I dreamed I had an interview with God.
“So you would like to interview me?” God asked. “If you have the time,” I said. “My time is eternity(永恒),” God smiled, “What questions do you have(1)_________for me?” “What surprises you most about humankind?” God answered, “That they (2)__________ bored with childhood, they rush to grow up, and then long to be children(3)_________. That they lost their health to make money… and then lost their money to restore their (4)__________. Then by thinking anxiously (5)__________ the future, they forget the (6)___________, so that they live in neither the present nor future. That they live as if they will never die, and die (7)__________ they had never lived.” God’s hand took mine and we were silent for a while.
And then I asked, “(8)__________ a parent, what are some of life’s lessons you want your children to(9) ___________?” He answered, “To learn they (10)__________make anyone love them. All they can do is to let themselves love(11)____________. To learn that it is not good to compare themselves to others. To learn to forgive by practicing forgiveness. To learn that it only(12)___________ a few seconds to open profound(深的) wounds in those they love, and it can take many years to heal (13)__________. To learn that a rich person is not one who has the most, but is the one who need the (14)___________. To learn that there are people who love them(15)____________, but simply have not yet learned how to express or show their(16)___________. To learn that two people can look at the same thing and (17)___________ it differently. To learn that it is not enough that they forgive one(18)____________, but they must also forgive themselves.”
“Thank you for your(19)___________,” I said humbly. “Is there anything else you would like(20)_____________ to know?” God smiled and said, “Just to know that I am always here.”

I went to a group activity, “Sensitivity Sunday” which was to make us more 36 the problem faced by disabled people. We were asked to “ 37 a disability” for several hours one Sunday. Some member 38 chose the wheel chair. Other wore sound-blocking earplugs (耳塞) or blindfolds (眼罩).
Just sitting in the wheelchair was a 39 experience, I had never considered before how 40 it would be to use one. As soon as I sat down my 41 made the chair begin to roll. Its wheel were not 42 . Then I wondered where to put my 43 , It took me quite a while to get the metal footrest into 44 , I took my first uneasy look at what was to be my only means of 45 for several hours. For disabled people, “adopting a wheelchair” is not a temporary(临时的) 46 .
I tried to find a 47 position and thought it might be restful, 48 kind of nice to be 49 around for a while. Looking around, I 50 would have to handle the thing myself! My hands started to ache as I 51 the heavy wheels, I came to know that controlling the 52 of the wheelchair as not going to be 53 task,
My wheelchair experiment was soon 54 . It made a deep impression on me. A few hours of “disability” gave me only a taste of the 55 , both physical and mental, that disabled people must overcome.

What ____ wonderful lesson! The little boy has now become a famous scientist and he remarked that it was at that moment ____he knew he didn't need to be afraid of ____ (make) mistakes. Instead, he learned that mistakes were just opportunities for learning something, ____ is what scientific experiments are all about. Even if the experiment “doesn't work”, we usually learn something ____ (value) from it. Wouldn’t it be great if all parents would respond the way Robert’s mother responded ____ him?
Several years ago, while attending a communication course, I experienced a most unusual process. The instructor asked us to list anything in our past that we felt 16 of, regretted, or incomplete about and read our lists aloud.
This seemed like a very 17 process, but there's always some brave soul in the crowd who will volunteer. The instructor then 18 that we find ways to 19 people, or take some action to right any wrongdoings. I was seriously wondering how this could ever 20 my communication.
Then the man next to me raised his hand and volunteered this story: “Making my 21 , I remembered an incident from high school. I grew up in a small town. There was a Sheriff none of us kids liked. One night, my two buddies(老兄) and I decided to play a 22 on him.”
“After drinking a few beers, we climbed the tall water tank in the middle of the town, and wrote on the tank in bright red paint: Sheriff Brown is a FOX. The next day, almost the whole town saw our glorious 23 . Within two hours, Sheriff Brown had us in his office. My friends told the truth but I lied. No one 24 found out.”
"Nearly 20 years later, Sheriff Brown’s name 25 on my list. I didn't even know if he was still 26 . Last weekend, I dialed the information in my hometown and found there was a Roger Brown still listed. I tried his number. After a few 27 , I heard, “Hello?” I said, “Sheriff Brown?” Paused “Yes”. “Well, this is Jimmy Calkins.”
“And I want you to know that I did it.” Paused. “I knew it!” he yelled back. We had a good laugh and a 28 discussion. His closing words were: “Jimmy, I always felt bad for you because your buddies got it off their chest, but you were carrying it around all these years. I want to thank you for calling me … for your sake.”
Jimmy inspired me to 29 all 101 items on my list within two years, and I always remember what I learned from the course: It's never too late to 30 the past wrongdoings.

