All he wanted was some juice. As high school students sat in a cafeteria on that cloudy afternoon, he was 36__. We sat near yet away from him, fixing our hair and 37__ about the test period we hadn’t studied for. He was far away from our world, but was 38__ to be a part of it.
He stood at the drink machine on purpose, fumbling(摸索）in his fake（假的）leather wallet for some 39__. He 40__ a wrinkled dollar bill, and 41__ glanced back at his table where other students were sitting. With the help of a six-year-old, he tried to make the machine__42 his money. After a few unsuccessful 43 , the snicker（窃笑）and comment began. People were laughing. Some were even throwing things at him. He began to __44 , and his eyes misted with tears. I saw him turn to sit down, 45__. But for some reason, he decided to try again. He wasn’t leaving until he got a 46__.
With a determined expression, he continued to 47 thrust（插入）the dollar bill into the machine
. Then something terrific happened. A popular senior girl 48 from her seat, 
and with a(an) 49 of genuine compassion(同情), went over to the boy. She explained why the machine had a hard time accepting dollars sometimes, then gave him some change

Although it was __52__ that they were from very different __53__, for one moment, they had shared a real understanding. As I walked away from my lunch table that day, I looked at the boy. I remembered thinking how he and the 54 were very much alike, they both weren’t accepted. But just 55 the dollar had found a place in a caring girl’s pocket, I was sure that boy would finally find his, too.

Have you ever had to decide whether to go shopping or stay home and watch TV o
n a weekend? Now you 36 do both at the same time. Home shopping television networks(网络) have become a 37 for many people to shop without 38 having to leave their homes.
Some shoppers are 39 of department stores and supermarkets—40 the crowds, waiting in long lines, and sometimes 41 of finding anything they want to buy. They’d rather sit quietly at home in front of the TV set and 42 a friendly announcer describe a product 43 a model shows it. And they can 44 around the clock, buying something 45 by making a phone call.
Department stores and even mail-under companies are 46 to join in the success of home shopping. Large department stores are busy 47 their own TV channels(频道)to encourage TV shopping in the future. 48 can ask questions about products and place 49 , all through their TV sets.
Will shopping by television 50 take the place of shopping in stores? Some industry managers think so. 51 many people find shopping at a 52 store a great enjoyment. And for many shoppers, it is still important to 53 or try on dresses they want to buy. That’s 54 specialists say that in the future, home shopping will 55 together with store shopping but will never entirely replace(取代) it.

One day, Miss Ellis gave her pupils a new kind of homework: homework on happiness. Her pupils would be “happiness 1 ”, and were to see what would happen when they tried to bring happiness to those around them. As part of their homework, all the students did really 2 , wonderful things, but what Carla Chalmers did left everyone 3 . Several days after the homework had been handed out, Carla turned up carrying a big bag.
“Here in this bag I have all the happiness I’ve collected so far,” she said 4 . On seeing this, everyone was filled with 5 , but Carla didn’t want to show anyone what was in the bag. Instead, she pulled out a small box and gave it to her teacher. When Miss Ellis had taken the box, Carla took a(n) 6 camera out of her own pocket and stood with it at the ready.
“Open it, Miss Ellis.”
The teacher slowly opened the box and looked inside. A big smile 7 on her face, and at that moment Carla took a photo, Carla’s photo came out of the camera immediately, and she 8
it to Miss Ellis along with a sheet of paper. The teacher read the paper in silence, and when she, had finished, she gestured at the 9 .
“Oh, so it’s…”
“Yes!” 10 Carla, opening the bag. “It’s a great big pile of smiles!”
She opened the bag and photos of different 11 fell out.
The rest of the class tried to 12 how Carla had managed to create such a great big chain of happiness. All there in the box was a photo of a big smile. But everyone who had seen it felt happiness being transmitted（传送）to them, and in return, without 13 , every person 14 with a smile of their own.
She managed to 15 understanding of the smile truth that every time you smile you are sending a gift to the world.

Mickey was a cheerful boy. He didn’t 36 whatever people said to him. He never 37
anyone. Even our teachers liked his 38 . I always wondered why he never got 39 . I found the secret in his bedroom．，
When I first came to Mickey’s house, I was 40 to the wall of his bedroom．The huge wall was a unique collage (拼贴画) of thousands of 41 and shapes! “Some people at school think I never think 42 of anyone.”Mickey started to 43 to me, “and that nothing at all bothers me, but that’s not 44 . I used to get angry easily. But years ago, 45 the help of my parents．I started a small collage．I could 46 any kind of material and color for it．On every little piece I stuck I 47 some bad thoughts.”
I looked 48 atthe wall. In each one of the small pieces I could read，in tiny 49 , “fool”, “idiot”, “pain”,“ 50 ”, and a thousand other negative thing.
“Now I like the collage so much that, each time someone makes me angry, I couldn’t be 51 . They’ve given me a new piece for my work of art.”
I never 52 how an ordinary classmate had shown me the secret of changing the 53 times into a chance to smile．On that very day, I began my own 54 . I recommended it to my friends and we all became more 55 ．

