A young man was getting ready to graduate from college. He had wanted a beautiful 1 in a dealer’s showroom, and knowing his father could well 2 it, he told him that was all he wanted.
As Graduation Day came near, the young man expected 3 that his father had bought the gift. 4 , on the morning of his graduation, his father called him into his own 5 . His father told him how proud he was to have such a fine son, and told him how much he loved him. He 6 his son a beautifully wrapped gift box. Curious, and somewhat 7 , the young man opened the box and found a lovely leather bound Bible，with the young man’s name written in gold. Angry, he 8 his voice to his father, and said, “With all your money you give me a Bible?” and 9 out of the house.
Many years passed and the young man was very 10 in business. He had a beautiful home and wonderful family, but 11 his father was very old, and thought perhaps he should go to see him. 12 he could make arrangements, he received a telegram 13 him his father had passed away and willed all of his 14 to his son. When he arrived at his father’s, sudden sadness and regret 15 his heart. He began to 16 his father’s important papers and saw the still new gift-wrapped Bible, just as he had 17 it years ago. With tears, he opened the Bible and began to turn the pages. His father had carefully 18 a verse(诗), Matthew 7-11,“And if you, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more shall your Heavenly Father which is in Heaven, give to those who ask Him?”
As he read those words, a car key 19 from the back of the Bible. It had a tag(标签) with the dealer’s name, the same dealer who had the sports car he had desired. On the tag was the 20 of his graduation, and the words: PAID IN FULL.

“How are you?”I asked.
“I’m just fine,honey,”she responded 47 high spirits.“When can I get started on fixing my dentures(假牙)?”
Surprised to see her at all,I answered 48 ,“Let me take a look in your mouth and we’ll see about it.”
I couldn’t believe my eyes.The cancer that had 49 nearly the entire roof of her mouth was gone—only one small area of redness 50 .
I had read of such things happening,but had 51 seen them with my own eyes.That was my first miracle.Since then I’ve seen many others,because they keep getting 52 to see.In fact,miracles are daily events for me now.And people are a miracle, 53 through them we have a chance to know ourselves and to 54 the miracles of one another.
Since my first miracle,I’ve come to understand that the time and place for a miracle is 55 we choose to find it.

We should show respect to everybody, especially our elders because they are ahead of us — in age, in wisdom and maturity, in experience and education. Our 51 have done a lot for us, directly or indirectly and most of us 52 everything to their kindness and love.
When we 53 them respect, whether it is by bowing to them, or 54 them with a smile, or offering them any help they need, it is one way of 55 our own love and gratitude to them. 56 , elders have also been through all the years you are 57 and know a little more about the world than you do.
It is 58 that you do not agree with the belief of your elders, but this is nothing new. All younger generations have always 59 with their elders and it is these differences that bring changes in human 60 . However much you disagree with them, give them credit for their 61 .
With changing times and 62 influences, youngsters no longer know what is interpreted as disrespect to elders. Youngsters should 63 express their views and if there are arguments, they should not 64 their voices.

This is not a 67 of who has more rights. It is simply that those who are younger have the strength to bear 68 , or tolerate unpleasantness, so it is natural to show consideration to those who are older and perhaps at a 69 disadvantage.
When you do simple things as a mark of respect, elders become 70 that youngsters care for them, and they respond with affection and kindness.
