On a cold November afternoon，my mother and 1 were walking home from a   21  ．We were dressed   22  ．1 was feeling a little   23 as 1 was carrying our shopping，and decided to throw away something．So I started to walk towards a   24 when I noticed a poor man walking out of the restaurant in front of us．He   25  over to another nearby dustbin and started looking through it．
I suddenly felt very guilty because 1 was about to throw away a new drink just because it was
  26 ．1 walked up to him and handed the   27  and some snacks over to him．The man looked up   28  and took what I gave him．
A huge smile   29  across his face and this   30   me to feel indescribable satisfaction．I felt I couldn’t be happier   31  myself．But then he said：“Wow，this is my son’s lucky day!”
With that，he thanked me happily and started off on his bike，I    32  heard him whistling a song as he rode away．
I got a warm  33 inside．I now understand  34 is meant by the saying “giving is getting”．
Although it only   35  a little action and a few words，I gained and learned more in those two minutes than I did in the rest of the month．Everyone in the world needs   36  ，everyone can   37  help and everyone will be helped by   38  kindness．
The image of that man’s happiness caused by my small gift appears in my mind every   39 I have the chance to do something nice．
This is the   40   of charity．

Monty Roberts, owner of a horse ranch (牧场) in San Ysidro, once told us a story. “When a young man was a senior, he was asked to write a paper about what he wanted to __ 36__  and do when he grew up. In his seven-page paper he described his __37__ of someday owning a horse ranch. He drew a __ 38__ floor plan（平面图）for a 4,000-square-foot house that would __ 39__ on a 200-acre dream ranch. Two days later he received his__40__back. On the front page was a __41__red F. The teacher said, “This is an __42__dream for a young boy like you. You have no money. Owning a horse ranch requires a lot of money. ” Then the teacher__43 __, “If you will rewrite this paper with a more realistic goal, I will reconsider your __44__.” The boy asked his father what he should do. His father said, “Look, son, you have to make up your own__45__on this. However, I think it is a very__46__decision for you.” __47__, after a week, the boy__48__the same paper, making no__49__at all. He stated, “You can keep the F and I’ll keep my __50__.”
Monty then turned to us and said, “I tell you this story__51__you are sitting in my 4,000-square-foot house in the middle of my 200-acre horse ranch. I still have that school paper framed (装框) over the fireplace.” He added, “The best part of the __52__is that two summers ago that same schoolteacher brought 30 kids to camp out on my ranch for a week. When the teacher was leaving, he said, “Look, Monty, I can tell you this now. When I was your teacher, I was __53__of a dream stealer. During those years I stole a lot of kids’ dreams. __54__you had enough determination not to give up on yours.”
Don’t let anyone__55__ your dreams. Follow your heart, no matter what.

Last Monday, at the beginning of class, I   31  asked my students how their weekend had been. One young man said that his weekend had not been so   32 . He had his wisdom teeth removed. Then the young man asked me why I   33  seemed to be so cheerful.
His question reminded me of something I’d read somewhere before: “Every morning when you get up, you have a choice about   34  you want to approach life that day,” I said. “I choose to be cheerful.”
“Let me give you an example.   35  teaching here, I also teach out at the community college in Henderson, 17 miles down the freeway from where I live. One day, I drove those 17 miles to Henderson. I   36  the freeway and turned onto College Drive, only another quarter mile ahead to the college. But just then my car died. I tried to start it again, but the engine   37  turn over. So I put my flashers on, grabbed my books, and marched down the road to the college.”
“  38  getting there I called AAA and arranged for a tow truck to meet me at my car after class. The secretary asked me what had happened. ‘This is my lucky day,’ I replied, smiling.”
“ ‘Your car breaks down and today is your lucky day?’ She was   39 . ‘What do you mean?’ ’’ “I live 17 miles from here.” I replied. “My car   40  have broken down   41  along the freeway. It didn’t.   42 , it broke down in the perfect place: off the freeway,   43  walking distance of here. I’m still able to teach my class, and I’ve been able to arrange for the tow truck to meet me after class.”
“The secretary’s eyes opened wide, and then she    44 . I smiled back and headed for class.” So ended my story.

Even though the son was always on the bench(候补选手), his father was always in the stands cheering. The young man loved 36  and determined to try his best at every practice. But he 37  remained a bench all four years in high school.
One day as he ran onto the practice field shortly before the big playoff game, the basketball coach met him with a 38 . The young man read the telegram and he became 39 . The coach put his arm 40  around his shoulder and said, “Take the rest of the week off, son. And don’t even plan to come back to the 41  on Saturday.” Saturday arrived, and the game was not going 42 .
In the third quarter, when the team was ten points behind, a silent young man ran onto the sidelines, the 43  and his players were astonished to see their 44  teammate back so soon.
“Coach, please let me 45 . I have just got to play today,” said the young man.