Our thoughts, words, and actions often cause harm to others and to us． Without reconciliation
（和解）, we cannot deepen our understanding and only cause more suffering． "Beginning Anew" is
a（n） 36 of reconciliation． It involves three steps ---- sharing appreciation, expressing 37 , and expressing hurt and difficulties．
In the first step, we share appreciation． We acknowledge the 38 qualities of the other person． The second step -- expressing regret, is to 39 with the other person our regrets for the things we have done or said that might have caused him or her 40 ． This requires humility （谦逊）, and the 41 to let go of our own pride． In the third step, we 42 our own hurt with mindf
ul and loving 43 without blaming or criticizing． We speak in such a way that the other person can listen and 44 our words． If we 45 the other person, his heart will 46 and he will not be able to hear us． We ask the other person to help us to understand 47 he has spoken and acted as he has , causing us so much pain． Perhaps, later, he can share his feelings 48 we can understand him more deeply． If a strong 49 arises in us while we are expressing our suffering, we should simply 50 and come back to our breathing until the emotion becomes 51 ． The other person can 52 us by following his breathing until we are ready to continue． We can enjoy pr
acticing 
"Beginning Anew" with our partner, our family, or our friends 53 ． By doing this, we will 54 misunderstandings from accumulating． Rather, we will take care of them as they arise, 55 we take care of our children．

People often fall ill because of me. 36 , they can hardly blame me; it is largely their own 37 . A tired person may get 38 , especially when he goes to crowded places with polluted air. A sudden change in 39 is another factor. In hot summer, people turn on the air-conditioner upon returning home. They will catch a cold easily.
My latest victim is an energetic student. After school, he played football hard for two hours. Though 40 . He still went to the cinema. Then he got back home and took a cold shower immediately.
I seized this golden chance to 41 him. He reacted, trying to 42 me, but I was already 43 deep in his throat. He kept sneezing(打喷嚏) and his nose was running. 44 he put on some warm clothes, it didn’t work, for there were too many of us. Besides, his sore throat kept 45 him, and he developed a cough to force me and my family out, but 46 .
The next day he couldn’t go to 47 .He had lost his appetite and was not as 48 as before. His mother made him orange juice every few hours for more vitamin C, which would help his 49 .
For two days he was 50 by his mother. As he rested more, his defense strengthened and I began lo feel the 51 . I knew I had to 52 him before long. But I am not the one who gives up easily, and I made every effort to fight back. 53 , it was my turn to feel 54 now, for his defense system was starting an all-out attack against me. I became 55 and finally my time was over.

Temperature is part of my married romance. 36 to New York from Baltimore——where there is just one small snowstorm each year——I was seated by a fireplace in my new home, with fires 37 all day, just as what ancient people did at a wedding.
My husband, Peter, comes from northern Ontario（加拿大的安大略省）, where winter 38 from September to May and cold wind is 39 . “When Canadians have -30℃, they 40 it bravely,” he says, “Cold wind is for crybabies.（爱哭的人）”
So to marry this man I had to learn to 41 for serious cold. To get me from Baltimore’s Inner Harbor to Albany’s frozen Hudson, Peter piled me 42 jackets and sweaters, scarves and gloves, even a hat with earflaps. The gift of Sorel boots——comfortably warm at Canada’s 30 below, was a 43 meaning getting serious.
That first winter together, living in upstate New York, I thought I’d 44 . My boots were good below freezing, but my fingers could 45 tie them. Physical adaptation is real, but it came slowly. And there is also emotional 46 to cold. Some days I tell myself that I have enough beach memories to stick to on 47 days and other days I am reminded that living cold does indeed build 48 .
49 , having a warm house is important. After my first marriage ended, for years I 50 went on a second date with a man whose response to my “I’m cold.” was, “Put on a sweater.” Now I’m married to a man who 51 that cold hands do not mean a warm heart, and that a big oil bill is better than roses. But surprisingly, I’ve grown, too. I am 52 , in this new life and climate, to go and look for that cost-saving sweater.
The word comfortable did not 53 refer to being satisfied. It’s from Latin, comfortare, meaning to strengthen. The Holy Spirit is Comforter；not
to make us comfortable, but to make us 54 . We 55 not be warm but we are indeed comforted.

It was a cold winter’s night when I stopped for gas on my way home from work. I was tired and had a slight 36 .
I worked in a 37 doctor’s office and this was one of those days when the unexpected happened, making the schedule run 38 than usual. It seemed I was going to be late 39 home and my husband, being the 40 person, would be ready to pronounce me late once again. Maybe 41 I hurried, I could still make it home.
I was heading inside to 42 for my gas when I noticed an older couple at the counter. I heard them asking for 43 to the local hospital. It was the same hospital that I had just 44 a few minutes ago.
The young man at the counter was trying to be 45 in explaining how to get there, with two other people making 46 . One of them was 47 trying to give them a whole different route back. It was then that I walked over to the couple and said, “Would you like to follow me to the 48 ?”
A look of 49 crossed the woman’s face.
“I’m going right by there,” I said, which wasn’t a(an) 50 since I had just made up my mind to do 51 that.
I got in my car and began the journey back. I was trying to watch to be sure they were right 52 me. It took only fifteen minutes to get there as rush hour traffic was beginning to 53 . I felt better than I had all day and my headache was nearly gone.
Later, as I arrived home, my husband 54 , “So you aren’t ever late any more.”
I said, “Sometimes it’s 55 to be late.”

