My job was to make classroom observations and encourage a training program that would enable students to feel good about themselves and take charge of their lives. Donna was one of the volunteer teachers who participated in this 36 .
One day, I entered Donna’s classroom, took a seat in the back of the room and 37 . All the students were working 38 a task. The student next to me was filling her page with “I Can’ts.” “I can’t kick the soccer ball.” “I can’t get Debbie to like me.” Her page was half full and she showed no 39 of stopping. I walked down the row and found 40 was writing sentences, describing things they couldn’t do.
By this time the activity aroused my 41 , so I decided to check with the teacher to see what was going on 42 I noticed she too was busy writing. “I can’t get John’s mother to come for a parents’ meeting.” …… I felt it best not to 43 .
After another ten minutes, the students were 44 to fold the papers in half and bring them to the front. They placed their “I Can’t” statements into an empty shoe box. Then Donna
45 hers. She put the lid on the box, tucked it under her arm and headed out the door. Students followed the teacher. I followed the students. Halfway down the hallway Donna got a shovel from the tool house, and then marched the students to the farthest corner of the playground. There they began to 46 . The box of “I Can’ts” was placed at the 47 of the hole and then quickly covered with dirt. At this point Donna announced, “Boys and girls, please join hands and 48 your heads.” They quickly formed a circle around the grave.
Donna delivered the eulogy (悼词). “Friends, we gathered here today to 49 the memory of ‘I Can’t.’ He is 50 by his brothers and sisters ‘I Can’ and ‘I Will’. May ‘I Can’t’ rest in 51 . Amen!”
She turned the students 52 and marched them back into the classroom. They celebrated the 53 of “I Can’t”. Donna cut a large tombstone from paper. She wrote the words “I Can’t” at the top and the date at the bottom, then hung it in the classroom. On those rare occasions when a student 54 and said, “I Can’t,” Donna 55 pointed to the paper tombstone. The student then remembered that “I Can’t” was dead and chose other statement.

It’s never easy to admit you are in the wrong. Being human, we all need to know the art of 31 . Look back with honesty and think how often you’ve judged 32 , said unkind things, pushed yourself ahead at the 33 of a friend. Then count the occasions 34 you indicated clearly and truly that you were 35 . A bit frightening, isn’t it?

Then and there the wise old doctor made the man write to his brother 44 forgiveness and enclosing a cheque as the first step in restoring their good 45 . He then went with him to mail box in the corridor. As the letter disappeared, the man 46 crying. “Thank you,” He said, “I think I’m 47 .” And he was. A heartfelt apology can not only heal a damaged relationship but also make it 48 . If you can think of someone who 49 an apology from you, someone you have wronged, or just neglected, do something about it 50 .

When I was fifteen, I announced to my English class that I was going to write my own books. Half the students smiled unkindly, 36 nearly fell out of their chairs laughing. “Don’t be 37 , only geniuses can become writers,” the English teacher said, “And you are getting a D this term.” I was so ashamed I burst into 38 . That night I wrote a short sad poem about broken dreams and mailed it to the newspaper. To my 39 , they published it and sent me two dollars. I was a published and paid writer. I showed my teacher and fellow students. They laughed, “Just plain dumb luck,” the teacher said. I 40 success. I’d sold the first thing I’d 41 written.

During the next two years I sold dozens of poems and letters. By the time I graduated from high school, I had scrapbooks (剪贴簿) 42 my published works. I never 43 my writing to my teachers, friends or my family 44 because they were dream killers.

I was on a bus one March evening. The driver didn’t 36 to start the bus soon because it was not yet 37 . A middle-aged woman got on. Tired and sad, she told her story 38 , not to anyone in particular. On her way to the station, half of her 39 was stolen. The other half was hidden under her blouse, so she 40 still had some left. A few minutes later, she stopped crying, but still looked 41 .
When all the seats were taken, the driver started the engine. The conductor began to collect fares(车费). When she came to an old man in worn-out clothes, he 42 that he had spent all his money when he had accidentally got on a wrong bus and now he was trying to go home. On hearing this, she ordered the old man to 43 the bus. The old man was almost in tears as he 44 her to let him take the bus home. The driver took the conductor’s side and repeated the conductor’s 45 .
The woman was watching the incident. 46 the driver and the conductor raised their voices at the old man, she interfered(干预).
“Stop 47 him! Can’t you see he’s only trying to get home?”
“He doesn’t have any money! ” the driver 48 .
“Well, that’s no 49 to throw him off the bus,” she insisted.
Then she reached inside her blouse, took out her 50 money, and handed it to the conductor. “Here’s his fare and mine. Just stop giving him a 51 time.”
All heads turned to the woman. “It’s only money,” she shrugged.
She rode the rest of the way home 52 a happy smile, with the money she’d lost earlier 53 .
On the road of life, the help of strangers can 54 our loads and lift our spirits. How much sweeter the 55 will be when we make it a little smoother for others!

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.
If there is no space on sofas or chairs, children will immediately 65 their places, and sit on the carpet. In buses and trains, youngsters are 66 to give up their places to older people. 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.
A．youngsters B．elders C．parents D．juniors
A．devote B．owe C．pay D．contribute
A．show B．explain C．exhibit D．point
A．greeting B．receiving C．declaring D．showing
A．expressing B．describing C．sending D．suggesting

A．experiencing with B．going through C．suffering from D．worrying out
A．maybe B．likely C．possible D．probably

“How did you do it, Dad? How have you 21 not to take a drink for almost 20 years?” It took me almost 20 years to have the 22 to even ask my father this very 23 question. When Dad first 24 drinking, the whole family was on pins and needles 25 he got into a situation that, in the past, would have started him drinking again. For a few years we were 26 to bring it up for fear that the drinking would begin again.
“I had this little 27 that I would recite to myself 28 four to five times a day” was Dad’s 29 to my 18 – year – old unasked question. “The 30 were an instant relief and constant reminder to me that things were never so 31 that I could not handle them,” Dad said. And then he 32 the poem with me. The poem’s simple, yet profound （深奥的） words 33 became part of my daily routine as well.
About a month after this talk with my father, I 34 a gift in the mail from a friend of mine. It was a book of affirmations（断言）with one affirmation listed for each 35 of the year.
I 36 opened the book to the page of my birthday to see what words of wisdom this book had in store for me. 37 of disbelief and appreciation rolled down my face. There, on my birthday, was the 38 poem that had helped my 39 for all these years! It is called The Serenity Prayer.
God, give me the Serenity （平静）to accept the things I cannot change, the Courage to 40 the things I can, and the Wisdom to know the difference.
