(安徽省合肥市2007届高三第三次模拟考试)

There’s almost nothing good about goodbyes, but if something is missed, it is because it was good. I’m not good at writing and I don’t think it’s   36   to write this article, but I really need to   

  37   people who helped me   38   this year – people who made   39   in a different country easier.

The first day I got here, I went to make my   40  , and of course, the first person I got to meet was Carla. That’s   41   she’s the first person I thank, because of all the help with classes and the   42   she had with me.

Since as an exchange student I can’t   43  , I would like to thank all the people that sometimes offered me   44  . Thanks to all the people that were nice to me,   45  . They were friendly   46   not knowing me, not   47  a good day themselves, not understanding my   48  .

There’s a lot more to be thankful   49  , but all I can say is that this was   50   the best year of my life, and part of   51  is because of some people I met in this new High School. Some of these people are already   52  , some are graduating, and some I just met this school year.

I strongly believe that friends are always friends, regardless of age,   53  , race or anything else. People in need deserve having a place in others’ hearts. All the friends I   54   there will always be on my mind. I’ll   55   them.

I am sure many people have said about me, “He must be the happiest man in the world!” But they were wrong. 36   I was famous and had 37 money, I was not really happy. I found myself asking, “ 38  does all this not give me real happiness?”

Newspapers said, “Kriss Akabusi is the European champion. He has also  39   an Olympic bronze medal.” Now before all this happened, I had  40  , “If I can become a champion, I will be happy. I will  41   a lot of money and then enjoy  42  . I will have a good time.”

When I went to the Edinburgh Games, in my hotel  43  I found a book by my bedside. It was called What’s Real Happiness in Life? I  44   this book up and read some of the stories in it. The book mainly told about the happiness brought by helping others. But I said to  45  , “All these things are too  46   for me to do.”

But that night I had a  47  . I found myself standing by a river. I 48   a voice calling to me from the other side of the river. The voice said, “You know helping others is as  49   as crossing the river, and it’s not as difficult as you imagine.” Then suddenly I awoke. I realized I was  50   now when compared to before. I found I had real  51   of mind.

So I can now tell my friends what I have  52  . Being famous and having a lot of money  53   gave me happiness. So all I can say to you is this—we are  54   when we think that to be famous and rich will make us happy. Now I have a children’s TV program called Record Breakers. I have no  55   about what tomorrow will bring.
