There was once a poor and disappointed salesman complaining every day that there was no      for him to display his ability and the      was often pulling his legs.
At Christmas Eve, every family      their houses with lanterns and streamers and it was very      everywhere. But he was alone sitting in a bench in a park and recalling the past. It was on the same day last year when he was also alone      his Christmas day away,      new clothes, new shoes, let alone a new car and a new house.
“Damn! I have to spend this Christmas day with these old shoes again. ” he      and began to take off the old shoes.      , he glanced at a young man in a wheel chair passing by him with his hands strugglingly pushing the wheel forward. It      him that he was so lucky to have shoes to wear while that man did not even have the     . Afterwards, the sales man did anything with a calm      and cherished every opportunity to improve himself. He worked hard and tried his best to make progress every day. Several years later, he      changed his life totally and became a millionaire.
If you look all around, you will find there are so many people who were born      in the society but they are      in life and never complain about the unfair destiny. They are also not to beg others’ giving. Instead, they constantly      to make themselves stronger and more excellent to      the society. By contrast, we should feel      . We are born healthy, but we are      with life; we complain about our colleagues and dissatisfy with our jobs.
Maybe all of us would feel afraid when we realize we have fallen into such      state of life, but worse is that you even do not      you have fallen into such a dangerous situation.

There are many good things about       in the Third World. Take the close and constant relation between children and their parents, relatives and neighbors for example.

A child       in this way learns his or her role through joining in the community's       :helping to dig or build, look after animals or babies -- rather than      playing with water and sand in kindergarten, keeping pets      playing with dolls.
These children may grow up with a less oppressive sense of space and time than the      children.

It was the summer of my freshman year of college. Instead of heading home for a nice long   1 , my friends and I had decided to   2  and take some extra courses. We had   3  the top floor of an old house to live in. My bed was   4   into a stuffy (愁闷的)former laundry room and each night was a new   5  in humidity. Still, it felt   6  to be in my own place for the first time. After the first few weeks,   7  , the thrill faded and   8  set in. I found myself sitting alone each night   9  my home and my parents.
My summer holidays had always been a   10  time. I spent hours playing basketball and swimming. I talked to my Mom while she tended her flowers. I   11  helping my Dad drag firewood for the winter. And every night I sat at a dinner table full of delicious food   12  with love while my family filled the room with the sound of sweet   13 . Now I found myself missing them   14  than ever.
Finally when my   15  were at their lowest, I heard a   16  at the door. I opened it and was   17  to see my parents standing there with big smiles to fill my   18  heart and a box full of food to feed my hungry friends. We spent the afternoon eating   19  , and just being together. It felt so good, and I felt so loved.
Victor Hugo wrote that, “The supreme happiness of life is the   20  that one is loved; loved for oneself, or better yet, loved despite oneself.” It was that gift of happiness that my parents gave me that afternoon and every day of my life.

I ran into a stranger as he passed by. “I am so sorry!” was my reply. Then he said,“ Excuse me too… I wasn’t even watching for you.” We were very    , this stranger and I. Then we went on our     ways after saying goodbye.
But at home, a       story is told. Later, in the     , as I cooked our meal, my daughter crept up to me, very still. When I turned, I nearly     her down. “Get out of the way!” I        with a frown(皱眉). She left,       her little heart broken.
That  night, as I     awake in bed, God’s quiet     spoke to me and said, “While
      with a stranger, you are     and polite, but with those you love, you are quick and excited… Go look right now on the kitchen floor, you will find some       there by the door. Those are the flowers she brought for you. She picked them herself- pink, yellow, and blue. She stood there quietly, not to      your surprise, and you never saw the tears in her eyes.”
By this time, I felt sad and small and now my own tears had begun to fall. I quietly went and knelt by her bed,“Wake up, sweetheart, wake up,” I said,“Are these the flowers you picked for me? She smiled, “I found them, out by the tree. I wrapped them in a napkin, just for you. I knew you would like them.     the blue.” I said,” I am so sorry that I missed them today… And I shouldn’t have fussed at you that way.”
And she whispered, “Mommy, that is okay… I still love you     .” I hugged her and said, “ I love you too… And I love my flowers, especially the blue.”
Are you     that: If you die tomorrow, the     that you are working for could easily replace you in a matter of days. But the family you leave     will feel the loss for the rest of their lives. And come to think of it, we     ourselves more to our work than into our families- an unwise       indeed.

