Last night, I was waiting for a taxi. After 5 minutes, I was 36 . The driver seemed to be angry. I asked him what the 37 was. He said he had just come from the airport without a 38 , which was basically $70 in lost fare.
Over the course of the ride, the anger 39 died down. He mentioned he had read an article saying the 40 people are the ones that give, so he hoped he’d have more 41 to give in his life. I was starting to 42 being with him! We continued talking about why 43 is so beneficial both to the giver and the receiver and different ways to 44 it.
As we arrived at my destination, I 45 my fare. But I pulled out an extra $20 and said, “Since we’ve been talking about this whole time, I wanted to share that 46 with you. I’ve already paid my fare, but here’s an extra little bit. You can 47 it, since you’re already down $70 from the airport. But if you want to experience the 48 of the gift, then tell the next passenger in this taxi that their ride is a gift from another and they can 49 their gratitude(感激) in whatever way.”
The man turned toward me, tears in his eyes, and said, “Sir, I have a better 50 . You give that $20 to a 51 person around here and I’ll treat the next passenger with a 52 ride myself.
Wow. This man was 53 10 minutes ago. I got out and walked around trying to 54 someone who needed help before heading to my destination.
It was an honor meeting that driver and 55 the lesson of how everyone is capable of giving.

The Hand
Thanksgiving Day was near. The first grade teacher gave her class fun work to draw a picture of 36 for which they were thankful.
Most of the class might be 37 to be economically(经济上) poor, but still many would 38 a big holiday dinner with turkeys and other traditional goodies of the season. These, the teacher thought, would be the 39 of most of her students’ art. And they really were.
But Douglas made a 40 kind of picture, for Douglas was a different kind of boy. He was the teacher’s true child of pity and love, 41 and unhappy. As other children played at break, Douglas was likely to stand close by her side. One could only guess the pain Douglas felt 42 those sad eyes.
Yes, his picture was different. When he was 43 to draw a picture of something for which he was thankful, he drew a 44 ---nothing else. Just an empty hand.
His picture brought out the heated 45 of his classmates. Whose hand could it be? One child guessed it was the hand of a farmer because farmers 46 turkeys. Another suggested a police officer’s because the police protect and 47 people. And so the discussion went --- until the teacher 48 forgot the young artist.
49 the children had gone on to do other work, she 50 Douglas’ desk, bent down, and asked him whose hand it was. The little boy looked away and said in a very low voice, “It’s yours, teacher.”
She recalled the 51 when she had taken his hand and walked with him here and there and how 52 she had said, “Take your hand, Douglas, and we’ll go outside.” or “Let me show you how to hold your pencil.” or “Let’s do this together.” Douglas was most 53 for his teacher’s hand.
Brushing aside tears, she went on with her work.
In fact, people 54 not always say “Thanks”. But they would remember the hand that 55 .

A kindergarten teacher decided to let her class play a game. The teacher told each child in the class to bring along a plastic bag containing a few potatoes. Each potato will be given a name of a person that the child hates, so the number of potatoes that a child will put in his/her plastic bag will depend on the number of people he/she cannot forgive（宽恕）.
So when the day came, every child brought some potatoes with the name of the people he/she hated. Some had 2 potatoes; some 3, while some had up to 5 potatoes.
The teacher then told the children to carry the potatoes with them wherever they go (even to the toilet) for one week. With days passing by, the children started to complain because of the unpleasant smell let out by the rotten (腐烂) potatoes they were carrying.
Those children who have 5 potatoes really began to feel the weight of the heavier bags. After one week, the children were happy to hear that the teacher had finally ended the game. The teacher asked: "How did you feel while carrying the potatoes with you for one week?" The children started complaining of the trouble that they had to carry the heavy and smelly potatoes wherever they go.
Then the teacher told them the hidden meaning behind the game. The teacher said: "This is exactly the situation when you carry your hatred（仇恨）for somebody inside your heart. The burden（负担）of hatred will pollute your heart and you will end up carrying an unnecessary burden with you wherever you go.
If you cannot tolerate the smell of rotten potatoes for just one week, can you imagine what a burden it would be to have the hatred in your heart for your lifetime?"
小题1:According to the teacher, if a Child hates three persons, he or she needs to carry ________.| A．one potato | B．two potatoes | C．three potatoes | D．four potatoes |
小题2:The underlined word “tolerate ” in the last paragraph probably means _____________. | A．carry | B．hate | C．receive | D．stand |
小题3:In fact, the teacher wants to ______________. | A．play a game with the students | B．teach the students a lesson | | C．make the students more tired | D．play jokes on the students |
小题4:What is the main idea of the story? | A．It’s best to learn to forgive and forget. | | B．Students should love people around them. | | C．Children should carry less rotten potatoes. | | D．Rotten potatoes are really a heavy burden. |

