The Best Holiday
I was unbelievably proud of my nine-year-old daughter. Emily 21 to buy a mountain bike. she’d been saving her pocket money all year, 22 doing small jobs to earn extra money.
By Thanksgiving, she had collected only $49. I said, “ You 23 have your pick from my bicycle 24 .” “Thanks, Daddy. But your bikes are so old.” She was right. All my girls’ bikes were 1950s models, not the kind a kid today would 25 choose.
As Christmas 26 near, Emily and I went bike shopping. As we left one store, she 27 a Salvation Army volunteer standing next to a big pot. “Can we give something, Daddy ?” she asked. “Sorry, Em , I’m out of 28 .”
Throughout December, Emily continued to 29 hard. Then one day, she made a 30 announcement. “You know all the money I’ve been saving ?” she said hesitantly. “I’m going to give it to the poor people.” So one cold morning before Christmas, Emily handed her total savings of $ 58 to a volunteer who was really very 31 .
32 by Emily’s selflessness, I decided to contribute 33 of my old bicycles to a car dealer who was collecting used bikes for poor children. 34 I selected a shiny model from my collection, however, it seemed as if a second bike took on a glow(发光). Should I contribute two? No, one would be enough. But I couldn’t 35 the feeling that I should give a second bike. When I later 36 the bikes, the car dealer said, “You’re making two kids very 37 , sir. Here are your tickets. For each bicycle contributed, we’re 38 away one chance to win a girls’ mountain bike.”
Why wasn’t I surprised when that second ticket proved to be the 39 ? I like to think it was God’s way of 40 a little girl for a sacrifice beyond her years--- while giving her dad a lesson in the process.

Learning to Accept
I learned how to accept life as it is from my father. 36__, he did not teach me acceptance when he was strong and healthy, but rather when he was 37 and ill.
My father was 38 a strong man who loved being active, but a terrible illness 39 all that away. Now he can no longer walk, and he must sit quietly in a chair all day. Even talking is 40 . One night, I went to visit him with my sisters. We started 41 about life, and I told them about one of my 42.__ .I said that we must very often give things up
43 we grow—our youth, our beauty, and our friends— but it always 44 that after we give something up, we gain something new in its place. Then suddenly my father 45 up. He said, “But, Peter, I gave up 46 ! What did I gain?” I thought and thought, but I couldn't think of anything to say. 47 , he answered his own question: “I 48 the love of my family,” I looked at my sisters and saw tears in their eyes, along with hope and thankfulness.
I was also 49 by his words. After that，when I began to feel irritated（愤怒的）at someone, I 50 remember his words and become 51 . If he could replace his great pain with a feeling of love for others, then I should be 52 to give up my small irritations. In this 53 , I learned the power of acceptance from my father.
Sometimes I 54 what other things I could have learned from him if I had listened more carefully when I was a boy. For now, though, I am grateful for this one 55 .

I was eight years old then. Looking __36__ I remember the time in a baseball field passing the team that we had just __37__ . We shook their hands and said, "Good game!"
It is __38__ to do that when you win! When you lose, you have a tendency(倾向) to slap (拍) the hand — instead of shaking it — and __39__ the ground instead of the eyes. This is not only true for an eight-year-old; it is true for adults, too.
A few years ago, in a softball league, we lost 15 games! And we thought it was __40__ . But during the " Good game" handshake after each __41__, I looked each player in the eyes and shook their hands. I couldn't look my opponents (对手) in the eyes and congratulate them on a good __42__ when I was eight. Somehow I took the loss as a __43__ on my self-worth and felt my self-confidence had been slapped; __44_- I did what most eight-year-olds do and I slapped the opponents' hands, not giving them the satisfaction of a shake. I was wrong to do this. I'm happy today as a(n) __45__ that I have learned this __46__ : There is something to be said for losing well.
__47__ it is a baseball game or an important examination, you can __48__ a lot about a person by now they deal with defeat. The person who deals with defeat as an __49__ blow is not allowing the event to define (定义) him, while someone who cannot __50__ defeat is allowing the event to __51__ his self-worth. In my opinion, when you __52__ in something— though it may be __53__ — look at your opponents in the eyes, and shake their hands in a __54__ way as you say, "Good game!" __55__ to allow the event to define your life. You might find yourself winning the next game.
