I was doing a big clean-up and my kids were helping. One of my sons came across a handkerchief of mine with a coin inside. I took one look and was immediately   to another time.
In 1991,I had spent five months in Viger(尼日尔),a hot African country. There were many things I found      about this place—the climate and beggars who      shouted “Cadeau! Cadeau!” It means gift.
One      was a lot worse.One day,a friend and I headed for neighboring Burkina Faso to work in a health clinic.However,a motorbike with two men      slowly.Without warning,one of the men     my backpack as the motorbike swept close by.The bag had my passport,money,an airline ticket and other things precious to me.I was in deep      .In the weeks that followed I looked at all   with suspicion.
All I wanted was to leave this place.One day,I was stopped by an old woman “Cadeau!” she cried. I’d had enough! I was sick and tired of the country.I told her firmly,“A thief stole all my money and now I can’t get off your country.” The beggar woman listened carefully and     my words.
“Then I will give you a cadeau,” she announced.Kindly,she placed an old brown coin in my palm. I looked at it   .Living in poverty,she gave me something priceless! I saw then the     beauty of the people of Burkina Faso and    deeply the quiet dignity of the small coin;she turned my perceptions upside down.

To make new friends, the first thing you need to do is to meet up with new people, this should be quite      , as your neighborhood should have a club, school or some other small organizations.
Go there and talk to people.       you get into a social circle or group, making friends is not hard at all.
Look easygoing. You needn’t      in fancy clothes or wear loud make-ups to attract people. Make eye       and smile often; don’t look too nervous and listen to what others have to say.
Accept people the way they are. Nobody is      ; you are not either. Everyone has faults and the way to make friends is by looking at the positive aspects of people. In case you don’t like someone’s behavior, it is better to       them than to create a rivalry (对抗).
Don’t forget old friends. If they have moved away or if you have moved away, be in       through phone calls and emails. Don’t leave old friends for the sake of new ones.

Some years ago when I was in my first year in college, I heard Salome Bey sing for the first time. The moment was exciting. Salome’s      filled the room and brought the theater to life. I was so       that I decided to write an article about her.
I       Salome Bey, telling her I was from Essence magazine, and that I wanted to meet her to talk about her career. She      and told me to come to her studio next Tuesday. When I hung up, I was scared out of my mind. I       I was lying. I was not a writer at all and hadn’t even written a grocery list.
I interviewed Salome Bey the next Tuesday. I sat there      , taking notes and asking questions that all began with, “Can you tell me…” I soon realized that       Salome Bey was one thing, but writing a story for a national magazine was just impossible. The       was almost unbearable. I struggled for days       draft after draft. Finally I put my manuscript (手稿) into a large envelope and dropped it into a mailbox.
It didn’t take long. My manuscript      . How stupid of me! I thought. How could I       in a world of professional writers? Knowing I couldn’t     the rejection letter, I threw the unopened envelope into a drawer.
Five years later, I was moving to California. While       my apartment, I came across the unopened envelope. This time I opened it and read the editor’s letter in        :
Ms Profit,
Your story on Salome Bey is fantastic. Yet we need some        materials. Please add those and return the article immediately. We would like to       your story soon. 
Shocked, it took me a long time to        . Fear of rejection cost me dearly. I lost at least five hundred dollars and having my article appear in a major magazine. More importantly, I lost years of       writing. Today, I have become a full – time writer. Looking back on this       , I learned a very important lesson: You can’t        to doubt yourself.

WHEN John Gurdon was 15, he ranked last out of the 250 boys in his grade at biology. He also came in last for every other science subject. His teacher wrote in a      : “I believe he has ideas about becoming a      ; on his present showing this is quite foolish.”
Luckily, the teacher’s words didn’t       Gurdon’s love for science. He kept working hard. He went to lab earlier and left       than anyone else.
On Oct 8, 2012, 64 years later, the British professor       the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine. Japanese scientist Shinya Yamanaka had contributed to the research and therefore       the award.
Gurdon got the honor       his research into cells and cloning. When he was studying at Oxford, he did some       on cells. He took a cell from an adult frog, moved its      , and put them into an egg cell. The egg cell then       into a clone of the adult frog. His research       for the first time that every cell in the body contains the same genes.
At that time, many people       accept Gurdon’s idea. But later it helped to       Dolly the sheep in 1996, the first cloned mammal in history. It also led to important findings in the      use of cells. For example,       from someone’s skin can turn into any type of tissue in the body. This is good news for those       who have diseased or damaged tissue.
Gurdon always remembers the       he had when he was 15. He even put the report on his desk as a daily       to himself.
“When you have      , like an experiment doesn’t work, it’s nice to remind yourself that perhaps you are not so good at your job and the teacher may be      ,” he said.
However, the facts suggest Gurdon is pretty good indeed.

It was 20 years ago. I was driving home with my 4-year-old son. Traffic was light. I was singing quietly along       the song playing on the radio. I    at the intersection(交叉路口) and looked both ways. The road was      . I slowly started to make a right turn when suddenly a car rounded the curve at high speed and came     at me. I stomped (猛踩) on the brakes of my car killing the engine in the process. The speeder zoomed (疾驰) past my dead car     me by inches without even slowing down.
     I knew it, a stream of rude words was flying from my lips,      after the car and its driver. I then saw my son who was staring up at me     . With a red face and a(an)      smile I started the car, pulled back onto the road, and headed home.
Later that evening I was reading a book when I heard certain     words coming from my son’s bedroom. He was replaying the       over and over in his mind. Too          I realized the       of those words that had flown from my lips in that moment of    . It took a lot of talks about good language and bad language with my son to undo (消除)the      of that incident.
That     , however, did teach me just how strong words      be. It helped me to decide to stop swearing (咒骂) in my own life and to start using words uplifting and    inspire instead. I slowly realized that language is a      from God and should be used to make our world better but not worse. I learned      that a few loving words can help a hurting heart, strengthen a       spirit, and lighten a heavy load. I pray then that all of your words today are full of love, joy, happiness, and light.