My family came to America in 1985. _21_ of us spoke a word of English. Each morning
I disliked going to school for fear of not __22__what people were saying.
Very soon my mother noticed something was__23__me. The pain and care I saw in her
moonshaped eyes made me burst into tears. I explained to her the __24__I had of going to school. “Learning English is not __25__，” my mother said. She cheerfully __26__the two of us work together to learn the language at home. The__27__and determination my mother had were admirable because English was as __28__ to her as it was to me.
That afternoon，I saw my mother in a different light as she __29__me by the school
fence. She was the shortest of all the mothers there， 30 , her face with her welcoming smile and big，black eyes was the most __31__. The afternoon sun shone__32__on her long，black hair creating an atmosphere that made her different from others.
My mother and I immediately began reading together and __33__five new words a
day. My mother，with her encouraging attitude，made the routine (惯例) fun and interesting. The fact that she was sacrificing (牺牲) her__34__ time before going to work so that I could learn English made me see the __35__she owned. Very soon I began to understand what everyone was saying.

A few weeks ago, I followed a friend into an art supply store．I found him picking out tubes of water-color paint, which __36__ me because he’s not an artist.
"I 37 up for a water-color class, and it starts next week," he said．"I really don’t have 38_ for it, but it was on my list of 50 things to do before I die, so I _39__ it．Every few months I look at the list and decide what to focus on next． 40 I had the list, I complained a lot about what I was 41 _ in my life．Now I just bury myself in doing these things．Write your own list．and you’ll 42 what I mean．"
So that night．I did just that, and he was right．The list revealed （显露出） a whole lot about what was __43__ to me．It also revealed how _44___ behind I am at getting to the things I really want．
I filled up the first twenty __45__ quickly, but then began to think carefully．
Eventually I __46_ items I’ve thought about for years, and __47__ I’ve carried with me since I was young．When I 48 the list later, some entries surprised me．
First, I want to _ 49_ much more, particularly now that my children are 50_ and can go with me to see the world．I would like to take them to bike through Denmark and camp in the Canadian Rockies．
I’m also surprised to _51_ some things on the list that need to be done soon．If I’m going to learn to roller-blade （轮滑）, __52_, I’d better start before I turn 50．
Like my friend, I now have an alternative to __53__．When I’m bored with life, I take out my list．
My friend told me the _54_ was preparing the ground so that life could work in mysterious ways．"If you want your ship to come in, you must build a dock （码头）," he said．
Thanks to my _55__, I’m working on some big docks．

My ears are recently full of joyous remarks from my friends such as, “oh, Beckham is so handsome, so cool, that I can’t help falling in love with him!” or “what perfect skills he has!” Yeah, I agree 21 some degree, though I sometimes do want to ask them how much they 22 Beckham, apart from his appearance and how much they know about football 23 scoring goals.

I grew up poor – living with six brothers, my father and a wonderful mother．We had 26 money and few worldly goods, but plenty of love and attention．I was 27 and energetic．I understood that no matter how poor a person was, they could 28 afford a dream．
My dream was to be a 29 ．When I was sixteen, I could crush a baseball, throw a ninety – mile – per – hour fastball．I was also 30 : my high – school coach was Ollie Jarvis, who 31 me the difference between having a dream and showing strong belief．One particular 32 with him changed my life forever．
It was a summer and a friend recommended me for a summer 33 ．This meant a chance for my first income – cash for a new bike and new clothes, and the 34 of savings for a house for my mother．The opportunity was attracting, and I wanted to 35 at it．
Then I realized I would have to 36 summer baseball to handle the work schedule, and that meant I would have to tell Coach Jarvis I wouldn’t be playing．I was 37 about this．
When I told Coach Jarvis, he was as 38 as I expected him to be．“You have your whole life to work,” he said．“Your 39 days are limited．You can’t afford to waste them．”
I stood before him with my head 40 , trying to think of how to explain to him why my dream of buying my mom a house and having money in my pocket was worth 41 his disappointment in me．
“How much are you going to make at this job?” he demanded．
“$ 3．25 an hour,” I replied．
“Well, is $ 3．25 an hour the price of a 42 ?” he asked．
That 43 laid bare for me the difference between wanting something right now and having a goal．I devoted myself to 44 that summer, and within the year I was offered a $ 20,000 contract．I signed with the Denver Broncos in 1984 for $ 1．7 million, and bought my mother the 45 of my dreams．
