We all have storms through our lives. But we have no right to make everyone else suffer with our own   31 .

The carpenter I   32  to help me restore an old farmhouse had just finished a(n)   33  first day on the job. A flat tire made him lose an hour of work, his electric saw quit, and now his truck   34  to start.

While I drove him home, he sat in stony   35  .

On arriving, he invited me in to meet his family. As we walked toward the front door, he paused   36   at a small tree,   37  tips of the branches with both hands.

When opening the door, he underwent a(n)   38  transformation. His tanned face was wreathed in smiles, and he   39   his two small children and gave his wife a kiss.

The next day my   40  drove me to ask him about what I had seen. “Oh, that’s my trouble tree,” he replied. “I know I can’t   41  having troubles on the job, but the troubles don’t   42  to the house with my family. So I just   43  them up on the tree. Then in the morning I pick them up again.”

“  44  thing is,” he smiled, “when I come out in the morning to pick them up, there aren’t nearly as   45  as I remember the night before.”

Putting   46  around our problems is a really good idea --- it prevents our difficulties from spilling over onto loved people, who can’t do anything about our problems. Why   47  them if they can’t help us?

So, plant yourself a trouble tree outside and use it   48   you come home. Be grateful that you have loved ones to go home to    49  your loved one is simply your beloved dog. And when you picked up your troubles on the way each morning, be   50  that they’re not as heavy as they were the night before.

Different people use different languages. We Chinese speak Chinese, and, most of us are learning a foreign language. But there is another kind of language we need to know --- the language of the body.
All over the world, people “talk with their hand, with their heads and with their eyes.” When Japanese people meet, they bow. When Indians meet, they put their hands together. What do American and British do? Americans are more imformal(不拘小節(jié)的) than the British. They like to be friendly. They use first names, they ask questions and they talk easily about themselves. When they sit down, they like to relax in their chairs and make themselves comfortable. British people are more reserved(保守的). They take more time to make friends. They like to know you before they ask your name.
When British or American people meet someone for the first time, they shake hands. They do not usually shake hands with people they know well. Women sometimes kiss their women friends, and men kiss women friends (on one cheek only). When a man meets a man, he just smiles, and says, “Hello.” Men do not kiss each other, or hold hands. Even fathers and sons do not often kiss each other.

完形填空。
     True forgiveness is one of the most remarkable qualities a human can possess!
     In the fighting between two countries in the 1970s, a young man was walking from one village to the
next when he was    1     by an armed guerrilla (游擊隊) fighter from the enemy country. The fighter 
  2    the young man down the hill where he was to be   3    .
     But a (n)   4    thing happened. The young man, who had   5    military (軍事的) training, was able
to disarm (解除武裝) the fighter. Now, the table was   6    , and it was the fighter who was ordered
down the hill.
     As they walked,   7   , the young man began to reflect on what was happening. Recalling the    8    of
his mother, "Love your enemies; do good to those who    9   you." he found he could go no further. He
   10   the gun into the bushes, told the fighter he was   11   to go and turned back   12    the hill.
     Minutes later, he heard footsteps   13   behind him as he walked. "Is this the end after all?" he   14   .
Perhaps the fighter had got the gun and wanted to finish him off.
     But he continued on,   15    glancing back, until his enemy reached him, only to grab him in a hug and
pour out   16    for sparing his life.
     Mercy often wears the face of   17   . And though it usually isn't an enemy in uniform that we are
challenged to forgive, we hav   18   for mercy every day. Family members and friends, co-workers and
neighbors and even strangers have  19   for our forgiveness. You know who they are.
     As Mahatma Gandhi said, "The   20   can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute (特性) of the
strong." Be strong. Forgive.