One Sunday, a picture in the newspaper touched me. A young woman stood in front of a totally destroyed home. A little boy stood beside her with his head 36 . Holding her skirt tightly was a tiny girl, eyes wide with 37 and fear.
With growing 38 I noticed that their sizes of each family member closely 39 ours. This would be a good opportunity to 40 my children, so I explained their difficult 41 to my seven-year-old twins and three-year-old Meghan.
“We have so much, but these poor people now have nothing,” I said, “we’ll 42 what we have with them.”
I brought three large boxes and placed them on the living room floor. Meghan watched seriously 43 the boys and I filled one box with canned food.
While I 44__ our clothes, I encouraged the boys to go through their toys and 45 some of their less favorite things. Meghan watched 46 as the boys piled up useless toys in the box.
“I’ll help you find something for the little girl,” I said to her.
The boys placed the toys they had 47 to donate into one of the boxes while I filled the third box with clothes. Meghan walked up with Lucy, her worn, faded, much-loved doll 48 tightly to her chest. She 49 in front of the box, pressed her little face into Lucy’s face, gave her a 50 kiss, then, laid her gently on top of the other toys.
“Oh, honey,” I said. “You 51 to give away Lucy. You love her so much.”
Meghan nodded, eyes shining with tears. “Lucy makes me happy, Mommy. 52 she’ll make that little girl happy, too.”
I stared at Meghan for a long moment, 53 how I could teach the boys the lesson she had just taught me.
It’s easy to give what we don’t want any more, but 54 to let go of things we cherish, isn’t it? 55 , the true spirit of giving is to give with your heart.

As a music teacher,I have always known that music touches the soul. It can 36 all kinds of barriers to reach students in a very special way.It can be the 37 for each child to find their light.I would like to 38 a story about it.
For a few years I was 39 with the opportunity to teach disabled students.One of my most 40 students was a five-year-old girl called Vanessa,who had difficulty walking,and could not speak.We 41 sat on the floor for our music lessons and Vanessa liked to 42 on my lap.One of her favorite songs was John the Rabbit.It was a call and response song where I sang the call and the students 43 twice while singing the repeating phrase,“Oh,yes!” Vanessa liked to 44 her hands together with mine and clap with me.We probably performed that song during every class,Vanessa and I clapping together.But she 45 said or sang a word.
One day,when the song was finished,Vanessa turned around, 46 me in the eyes,clapped her tiny hands twice and said the words“Oh,yes!” I opened my mouth in 47 and for that moment I was the one who could not speak.When my heart 48 started beating again,I looked over at the assistant teacher to find her also 49 .Through music,we had made an awesome connection.
Several years later,I met Vanessa on the street in town.She waved with a big 50 on her face and then clapped her hands twice,imitating the song we had 51 so many times in our music class.The little girl, 52 her connection with music,left an impression on me that will last forever. Every child has the 53 to learn and grow. It is up to us to 54 the way to reach each and every one of our students.We all must find each child's 55 .

I was nineteen years old the first time I saw my own true character.
My trip to and from work each day included a ten-minute walk through the heart of downtown, where the 36 often gathered. Like most busy citizens, I learned to 37 those nameless faces. When it came to homeless beggars, my 38 life experience had led me to one 39 that they are on the street because they choose to be, probably due to alcohol or drugs.
It was an extremely cold day. When I passed the groups of beggars as usual, I heard a shaky voice target me.
“Spare some change?” he asked.
I didn’t even 40 looking up at his nameless face. I briefly 41 him walking into a liquor store and buying whiskey with the money we spared him. Like most teenagers, it took me only moments to 42 him.
“I have no money on me,” I said quickly
Looking back now, I feel as if God had set out that day to teach me a lesson. And God 43 . Just a few feet past him, I managed to find the only ice patch on the sidewalk. I 44 and landed heavily on my right knee. The 45 was almost killing me as I tried to get up. Then I heard a shaky voice only inches above me.
“Are you all right?” he asked.
I knew immediately this was the man I had just rushed past. Even in pain, I 46 took a quick moment to sniff for the smell of alcohol on his breath. There was none. He wasn’t 47 . I saw the 48 in his eyes.
I 49 to get to my feet. He held my arm as I walked difficultly to the nearby bus stop.
“My name is Mike,” he said. “That’s quite a fall you took, and you really need to get it checked by a doctor,” he said with deep 50 .
“This bus goes past the hospital,” I said.
Mike paused, and a look of sudden 51 crossed his face. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a small cup. He took out all the change and held it out toward me.
“I think there’s just enough here for you to take the bus,” he said,
I was highly embarrassed as I remember my 52 . I reached for my purse and took out my change. At least ten dollars. I offered Mike all my change.
“Thank you and take care of yourself,” I said. Both of us knew that few minutes earlier I couldn’t have 53 what happened to him.
Mike held his cup tightly, 54 it as if it were the first gift he had ever received.
A half cup of change seemed too small a gift for the man who gave a 55 to every nameless face I’ve ever seen.

