It seemed like an everyday moment, but now I realize that when he introduced himself to me, it was the beginning of a life-changing experience.
I met him at a summer  1 , and although I met hundreds of people every day, I became his  2 . We talked, like everyone else, about our  3 and hobbies. We were not 4   at all, but we really had a lot in common. By the end of the camp, we were  5 stories and laughs, and promised to  6  .
When I returned home, I  7   that I had lost the paper with his e-mail address on it. I looked through all my stuff (东西), but without  8  . One day, I thought to look him up on the online network that was set up for the campers.  9   I was online, an instant message suddenly appeared on the  10  . It was the boy who I had just tried to  11   a moment before.
A series of very meaningful conversations  12   then. I don’t know  13 , but for some reason we started to  14   our deepest feelings in   15 , and learned from each other’s pain and experiences. It was a very new    16   for me，and it was extremely beneficial to my heart and my soul.   17  I had found someone who was willing to   18   me without prejudice (偏见).
I have only known him for three months, but the  19  in me is great．I love, I live, and I believe in my life. I  20 cry every night because of the  happiness inside me. I dearly hope that he has also benefited from our exchanges even though we are hundreds of miles apart and can only communicate by messaging.

When I walked into the house after school, the first thing I noticed was a box with items I recognized from my dad’s office.
“What are you doing at home?” I asked casually.
“Andrew, I was    31    today,” he answered quietly.
I was sure he was joking. “No, you weren’t. Why are you    32    at home?”
Then I noticed his    33    and realized he was telling me the truth. My father has always been a hard worker and prided himself on his career.    34    our family has been his joy, and I guess I have    35    his work for granted.
My father’s unemployment    36   many changes in our lives. For starters, he was at home all the time, which meant my bed had to be    37  , my room cleaned up, and my     38    done right after school. I would come home every day to find him at the computer     39    jobs. I began to notice how    40    he seemed, and how losing his job affected his self-esteem, though he tried to be    41   . For the first time, I    42   my dad as vulnerable (易受伤的). He asked my brother and me to    43    less. I gave up my pocket money,    44    it wasn’t much. I felt I was doing the right. I also found a part-time job.
After several difficult months of searching, my dad    45    to go in a totally different direction. He    46    that he never wanted to be laid off again, so he was going to start his own business. Day by day, I watched him    47    it, and I admired how much time and     48    he expended. I    49   knew he was a hard worker, but watching him in action really affected me.
Although this was one of the    50    experiences for our family, it taught me a lot about dealing with adversity (逆境), and will be my foundations for success.

Several days ago, I met a stranger in the street who stopped and asked me directions. I   36  to show him the way to the destination（目的地），but to my   37  he coldly refused my offer. I asked him why. Finally he told me that he was  38  I would ask him for money if I   39  him in this way.
Money! I   40 deep into thought. Is it money that comes between us? Money itself has no   41 ; yet it cannot simply be   42 to be good or bad. The problem  43  what attitude we have towards it.
At present, we have a more   44  material life than before, but we’re becoming more and more 45 . Why? In my opinion, the   46  is the change in people’s personal   47 . They wrongly believe that   48 money should be their only aim in life, so they   49  all sorts of ways they can to  50 this aim.
They are afraid of being   51  and fooled. If everyone acts like this, what will our  52 be like?
Needless to say, money is becoming more and more important in our society,   53  it shouldn’t be the “be-all and end-all” of life. If a person only concentrates on  54 , he will be lonely and void(空虚).
It is up to us to make our lives happy, not money. We should try our best to help others   55  and freely. If everyone does so, our society will be better and better.

I got a cancer when I was 18. This was a big deal for someone to 31. I chose to fight. After treatments, I 32 from my illness. Life couldn’t have been any 33. When I became fit years later, I met a wonderful man and got married. 34, I still felt something missing and eager to find my 35.
As my 20-year anniversary (周年纪念) of being a cancer 36 approached, I wanted to do something special and 37. I organized a fundraiser, calling it “A Mission (使命) of Love” and thanks to my 38 family and friends, raised﹩4,000 for St. Jude’s, planning to 39 it myself. Three quarters of the money would be given as a (n) 40 to the hospital, and what was left would go toward buying 41 for the children. I also organized a T-shirt 42 activity for any child who felt well enough.
Thanksgiving Day seemed the most 43 day of the year for the mission, and so it was all arranged. We went to a store and 44 three shopping carts with toys. It was 45 we were celebrities (名人) when the employees and other shoppers knew what we were doing.
On Thanksgiving Day, as we got to St. Jude’s, I became 46 emotional, as my eyes were filled with tears of 47. After dropping the toys off, we arrived where six children were waiting anxiously to begin painting. To me, it was as though they weren’t sick, and to see them smile was the greatest gift I could have ever 48.
Leaving there that day, I knew I had finally found my purpose. All of us are born for a reason, but all of us don’t 49 why. Success in life has nothing to do with what you 50 in life. It’s what you do for others.

