Walking over to the offender, I asked for the   46 . Frozen, she refused to give it to me. I waited, all attention in the classroom on the quiet   47  between teacher and student. When she finally   48  it over she whispered, “Okay, but I didn’t draw it.”
It was a hand-drawn   49  of me, teeth blackened and the words “I’m stupid” coming out of my mouth.
I managed to fold it up calmly. My mind,  50  , was working angrily as I struggled not to   51 . I figured I knew the two most likely candidates for drawing the picture. It would do them some   52  to teach them a lesson, and maybe it was high time that I did it!
Thankfully, I was able to keep myself   53 .
When there were about six minutes remaining, I showed the class the picture. They were all silent as I told them how   54  this was for me. I told them there must be a reason behind and now was their   55   to write down anything they needed to tell me. Then I let them write silently   56  I sniffed in the back of the classroom.
As I   57  the notes later, many of them said something like, “I’ve got nothing against you.” or “I’m sorry you were hurt.” Some kids said, “We’re afraid of you.” But two notes, from the girls who I   58  were behind the picture, had a list of issues. I was too   59 , too strict …
Reading those notes, I realized that over the course of this year, instead of   60  my student, I had begun commanding them to   61 . Where I thought I was driving them to success I was   62  driving them away.
I had some apology to do. But the next day I the classroom, one boy and one girl each handed me a card. The one   63  by all the boys expressed sincere regret for the ugly joke. The one from the girls asked for   64 .
This was a lesson for both the kids and me. Forgiveness does not change the past, but it does enlarge the   65 .

I used to hate being called upon in class mainly because I didn’t like attention drawn to myself. And   36   otherwise assignen（指定）a seat by the teacher, I always    37  to sit at the back of the classroom.
All this    38   after I joined a sports team. It began when a teacher suggested I try out for the basketball team. At first I thought it was a crazy   39   because I didn’t have a good sense of balance, nor did I have the   40  to keep pace with the others on the team and they would tease me. But for the teacher who kept insisting on my “   41  for  it”, I wouldn’t have decided to give a try.
Getting up t he courage to go to the tryouts was only the    42  of it! When I first started  43   
the practice sessions, I didn’t even know the rules of the game, much    44 what I was doing. Sometimes I’d get     45   and take a shot at the wrong direction—which made me feel really stupid.   46   , I wasn’t the only one “new” at the game, so I decided to    47    on learning the game, do my best at each prctice session, and not be too hard on myself for the things I didn’t    48  “just yet”.
I practiced and practiced. Soon I knew the   49  and the “moves”. Being part of a team was fun and moticating. Very soon the competitive   50  in me was winning over my lack of confidence. With time, I learned how to play and made friends in the   51    — friends who respect my efforts to work hard and be a team player. I never had so much fun!
With my    52   self-confidence comes more praise from teachers and classmates. I have gone from   “53”  in the back of the classroom and not wanting to call attention to myself,   54  
raising my hand — even when I sometimes wasn’t and not 100 percent   55  I had the right answer. Now I have more self-confidence in myself.

This year I decided to do something to regain my good name as a kindly uncle. My  36   Tony,had never forgiven me for the dictionary I had bought him as a birthday present last year. His 37  had no reason to be thankful to me either,because the year before, I had   38  their dear son with a pot of paste(浆糊) and some funny pictures. Instead of   39   them into a book, Tony had naturally covered every wall in the house with them. This year,   40 , I decided to let him  41  for himself.
We went into a big shop,but Tony was very particular about   42  . Although I tried to show him toy after toy,he was not to be   43 . Then I saw he suddenly became  44 ; he had discovered something he really liked: a large tin dram. I was quite happy too   45    I thought what Tony’s mother would say when she saw it. Nobody would get any    46   for weeks! I led Tony away   47 , saying that the dram was too expensive.
Tony asked for permission to go off    48    and I made the most of my chance to sit down end    49   my aching feet. Fifteen minutes passed but there was still no sign of Tony. I began to get   50   and got up to look for him. I asked a young lady if she had seen a little boy in a grey suit. She looked    51   her helplessly and pointed out that there were so many   52
in grey suits. I was just going to call the police for help,when I saw a strange   53  dressed in strange orange clothes. He was wearing a false beard and had a caveman’s axe(斧子)in one hand,and a space gun in the other. It was, of course,Tony, who informed me  54   that he was the first   55  to fly into space.

