I work in a company in India which has branches in Germany and the UK,so I        take business trips to these places.We have a tradition at the company that anybody coming back to India from a foreign country gets      for all the other members of the company.Naturally the chocolates are finished in no time because everyone      them and tries to get as many as possible.
I        that the housekeeping staff members never had the chance to get even a single chocolate maybe because they were not as quick as others to take the chocolates.I felt it was        to them.
Recently, I came back to India from Munich and I had        a lot of chocolates for them.I met one of the housekeeping staff members called Babu.I gave him a packet of chocolates and told him to distribute(分发)them       in his department.His face lit up with joy and thanked me again and again,which made me very happy.
But the      didn’t end here.The best part of it was that Babu actually distributed the chocolates to        in the company equally instead of just distributing them among members in his        .So it was so touching for me to see this.
I find it really hard to        why we,who have the money to buy chocolates and other goodies,do not feel like        but just think about how to get more.       ,Babu,who earns only just about enough to raise his family, was so generous and did not even        one extra chocolate for himself.I want to request all of us learn from Babu for being so      and caring!

Our Future Homes
 What kinds of homes will we live         the future? Nobody can be sure,         architects, and scientists are         new ideas now.
  Some architects are thinking about          whole cities under huge glass domes. Of course, complicated heating and        systems will be necessary to control the climate in the domes.        , there will never be any rain      snow, and the temperature will be always        .
  Perhaps everyone will live in vertical(立体的)       . High rises are so large that they can contain all the necessities of life. Since vertical cities will use        land than horizontal cities, and provide homes for more people, they will be       for small countries that have     populations.
Another idea that will be helpful to        countries (and island countries) is
the      city. Monaco has already built homes, stores, and offices         the water of the Mediterranean Sea. And a Japanese       has made a plan for constructing buildings on bridges over Tokyo Bay.
  There are some people who think we will go back to living in       . But the caves of the future will be quite      the caves of the Stone Age. Computers will control light and climate. Farms and parks will be on the land      the cave city. When people want to go to the country or to a park, a short ride in       will take them there.

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.

Dear Friend,
The recent success of children's books has made the general public aware that there's a huge market out there.
And there's a growing need for new writers trained to create the $3 billion worth of children's books bought each year ... plus stories and articles needed by over 650 publishers of magazines for children and teenagers.
Who are these needed writers? They're ordinary folks like you and me.
But am I good enough?
I was once where you might be now. My thoughts of writing had been pushed down by self-doubt, and I didn't know where to turn for help.
Then, I accepted a free offer from the Institute to test my writing aptitude(潜能), and it turned out to be the inspiration I needed.
The promise that paid off
The Institute made the same promise to me that they will make to you, if you show basic writing ability:
You will complete at least one manuscript(手稿) suitable to hand in to a publisher by the time you finish our course.
I really didn't expect any publication before I finished the course, but that happened. I sold three stories. And I soon discovered that was not unusual at the Institute.
Since graduation, I have authored 34 nationally published children's books and over 300 stories and articles.
Free test and brochure
We offer a free aptitude test and will send you a copy of our brochure describing our recognized home-study courses on the basis of one-on-one training.
Realize your writing dream today. There's nothing sadder than a dream delayed until it fades forever.
Sincerely,

Kristi Holly, Instructor
Institute of Children's Literature

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 friend Tom came across an accident when driving in darkness. His legs were so hurt that he couldn’t move. What was           was that he found himself unable to ask for help—his mobile phone went out of       as a result of exhausted battery. Nothing could be done but          in the cold wilderness. It was 8 hours later that day broke and then the       of the rescue team.
It is almost          that he could stand the horror in the darkness for so long. Even more surprising was his       . “First of all I checked my   conditions and found myself not in danger. As there was no        to call for help, I leaned(斜靠)back in my seat trying my best to keep the wound from       . In this way I dozed(打盹)off.”
His story put an end to my regret for the         of an exploration that happened last year. A group of young men          to explore a mountain cave and got lost.         to find a way out in the dark cave they were frightened and ran anxiously without a sense of        . Finally, they fell dead in fear and exhaustion. According to the       team that found them, the place where they got lost was only about 10 meters away from the       of the cave. If they stayed on the spot when they lost their way and tried to      themselves, they would probably have sensed a faint light glowing(发出) not far away.
Don’t you think that you can compare it with       itself? When you meet with difficulties in life, you are lost in darkness. Focus that it’s unclear to you yet and you needn’t put up struggle     . It seems to be a negative attitude,     a person who can do so must have foresight as well as a great        in the first place.

Now you’re a fool for helping. “I don’t want to get involved” seems to have become a national motto. One summer I was driving from my hometown of Tahoe City, California to New Orleans, Louisiana. In the middle of the desert, I passed a young man standing by the roadside. He had his    out and held a gas can in his other hand. I drove right by him. There was a time    you’d be called a jerk (混蛋) for passing by somebody     .
Several days later I was still    about the hitchhiker (搭便车的人), about how I didn’t even lift my foot    the accelerator (加速踏板) for him. “Does anyone stop any more?” I wondered. I recalled Blanche DuBois’s famous line—”I have always depended on the kindness of strangers.” Was that    these days? One way to test this would be for a person to journey    the US without any money, just    on the good will of others. What would happen? Would he find food, shelter and support?
The idea intrigued (激起兴趣) me.
The week I    37, I realized that I had never done something truly crazy.    I decided to really do it: travel from the Pacific to the Atlantic without a penny. I would only accept    of rides, food and places to sleep. For six weeks I hitched 82 rides and covered 4,223 miles across 14 states. I was treated kindly    I went. I was    by people’s readiness to help a stranger.
In Oregon, a house painter named Mike    the cold weather and asked if I had a coat. I didn’t, so he gave me a big green army-style jacket. A lumber-mill worker in Michigan named Tim invited me to a    dinner with his family in their shabby house. Then he offered me a tent. I refused, but Tim insisted, packing it into my bag himself. I found people were generally compassionate. Hearing I had no money and would take none, people bought me food or    with them whatever they happened to have. Those who had the    to give often gave the most.
I’m    to all the people I met for their rides, their food, their shelter and their gifts. My faith in ordinary folks was    . I was proud to live in a country where people were still willing to help. In spite of everything, you can still depend on the    of strangers.