I was an introvert(内向的人) by  36 . For as long as I remember, putting on a sincere smile when meeting someone had  37  been easy. The key to a sincere smile,  38 , is simple. It’s to be  39 . But that’s the source of the problem. When meeting people,  40  being excited, I often felt upset.
But we all know  41  are important. The more friends you have, the more opportunities you get,  42  it’s job opportunities, a romantic relationship, or business partners. So a smile is important to make others feel  43 . Mother Teresa said, “Every time you smile at someone, it is an action of love, a(an)  44  to that person, a beautiful thing.”
The smile I’m now talking about is not to make a face to cashiers or waiters. I’m talking about those  45  smiles you make when meeting old friends. So I’ve discovered a  46 . And I call this technique “Oh, it’s Jamie!” When I meet someone, I imagine an old friend of mine called Jamie who was my first friend when we were  47  kids. It’s  48  why my smile is as wide as I can possibly make. And it’s not just the smile, but my tone and attitude that turn warm as well.
And the best part, whenever you’re friendly to others, they turn friendly  49 . You’re not hearing this from me. Some research done by scientists actually  50  this claim. So do remember to give it a try.
Three years ago at the age of 23, I took a long hard look at my life and decided that I was  51 .  52  of my life, I set about  53  dramatic changes and now I have become a popular writer. My  54  reflects that nothing is too difficult if you  55  bravely.

Earlier this morning I e-mailed an old friend, Mark. We have been out of touch for 12 years, but the   36  is a wonderful thing. Finding his e-mail address   37  less than a minute. He is working on his doctoral paper in western America.
Mark and I met at a summer   38  that we both attended. I went every year from the time I was 8 or 9 until I was 15. I don’t   39  exactly, but I think Mark was there for as many years as I was.
We lived close to each other and   40  saw each other around the campsite, but not often. Mostly we stayed together for a week or two in the   41  and wrote letters back and forth during the rest of the first few years. I still have all of his letters in a box somewhere. I come across them occasionally and   42  to sit down and read through them, but I never have. He was a   43  and precious friend to me, and I am deeply   44  that we have drifted so far apart.
Mark was a very kind and incredibly bright and funny   45  . He loved Monty Python — I mean he was a fanatic(狂热者), and could   46  entire movies from memory. He was one of those kids who   47  such a unique and powerful mind   48   they never quite fit into the main stream of life.   49  Mark, who I believe realized that, never seemed to care about it. When I knew that Mark was working on his   50  (on a highly intellectual and fairly mysterious and difficult topic), I thought, “Well yes, of course.” He is just where I would
  51  him to be.
I wonder if he will write me back. I wonder if he will be   52  by where I am. I wonder whether he and I can be   53  again, or whether these years have left us with   54  
in common. I wonder whether he can ever be the man I   55 , or only remain the boy I knew.  

 A friend of mine was sitting in the living room one day when his cat dragged in a little “gift” in its mouth—a dead animal of some sort. Taking a closer look, he was surprised to  36 it as the bunny(小兔子) that  37 Mary, the young daughter of the family next door. My friend felt  38 , believing his cat had killed Mary’s bunny.
My quick-thinking friend came up with a plan.  39  from the cat’s mouth the dead animal, which by now was a     40 mess, he put it in the kitchen sink. With a little warm water and some shampoo, he tried to  41 the dead bunny as best he could. Then he took a hair dryer and blowdried the bunny  42 it looked pretty good.
Finally, under the cover of darkness, he crept into the next-door garden and placed it  43 in the cage. He managed to make the bunny look very  44 there in his little box.
The next morning, my friend looked out of the window and noticed a crowd of people  45 around the rabbit hutch(笼). Everyone seemed to be talking and pointing. My friend  46 to go over and act like any normal  47 neighbor and find out what was going on.
When he got there, Mary’s mother said to my friend, “You won’t believe this! It’s a(n)   48 thing! Mary’s bunny  49 a few days ago, and we buried that little bunny right over there…”
Have you ever tried to cover up one wrongdoing with another? Covering up only makes matters  50 .
When we get caught doing something  51 , for example, we may  52 to cover it up with a lie. But just like Mary’s bunny, the result is  53 what we expected. We  54 looking foolish. We would have been better off admitting we were wrong and accepting the  55 . What do you think of it?

Driving to a store after a busy day at work, I saw a man standing near the store holding a sign that said, “Will work for food.” I knew at that moment that I was going into the store and   36  him something to eat.
As I   37  the car park, I saw in my car mirror a lady come out from a hairdresser’s and 38  the man. I thought she must be going to give him some   39  or something to help him out. In the store I was   40   to get the things I needed and also the chicken dinner and a soda that I wanted to give the man outside. I hurried out to my car and   41  that I was going to be able to hopefully help this man.
When I drove out of the car park, I couldn’t see the   42 . As I turned the corner I saw the man sitting in a   43  area away from the hairdresser’s and still   44  up the sign. I immediately   45  over and gave the man the dinner and soda and said, “  46  this will get you through today.” He looked at me and said, “Thank you so much!”
As I got back into my car, I looked in the   47  and saw the man swallowing the dinner as if he hadn’t eaten for days.
I was so   48  that I was able to help him and at the same time I was so sad that the woman from the hairdresser’s,   49 , had asked the man to   50  from her shop. It’s sad to say that   51  I live in a small city where homeless is not as   52  as in larger cities, people are uncomfortable with these people in   53 . All they need to do is lend a helping hand  54  and it could make a huge   55  in their lives.
