     "Imagine you are walking along the road. Suddenly you fall over and all the passers-by burst into
laughter. You feel very  1  and think the world is laughing at you . But in fact, five minutes later, they
have  2  it ever happened." The other day when I came across these words in an article, I didn't agree
with the  3  .
      The author thinks the best thing to do in this kind of  4  is to pretend nothing has happened, and so
avoid 5 trouble.
     I admit that we should keep  6  because "Your tears will only remind others of what happened, while
your  7  can let them forget it." But this is far from satisfactory. We should do   8  to make things better.
     I used to be a(n)  9   girl and not very good at maths. Our new maths teacher asked me a question
and I still remember how I hung my head in  10   when I couldn't answer it.
     "If you don't know the answer, just tell me." the teacher said, "If you don't how can I know   11   you
know the answer or not?" All of my classmates burst into laughter. My face turned red but the teacher 12 
me to go to the blackboard and 13 what I knew. If I had 14 the words in the article, I would have given
up. But I tried my best. And to everyone's  15 , I succeeded! The teacher smiled and said, "Well done! I
  16 you could do it!"
     Since then, I have become active in maths as  17  as in other subjects. I used to think doing maths
exercises was a waste of time. But now, I know 18 I do can make things better. Everyone is the 19 of his
own fate.
    If we make mistakes, we should take on an active 20 . Laugh, and the world laughs with you; weep
(哭泣), and you weep alone.

     Once President Roosevelt's house was broken into and lots of things were stolen. Hearing this, one
of Roosevelt's friends wrote to him and advised him not to take it to his   1  so much. President
Roosevelt wrote back immediately, saying," Dear friend, thank you for your letter to   2  me. I'm all right
now. I think I should thank God. This is because of the following three reasons: firstly, the thief only stole
things from me but did not   3  me at all; secondly, the thief has stolen some of my things   4  all my things;
thirdly, most luckily for me, it was the man   5  me who became a thief…"
     It was quite unlucky for anyone to be stolen from…. However, President Roosevelt had such three
reasons to be so   6  . This story tells us how we can learn to be grateful in our life.
     Being grateful is an important philosophy of life and a great wisdom…. It is impossible for anyone to
be lucky and successful all the time    7  he lives in the world. We should learn how to face failure or
misfortune bravely and    8  and to try to deal with it. If so, should we complain about our life and
become   9 and disappointed ever since then or should we be grateful for our life,   10  again ourselves
after a fall? William Thackeray, a famous British writer, said, "Life is a mirror. When you smile in front of
it, it will also smile and   11  will it when you cry to it." If you are grateful to life, it will bring you shining
sunlight. If you always complain about everything, you may own   12  in the end. When we are successful, we can   13  have many reasons for being grateful, but we have only one excuse to show ungratefulness
if we fail.
     I think we should even be grateful to life   14  we are unsuccessful or unlucky. Only by doing this can
we find our weakness and shortcomings when we fail. We can also get   15  and warmth when we are
unlucky. This can help us find our courage to overcome the difficulties we may face, and receive great
impetus (动力) to   16 . We should treat our frustration and misfortune in our life   17    just as President
Roosevelt did. We should be grateful all the time and keep having a healthy   18    to our life forever,
keep having perfect characters and enterprising spirit. Being grateful is not only a kind of comfort, not
   19   from life and nor thinking of winning in spirit like Ah Q. Being grateful is a way to sing for our life
which comes just from our love and  20 .

                                                 Trapped on the 37th Floor
     Melinda Skaar wasn't expecting any phone calls. Skaar was working late in her office at the First
Interstate bank of California. By 10:45 that night she was almost ready to go home when the phone rang.
Picking it up, she heard a guard shouting. "There is a fire! Get out of there!"
     Skaar didn't panic. She figured that it was just a small fire. Her office building was huge. There were
62 floors and her desk was on the 37th floor.
     Skaar called out to office mate Stephen Oksas, who also stayed late to work. But when they got to
the hallway, they were met by a cloud of black smoke. Rushing back, Skaar shut the door and filled the
space at the bottom of the door with her jacket to keep the smoke out.
     Then they called 911. Before they could call their families, however, the line went dead. That meant
that they were completely cut off from the outside world. All they could do was wait and hope someone
would come to rescue them.
     Minutes ticked by. Smoke began to float into the office. Soon it became hard for  them to breathe.
     Looking around, Skaar noticed a small workroom. It seemed to have cleaner air. So they crowded
there. That helped for a while, but in time even the workroom was filled with deadly smoke.
     Hopeless, they tried to break the windows, but the glass was not breakable. Everything they threw at
just bounced back.
     Defeated, they struggled back to the workroom. They felt weak and dizzy . Soon Skaar found Oksas

     Two years ago my grandmother was going to turn 75. My family discussed what was the best way to
celebrate. Should we throw her a party ? Should we take her on a trip ? We remembered that she had
touched so many people's lives, and there were so many people for her to consider. Then someone got
the idea that we should include everyone in the celebration by turning it into a tribute (献礼) to my
grandmother.
     We secretly sent out letters to the people in Grandmother's address book and asked them to send a
letter with a memory that they had shared with her. People sent us letters with poems, stories and pictures. The deep feeling that was shared through the response (回应) surprised us. We compiled (编辑) these
letters into a memory book and amazed her with it on the morning of her birthday.
     The unusual thing about my grandmother's friends was not the number that she had, but the connection
they shared. In many ways this book of friendship was the greatest achievement of my grandmother's life.
     I believe that developing true friendships is one of the most important things that anyone can do in
one's lifetime. It is not a matter of the number of friends one has, but the quality of the bonds. If one has
had at least one true friendship before dying, then one can say one has lived a successful life. I have made many friends and I believe I have begun to develop the same types of friendships my grandmother kept
up over her lifetime. I only hope that I will be as successful as she has been.

     Back in the fifteenth century, in a tiny village near Nuremberg, lived a family with eighteen children. In
spite of the hopeless condition, two of the children, Albrecht Durer and Albert, had a dream. They both
wanted to pursue their talent for art.After many long discussions, the two boys finally worked out an agreement.They would toss a coin.The loser would go down into the nearby mines and, with his earnings,
support his brother who attended the academy.Then, when that brother who won the toss completed his
studies, in four years, he would support the other brother at the academy.
     Tossing a coin, Albrecht Durer won and went off to Nuremberg.Albert went down into the dangerous mines and, for the next four years, supported his brother, whose work at the academy was almost an
immediate sensation (轰动). By the time he graduated, he had earned considerable fees for his outstanding works.
     When the young artist returned to his village, the Durer family held a festive dinner to celebrate
Albrecht's triumphant (胜利的)homecoming.Albrecht drank a toast to his beloved brother for the years
of sacrifice that had enabled him to complete his dream."And now, Albert, blessed brother of mine, now
it is your turn. Now you can go to Nuremberg to look for your dream, and I will take care of you."
     Tears streaming down his pale face, Albert sobbed, "No...no...It is too late for me.Look...look at
what four years in the mines have done to my hands!The bones in every finger have been broken at least
once, and lately I have been suffering from arthritis(关节炎)so badly in my right hand that I cannot even
hold a glass to return your toast, much less draw delicate lines with a pen or a brush."
     To show thanks to Albert for all that he had sacrificed, Albrecht Durer painstakingly drew his
brother's injured hands with palms together and thin fingers stretched skyward.He called his powerful
drawing simply "Hands", but the entire world almost immediately opened their hearts to his great
masterpiece and renamed it "The Praying Hands".The next time you see a copy of that touching creation,
let it be your reminder-no one ever makes any success alone!
