I grew up poor –living with my wonderful mother. We had little money ,but plenty of love and attention . I was 36 and energetic. I understood that no matter how poor a person was , he could still 37 a dream.
My dream was to be a(n) 38 .By the time I was 16, I started playing baseball. I could throw a ninety-mile-per hour fastball and 39 anything that moved on the football field. I was also 40 : My high school coach was John , who not only believed in me ,but also taught me 41 to believe in myself .He 42 me the difference between having a dream and remaining true to that dream .One particular 43 with Coach John changed my life forever .
A friend recommended ( suggested ) me for a summer job. This meant a chance for money in my packet-money for a new bike, new clothes and the 44 of savings for a house for my mother .Then I realized I would have to 45 up summer baseball to handle the work schedule, and that meant I would have to tell John I wouldn’t be playing.
When I told John , he was 46 as I expected him to be . “You have your whole life to work ,” he said . “ Your 47 days are limited .You can’t afford to waste them.” I stood before him with my head 48 ,trying to think of the 49 that would explain to him why my dream of buying my mom a house and having money in my pocket was worth facing his 50 in me.
“ How much are you going to make at this job, son?” he asked . “3.5 dollars an hour.” I replied.
“Well.” he asked , “is 3.5 dollars an hour the price of a dream?”
That simple questions made 51 for me the difference between 52 something right now and having a 53 . I decided myself to play sports that summer and with the year I was 54 by the Pittsburgh Pirates to play baseball ,and was 55 a $20000 contract ( agreement ) .In 1999, I bought my mother the house of my dream !

Just recently I had been wondering if there was much point in doing little acts of kindness. So often they get 36 , and occasionally they come back to bite you!
Then, just last week, after a long travel, I found myself 37 at a bus station. The bus was four hours late! So, I guess I wasn’t in a good 38 .
That’s when a woman asked me if I had any spare 39 to help her get a bus ticket.
“Oh, sure,” I said sarcastically (挖苦地). “How much would you like?”
As I spoke, I mentally kicked myself for my 40 and reached into my bag for some money. As I handed her five dollars, I heard low sounds from her stomach because of real 41 .
I reached back into my bag and brought out a 42 I had bought earlier. I handed it to her with a(n) 43 that I hoped would make up for my earlier tone of voice. Getting a 44 look at her now, I realized she was extremely tired, like she had had several months of 45 days!
As she took the food, a look of 46 washed over her. In return, she tried to give me a Milwaukee bus ticket! I don’t live in Milwaukee and the ticket will probably 47 be used, but I took it.
A few minutes later she came back over, apologized, and told me she was still 48 of five dollars. I took some singles out of my bag and slipped a twenty in there as well. 49 , the voice in my head told me I was being a fool.
Five minutes later she came back again and tried to 50 my twenty. When I said it was for her so she could get something else to 51 , and that I was completely serious and I wasn’t taking it 52 , she started crying and hugged me.
From now on, when I wonder if it is 53 trying to help someone, I will remember that woman. Maybe I am really making a 54 for someone. So, sure, sometimes my efforts might not be noticed, and sometimes they might come back to bite me, but they might actually 55 another human being!

The story of the touchstone(探金石) tells of a man who was told that if he could find the touchstone, its magical powers could give him anything he wanted. It could be found, he was 31 , among the pebbles (卵石) of a beach. All he need to do is 32 a stone.If it feels warm, the magical touchstone is 33 .
The man rushed to the beach without delay. When he 34 a pebble that felt cold, he threw it into the sea. He 35 this practice for weeks. Each pebble felt cold, and each pebble was 36 thrown into the sea..
But one morning, he 37 to take hold of a pebble that felt 38 , unlike the other stones. The man, who had 39 noticed the difference, threw it into the sea. He hadn’t 40 to, but he had formed a habit that can be 41 to break.
Any behavior one 42 is strengthened. Repeated often enough, it becomes a(n) 43 . A Spanish proverb says, “Habits are first cobwebs (蜘蛛网), then cables (钢索).” It works well for 44 habits that first trap us like a cobweb. And if we continue the behavior, the 45 grows stronger and can be as difficult to break as a steel cable. 46 some habits can work in our 47 , such as patterns of our lives, positive attitudes and healthy ways of thinking. We form our habits, then our habits form us 48 .
When it 49 habits, practice may not make perfect. But practice will certainly make permanent. So form the habits you want and let them 50 you into the person you want to be.

Our thoughts, words, and actions often cause harm to others and to us． Without reconciliation
（和解）, we cannot deepen our understanding and only cause more suffering． "Beginning Anew" is
a（n） 36 of reconciliation． It involves three steps ---- sharing appreciation, expressing 37 , and expressing hurt and difficulties．
In the first step, we share appreciation． We acknowledge the 38 qualities of the other person． The second step -- expressing regret, is to 39 with the other person our regrets for the things we have done or said that might have caused him or her 40 ． This requires humility （谦逊）, and the 41 to let go of our own pride． In the third step, we 42 our own hurt with mindf
ul and loving 43 without blaming or criticizing． We speak in such a way that the other person can listen and 44 our words． If we 45 the other person, his heart will 46 and he will not be able to hear us． We ask the other person to help us to understand 47 he has spoken and acted as he has , causing us so much pain． Perhaps, later, he can share his feelings 48 we can understand him more deeply． If a strong 49 arises in us while we are expressing our suffering, we should simply 50 and come back to our breathing until the emotion becomes 51 ． The other person can 52 us by following his breathing until we are ready to continue． We can enjoy pr
acticing 
"Beginning Anew" with our partner, our family, or our friends 53 ． By doing this, we will 54 misunderstandings from accumulating． Rather, we will take care of them as they arise, 55 we take care of our children．
