A young man (71) (travel) through a desert when he came across a spring of clear water. The water was sweet. He filled his leather bag so that he could bring some back to (72) elder, who had been his teacher. After a journey of four (73) (day), the young man finally (74) (bring) the water to him. The teacher took a deep drink, smiled (75) (warm), and thanked his student very much for the sweet water. The young man went home (76) a happy heart.
After the student left, the teacher let another student taste the water. He spit it out, saying it was awful. In fact, it was no longer fresh because of the old leather bag. He asked his teacher, "Sir, the water was awful. Why did you seem (77) (enjoy) it?" The teacher answered, "You tasted the water. I tasted the gift. The water was not just water, (78) an act of kindness and love. Nothing could be (79) (sweet)."
We understand this lesson best when we receive gifts of love from children.Whether(80) is a cheap pipe or a diamond (宝石的) necklace, the proper response is appreciation (感激). We love the idea within the gift rather than the thing itself.
When you're very, very afraid of something, that fear can affect (影响) you and how you live your life. When I was younger, I saw my cousin f(1) onto an ants' nest.

I c(3) my bed for ants every night. But when I t(4) thirteen, I decided I couldn't let my fear get to me. I had to learn to control my fear of ants.
First I read a lot about different ants. I didn't focus on bites, but instead I read about how helpful ants are to the p(5) . Ants are really cool! They're hard﹣working, social, and organized. They help bring a(6) and nutrients(营养) to the earth. They help plants grow, clean up decaying(腐烂的) m(7) , and help control other insects.
Next I began to w(8) ants from a safe distance. I started to look at a family of ants in real time on the Internet in order to learn how they live. Little by little, I fell more c(9) about ants. Finally I went outside one day and let an ant move onto my hand and t(10) it gently. It was okay! Now that I know about all the good things ants do, I'm not so afraid of them anymore.