 
People in communities have slowly been pushed apart through the years, mostly because people simply aren’t taking the time to say a simple “hello,” After considering this phenomenon, I decided I was going to   36   the way I was doing things.
My   37   came one morning when I was in the community library. I passed by a girl who   38   her books out of her locker .Thinking like most that someone else would help her pick them up, I continued my way. However, when I had to   39   because I stupidly forgot my book, I noticed she had just finished packing them up by herself he one had stopped to   40   her.
“OK,” I thought to myself, “this is where I should have changed.”
My best opportunity came a few days later when I saw a man   41   by himself waiting for the library to open ,so I sat down next to him and began a   42  .It was difficult to get started ,and even when I had to say goodbye, almost every   43   from my new friend had a tone (语气) of doubt in it ,And who could blame him?
People aren’t used to making an   44   chat with a stranger. But a change, no matter how   45   it is needed, doesn’t just happen. It takes people like us to make it possible. I    46    you to take a small step out of your comfort zone and try to make someone’s day a little brighter, Together, we can really make   come   47    as a whole.

A boy was walking home from school when he saw a large, tempting （诱人的）apple on one of the branches of an apple tree hanging out over a tall fence. The boy wasn’t much of a fruit-eater,  36 a bar of chocolate if given the choice,     37   , as they say, the forbidden fruit can be tempting. Seeing the apple, the boy wanted it. The more he looked at it, the   38   he felt and the more he wanted that apple.
39  as high as he could, but even as his tallest  40  he was unable to touch It. He began to  41 up and down , as high as he could, at the  42  of each jump stretching his arms to get the apple . Still it remained out of 43 .   Not giving up , he though , if only he had something to  44  on . His school bag wouldn’t give enough height and he didn’t want to  45  the things inside , like his lunch box , pencil case , and Gameboy. Looking  46  , he hoped he might find an old box , a rock , or ,   47  luck , even a ladder , but it was a tidy neighborhood and there was nothing he could use. He had tired everything he could think to do.   48  seeing any other choices , he gave up and started to walk   49  . At first he felt angry and disappointed thinking about how hungry he had become from his  50  , and how he really wanted that apple . The more he  51 like this , the more unhappy he became.
52  ,the boy of our story was a pretty smart guy, even if he couldn’t always get what get he wanted .He started to say to himself . This isn’t    53    ,I   don’t have the apple and I’m feeling miserable as well.There’s 54   more I can do to get the apple-that is unchangeable-but we are supposed to be able to  55  our feelings. If that’s the case, what can I do to feel better?

When I was about 13, my father would take me on short outings on Saturdays. On the way home, Dad  36  stopped at the Dairy Queen for 10-cent ice creams. I couldn’t  37 it, but I could pray from the   38  we started heading home to that corner where we would either go straight for the ice cream or  39  and go home empty-handed.

On one special day, we were heading home, and again I was praying for the  42  sound of his offer. It   43 . “Would you like an ice cream today?” “That sounds great, Dad!” But then he said, “How would you like to  44  today?”
Twenty cents! My mind reeled（震惊）. I could afford it. I got a weekly allowance of 25 cents, plus some  45  for odd jobs（零活）. But  46 it was my money, ice cream wasn’t a good use of it. In a fit of  47 , I said, “Well, in that case, I guess I’ll   48  .”My father just said, “Okay, Son.”
But as we headed home, I realized how wrong I was and begged him to  49 . But he just said, “That’s okay, we don’t really need one.” I felt  50  for my selfishness and ungratefulness. He didn’t mind, or  51  act disappointed.

That day I was later for school, so Mom offered me a   36 . I sat beside her in our car, daydreaming about my  37 . I’d be graduating from high school in a few months. I’d leave high school behind and do whatever I wanted. What  38 I do? Go to college? Or get a job in an office where I could  39 my way up?
Mom interrupted my thoughts.“Kassandra, do you  40  that?’’She asked just as we were  41  the railroad tracks. She stopped the car on the other side and   42  the window. “It looks like a child.’’  43 ,I saw a small boy walking by himeself.

God, let me get to him! The train was almost on top of him. I   50 the boy in my arms. Keep running! But something   51
