I had a very special teacher in high school many years ago and suddenly her husband died of a heart attack. One day, about a week after her husband’s      , the teacher said, “Before class is over, I would like to share with all of you a (n)        in life that is unrelated to this class, but I feel it is very       .”
“Each of us is put here on        to learn, share, love and appreciate. None of us knows when this fantastic        will end. It can be        at any moment. Perhaps we must make the most out of every single       .” Her eyes beginning to       , she went on, “So I would like you all to make me a(n)       . From now on, on your way, find something beautiful to       . It doesn’t have to be something you see—it could be a sweet smell or it could be the sound of the      leaves. Please look for these things, and cherish (珍視) them.”
The class was completely quiet. We all        our books and got out of the classroom       . That afternoon, I noticed more things on my way home from        than I had that whole term. Every once in a while, I think of that teacher and        what she had said, and I try to appreciate all of those things that        we all ignore.
Take notice of something special you see on your lunch hour today.     on the beach at sunset. Stop off on the way home tonight to        an ice cream. For as we get       , it is not the things we did that we often feel       , but the things we didn’t do.

Eighty-year-old retired tailor, James McKay, spent Saturday night in jail after      thirty-year-old Keith Smith over the head      his walking stick. McKay's wife, Laurence told us that while McKay is usually a        person, he had been        to this act of violence by getting wet just once too often.
Smith lives above the McKays and it appears that not only is he a keen gardener, he is also a        collector. Unfortunately for him, the water he sent over his balcony every day ended up on the McKay's, or too often, on the McKays       .
“For the last fortnight, since Smith moved into the flat above us, we have hardly dared to go to our       ,” said Laurence. She added that it wasn't so much the water falling onto their balcony from Smith watering his plant        bothered them, it was more the way he cleaned his fish tanks. “We'd be        there happily reading our newspapers, when        so much water would come from above that we'd be as wet as if we'd        with our clothes on! Neither could we get rid of the        of fish!”
And on Saturday evening it was just too       . “It was James's birthday,” explained Laurence, “and I'd made him a birthday cake. The candles were a great sight as you can imagine, but James didn't get to blow them out.”       , Smith emptied one of his larger tanks over his balcony and both the McKays and the cake were wet       . Rarely had Laurence seen McKay move so fast. “I couldn't        him. He was up there in a flash. It was the fastest I'd seen him move since 1964.”
Smith is not going to take things further with the police. He has also promised to change his        from now on. And what of James McKay?        he left the police station, a large crowd of supporters sang him, “Happy Birthday”. “      the most exciting birthday       !” said the cheerful old man. “The best since my adolescence I'd say!”

As I walked, I thought seriously    giving up both acting and San Francisco.    had become too much for me.
As I walked down    streets under tall buildings, I felt very    and cold. I began running, both to keep warm and to keep away from any possible robbers. Very few people were still out except a few sad-looking homeless people under blankets.
About a block from my apartment, I heard a sound behind me. I turned   , half expecting to see someone with a knife or a gun. The street was empty.    I saw was a shining streetlight.   , the noise had made me nervous, so I started to run fast. Not until I reached my apartment building and unlocked the door did I realize what the noise had been. It had been my wallet falling to the sidewalk.
  I wasn’t cold or tired anymore. I ran out of the door and back to    I’d heard the noise.    I searched the sidewalk anxiously for fifteen minutes, my wallet was nowhere to be found.
Just as I was about    the search, I heard the garbage truck pull up to the sidewalk next to me. When a voice    from the inside. “Alisa Camacho?” I thought I was dreaming. How could this man know my name? The door opened, and out jumped a small red-haired man with an     look in his eyes. “Is this what you’re looking for?” he asked,    a small square shape.
It was nearly 3 a. m. by the time I got into bed. I    get much sleep that night, but I had gotten my wallet back. I    had gotten back some enjoyment of city life. I realized that the city couldn’t be a bad place    people were willing to help each other.

