Sometimes we need to remind ourselves that thankfulness is indeed a virtue (美德).
— William Bennett
Thanksgiving Day was coming. The first grade teacher gave her class a fun assignment (作業(yè)) — to draw a picture of   1  for which they were thankful.
Most of the class might be considered poor, but still many would   2  the holiday with turkey and other traditional food of the season. These, the teacher thought, would be the subject of most of her students’ art. And they were.
But Douglas made a   3  kind of picture. Douglas was a different kind of boy. He was the teacher’s true child of weak and unhappy. As other children played at   4 , Douglas used to stand close by her side. One could only guess at the pain that Douglas felt behind those sad   5 .
Yes, his picture was different. When he was asked to draw a picture of something for which he was thankful, he drew a   6 . Nothing else. Just an empty hand.
His abstract (抽象的) picture caught the   7  of his classmates. Whose hand could it be? One child guessed it was the hand of a farmer, because farmers   8  turkeys. Another suggested a police officer, because the police protect and   9  people. Still others guessed it was the hand of God, for God feeds us. And so the discussion went on — until the teacher almost forgot the young artist   10 .
When the children had gone on to other assignments, she stopped at Douglas’ desk, bent down, and   11  him whose hand it was. The little boy looked away and murmured, “It’s yours, teacher.”
She recalled the   12  when she had taken his hand and walked with him here or there, as she had the other students. How   13  she had said, “Take my hand, Douglas, we’ll go outside.” Or, “Let me show you how to hold your pencil.” Or, “Let’s do this together.” Douglas was very   14   for his teacher’s hand. Brushing aside a tear, she went on with her work.
The story speaks of more than thankfulness. It says something about teachers teaching and parents parenting and friends showing friendship, and how much it means to the Douglases of the world. They might not always say thanks, but they’ll remember the hand that   15  out.

Once upon a time there lived a woman who had a bad temper(脾氣). She  1 at everyone around her. For most of her life she believed the anger inside her was  2  else’s fault(過錯).
She went to see a wise monk(高僧) to ask for  3  .

Every morning she asked   8  if there was any anger inside her. And every morning the answer was, “yes.” So she continued  9 water. Until one afternoon when a man walked up, took the water pot out of her hand and drank the water up, and then  10 it onto the ground as he went on his way.
The woman was very  11 . Unable to control herself, she  12  the pot and threw it at the rude man. The pot broke into pieces over the back of his head and he fell to the ground, bleeding.
As the woman calmed down, she realized the mistake of what she had made and began to cry. She called 911 and  13  what had happened. A moment later an ambulance(救護(hù)車) and two police cars arrived and took the man away. Then one of the police officers walked over to the woman, who was  14 crying, and said, “ The city owes(欠) you a big ‘thank you.’ That man has been  15 our wanted list for over a year now.

This morning, I walked on that road as usual.    4   I was walking back down the road, on my way back    5   the car, I met a man. I saw him    6  
on the grass by the roadside. He was breathing(呼吸) really    7  . I asked if he was OK. He said he was    8   tired to walk anymore. I thought he needed some    9  . So I began to look for some clean water.    40  , there weren’t any places to get water in    11   a nature park. I walked back to my car    12  
to see if there was some. Because I sometimes bring bottled water and leave    13  
in my car. Thankfully, I found some today.
Instead of (代替) drinking it myself, I drove back to the man and gave him my bottle of water. Then I gave him a    14   back to his car. He was so thankful! I could tell he was very happy and surprised that someone was    15   to come back for him and give him some water. And also, I was very happy that I could share my water with others.
