It was New Year's night. An aged man was standing at a window. He 36 his mournful eyes towards the deep blue sky, where the stars were 37 like white lilies (百合花) on the surface of a clear calm lake. Then he threw them on the earth, where a few more hopeless people than himself now moved towards their certain destination—the 38 . He had already passed sixty of the 39 leading to it, and he had brought from his journey nothing but error and regret. Now his health was poor, his mind 40 , his heart sorrowful, and his old age short of 41 .
The days of his youth appeared like dreams before him, and he recalled the 42 moment when his father placed him at the 43 to the two roads-one leading to a peaceful, sunny place,
44 with flowers, fruits and resounding with soft, sweet songs; 45 leading to a deep, dark cave, which was endless, 46 poison flowed instead of water and where devils(恶魔) and poisonous snakes hissed and crawled.
He saw the lights fading away in the darkness, and these were the days of his 47 life; He saw a star fall from the sky and disappeared, and this was the 48 of himself. His 49 , which was like a sharp arrow, struck deeply into his heart. Then he remembered his friends in his childhood, who entered on life together with him. But they had 50 to success and were now honored and happy on this New Year's night.
The clock in the high church tower struck and the sound made him remember his parents' early love for him. They had taught him and 51 to God for his good. But he chose the 52
way. With shame and grief he 53 no longer look towards that heaven where his father lived. His darkened eyes were full of tears, and 54 a despairing effort, he 55 out a cry, "Come back, my early days! Come back!"

When a person is curious about something, it means he is interested in it and wishes to know something about it. There is 31 wrong with curiosity(好奇) in itself. Whether it is good or bad 32 on what people are curious about.
Curiosity sometimes can be foolish or wrong. Some people with nothing to do are 33 of curiosity about what their neighbors are doing. They have a strong wish to know what they are 34 home or taking outside, or why they have come home so 35 or late. To be interested in these things is foolish because it is none of their business to know what their neighbors do or are doing. Such curiosity is not only foolish but also 36 . For most probably, it may lead to a small talk 37 often brings harm, loss of honor or disrespect (不尊重) to others, and thus 38 their feelings.
On the other hand, there is a 39 curiosity --- the curiosity of wise men, who wonder at all the great things and try to find out all they 40 learn about them. Columbus could 41 have found America if he had not been 42 . James Watt would not have made the steam engine (蒸汽机) 43 his curiosity about the rising of the kettle lid (水壶盖). All the discoveries in human history have been made as a 44 of curiosity, so the clever curiosity is never about unimportant things which have 45 or nothing to do with the happiness of the public.

My parents passed away ten years ago and I miss them terribly. But I know they are with me every day in what they taught me and in the 36 they gave me. Every morning my father’s message to me was: Remember that 37 you walk out of this door, you carry responsibility, the good name of this family, the hopes and dreams of your mom and dad. My mother often urged me to 38 the high standards she set for me.
When I was in high school, I played in a rock band with friends in my class. We were devoted and practiced constantly. We moved past the guys – in – a – garage stage and 39 to be pretty good, doing getting – paid gigs (演奏会) most weekends, which made me 40 . At that time, though part of me was 41 up in that band, another part of me was the oldest son in the Clark family, 42 of my origin and a dedicated student busy applying to colleges. Without even telling my parents, I applied to Harvard. I didn’t think I had much chance of getting in, 43 I wanted to try. So I was riding around being Mr Cool Rock Musician half of the time, and the other half I was focused on family and 44 goals. I was running on parallel 45 .
When the group won a city wide Battle of the Bands, things heated up. My band mates had stars in their eyes – we might be able to make it big. However, I began to feel 46 . I realized I was on quite different tracks: I 47 was becoming two people, 48 identities back and forth depending on who I was with. I had to make an option. As I considered my 49 , my parents’ words were right there, helping me to see that my dreams weren’t about signing a record deal, letting my hair grow, and living in a tour bus. So I 50 out. My bandmasters were 51 . They thought I was crazy to withdraw 52 the peak of real success. But however successful that band got, I knew it wasn’t in line with my 53 , with my feeling of what I was 54 to do, with who I was – it simply wasn’t me.
In that instant and in many others throughout my life, my parent’s advice has helped me recenter and 55 . I could remember who I was – the hopes and dreams I carried.

I think we should try to find a happy memory, something to lift us up on those unpleasant days. I'm saying this because I think I just found mine!
I had some work in Glasgow then. I was on a really 36 schedule, which meant I would have no time for myself all day.

When I got closer, I saw a white 49 hanging from her elbow and noticed that she had sunken eyes. She was 50 , dirty and living on tile streets. I came closer and through the 51 of the traffic I heard her 52 the immortal (不朽的)line, "... and I think to myself, what a wonderful world!"
I bought her last magazine for twice what I'd originally 53 . She thanked me, then she 54_ her belongings and went tapping off along the pavement – still singing!

I was working in a store three years ago. I remember one girl who started 36 there a few months after me. I remember always meeting her. I don’t know 37 but for a strange reason we would never talk. We would just see each other and smile.
She would 38 smile in a really happy way until one day when we got to work in the 39 department again. She 40 as if she was the happiest girl in the world. But I had a strange feeling.

Today this girl is one of my best 49 . I really don’t know what I would do 50

I guess what I’m trying to say is you 51 know when you’re helping yourself. I
52 this girl never knowing that at the same time I was helping myself by finding a(n)

Now I could feel my palms sweat and my throat tighten. Why is it so 50 to tell a son something from the heart?
My mouth turned dry, but finally I said, “Daniel, if I could have picked, I would have picked you.” That's all I could say. He hugged me. For a moment, the world 51 , and there were just Daniel and me. He was saying something, but I couldn't hear, for tears misted my eyes. All I was 52 of was the stubble(短须) on his chin as his face pressed 53 mine. What I had said to Daniel was short and 54 . It was nothing to others. However, it was 55 to me.
