I was 14 when Mr. Ingram hired me as a farmhand. It was the first time I was actually      for work. One day Mr. Ingram found an old truck that was      in the soft,sandy soil of our field. It was full of melons that someone had tried to      from our farm before his truck got caught in the mud.
Mr. Ingram explained that the truck’s owner would be       soon, and he wanted me to watch and learn. It wasn’t long       a local guy with a terrible reputation for fighting and stealing showed up with his two fully-grown sons. They looked really       .
Calmly Mr. Ingram said, “Well, I see you want to       some watermelons from us.”
There was a long       before the man answered, “Yeah, I guess so. What are you       for them?”
“Twenty-five cents each.”
“Well, I suppose that would be       enough if you help me get my truck out of here,” the man said.
It turned out to be our biggest sale of the summer, and an awful, perhaps violent incident had been      . After they left, Mr. Ingram smiled and said to me, “Son, if you don’t forgive your    , you’re going to run out of friends.”

Back in the 15th century, in a tiny village in Germany, lived a family with eighteen children. Eighteen! In order       to keep food on file table, the father, a goldsmith(金匠)by      , worked almost eighteen hours a day at his trade. Despite their seemingly       condition, two of the eldest children had a dream. They both wanted to pursue their talent for art,       they knew well that their father would never be able to       either of them to study at the Academy.
After many long discussions at night in their       bed, the two boys finally worked out an agreement. They would toss(擲)a coin. The       would go down into the nearby mines and, with his earnings,       his winning brother for the academy. Then, in four years, he would support the other one. Then Albrecht Durer won the toss and       to Nuremberg. Albert went down into the dangerous mines and, for the next four years,       his brother, whose work at the academy was almost an immediate sensation(轟動(dòng))- By the time he graduated, he was beginning to       considerable fees for himself.
When the young artist       home and said to his brother, “And now, Albert, blessed brother of mine, now it is your      . Now you can go to the Academy to pursue your dream, and I will       you. ”Albert rose and wiped tile       from his cheeks. “No, brother. I cannot go to Nuremberg. It is too       for me. Look…look what four years in the mines have done to my      ! I cannot even hold a glass, much less make delicate lines on canvas (畫(huà)布)  __    a pen or a brush.”
More than 450 years have      . By now, among Albrecht Durer’s hundreds of masterful portraits, “The Praying Hands” is one       creation that can catch the world’s hearts.

Once inside, my daughters whispered, “Mom, he      .” After we ordered our lunch, I explained, telling the kids to look       the dirt.We then watched other customers approach the restaurant but many        him.Seeing this rudeness truly upset me.The day I became a mother, I had resolved to set a good       for my children.Yet sometimes when things didn’t go right, being a good example was      . When our meal arrived, I realized I had left the car-sick pills in the truck.With the windiest trip ahead, the kids needed them, so I        myself from the meal and went to get them.
Just then, the “doorman” was opening the door for a couple.They rushed past him without even acknowledging his       . Letting them in first, I said a loud “thank you” to him as I      
When I returned, we talked a bit.He said he was not allowed inside        he purchased food.I went back and told my family his       .Then I asked our waitress to add one soup and sandwich.The kids looked        as we had already eaten, but when I said the order was for the “doorman” , they smiled.When it was time to        our trip, I noticed the "doorman" enjoying his meal.Upon seeing me, he stood up and thanked me heartily.He then       his hand for a handshake and I gratefully accepted.I suddenly noticed the tears in his eyes—tears of       .What happened next drew great astonishment: I gave the “doorman” a      ! He could hardly say a word, with tears       down his face.
Back in truck, I fell into deep thought.While we can't choose many things in life, we can choose when to show gratitude.I said thanks to a man who had        held open a door for me, and also said thanks for that       to teach my children by example.

A flock of wild ducks were flying in formation, heading south for the winter. They formed a beautiful V in the sky, and were admired by everyone who saw them from below.
One day, Wally, one of the wild ducks in the formation, spotted something on the ground. It was a barnyard with a flock of _   ducks who lived on the farm. They were waddling around on the ground, quacking merrily and eating _   that was thrown on the ground for them every day. Wally liked what he saw. "It sure would be nice to have some of that corn," he thought to himself. "And all this flying is very tiring. I'd like to just __  around for a while."
So after thinking it over a while, Wally left the formation of wild ducks, made a sharp __ , and   for the barnyard. He landed _   the tame ducks, and began to waddle around and quack   . He also started eating corn. The formation of wild ducks continued their journey South, but Wally didn't care. "I'll __  them when they come back North in a few months," he said to himself.
Several months went by and __ enough, Wally looked up and spotted the flock of wild ducks in formation, heading north. They looked beautiful up there. And Wally was tired of the   . It was muddy and  he waddled, there was nothing but duck doo. "It's time to leave." said Wally.
So Wally _ his wings furiously and tried to get airborne. But he had gained some  from all his corn-eating, and he hadn't exercised his wings much either. He finally   the ground, but he was flying too _   and slammed into the side of the barn. He fell to the ground with a thud and said to himself, "Oh, well, I'll just wait until they fly __  in a few months. Then I'll rejoin them and become a wild duck again."
When the flock flew overhead once more, Wally again tried to   himself out of the barnyard. But he simply didn't have the strength. Every winter and every spring, he saw his wild duck friends flying overhead, and they would   to him. But his attempts to leave were all    .
Eventually Wally no longer paid any attention to the wild ducks flying overhead. He hardly even noticed them. He had  , become a barnyard duck.
