When I was 8, a gentleman came to my orphanage(孤儿院)and taught us how to do woodworking projects. I remember my first project—a small table. I was so       of it that I looked upon it       I had created a wonder. It was absolutely beautiful and it had taken me six weeks to         it. I could       wait to give it to Mother Winters as a gift. She was the head mistress of our orphanage, who was always       with us.
As the tables were not       from the clear coating, the man told us to wait a few days before taking them to our dormitories.       I was just so excited and happy that I couldn’t wait. I dashed out like a flash carrying my table, smiling from ear to ear.
When I reached the dormitory I placed the little table beside my bed. I was       it when Mother Winters entered. She walked over to the table. Running her hand       it, she noticed it was still wet.
“Were you       to bring this home?” she asked. “No, ma’am,” I       with my head down.
She ordered me to throw the table out and so I did. After she left, I immediately opened the door to get it back. There was       stuck all over. I brushed and cried, but it would not come off. I hid the table in my closet and never       it. A year later while cleaning up, I gave the table to Mother Henderson, my houseparent (宿管员), thinking that she would       it away.
Thirty years later at a reunion, I       that Mother Henderson was living nearby, so I drove up to see her. We talked cheerfully for long. As I was about to leave, she asked me to come down to her       to get something important. I followed her       into a dark corner. She picked something up.       she turned around, I could see that she was holding a little table. Mother Henderson kept the little table that I had given up for lost so long ago.
Today, I look at that table with bittersweet memories but full of       to Mother Henderson, who kept it for a young orphan who tried very hard to      .

I met Billy the last summer before college. He was handsome and his irreverence(玩世不恭) was    to me. We liked each other the first instant we met.       , I was a straight A student and my parents had high hopes for me to     an Ivy League (常春藤联盟) school. Billy did not concentrate all his attention        his study and school life. However, we were in love --- so        teenager love. I still remember we had a plan for prom(舞会). It was understood that we had       about where we would dance and drink and party together.
This meant one thing to my parents---panic. And it grew as the       letters began to roll in. Of the eleven schools I applied to, nine accepted me. And one of them was Brown University---the Ivy League     in 1770 in historic Providence, Rhode Island.
There was no         that I was drawn to Brown, but Billy (who had joined the army) was      down south and I had offers      for me there, too. I was torn between my love for him and my family      .
One week        the start of school, my mother had a talk with me. She said I was eighteen years old and I had a        to make--- one that went        beyond the choice of       to attend university.
In August, I      and drove north to Providence. It took several months to     that my life was moving on in a way that was completely different from Billy’s. Brown changed my life, opening doors and giving me the       I now use to think, to learn and to write. Life is always about       it seems, and the older I get, the more I understand this. Still, there are times when I think of Billy because he taught me about love.

I’d been 16 for six days and was already prepared to deal with failure.
I remember that, when my mum          me that morning, her voice wasn’t as screaming as it usually was. She had been          for more than one hour getting everything ready, and I could feel she was         me at the same time.
I stayed in bed for a few minutes. I was          to leave its warmth and          to face the suffering that I’d rather let myself forget for the past months. Finally, I dragged myself         .
The first thing I thought of after getting up was to         . I went to the kitchen and prepared a breakfast that was fairly         , but was still too big for my appetite that day. I kept telling myself that I          eat. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and this wasn’t a(n)          day. Besides maybe it would          me a little. But I doubted it. I left the kitchen because even the          made me feel sick.
I finished getting ready and tried to settle down. It didn’t         , so I decided that my mum and I should go. We had          time, so I thought we could practise parking. I        , with the wheel hitting the pavement. After that, the little bit of confidence I had was         . I tried two more times, but did not improve much. Then we went towards the driving          site.
I waited twenty minutes---just enough time to make myself believe that I was going to fail. Then, finally, it was my         . I wasn’t sure of myself at all. I just wanted to get it over and make sure that I had to come back next Thursday.
The first thing I had to do was parking, which I did quite well. The         that came with it hit me like a wave. The rest of the test went well and I passed it.
The          of my mum made her face softer. I knew her worry was gone and she was happy for me.

I had a very special teacher in high school many years ago and suddenly her husband died of a heart attack. One day, about a week after her husband’s      , the teacher said, “Before class is over, I would like to share with all of you a (n)        in life that is unrelated to this class, but I feel it is very       .”
“Each of us is put here on        to learn, share, love and appreciate. None of us knows when this fantastic        will end. It can be        at any moment. Perhaps we must make the most out of every single       .” Her eyes beginning to       , she went on, “So I would like you all to make me a(n)       . From now on, on your way, find something beautiful to       . It doesn’t have to be something you see—it could be a sweet smell or it could be the sound of the      leaves. Please look for these things, and cherish (珍视) them.”
The class was completely quiet. We all        our books and got out of the classroom       . That afternoon, I noticed more things on my way home from        than I had that whole term. Every once in a while, I think of that teacher and        what she had said, and I try to appreciate all of those things that        we all ignore.
Take notice of something special you see on your lunch hour today.     on the beach at sunset. Stop off on the way home tonight to        an ice cream. For as we get       , it is not the things we did that we often feel       , but the things we didn’t do.
