During my second year at the city college, I was told that the education department was offering a "free" course, called Thinking Chess, for three credits. I        4 1       the idea of taking the class because, after all, who doesn't want to        4 2       a few dollars? More than that, I'd always wanted to learn chess. And, even if I weren't        4 3       enough about free credits, news about our        4 4       was appealing enough to me. He was an international grandmaster, which        4 5       I would be learning from one of the game's        4 6      ,I could hardly wait to        4 7       him.

Maurice Ashley was kind and smart, a former graduate returning to teach, and this        4 8       was no game for him; he meant business. In his introduction, he make it        4 9       that our credits would be hard-earned. In order to         5 0       the class, among other criteria, we had to write a paper on how we plan to         5 1       what we would learn in class to our future professions and         5 2      , to our lives. I managed to get an A in that         5 3       and learned life lessons that have served me well beyond the         5 4      .

Ten years after my chess class with Ashley, I'm still putting to use what he         5 5       me: "The absolute most important         5 6       that you learn when you play chess is how to make good         5 7      .On every single move you have to         5 8       a situation, process what your opponent(对手) is doing and         5 9       the best move from among all your options." These words still ring true today in my         6 0       as a journalist.

Everyone in the class answered loudly，“Yes．” The expert said，“Really？” He         under the table and pulled out a bucket of gravel (砾石)．He put some gravel in and      the jar， causing it to go down into the      between the big rocks． He then asked the group once more，“Is this jar full？”
“       not，” one of them answered this time．“Good！” he replied． From under the table he brought out a bucket of sand and started        the sand in the jar and it went into all of the spaces left        the rocks and the gravel． Once more he asked the question，“Is this jar full？”
“No！” the class shouted． Once again he said，“Good． ” Then he        a cup of water in        the jar was full． Then he looked at the class and asked，“What is the        here？”
Immediately one       student raised his hand and said，“The point is， no matter how full your      is， if you try really hard you can always fit   .things in！” “No，” the expert replied，“that’s not the point． The point is if you don’t put the big rocks in       ，you’ll never get them in       ．What are the ‘big rocks’ in your       ？Time with your loved ones， your education， or your dreams？Remember to put these big rocks in first or you’ll never get them in at all，      you’ll never have the real quality time you need to spend on the big， important things．”

When I was a kid, my mom liked to make breakfast food for dinner every now and then. And I remember one night        when she had made dinner after a long, hard day at    .
On that evening so long ago, my mom         a plate of eggs, sausage and extremely burned toast in front of my dad. I remember       to see if anyone noticed!        all my dad did was reach for his toast,        at my mom and ask me how my day was at school… I don’t remember what I told him that night, but I do remember          him spread butter and jelly on that toast and eat every bite!
When I got up from the table that evening, I remember hearing my mom         to my dad for burning the toast. And I’II never         what he said: “Honey, I love         toast.”
Later that night, I went to kiss Daddy good night and I asked him if he really         his toast burned. He         me in his arms and said, “Your Momma put in a hard day at work today and she’s really       . And besides, a burned toast never          anyone!”
      is full of imperfect things... and imperfect people. I’m not the best at anything, and I forget          and anniversaries just like everyone else. But what I’ve        over the years is that learning to accept each other’s          – and         to celebrate each other’s differences – is one of the most important keys to creating a healthy, growing, and        relationship where a burned toast isn’t a deal-breaker!

When 17﹣year﹣old Quattro Musser hangs out with friends， they don't drink beer or cruise around in cars with their dates．（1） 　 　， they stick to G﹣rated activities such as rock﹣climbing or talking about books．

   To be sure， more than half of teens still engage in these activities， but the （4） 　 　have slimmed considerably． Teens have also reported a steady decline in sexual activity in recent decades， as the portion of high school students who have had sex fell from 54 percent in 1991 to 41 percent in 2015， according to Centers for Disease Control statistics． "People say，'Oh， it's because teenagers are more responsible， or more lazy， or more boring，' but they're （5） 　　the larger trend，" said Jean Twenge， lead author of the study， which drew on seven large time﹣lag surveys of Americans． Rather， she said， kids may be less （6） in activities such as dating， driving or getting jobs because in today's society， they no longer need to．

   According to an evolutionary psychology theory that a person's "life strategy" slows down or speeds up depending on his or her （7） 　 　， exposure to a "harsh and unpredictable" environment leads to faster development， while a more resource﹣rich and secure environment has the （8） 　　effect， the study said． In the first （9） 　　， "You'd have a lot of kids and be in survival mode， start having kids young， expect your kids will have kids young， and expect that there will be more （10） 　　and fewer resources，" said Twenge， a psychology professor at San Diego State University who is the author of "iGen： Why Today's Super﹣Connected Kids Are Growing Up Less Rebellious， More Tolerant， Less Happy﹣and Completely Unprepared for Adulthood．"