I believe the best heroes are often the ones who haven’t been publicly recognized. They’re someone’s hero just by living their life as 36, not necessarily struggling for anything particular outside of survival. They’re everyday ordinary people.
37, my greatest hero without doubt isn’t a famous person or someone who has a rags-to-riches (白手起家的) story. In fact, this person isn’t a 38 at all, but a heroine: my mother, who has been my greatest source of inspiration（鼓舞）.
A brief glance (一瞥) into this 39 woman’s life makes it clear. My mother was married to a man who drank like a fish almost every day. As Mother 40 to us later in life, she simply didn’t want us to be 41 by my father. So, one day she packed her seven kids into an old wagon (马车), and headed back down south to Montgomery, Alabama.
At five foot three, she was a black lady with a small figure, with no college education. She did whatever she had to do to 42 as a single(单身的) parent and to successfully 43 all her children to adulthood.
By high school I had started to 44 my mother had achieved something 45 as a single parent. Then, when I was seventeen years old, I signed up(报名) for the Marine Corps. The day I 46 for basic training, my mother told me, a very thin and nervous black kid, four 47 words: “Just do your best.” That 48 may be a cliché (套话), but coming from her , it has given me a lifetime of powerful inspiration.
I’ve had my 49 of ups and downs in my life. Whenever meeting with any difficulty, I would 50 to myself, “If Mother overcame her challenges, I have no 51 not to do the same.” 52 I grew, I admired her for what she had achieved.
I graduated from community college with highest 53, and now I’m a student at Columbia University. Every step of the 54, I’ve been encouraged by the inspiration of my mother — my heroine. I’ve never 55. I’ve tried to do my best.

A high school history teacher once told us, “If you make one close friend in school, you will be most fortunate. A true friend is someone who stays with you for life."_26_ teaches that he was right. Good friendship is just not easily _27_.
It is possible that we simply do not stay in one place long enough for_28_friendship to _29_. However, there can be_30_disagreement on the need for each of us to think carefully about the kind of friendship we want.
To most of us, friendships are considered very important, but we need to have it clear in our _31_ what kinds of friendship we want. Are they to be close or _32_ at arm"s length? Do we want to _33_ourselves or do we want to walk on the surface? For some people, many friendships on the surface are _34_enough—and that" s all right. But at some point we need to 35 that our expectations are the same as our friends" expectations. The sharing of_36_experience _37_ our tears as well as our dark dreams is the surest way to deepen friendships. But it _38_be undertaken(进行) slowly and carried on only if there are _39_of interest and action in return.
What are some of the _40_of friendship? The greatest is the attraction to expect too much too soon. Deep relationships _41_time. Another “major difficulty" is the selfishness to think one “possesses" the other, including his time and attention. Similarly, friendships _42_ actions in return. In 43 words, you must give as much as you take. Finally there is a question of taking care of. Unless you spend _44_time together, talking on the phone, writing letters, doing things together, friendships will die _45_.
