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?

I stood up and walked between the tables.

I’m 26 ,” hw said. He was chatting online and, 27 , he was playing a computer game-a war game. I was 28 .

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 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.

On May 27, 1995, our life was suddenly changed. It happened a few minutes past three, 36 my husband, Chris, fell from his horse as it 37 over a fence. Chris was paralyzed (瘫痪) from the chest down, 38 to breathe normally. As he was thrown from his horse, we entered into a life of 39 with lots of unexpected challenges( 挑战). We went from the "haves" to the “have-nots". Or so we thought.
40 what we discovered later were all the gifts that came out of 41 difficulties. We came to learn that something 42 could happen in a disaster . All over the world people 43 Chris so much that letters and postcards poured in every day. By the end of the third week in a 44 center in Virginia, about 35,000 pieces of 45 had been received and sorted.
As 46 , we opened letter after letter. They gave us 47 and became a source of strength for us. We used them to 48 ourselves. I would go to the pile of letters marked with "Funny" if we needed a 49 , or to the "Disabled" box to find advice from people in wheelchairs or 50 in bed living happily and 51 .
These letters, we realized, had to be shared. And so 52 we offer one of them to you.
Dear Chris,
My husband and I were so sorry to hear of your 53 accident last week. No doubt your family and your friends are giving you the strength to face this 54 challenge. People everywhere are also giving you best wishes every day and we are among those who are keeping you 55 .
Yours Sincerely,
Nancy Reagan

Until 1954 it was thought that no man could run one mile in less than four minutes. As years 36 ,the record came closer and closer to four minutes and Roger Bannister, a young English 37 ,began to believe be might 38 this almost magic barrier.
It was a cold afternoon on May 6th, 1954 , when Bannister knew be had a 39 chance. Bannister had been 40 hard and was very fit, but the weather conditions were a real 41 to him. Describing the 42 later, Bannister said,“On the way to the track the wind blew strongly. As I 43 for the start I glanced at the flag. It moved 44 now. This was the moment when I made my decision. ”
“The gun fired. My legs 45 to meet no resistance, as if I was 46 forward by some unknown force. The noise from the faithful 47 gave me greater strength. I felt the 48 of a lifetimes had come. ”
“I was driven on by a 49 of fear and pride. My body had long since used up all its energy 50 it went on running just the same. This was the critical moment when my legs were strong enough to carry me over the last few yards as they 51 could have done in previous years. When I leapt at（冲向）the 52 tape, I fell, almost 53 .
“I knew I had done it, even before I 54 the time. The announcement came. ‘Result of the one mile…Time, three minutes…’the test was 55 in the noise of excitement. ”

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 ! I thought that perhaps if I opened the curtains I might be able to use whatever light comes in from the 9 to find another lamp. So I 10 my way slowly across the room to the curtains and... no drawstring! I finally stumbled（跌跌撞撞地走）around 11 I found a desk lamp which actually 12 !
