During the years of depression(萧条), food and money were very hard to find and people had to trade things with each other.
One day I was 36 some potatoes from Mr Miller. I noticed a small poor boy hungrily 37 a full basket of freshly picked green peas. Then I was 38 to see that Mr Miller sold the boy a bag of peas for just a marble (弹球).
Mrs Miller, who had been standing nearby, 39_ and told me that Mr Miller loved to trade with the three boys in the village for peas, tomatoes, and other things 40 he didn’t really need any marbles. I left the stand, smiling to myself, 41 by this man.
Several years went by. One day I learned that Mr Miller had died. I took part in the funeral(葬礼), 42_ three young men . They came over to Mrs Miller, hugged her, kissed her on the cheek, spoke with her and moved on, _43_ their eyes.
Our _44_ came to meet Mrs Miller. I mentioned _45 she had told me about the _46. She told me, “Those three young men above were the boys I told you about. They just told me 47 they appreciated the things Jim ‘traded ’with them. Now, at last, they came to pay their debt.”
“We’ve _48 had a great deal of the wealth in this world,” she _49_, “but right now, Jim wouldW#W$W%.K**S*&5︿U consider himself to be the _50_ man.”
Then she gently lifted the 51 fingers of her husband. Resting underneath were three red marbles.
At that time I realized that we would not be 52 by our words, but by our kind 53 . It is said that it takes a minute to find a 54 person, an hour to appreciate him, a day to love him, but an entire life to 55 him.

After the earthquake his northeast Japan on March 11, 2011, many touching stories that I saw with my own eyes happened around me.
I had to walk home since all the 31 had stopped after the quake. On my way home I 32 an old Japanese lady at the bakery shop who was giving out free bread, which made my heart 33 . A middle-aged Japanese man was holding a sign that said, “Please use our 34 .” He was 35 his house for people to go to the restroom.
My friend wanted to 36 others. He stood in the cold with a sign “If you are okay with a motorcycle, I will 37 you to your house.” And then I saw him take one gentleman home, all the way to faraway place!
Then the next day I drove to 38 my car with gas. There was a 39 gas now and many gasoline stations were either closed or had very 40 lines. I got 41 ,since I was behind 15 cars. Finally, when it was my 42 , the man smiled and said, “ 43 this aituation, we are only giving $ 30 worth gas per person. Is that alright?”“Of course, I’m just glad that we are all able to 44 ,” I said. His smile gave me so much 45 .
I saw a man at the evacuation(疏散) center 46 when people brought food to him, It was the first time in three days that food has been brought to their center. However, after he wiped the tears, his next 47 surprised me. “I am very 48 that we are provided with food. But people in the city next to us haven’t 49 any food at all. Please go to that centre as well.” And when hearing that, I realized there is a bright future on the other side of this 50 .

The afternoon on December 25 in the waiting room , I was the nurse on duty . When I felt sad about having to_36_on Christmas Day , a woman and four small children showed up at my desk .
“ Are you all sick ?” I asked. “ Yes,” the woman said _37_and lowered her head. But when it came to telling me about their_38_ ,things got a little surprising. They all seemed to be well and there was nothing _39_ with their body.
Why did they tell a _40_that they were all sick? I did not say anything but _41_ that it might be a little time before a doctor could _42_ them . The mother said,“Take your time.We can _43_ here. It’s so warm.” When she finished the register chart , I noticed she didn’t write down their address----were they _44_ ?
I looked at the _45_ around the Christmas tree. The children were excited and _46_ to be healthy. The littlest one was pointing at the Christmas tree and say something to the mother. Then I was sure that they came here not because of _47_ but only for warmth.
I went back to the nurses’ station and _48_ the homeless family. The nurses, _49_ about working on Christmas Day like me, turned to feel sorry for the family and decided to _50_.
We bought delicious food in the hospital restaurant and _51_ a big dinner for our guests. We needed _52_. So we put apples in a basket and collected candies and clothes. Just as we were seriously prepared to meet the physical needs of the _53_, our team worked to meet the needs of a family who just wanted to be _54_ on Christmas Day.
Later, as the family was to _55 _ , the youngest child ran to me and said,“Thank you very much. Good bye.’A choose B work C shop D clean

Just recently I had been wondering if there was much point in doing little acts of kindness. So often they get 36 , and occasionally they come back to bite you!
Then, just last week, after a long travel, I found myself 37 at a bus station. The bus was four hours late! So, I guess I wasn’t in a good 38 .
That’s when a woman asked me if I had any spare 39 to help her get a bus ticket.
“Oh, sure,” I said sarcastically (挖苦地). “How much would you like?”
As I spoke, I mentally kicked myself for my 40 and reached into my bag for some money. As I handed her five dollars, I heard low sounds from her stomach because of real 41 .
I reached back into my bag and brought out a 42 I had bought earlier. I handed it to her with a(n) 43 that I hoped would make up for my earlier tone of voice. Getting a 44 look at her now, I realized she was extremely tired, like she had had several months of 45 days!
As she took the food, a look of 46 washed over her. In return, she tried to give me a Milwaukee bus ticket! I don’t live in Milwaukee and the ticket will probably 47 be used, but I took it.
A few minutes later she came back over, apologized, and told me she was still 48 of five dollars. I took some singles out of my bag and slipped a twenty in there as well. 49 , the voice in my head told me I was being a fool.
Five minutes later she came back again and tried to 50 my twenty. When I said it was for her so she could get something else to 51 , and that I was completely serious and I wasn’t taking it 52 , she started crying and hugged me.
From now on, when I wonder if it is 53 trying to help someone, I will remember that woman. Maybe I am really making a 54 for someone. So, sure, sometimes my efforts might not be noticed, and sometimes they might come back to bite me, but they might actually 55 another human being!

