One day, a poor boy，named Howard Kelly，was trying to pay his way through school by selling goods door to door．He was hungry，31  he decided to beg something to eat．
When a young woman opened the door，instead of a  32 he asked for a drink of water．Thinking he looked    33 she brought him a large glass of milk．He drank it and then asked，“How much do I   34  you?”
“No．you don’t owe me anything，”she replied．“Mother has taught me   35   to accept pay for a kindness.”Leaving that house, he not only felt stronger   36  ，but it also increased his faith in God and the human race．He was about to  37   before this point．
 38    later the young woman became seriously i11．The local doctors couldn’t cure her illness．They sent her to the big city，where specialists can be  39  to study her disease．Dr．Howard Kelly, now  40 ，came for the consultation(會(huì)診)．When he heard the name of the town where she came from, a strange light filled his eyes．  41 ，he went into her room．
  42  in his doctor’s gown (罩衣) he went in to see her．He   43  her at once．He went back to the   44  and determined to do his best to save her life．From that day on，he gave special attention to her case．
Finally，the battle was won．Dr．Kelly asked a nurse to  45  the bill to her room．She was afraid to open it  46 she knew that it would   47  the rest of her life to pay it off．Finally she looked and read these words on the side of the bill：
“Paid in full with a glass of   48  ．”(Signed Dr．Howard Kelly.)
Tears of   49  flooded her eyes as she   50  silently：“Thank you，God．Your love has spread through human hearts and hands．”

When I was a little girl, my father loved to play catch(接球) with me. I wasn’t very good at it,   16  we would play anyway. He was always telling me “Keep your eye on the ball” as I would not be able to catch even the   17  of throws.
As I got   18 , we didn’t play catch as much. If I had a problem and would go to my father to ask for his   19 , he would try to   20  with me and say “Keep your eye on the ball”. We would both laugh   21  usually that advice was not useful to the problem, but he would try to make me   22 .
My father became   23  in 1995 when I was 23. There weren’t any more conversations, as he suffered from a stroke(中風(fēng)).   24  could not speak. He could only give   25  words, which were sometimes hard to understand. I seemed to be pretty good at   26  his lips(唇) after a while, even better than the   27  who were caring for him there.
During one of our last conversations, I was telling him about a problem I was having with my boyfriend.   28 , I could read his lips: “Keep your eye on the ball.” We both smiled.
That was the last time I saw my father   29  he passed away.
Sometimes, all these years later, when I get in trouble, I just   30  myself “Keep your eye on the ball”.

I used to hate myself because I wasn’t “normal”. Everyone else could play on the monkey bars and ride on a bicycle, but not   36 . I had a severe spinal cord disorder(脊髓病) and I knew I would always be much   37 than others.
I hated going to school and I hated   38  at me. I hated seeing others smiling broadly and standing   39 and tall. And most of all, I hated looking in the   40 and seeing an ugly and hunchback(駝背).
My friends found me   41 because I didn’t let other get close to me. I thought I was going to go on like this for the rest of my life   42 Angela appeared.
That afternoon, I was sitting by myself in a corner of the school—a spot where no one would
  43 me. That’s when I first heard your voice.
“Hi. Can I sit down?”
I raised my head and there she was, with an irresistible smile on her round face.
“What are you looking at?” you asked.
“Ants.”
“What are they doing?”
“No   44 .”
“I bet they’re playing games and make friends. Don’t you think so?”
That was how our   45 started and it didn’t stop. We talked about everything under the sun—the ants, the clouds, my little niche(處境)—until it was sunset.
Then suddenly, you saw my   46 . She just stared.
My heart   47 . What I feared most had happened and I knew for sure she would   48  me now.
She stood up, pointed at my back and said, “I know  49 your back is hunched.”
I closed my eyes like a criminal waiting to be   50 . I begged in my heart for her to   51 , but you just kept on going. “I know what you’ve got in there. Do you?”
“No,” I answered   52 .
She bent and whispered in my ears.
“Your back is bunched because you’ve got a pair of wings from the angels.”
I was   53 . I looked into your eyes and her   54 touched my heart. From that day on, I started to learn to   55 myself because I have the wings of an angel and a kind – hearted friend.

