One day, my English teacher asked me to help her save back-up（备份） copies of her work in the computer. I then realized I was able to know the grades of all of her students. I   36   her how to copy files（文件） from one disk to another and she thanked me.

  A few days later, she asked me to help her again, because she   37   how to do it. When I showed it to her, some students in my class   38   and began to talk among themselves   39  .Later that day, at lunch time, several of them came up to me.

  “Hey, could you help us change our grades? We’ll   40   for it.”

  I could not believe what I heard. I could get paid for something very  41 . “All right. I’ll do it.” The next day, my English teacher   42   me to help him out again. When he was not paying   43   , I changed their grades from Fs to As.

  I soon became very   44   among my friends. They began to treat me like God who could do   45  . Word spread quickly and I became very rich.

  Everything was going fine   46  I was called into the headmaster’s office. When I got there, both of my teacher and the headmaster were very angry. “ I don’t want to   47   what your teacher said, but I have to. She has too much evidence(证据),’’ the headmaster said. “Do you have anything to say for yourself?”

  “No,” I said finally. I didn’t realize how   48   my behavior had been. I had disappointed my teacher and the headmaster. And there was no way   49  . I had to leave my school. That was a good   50   for me.

  On my first day of the sixth grade, I noticed one little girl called Amy on the school bus. “Don’t talk to ___35___, ”Lauren said, who sat beside me, “or they will make fun of you. ”

  Amy had many physical differences—lots of ___36___ for other kids to make fun of her. Her eyes weren’t straight. Her glasses were an inch thick. And she had really ugly teeth.

    Every day as we drove to school, kids would shout insults（侮辱）at Amy. “God, what a（n） ___37___ face! Stop looking at me!” “Mr. Rolland! Amy took off her ___38___, and now her eyes are frightening me! Make her put them back on!” I also did that because I didn’t want them to treat me the same way they treated Amy.

  But while I was insulting her, my heart ___39___ for the girl. I could see that the insults were making her look ___40___, because she was so ashamed and alone. Then I wanted to stand up for her. I just didn’t know how to stop my schoolmates ___41___the night of our class roller skating party.

    Our whole class was there, including Amy. Amy didn’t know how to ___42___, but I could see how much she wanted to have fun like the rest of us. So I skated over to her and took her by the hand. We began the journey together around the skating rink. She just smiled, and sometimes she would laugh in___43___.

    On the school bus the next morning there was much news about Amy and me skating together, but ___44___ insulted her or me. And they didn’t do that for the rest of the year.

  After graduation, I never heard from Amy again. However. I never forget her and I’ve always ___45___ if I changed her life for the better. But I know for sure she changed my life. After becoming her friend, I no longer tried to impress（给……留下印象）people by trying to ___46___ like them. I became myself.

　 Each day I took the same route to work and passed by a security guard (保安）. 35 greeted everyone walking by and made small talk with many of the passers-by and wishing them well. His simple “hello” made people feel 　36 . His cheerful smile became a part of my day. When he was absent, many people noticed it, and I felt a little bit empty.

　 The first few times, I didn’t say hello back to him when he greeted me. I was 　37 in my own world. On Monday the security guard asked me:“How was your weekend?” I told him about my visit to California, to see my mother, who had colon cancer. I 　38 how I visited her each month. “The time with my mother is so precious(珍贵的), 　39 I know that each time may be the last.”

　 He listened like a close friend I’d known for years. He felt my 　40 and my love. He shared how he had lost his father to cancer two years before. He said, “I understand what you are going through. My father passed away while I was serving in Germany. Because of some reasons I was unable to fly back in time. I was unable to say goodbye to him. I wish I could have been with him, given him a hug, and told him I loved him. You are really lucky to have the gift of 　41 .”
　 As I walked away, I realized I did not even know his name. The following day, on my way to work, I said: “After we spent all that time 　42 yesterday, I still don’t know your name.” He answered, “Gary.” I responded back, “I’m Deborah.”

After that, we talked and shared stories about our weekends, dreams and families.
　 Later, Gary got 　43 a new job and moved away. It’s been several years since I last spoke to him, yet the memory feels like yesterday. Gary reached out to me, 　44 me and made my morning the best part of the day. I experienced the beauty of friendship and love.
　 In the business of life, we often forget to wish a stranger hello although how easy it is, and how great and lasting a 　45 it can make. When you say hello to a stranger you become like a pebble(鹅卵石) thrown into a pond. With each ripple (波纹）you create, you spread love that continues to 　46 . Make a point of saying hello to a stranger today. You will give the gift that keeps on giving.

　 Jennie sat at her window as usual, looking out upon the street, with a look of sadness on her face,“What a long day this is going to be!”

About ten years ago when I was a student at college, I spent my summer holidays 35 a museum. 　36 was hard for me then. Dad had lost his job and Mum was ill in bed. I was 37 if I would be able to go on with my study the next term.

　 One day while I was working, I saw an old man come in with a little girl 38 a wheelchair. As I looked 39 at this girl, I found that she had no arms　 40 legs. She was wearing a little white dress and she 41 had a hat on.

　 As the old man pushed the wheelchair up to me, I was busy with my work. I 42 my head toward the girl and gave her a wink ( 眨眼). When I took the money from her grandfather, I looked back at the girl, who was giving me the prettiest, largest smile I have 43 seen. Suddenly her handicap(生理缺陷) was 44 and all I saw was this beautiful girl, whose smile almost gave me a better understanding of what life is all about. She brought me into her 45 of smiles, love and warmth.

　 I'm now a successful businessman and 46 I get down and think about the trouble of the world, I think about that little girl and the unforgettable lesson about life that she taught me.