The Fish I didn't Catch
I still remember my first fishing experience as if it were but yesterday. I have been  many times in my life (like when I got admitted to the best school), but never more intensely sothan when I received that first fishing     from my uncle.
My uncle, who knew by long    where pickerel(梭鱼)would gather,   placed me at the most favorable point. I threw out my line and waited anxiously for a bite,   the float up and down rapidly on the surface of the water. But nothing came of it. "Try again," said my uncle. Suddenly the float   out of sight. "Now for it," thought I; "here is a fish at last."
I made a strong pull, only to bring up a tangle of weeds. Again and again I cast out my line with aching arms, and drew it back empty. I looked at my uncle   ."Try once more," hesaid;"we fishermen must have   
Suddenly something tugged at my line, and swept off with it into deep water. Pulling it up quickly, I saw a fine pickerel wriggling in the sun. "Uncle!”I cried, looking back in uncontrollable    , "I've got a fish!”"Not yet," said my uncle. Just then, I saw the scared fish shooting into the middle of the stream, my hook hung    from the line. I had lost my prize.
My heart sank with it and I felt like a failure. We tend to speak of the    of childhood as matters of little importance    those of grown-ups. Controlled by reason and self-respect, the sorrows of grown-ups    the social customs and rules of conduct   the sorrows of childhood are a complete abandonment to the passion. The doll's nose is broken, and the whole world    with it.
So, overcome with my bitter disappointment, I refused to be   ,even by my uncle's guarantee that there were more fish in the river. He refitted my bait, and, putting the pole again in my hands, told me to try my luck once more.
"But remember, boy," he said, with a smile, "it's no use to boast of(自夸)anything before it's done, nor then, either,   it speaks for itself."
How often I have been reminded of the fish that I did not catch   !When I hear people talking about their distant aims as if they had already been achieved, I call to mind that   by the riverside, and the wise caution of my uncle takes the form of a proverb of   application: "NEVER BOAST OF YOUR FISH BEFORE YOU CATCH HIM."

My brother and I were in Orlando Florida to witness our first Space Shuttle Launch. The Discovery was         to soar at 10:14 AM on a blue sky September day. I’d seen it         so many times on television,         now I was only minutes away from seeing it launch. And it’s the final demonstration of the         of success: Success Takes Off Like a Rocket.
Witnessing the Take Off:
Standing close to the Space Shuttle         home one unforgettable point—the Shuttle is the height of a 15-story building—it         4.5 million pounds—and NASA is trying to lift it 200 miles off the ground. On TV the accomplishments look so much        , so much easier.
Crowds of people are standing around with you to watch the Shuttle go. The countdown begins through the small         of hundreds of portable radios all tuned to the NASA station. It’s enough to get your heart beating        .
When time is up, the side booster rockets are lit up and the eight explosive bolts        . The first things you see are large white         clouds exploding away. Through the steam, you see the fire power. Then the Space Shuttle begins to inch off the pad and climb its way        . Thousands upon millions of pounds of         can hardly lift the shuttle at all. But with ever increasing ease, the shuttle picks up and roars into the sky, headed into space attaining a        of over 17,000 mph.
It is within the first two minutes to launch the Space Shuttle that the great success lesson is      . Fact: 85% of the shuttle’s fuel is consumed within the first 2 minutes just to get the 15-story super structure to its orbital        .
And that’s exactly how success        : The first steps you take towards launching a successful career are the         and will require an enormous consumption of energy—a great big push. However,         you persist through the launch period, which can seem almost         for quite some time, everything gets easier and easier and your results get bigger and bigger.