More Than I Had Dreamed Of
From the time I was seven, I had a dream of becoming a member of the Students Union.I always 36 my school leaders for taking responsibility for all of us.So I dreamed of being a leader.
Years flew by, and soon I was able to participate in the elections, 37 I would win.But the reality struck that I hadn't had a chance.I wasn't pretty.Girls across the school hardly knew me.I just did not have what it 38 to win a school election.I was 39 .
As I cried in my room that evening, I 40 took a deep breath and decided I wouldn't stop dreaming.I decided that I would 41 for elections again in my final year at school—and I would win.
I recognized that my 42 had a lot of things in their favor.What were the 43 that would work in my favor? I had good grades, and I was friendly and helpful.And my biggest 44 was the faith I had.I would not allow my 45 appearance to hold me back from putting my best foot forward.That evening, I 46 my election plans a whole year in advance.
I realized that girls would have to get to know me and recognize that I had the ability to 47 them.I loved making friends and I liked being helpful, 48 I decided that perhaps I could use these qualities to work to my advantage.In order to learn how to present a great election 49 , I also attended a course on effective public speaking.
The day after the election, when the principal announced I won the second highest number of votes, the students 50 That joy on the faces of all my friends showed me that my victory was 51 theirs.
Suddenly, I realized that I had 52 much more than I had dreamed of.I had made many new friends and had helped people 53 the way.I had won the 54 and love of my school-mates and they knew me as somebody who would stand by them.I was able to put a smile on their faces and 55 their day.

This is a part from US President Barack Obama’s speech on May 14 at Bamard College in New York.
… My last piece of advice – this is simple, but perhaps most important: 36. Nothing worthwhile is easy. No one of achievement has avoided failure – sometimes catastrophic failures. But they keep at it. They learn from mistakes. They don’t 37.
When I first arrived on this 38, I was with little money, fewer options. But it was here that I tried to find my place in this world. I knew I wanted to make a difference, but it was 39 how in fact I’d go about it. But I wanted to do my part to 40 a better world.
So even as I worked after graduation in a few 41 jobs here in New York, even as I went from motley (鱼龙混杂的)apartment to motley apartment, I 42.
… And I wish I could say that this perseverance came from some innate (天生的)toughness in me. But the truth is, it was 43. I got it from 44 the people who raised me. I grew up as the son of a single mom who struggled to put herself through 45 and make ends meet. She had a marriage that fell apart; 46 went on food stamps at one point to help us 47. But she didn’t quit. And she earned her degree, and made sure that 48 scholarships and hard work, my sister and I earned 49.
And 50, I met a woman who was assigned to advise me on my first summer job at a law firm. And she gave me such good advice that I married her. And Michelle and I gave everything we had to balance our careers and a 51 family. We made that marriage work.

Signs can sometimes be seen at the entrance of a house, expressing that a tramp(流浪汉)has passed. This special sign-language is frequently 50 by tramps to inform their 51 whether the host of a certain house is friendly or unfriendly, and to 52 them the trouble of making unnecessary calls.
Quite 53 one day, I came across a real tramp. He was such a rare sight these days that I stood some distance away and watched him. He was dressed just as a tramp should be in, old worn trousers, and a jacket many sizes too big for him. On his head there was a battered old hat and his boots were so old and worn; they were almost coming into pieces.
But the man himself looked cheerful as if he had not a 54 in the world. He rubbed his nose with his forefinger, 55 a funny turn, laid a small parcel 56 the front gate, and began 57 a sign made by a former caller. Although the sign was meaningless to me, it must have been 58 , for the tramp’s face lit up with satisfaction. He entered the front gate 59 and rang the bell. When the door opened, I saw him raise his hat 60 couldn’t hear his words. The 61 was very short indeed, for no sooner had he spoken a few words than the door closed fiercely in his face.
I felt 62 for him as he walked sadly out of the house. But just as quickly, his face lit up again and he moved quickly towards the gate. There he stopped, looked at the sign, and shook his head seriously as if he had made a bad mistake. 63 deeply into his pockets, he produced a piece of chalk, rubbed out the existing sign and made a new one in its place. He stared at it for a moment smiling to himself, then gathered his belongings, pushed back his hat and began walking towards the next house at an unhurried 64 , whistling as he went along.

I was assigned to take care of this patient a couple of weeks ago and began to grow closer to her. Communicating with her was 1 because everything she wanted to say to me had to be written on a notepad. As a nursing graduate, I was able to 2 her mind by observing even a slight 3 in a patient's facial expression.
One day, when I was checking the patient,she 4 me on the shoulder to show me a note,"Do you think I could be let go 5 the hospital in a month to see my niece get married?,,Taking her hand in mine, I told her that I could not 6 her,because I did not want to leave her a 7 sense of hope. 8,I made her believe that I would be there with her every step of the way on her journey toward 9 . Hearing that, the patient gave me a 10 and a hug.
Day by day, I built her 11 by walking around the floor with her. As I did this, I could see before my own eyes that her health was 12 improving and able to walk more steadily. On her last day in hospital, just before her niece’s 13 ,she wrote me one last note, “I couldn’t have done this 14 you; I love you.” After kissing goodbye, I had a strong sense of achievement. I realized that moments like this were 15 I woke up early for 16 in the hospital and spent long hours with her. I truly felt, and her 17 confirmed, that I was an 18 part of this woman’s recovery. My experience with this patient shows me that this career allows me to touch the 19 of people in ways that people in other 20 will never get to experience.