My son was badly hurt in a fire. After he   36  from a series of treatments, the doctors told him they would not do any operation for six months   37  it took long for the skin to stop shrinking (收縮). So, he had to return to college with a visible 10-inch   38  on his face.
I said to my son, “Keaton,   39  will pay any more attention to your scar   40  you do. If it does not bother you, it will not bother   41 .” He took my advice to heart and returned to school with his head  42  high — glad he was alive.
  43 , everyone has scars and shortcomings. Some of you may spend much time thinking that people would like you better,   44  you looked different, or dressed differently, or could have a different and newer   45 .
But you see, like Keaton’s scar, people will only judge you by your looks, or your   46 , or your car, if you are judging yourself by these same false   47 .
One of my friends in college was very   48 . At first, when people met him, they noticed his   49   for about 10 seconds. This man felt   50  about himself and spent most of his time   51  about other people’s comfort and welfare(幸福).   52 , people ignored his looks. What people   53  was his kindness and his concern for them. He didn’t act in an ugly way so people didn’t treat him as an ugly man.
Therefore, concentrate on what you value   54  yourself, because if you can see that beautiful person, everyone you are in contact with will see the same   55 .

My ears are recently full of joyous remarks from my friends such as, “Oh, Beckham is so handsome, so cool, that I can’t help falling in love with him!” or “What perfect skills he has!” Yeah, I agree 　16　 some degree, though I sometimes do want to ask them how much they 　17　 Beckham, apart from his appearance and how much they know about football 　18　 scoring goals. It seems funny that we are crazy for things, with which we are unfamiliar or 　19　 we are uncertain, but we all, my friends 　20　 I, consider this 　21　.  
We need these pleasures to brighten up our lives. But that doesn’t amount to craziness 　22　 nonsense. As an old saying 　23　:“Don’t judge a book by its cover.” We should not 　24　 anything from its appearance. We should all know, it is one’s good character and great contribution that 　25　 one a star and unforgettable. Therefore we’d better say 　26　 about Beckham’s good looks. 
If we close our eyes, 　27　 in deep thought, we can find that the things 　28　 us to be in truth happy, sad or moved 　29　a clear meaning. If we don’t go deeper and just satisfied with superficial things, 　30　 we will find that we have not really gained anything 　31　 our first impression has blinded and misled us, and we’ll remain ignorant 　32　 we realize that and make some changes. 
It is believed that thinking and going deeper than before is sign of great 　33　.If one day we are willing to go deeper into everything, no matter how much it 　34　 us, we will finally prove how much we have grown up, how much more sensible, mature, and intelligent we have 　35　. 

Standing in the driveway, I watched my grown children drive off into the distance. I looked down the road until I could no longer see their 36 _____ .
“They live too far away from me,” I said to myself. “When did they 37 _____ and become parents of small children? 38 _____ that be me?”
I slipped back inside the house and just walked through the rooms for no reason 39  _____.1 was just missing them already and looking for 40 _____ of their having been here. There were pillows on the floor and a few stuffed (填充）animals 41 _____ around where the children had been playing.
I walked into the 42 _____ and there on the back of the sink was a bottle brush that had been left behind. “Ah，even Tessa left something behind,” I 43  _____ Well, I suppose she had help 44 _____ she was just four months old.
As I walked around the house, I picked up a few more 45 _____ on the floor — Tegan’S tooth, a pie pan, and the inside of a turkey fryer.
ttHmmm, things left behind ...’’I thought to myself. It seems there is one thing left behind on every 46 _____ . Memories are always left behind, I reasoned, and what a(n) 47 _____ thing good memories are to us. I thought how each item left behind 48 _____ me of the person it belonged to and the story 49 _____ it.
Memories happen even if we aren’t 50 _____ of it. The stressful and difficult moments often become memories that we 51 _____ later with laughter and joy. The memories of past hurts, bitterness, and anger, 52 . should be left behind 53  _____These are the things that we should never 54 _____ until the next time they come, mail back, or bring with us to 55_____next visit.
As Elizabeth Stone said, “To have a child is to decide forever to have your heart go walking around outside your body.

Have you ever come across this thing？When a rather dirty，poorly dressed person kneels at your feet and reaches out his hands to beg for a few coins，do you hurry to go，not knowing what to do，or do you feel sad and hurriedly __1__ some money？What should our attitude __2__ beggars be？There can be __3__ question that the world is full of terribly sad stories. It __4__ be terrible to have no idea where our next meal is going to come from. It seems __5__ not to give some money to beggars.
_6__，most of the world's great religions order us to be open­hearted and __7__ what we have with those unluckier than ourselves. But has the world changed？Maybe what was morally right in the old days，__8__ one knew exactly who in the village had suffered misfortune and needed help，is no longer the best idea.Quite a few people will not give some money to beggars.Let us look at their __9__.
Firstly，some believe that many city beggars dress themselves up __10_ to look pitiable but actually make a good __11__.Giving something to beggars only encourages this sort of evil(惡行)．__12__，there is the worry that the money you give will be spent on beers，wines or drugs.Thirdly，there is the opinion __13__ there is no real excuse for begging.One might be poor，__14__ that is no reason for losing one's sense of __15__ and self­dependence.
Related to this is the opinion that the problem should be handled by the government _16__ ordinary people. Some people think beggars should go to the local government department and _17__ help.
It is hard to come to any final conclusion：there are various _18__ and we must __19__ them differently. A few coins can save a life in some situations，and even if the money is wasted，that does not take away the moral goodness of the __20__.