Frank laughed as he tried to tear at the wrapping paper on his birthday present. He was so     ! Finally, he would have the coolest pair of name-brand basketball shoes.
All the guys on his team were wearing the name-brand shoes of a popular basketball   _, Chuck Hart. While Hart was   for his poor sportsmanship and infamous   , he was a great player. In fact, Frank wasn't thinking about Hart’s behavior; he had only expected to see Hart’s      on the side of the box. The first indication that something was      came as he tore away the last piece of paper. Not Hart’s. The new shoes were the name-brand of another player, Robert Ryann, who was      for his amazing work in the community.
Frank’s hands      ; his heart stopped. It wasn't that the Ryann shoes weren’t nice, but what would his friends think ?
They were the wrong shoes and Frank would be      by the other players. When he looked up into his dad’s eyes, however, Frank decided he     not tell him. “Thanks, Dad. I was really hoping for shoes,” Frank said as he pulled the shoes out of the box.
The next morning his dad drove him to school. When they      in front of his destination, Frank slowly opened the car door. Just then, his dad stopped him.
“Hey, Frank, wait a minute, look…” his dad said      ,“Frank, I know those aren’t the shoes you had hoped for, but I saw the names of the two guys and made a（n）     . The guy whose name is on those shoes,” he said, pointing down at Frank’s feet, “is someone I      . Do you know how often Ryann has found himself in     ?”
“No,” Frank said.
“Never. He’s never talked back to his coach or started a fight, and he’s a team player. You could have acted like a (n)      when you didn’t get the shoes you wanted, Frank ,      you were polite and made the best of it. You have such a good      , like the guy whose name is on these shoes. I’m hoping that someday, your name will be on the coolest pair of shoes I’ll ever see.”

A friend of mine named Paul received an expensive car from his brother as a Christmas present．On Christmas Eve when Paul came out of his office，a street urchin (頑童)was walking around the shining car. “Is this your car，Paul？”he asked．
Paul answered，“Yes，my brother gave it to me for Christmas．”The boy was surprised．“You mean your brother gave it to you and it didn’t cost you nothing？Boy，I wish…”He hesitated(猶豫)．
Of course Paul knew what he was going to wish for．He was going to wish he had a brother like that. But what the boy said surprised Paul greatly.
“I wish，”the boy went on，“that I could be a brother like that．”P(pán)aul looked at the boy in surprise， then he said again， "Would you like to take a ride in my car？”
“Oh yes，I’d love that．”
After a short ride，the boy turned and with his eyes shining，said，“Paul，would you mind driving in front of my house？”
Paul smiled a little．He thought he knew what the boy wanted．He wanted to show his neighbors that he could ride home in a big car. But Paul was wrong again. "Will you stop where those two steps are？ the boy asked．
He ran up to the steps. Then in a short while Paul heard him coming back， but he was not coming fast. He was carrying his little crippled (殘疾的)brother. He sat him down on the step and pointed to the car.
“There she is，Buddy，just like I told you upstairs. His brother gave it to him for Christmas and it didn’t cost him a cent. And some day I’m going to give you one just like it…then you can see for yourself all the nice things in the Christmas windows that I’ve been trying to tell you about.”
Paul got out and lifted the boy to the front seat of his car. The shining-eyed older brother climbed in beside him and the three of them began an unforgettable holiday ride.

The Johnson family from England believe they are lucky to be alive after surviving an incredible incident off the coast of Australia. The Johnsons had been ____ that they might see some whales when they were ____ a yacht—a large expensive boat for a 10-day sailing ____ around the Whitsunday Islands. ____, they had no clue just how ____ their viewing would be. Two hours into their journey a nine-meter-long humpback whale ____ out of the ocean and crashed into their boat before returning to the water.
　　Mark Johnson，the eldest son，was sailing the yacht when he heard an immense bang and a thud (重?fù)袈?. He ____ thought the yacht had hit a rock. But when he looked up, he saw the whale ____ down the deck of the boat. He told the reporters, “We were staring into its right eye. It was a very ____ moment. The eye was about the ____ of a dinner plate. It was huge!”
　　____ for the Johnson family, no one was hurt, but the yacht suffered ____ damage. The whale had ruined the mast and rigging—the pole and ropes which hold the ____ —and so the family was left with no way at sea, 10 miles from the shore. The ____ equipment was also damaged, but fortunately they had a cell phone and were able to call for help.
　　Why the whale jumped onto the yacht is a ____，but the family thinks that maybe the boat had not ____ sailed between the whale and its baby calf. Perhaps the whale was trying to ____ its calf when it jumped, and hit the yacht by accident.
　　____ the reason, people are completely ____ that this incident happened. There is over 135 million square miles of ocean, so what are the ____ of a whale jumping onto a 30-foot-long yacht? The possibility of something like this happening is extremely small, but it just shows that life is full of surprises.
