I wondered what I would do if 39 with a real mid-air medical emergency-without access 40 a hospital staff and the usual emergency equipment. So 41 the New England Journal of Medicine last week 42 a study about in-flight medical events, I 43 it with interest.
The study estimated that there are a(n) 44 of 30 in-flight medical emergencies on U.S. flights every day. Most of them are not 45 ; fainting and dizziness are the most frequent complaints. 46 13% of them-roughly four a day-are serious enough to 47 a pilot to change course. The most common of the serious emergencies 48 heart trouble, strokes, and difficult breathing.
Let’s face it: plane rides are 49 . For starters, cabin pressures at high altitudes are set at roughly 50 they would be if you lived at 5,000 to 8,000 feet above sea level. Most people can tolerate these pressures pretty 51 , but passengers with heart disease 52 experience chest pains as a result of the reduced amount of oxygen flowing through their blood. 53 common in-flight problem is deep venous thrombosis（血栓）-the so-called economy class syndrome（综合症）. 54 happens, don’t panic. Things are getting better on the in-flight emergency front. Thanks to more recent legislation（立法）, flights with at 55 one attendant are starting to install emergency medical equipments to treat heart attacks.

In a small open courtyard, outside a school building, there were flowers here and there. In the sunshine, a 36 was lying on the grass, reading a book with 37 concentration.

That 49 has been staying with me ever since. I have been 50 about some problems. Why in many schools are our children 51 asked to acquire skills in a way 52 from a real-life context(情境)? Why does a 53 school child so often become a defeated school failure?
Developmental psychologist Margaret Donald once said,” 54 of the intellectual framework (知识框架) on which we 55 our teaching is misleading.” In my opinion, a child learns everything in human situation.

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.

Be careful of those who use the truth to deceive (cheat). When someone tells you something that is true, but 36 important information that should be included, he can create a false 37 .
For Example, a man once told me, “I just won a hundred dollars on the 38 . It was great. I 39 that ticket back to the store and turned it in 40 one hundred dollars!”
This guy is a winner, right? May be, may be not. Then 41 I discovered that he bought two hundred tickets, and only one was a 42 . He was 43 a big loser!
He didn’t say anything that was false, 44 he left out important information 45 . That’s called a half—truth. Half—truths are not technically 46 , but they are just as dishonest.
Untrustworthy candidates in political campaigns often use this 47 . Let’s say that during Governor Smith’s last term, her 48 lost one million jobs and gained three million jobs. Then she sought another 49 . One of her opponents put an ad saying, “During Governor Smith’s term, the state lost one million jobs!” That’s 50 . However, an honest statement would have been quite different.
Advertisers will sometimes use half—truths. It’s 51 the law to make false claims, so they 52 to mislead you with the truth. An ad 53 blow its own horn, “Nine out of ten doctors lend Yucky Pills to cure nose pimples.” It fails to mention that they only ask ten 54 , and nine of them work for the Yucky Corporation.
This kind of 55 deception happens too often. It’s a fact of life: lies are lies, but sometimes the truth can lie as well.

The day was Thankful Thursday. It’s a 36 tradition that my two little girls and I began years ago. Thursday has become our day to go out and make a positive 37 .
My girls shouted “McDonald’s, McDonald’s” as we 38 along a busy Houston road. Suddenly I 39 that almost every crossing I passed through was 40 by a panhandler(乞丐). And then it hit me! All these panhandlers must be hungry, too. Perfect! After we ate, I ordered a(an) 41fifteen lunches and we set out to deliver them. We would pull 42 a panhandler, make a contribution, and tell him or her that we hoped things got better. Then we’d say, “Oh, 43 …here’s lunch.”
We handed our final contribution to a small woman and then immediately 44 back in the opposite direction for home. 45 , the light caught us again and we were stopped at the same crossing where this small woman stood. I was 46 and didn’t know quite how to behave.
She made her way to our car, “No one has ever done47 like this for me before,” she said with 48 . Feeling uneasy, and wanting to move the conversation along, I asked, “ So, 49 do you think you’ll eat your lunch?”

But you know what…tonight she is going to have McDonald’s!”
I don’t know if the kids 52 the tears in my eyes. So many times I had questioned whether our acts of kindness were too 53 or insignificant to really effect change. 54 in that moment, I recognized the 55 of Mother Teresa’s words: “We cannot do great things—only small things with great love.”