No One Is Too Poor to Give
When Teresa，a widow with four young children，saw a notice from her church for all members to gather to deliver presents and food to a  16 family，she took $10 out of her savings jar and bought some ingredients to make three dozen  17 ．She got to the church parking lot just in time to join the convoy going to the home that was to  18 the people’s help．
The route was  19 ，and she was astonished when the cars pulled up in front of her house．When the pastor saw her，he said，“ We  20 expected you to join us ,
Teresa．We know it’s been a great  21 since your husband died，and we all wanted
to  22  you．”
Although she was   23  being the object of charity，Teresa didn’t want to  24 anyone so she  25 said，“ Well，at least I can share these cookies with our    26 ．”
This parable teaches us that no one is too  27  to help others and that true charity is rooted in love and compassion．  28   of spirit is worse than economic distress．Teresa’s story  29 us that very few of us give as much as we could and should．
My friend Larry Rosen，president of the YMCA of Metropolitan Los Angeles
30 me to the concept of “ sacrificial giving”—  31   in a large quantity up to a
point where one must  32 something that is desired．
You can start out easy．Take whatever  33 you are thinking of giving to charity，then   34  it．If that’s too much, increase it by 50 percent instead．The  35 is to stretch yourself．It will mean a lot to those you help，but it will mean as much to your heart．

In a world where comparisons happen non-stop, it is difficult to look outside yourself and to ever be   21  with who you are. There’s always someone who’s a bit   22 . The only solution is to reach   23  and measure against what Warren Buffett calls your own inner yardstick. There is no more   24  measure for comparison than who your were yesterday, last week or last decade, when you were at your   25 .
Nothing useful ever comes from comparison to others .Either you see yourself as better than someone and you get   26 , or you see someone else as better than you and you feel like all your hard work is for   27 . It is a fool’s game. Not one of us is exactly   28 . The only direct and honest comparison is   29  yourself. Everything else is apples to oranges.
My opinion is that you are only   30  to compare yourself to someone else if their life  31  is the same as your own. Good luck finding that   32 . And one thing is for sure. No matter how hard you work and how dedicated（埋頭苦干的）you are, there will always be someone who can run a little faster, jump a little higher, score a little better or look a little nicer in a swimsuit. And if there’s not, you can   33  someone is coming up fast   34  you. So how can you always win in life? Become your best   35 .
Having an image of your most recent past limits is the perfect thing to   36  you to the next level. If you ran 7 flights of stairs yesterday, then do 8 today. Who   37  if the guy next to you did 15? It doesn’t make a bit of   38 . You are a more   39  person today than you were yesterday. Your own   40  is all you need.

During the last fifteen years of my mother's life she suffered with Alzheimer's disease. Until then she had been a bright, __51__ woman deeply interested and involved in the world around her. I would go home to visit her in Virginia and she would look at me in a(an) __52__ way and ask, "Who are you?" I would answer, "I'm your son." "Where do you live?" She would ask. "In California," I would tell her. "Isn't that interesting," she would say, "I have a son in California."
She seemed __53__ forgetful and confused at the beginning of the disease, __54__ later on she would go __55__periods of intense anxiety. She would pace through the house she had lived in most of her life __56__ uneasily that she wanted to go home. Or she would leave home and wander away if she were __57__ for a short time.
Hoping to please her and put her mind __58__ I would take her for a drive, visiting sites where she had lived as a __59__. In the yard of the hillside house in Shipman I sat in the car and admired the view of the old oaks and long green lawn. I __60__ my mother there as a little girl playing with the pet lamb she had been so fond of. I looked to her for some __61__. She shook her head and said, "I want to go home." Over the years I have decided that what my mother was calling home was not a __62__, but a time. I suspect it was a time when she was much __63__, when her children were still underfoot, when her husband was still vigorous and attentive.
Watching my mother's suffering set me wondering __64__ I would have in mind if someday I couldn't find __65__ and wanted to go there. In this family we tend to be long-lived and we grow fuzzy (糊涂的) minded as the years go by. At eighty I have already noticed some __66__ symptoms. My doctor says the forgetfulness is only __67__ and that it comes with age. Still the fear of Alzheimer's is haunting there. Someday __68__ and when I become even more __69__ minded than I am now, unable to drive and unable to tell you where "home" is, my dear son, I expect I will ask you to take me home, I know you will do your best to find the place I need to be. I leave these notes for your __70__.
