Recently I overheard a father and daughter in their last moments together at the airport. The airline had       her departure and standing near the security gate, they hugged and he said, “I love you. I wish you enough.” She        said, “Dad, our life together has been more than enough. Your love is all I ever needed. I wish you enough, too, Dad.” They kissed and she left.
He walked over toward the window where I was seated. Standing there I could see he wanted and needed to cry. I tried not to       him, but he welcomed me in by       , “Did you ever say good-bye to someone knowing it would be forever?”
“Yes, I have,” I replied. “Forgive me for asking, but why is this a forever good-bye?” “I am old and she lives much too far away. I have challenges ahead, and the reality is, the next trip back will be for my ___   ” he said.
“When you were saying good-bye I heard you say, ‘I wish you enough’. May I ask what that means?”
He began to smile. “That’s a wish that has been        for many generations within my family. My parents used to say it to everyone.”
He       for a moment, looking up as if trying to remember it in detail, and then he smiled and        the following:
　　“I wish you enough sun to keep your attitude bright.
　　I wish you enough rain to appreciate the sun more.
　　I wish you enough happiness to keep your spirit alive.
　　I wish you enough pain so that the       joys in life appear much bigger.
　　I wish you enough gain to satisfy your wanting.
　　I wish you enough loss to       all that you possess.
　　I wish you enough ‘Hellos’ to get you enough the final ‘Good-byes’.”
　　Then he walked away, leaving me lost in thought.

During my elementary school years, I used to compare my mom with my best friend Tiffany"s mom.
Tiffany"s mom always gave her lots of money to buy the most fashionable clothes and favorite food. Her mom allowed her to do anything she liked. I really admired Tiffany. My mom didn"t give me much pocket money and she always told me that I should behave myself. I was annoyed with her.
Whenever I didn"t get what I wanted, I would complain to my mom, Tiffany"s mom would give her that! I wish she were my mom. "Every time, my morn would calmly say "Poor Tiffany". I couldn"t understand her. "She shouldn"t be feeling sorry for Tiffany!" I thought. "She should be feeling sorry for me."
One day, I couldn"t help saying to Mom, "Poor Tiffany? Lucky Tiffany! She gets everything she wants! Why do you feel sorry for her? " I burst into tears.
My mom sat down next to me and said softly. "Yes, I do feel sorry for her. I have been teaching you a lesson that she will never be taught. "
I looked up at her. "What are you talking about?"
Mom said with care, "One day she will really want something. Maybe she"ll find out that she can"t have it. Her mother won"t always be around to give her money, and what"s more, money can"t buy everything. "
She continued, "I have taught you valuable lessons by not giving you everything you want. You"ll know how to look for bargains and save money, but she won"t. You"ll understand that you need to work hard to get the things that you want but she won"t. When Tiffany is a grown woman, she"ll wake up one day and she will be wishing that she had a mom like the one you"ve got. Life lessons are more important than modern clothes and delicious food. "
It took some time, but I eventually understood my mom"s words. Now I am a happy and successful woman.

A shopkeeper sent his son to learn about the secret of happiness from the wisest man in the world. The boy walked a long way, and finally came upon a beautiful castle where the wise man lived.
Rather than finding a holy man, though, our hero, on entering the main room of the castle, saw a hive of activity: tradesmen came and went, people were chatting in the corners and a small orchestra was playing soft music. The wise man talked with everyone, and the boy had to wait for two hours before it was his turn.
The wise man listened carefully to the boy’s explanation of why he had come, but told him that he didn’t have time just then to explain the secret of happiness. He suggested the boy look around the palace and return in two hours.
“Meanwhile, I want to ask you to do something,” said the wise man, handing the boy a teaspoon that held two drops of oil. “As you wander around, carry this spoon with you without allowing the oil to spill”.
The boy began to walk up and down stairs in the palace, keeping his eyes fixed on the spoon. After two hours, he returned.
“Well,” asked the wise man, “Did you see the Persian tapestries (波斯织锦) hanging in my dining hall? Did you see the garden that it took the master gardener 10 years to create?”
The boy was embarrassed, and replied that he had observed nothing. His only concern had been not to spill the oil.
“Then go back and observe the wonderful things of my world,” said the wise man.
Then the boy picked up the spoon and returned to his exploration of the palace, this time observing all of the works of art on the ceilings and the walls. He saw the gardens and the mountains all around him. When he returned, he described in detail everything he had seen.
“But where are the drops of oil I gave to you?” asked the wise man. Looking down at the spoon he held, the boy saw that the oil was gone.
“Well, there is only one piece of advice I can give you,” said the wise man. “The secret of happiness is to see all the wonders of the world and never to forget the drops of oil on the spoon.”
小题1:When the shopkeeper’s son arrived at the castle, he ______.
A．received warm welcome from the wise man
B．didn’t expect to see so many people around
C．was shown around the palace by the local people
D．had already missed his chance to talk to the wise man
小题2:The wise man gave the boy two tasks in order to ______.
A．let the boy enjoy his palace and garden
B．show him how to observe the wonderful things in the world
C．make him learn from his mistakes
D．teach him the secret of happiness
小题3:We can infer from the article that “the drops of oil on the spoon” probably refer to ______.
A．the beauty of nature
B．the fortune a person owns
C．the responsibilities of a person
D．the great opportunities in life
小题4:Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the article?
A．The wise man was satisfied with the way the boy performed the second task
B．It took the wise man about 10 years to finish his garden.
C．The wise man wasn’t paying much attention to the boy at first.
D．The boy took no notice of the surroundings during his first task.

In 1972, I returned to Miami Beach High School to speak to the drama class. Afterward I asked the drama teacher       any of my English teachers are still there. Irene Roberts, he tells me, is in the class        down the hall.
　　I was no one special in Miss Roberts’ class — just another student who did okay work. I don’t recall any one special bit of wisdom she passed on. Yet I cannot forget her        for language, for ideas and for her students. I        now, many years later, that she is the perfect example of a        teacher. I’d like to say something to her, I say, but I don’t want to        her from a class. Nonsense, he says, she’ll be        to see you.
　　The drama teacher       Miss Roberts into the hallway where stands this 32-year-old man she last saw at 18. “I’m Mark Medoff,” I tell her. “You were my 12th-grade English teacher in 1958.” She       her head to one side and looks at me, as if this angle might remember me in her       . And then, though armed with a message I want to        in many words, I can’t think up anything more memorable than this: “I want you to know,” I say, “you were        to me.”
　　And there in the hallway, this lovely woman, now nearing        age, this teacher who doesn’t remember me, begins to weep; and she encircles me in her arms.
　　        this moment, I begin to sense that everything I will ever know, everything I will ever pass to my students, is an inseparable part of a legacy(遗产) of our ancestors.
　　Irene Roberts holds me        in her arms and through her tears whispers        my cheek, “Thank you.” And then, with the briefest of looks into my forgotten face, she         back into her classroom,        to what she has done thousands of days through all the years of my       .
On reflection, maybe those were,       , just the right words to say to Irene Roberts. Maybe they are the very words I would like to speak to all those teachers through my life, the very words I would like spoken to me one day by some returning student: “I want you to know you were important to me.”