My wife and I bought a secondhand car for our tour. During our two months on the road, Lucy and I had a really  36  experience with a good, honest garage and some helpful  37 .
We were driving west on Highway 101 when our "check engine" light came on. We limped of (拐入) a (n )  38  into Las Cruces. We had a real car  39 . Lucy pulled the car into a local garage. By this time the car was  40  so badly that it was shaking all over. This was the  41  _ time to arrive at a garage--late Friday afternoon. Service adviser Olivia was busy  42  paper work and customers as we explained our problems.   43  there were already “ten cars behind”,  he told us to  44   the car into the garage.
Evelyn, who we later  45  was one of the top motor technicians, took  46  of our car repairing. He and Olivia and some other repairmen stayed several hours after closing,  47_     the car.
Early the next morning (the shop was  48  closed on Saturdays) , Evelyn finally located the problem and fixed it easily within only  49  .
Later Olivia pointed out to us that it was our  50  that helped. " You didn't come into the place demanding this or that. You showed an  51  of our problems on a busy Friday afternoon. Customer's attitude  52  a lot.  He was right in some way, customers should show politeness and understanding to people who  53   them. Even if people were extremely busy, they found way to  54  try and help when they are met with politeness.
The pleasant experience I had shows that  55  for other people can always help.

One day, when I was in high school, I saw a kid named Kyle walking home from school with all his books, I thought to myself, “   11  would anyone bring home all his books for the weekend? He must really be   12 .” As I was walking, I saw several kids running toward him. They ran at him,   13   all his books out of his arms and he fell down in the dirt. His glasses went   14  and landed in the grass.
My heart went out to him. So, I ran over to him.  15  I handed him his glasses, he looked at me and said, “Hey, thanks!”
I helped him pick up his books, and asked him where he lived. As it   16  , he lived near me. We talked all the way home. Over the next four years, Kyle and I became best friends.
Kyle was the   17  student of our class, one of those guys that really found  themselves during high school. Therefore he had the   18  to prepare a graduation speech. On the graduation day, I could see that he was   19 . So, I patted him on the back and said, “Hey, big guy, you’ll be great!” He looked at me and smiled.
He cleared his throat, and began. “Graduation is a time to   20  those who helped you make it through those   21  years. Your parents, your teachers… but mostly your friends, I am here to tell all of you that being a friend to someone is the best  22  you can give him.”
I just looked at my friend with disbelief as he told the story of the first day we met. He had planned to   23  himself over the weekend and was carrying his books home. “Thankfully, nothing happened. My friend   24  me from doing the unspeakable.”
Not until that moment did I realize that you should never underestimate(低估) the  25  of your actions. With one small gesture you can change a person’s life. For better or for worse.

I was tired and hungry after a long day of work. When I walked into the living-room, my 12-year-old son looked up at me and said, “I   41  you.” I did not    42  what to say, and I just stood there, looking  43  at him. My first    44   was that he    45  need help with his homework. Then I asked, “What was that all     46  ?”
“Nothing,” he said, “My teacher said we should tell our parents we love them and   47  what they say.”
The next day I called his teacher to    48   more about what my son said and how the other parents had reacted（反应） . “Most of the fathers had the    49   response as you did,” the teacher said, ”When I first         50    that we try this, I asked the children   51   they thought their parents    52   say. Some of them thought their parents would have heart trouble.”
Then the teacher   53  , “ I want my students to know that feeling love is an important part of    54  . I’m trying to tell them it’s too bad that we don’t express our feelings. A boy   55   tell his father or mother he loves him.” The teacher understands that sometimes it is   56   for some of us to say something that is good for us to say.
That evening when my son   57   to me, I took him in my arms and held on for an    58    moment, saying, “Hey, I love you,    59  .” I don’t know if saying that made    60   of us healthier, but it did feel pretty good.

When I first entered university, my aunt, who is an English professor, gave me a new English dictionary. I was   1  to see that it was an English English dictionary, also known as a monolingual（单语的） dictionary.   2  it was a dictionary intended for non-native learners, none of my classmates had one and, to be honest, I found it extremely  3  to use at first. I would look up words in the dictionary and still not fully understand the meaning. I was used to the   4  bilingual（双语的）dictionaries, in which the words are    5  both in English and Chinese. I really wondered why my aunt   6  to make things so difficult for me. Now, after studying English at university for three years, I   7 that monolingual dictionaries are  8 in learning a foreign language.
As I found out, there is in fact often no perfect equivalence(对应) between two  9  in two language. My aunt even goes so far as to  10 that a Chinese “equivalent” can never give you the   11 meaning of a word in English! Therefore, she insisted that I read the definition(定义) of a word in a monolingual dictionary when I wanted to get a better understanding of its meaning. 12  , I have come to see what she meant. 
Using a monolingual dictionary for learners has helped me in another important way. This dictionary uses a(n)   13  number of words, around 2, 000, in its definitions. When I read these definitions, I am  14 exposed to the basic words and learn how they are used to explain objects and ideas.  15 this, I can express myself more easily in English.