He met her at a party. She was outstanding; many guys were 36 her, but nobody paid any attention to him. After the party, he invited her for coffee. She was surprised. In order not to appear 37 , she went along.
As they sat in a nice coffee shop, he was too 38 to say anything and she felt uncomfortable. Suddenly, he asked the waiter, "Could you please give me some 39 ? I'd like to put it in my coffee."
They stared at him. He turned 40 , but when the salt came, he put it in his coffee and drank. 41 , she asked, "Why salt with coffee?" He explained, "When I was a little boy, I lived near the sea. I liked playing on the sea ... I could feel its taste salty, like salty coffee. Now 42 I drink it, I think of my childhood and my hometown. I 43 it and my parents, who are still there."
She was deeply touched. A man who can admit that he's homesick must love his home and 44 his family. He must be responsible.
She talked too, about her faraway hometown, her childhood, her family. That was the start to their love story.
They continued to 45 . She found that he met all her 46 . He was tolerant, kind, warm and careful. She would have missed the catch if not for the salty coffee!
So they 47 and lived happily together. And every time she made 48 for him, she put in some salt, the way he liked it.
After 40 years, he passed away and left her a letter which said:
My dearest, please 49 my life-long lie. Remember the first time we dated? I was so nervous I asked for salt instead of 50 .
It was hard for me to ask for a 51 , so I just went ahead. Many times, I tried to tell you the truth, but I was afraid that it would 52 everything.
Sweetheart, I don't exactly like salty coffee. But as it 53 so much to you, I've learnt to enjoy it. Having you 54 me was my greatest happiness. If I could live a second time, I hope we can be together again, 55 it means that I have to drink salty coffee for the rest of my life.

Are you a man or a mouse? When people ask this question they want to know __36_ you think you are a _37_ person or a coward(懦夫). But you will never really know the answer to this question __38__ you are tested in real life. Some people __39__ they are brave but when they come face to face with real __40_ , they act like cowards. Others think of themselves as cowards, but when they meet danger, they act like __41_.
Lenny had always thought of himself as a __42__ person. He got worried before examinations. He worried about his job and his health.

He saw a woman in the __44__ water. Lenny did not feel afraid. He kept very __45__ and did a very courageous thing. He jumped into Potomac, __46__ to the woman, and kept her head __47__ the water. Seventy-eight people died that day. Thanks to Lenny, it was not __48__ .
When you are in a very __49__ situation and feel afraid, the body automatically（自动地）produces a chemical in the blood. This chemical is called adrenalin(肾上激素). __50__ adrenalin in the blood system, you actually feel stronger and stronger and are __51__ to fight or run away. However, when you are absolutely terrified, the body can produce too much adrenalin. When this __52__ , the muscles become very hard and you find you __53__ move at all. You are paralyzed(使无能为力) with fear. This is __54__ when we are very frightened, we sometimes say we are ‘petrified’, this word comes from a Greek word ‘petros’, which means ‘stone’.

Have you ever heard the story of the four-

These 7 show the power of beliefs．There is no other more 8 force in directing human behavior than belief．Our beliefs have the power to 9 and to destroy．

Belief is not 13 , however．It’s nothing but the generalization of a past incident．As a kid, if a dog bit you, you believed all dogs to be 14 ．To change certain behavior, identify the beliefs associated with it．Change those beliefs and a new pattern is 15 created．

I’ve always had strong opinions of how love should be expressed, but others had their own ways of showing care.
What I 36 most about visiting my boyfriend’s parents is the loud tick of the clock in the dining room as we 37 ate our meal. With so little conversation I was quick to 38 his family as cold. When we got into the 39 to go home, his father suddenly appeared. 40 , he began to wash his son’s windscreen. I could feel he was a caring man through the glass.
I learned another lesson about love a few years later. My father often 41 me early in the morning. “Buy Xerox. It’s a good sharp price,” he might say when I answered the phone. No pleasant 42 or inquiry about my life, just financial instructions. This manner of his 43 me and we often quarreled. But one day, I thought about my father’s success in business and realized that his concern for my financial security lay behind his 44 morning calls. The next time he called and told me to buy a stock, I 45 him.
When my social style has conflicted with that of my friends, I’ve often felt 46 . For example, I always return phone calls 47 and regularly contact with my friends. I expect the same from them. I had one friend who rarely called, answering my messages with short e-mails. I rushed to the 48 : She wasn’t a good friend! My anger 49 as the holidays approached. But then she came to a gathering I 50 and handed me a beautiful dress I had fallen in love with when we did some window-shopping the previous month. I was 51 at her thoughtfulness, and regretful for how I’d considered her to be 52 . Clearly I needed to change my expectations of friends.
Far too often, I ignored their 53 expressions, eagerly expecting them to do things in my 54 . Over the years, however, I’ve learned to 55 other persons, love signs.

As Christmas is coming, there are presents to be bought, cards to be sent, and rooms to be cleaned. Parents are faced with difficult jobs of hiding presents from curious young children.

He moved on the hands and knees into the room dragging a large balloon. We were woken up 25 by them at this time.

Even after many years, she still has not forgotten the last day her whole class got together to say goodbye to their dearest schooldays. Those 36 memories always become vivid every time nostalgia (怀旧) drives her feet towards the old 37 , only to find a big old tree with all of their names carved deep into the 38 and the new school houses.
Time has changed each fate beyond any 39 .The jolly "dwarf"(快乐的矮子) of the class has now turned into a 40 businessman. The shy, skinny "bookworm" is now a talented Ph. D.
