And we spend a lot of time thinking that if only we looked differently, or dressed differently, people would like us better.

As he started his speech, he  【小題6】  his throat, and began. "Graduation is a time to   【小題7】  those who helped you   【小題8】  it through those tough years.

I am going to tell you a story."
I just looked at my friend with   【小題11】 as he told the story of the first day we met. He had planned to   【小題12】 himself over the weekend. He talked of how he had  【小題13】   his locker so his Mom wouldn't have to do it later and was carrying his stuff home. He looked hard at me and gave me a little smile. "   【小題14】  , I was saved. My friend saved me from doing the unspeakable."

During college, I took a history class to fulfill a requirement.
The professor was a   32   fellow with red hair. He would walk   33   into the room wearing his winter coat, once not even   34   the hat during the lecture. He could not feel free in class and controlled the   35  just by looking through his glasses at his students.
So I  36   a little game for myself. I would try to find something in his lecture to ask him an intelligent question about,­­­   37   me to pay attention. He was obviously pleased to have a question to answer. In fact, his answers were always   38   .
I continued to do this every day and found myself actually enjoying the material. The professor seemed to become more   39   and some of the other students even   40  from time to time. My little game had saved me from being bored, as it was designed to do. And, I learned quite a bit about ancient world history. In spite of his strange   41  , he was indeed quite an expert in his field.
On the last day of the class we gathered our   42   and headed for the door. The shy, red-haired professor stepped directly in front of me,   43   I reached the door, and put his hand out. He said, “I want to thank you for making my classes so interesting,” as he shook my hand warmly and   44   for the first time. I was so   45  . To me, it had been a pleasant way to pass the time. I had no idea that all of my questions asked in class had any effect on him or the others at all.
Each of us, through the things we say and do, and the kindness we can freely   46,   can have a great effect not just on our own experiences, but on those of others.