   In that model a teenage boy might be thinking more （11） 　　about marriage， and driving a car and working for pay would be important for "establishing mate value based on procurement of resources，" the study said． But America is shifting more toward the （12） 　　model， and the change is apparent across the socioeconomic spectrum， Twenge said． "Even in families whose parents didn't have a college education…families are smaller， and the idea that children need to be carefully （13） 　　has really sunk in．" The （14） 　 　of "adult activities" could not be attributed to more homework or extracurricular activities， the study said， noting that teens today spend fewer hours on homework and the same amount of time on extracurriculars as they did in the 1990s （with the exception of community service， which has risen slightly）． Nor could the use of smart phones and the Internet be entirely the （15） 　　， the report said， since the decline began before they were widely available． If the delay is to make room for creative exploration and forming better social and emotional connections， it is a good thing， he said．

Recently，I took a trip home by train．I got a seat opposite a middle-aged man with sharp eyes，who kept 1 a young woman in a window seat with a little boy on her lap．The woman's eye fell on the man's face，and she immediately looked down and 2 her scarf．

As the night wore on，people began to close their eyes，but the seats were so uncomfortable that only a very heavy sleeper could manage to get any 3 ．The woman looked over at the man．He was still staring at her．She looked back at him with fire in her eyes．I was beginning to get 4 ，too．

The train moved on．The little boy was 5 awake on his mother's lap，but the woman dropped off to sleep．A moment later，he began to 6 the half-open window-one leg went over it．The man jumped up and 7 the child just before he fell out．

The 8 woke up the woman．She seemed to be in 9，and then reality dawned （显现）．"Your child has been looking for an opportunity to climb out of the window，"the man said as he gave the child back to her. ．"So I have been watching the whole time．"The woman was 10 ，and so was I．

It's about 250 miles from the hills of west-central Iowa to Ehlers' home in Minnesota. During the long trip home, following a weekend of hunting, Ehlers         1       about the small dog he had seen         2       alongside the road. He had         3       to coax（哄）the dog to him but, frightened, it had         4       .

Back home, Ehlers was troubled by that         5       dog. So, four days later, he called his friend Greg, and the two drove         6       . After a long and careful         7       . Greg saw, across a field, the dog moving         8       away. Ehlers eventually succeeded in coaxing the animal to him. Nervousness and fear were replaced with         9       . It just started licking（舔）Ehlers' face.

A local farmer told them the dog sounded like one         10       as lost in the local paper. The ad had a         11       number for a town in southern Michigan. Ehlers         12       the number of Jeff and Lisa to tell them he had         13       their dog.

Jeff had         14       in Iowa before Thanksgiving with his dog, Rosie, but the gun shots had scared the dog off. Jeff searched         15       for Rosie in the next four days.

Ehlers returned to Minnesotan, and then drove 100 miles to Minneapolis to put Rosie on a flight to Michigan. "It's good to know there's still someone out there who         16       enough to go to that kind of         17       ," says Lisa of Ehlers' rescue         18       .

I figured whoever lost the dog was probably just as         19       to it as I am to my dogs," says Ehlers. "If it had been my dog, I'd hope that somebody would be         20       to go that extra mile."

The journey my daughter Cathy has had with her swimming is as long as it is beautiful.

Cathy suffered some terrible 16 in her early childhood. After years of regular treatment, she 17 became healthy.

Two years ago, while Cathy was watching the Olympics, a dream came into her sweet little head-to be a swimmer. Last summer, she wanted to 18 out local swim team. She practiced hard and finally 19it. The team practice, 20was a rough start. She coughed and choked and could hardly 21her first few weeks. Hearing her coughing bitterly one night, I decided to 22 her from it all. But Cathy woke me up early next morning, wearing her swimsuit 23to go! I told her she shouldn't swim after a whole night's coughing, but she refused to 24 and insisted she go .

From that day on, Cathy kept swimming and didn't 25 a single practice. She had a 26intention within herself to be the best she could be. My ten-year-old was growing and changing right before my eyes, into this 27 human being with a passion and a mission. There were moments of 28 of course: often she would be the last swimmer in the race. It was difficult for Cathy to accept that she wasn't a 29 ---ever. But that didn't stop her from trying.

Then came the final awards ceremony at the end of the year. Cathy didn't expect any award but was still there to 30 her friends and praise their accomplishments. As the ceremony was nearing the end, I suddenly heard the head coach 31 , "The highest honor goes to Cathy!" Looking around, he continued, "Cathy has inspired us with her 32 and enthusiasm. 33skills and talents bring great success, the most valuable asset(财富)one can hold is the heart."

It was the greatest 34 of my daughter's life. With all she had been 35 in her ten years, this was the hour of true triumph(成功).
