It’s Saturday morning. Tony’s sitting at the kitchen table,  36  with a piece of bread. He’s not even   37 . Is he ill? No, but he does have a   38  .He has nothing to do becau se the Internet is down. When he   39  up this morning, Tony was feeling   40  . He jumped out of bed full of plans for the   41  ahead.

What is the purpose of the World Games? What's the difference between the World Games and the Olympic Games?

_50 _the Olympic Games, the World Games have a rather _51_ history．In 1981, the first World Games were held in Santa Clara．Since then, in the year following the Olympics, some of the world's best athletes _52_ in their common search for _53_ at the world Games．

There are usually 25 to 35 _54_ at the World Games, The events at the World Games are not part of the Olympics or ones were part of the Olympic Games．Many events at the World Games _55_ as Olympic events, like weightlifting and badminton．They got their start as events at the World Games _56_ being moved into the Olympics．Just like the Olympics, the World Games also have _57_ competitions．These competitions get the sport the chance to be seen and the chance to become medal events．

The World Games are _58_ tied to the Olympic Games because the International Olympic Committee is the sponsor of the International World Games Association．The International Olympic Committee has decided that the number of Olympic participants is _59_ 10,500．The new policy means that no World Games competitions will be _60_ the Olympics any time soon．   

This year, the World Games were held in Taiwan．Some events, like softball, _61_ be Olympic sports but were dropped and now are _62_ for the World Games．The World Games look like a perfect supplement and _63_ ground for future Olympic Games．So next time you get a chance to watch the World Games, you may want to pay attention as it could be the future, or maybe even _64_．

It’s never easy to admit you are in the wrong. Being human, we all need to know the art of    31  . Look back with honesty and think how often you’ve judged   32 , said unkind things, pushed yourself ahead at the   33  of a friend. Then count the occasions   34  you indicated clearly and truly that you were   35 . A bit frightening, isn’t it? Frightening because some deep   36  in us knows that when even a small wrong has been   37 , some mysterious moral feeling is disturbed; and it stays out of balance until fault is acknowledged and     38  is expressed.

I remember a doctor friend, the late Clarence Lieb, telling me about a man who came to him with a variety of   39 : headaches, insomnia and stomach trouble. No   40  cause could be found. Finally my friend said to the man, “  41  you tell me what’s worrying you, I can’t help you.” After some   42 , the man confessed that, as executor of his father’s will, he had been   43  his brother, who lived abroad, of his inheritance (继承权). Then and there the wise old doctor made the man write to his brother   44  forgiveness and enclosing a cheque as the first step in restoring their good   45 . He then went with him to mail box in the corridor. As the letter disappeared, the man   46  crying. “Thank you,” He said, “I think I’m   47 .” And he was. A heartfelt apology can not only heal a damaged relationship but also make it   48 . If you can think of someone who   49  an apology from you, someone you have wronged, or just neglected, do something about it   50 .
