It was 4 o"clock in the morning, when I received the phone call.
“This is the emergency room calling and your son was just   36  in with severe burns on his face, neck and arms. We have called for a(n)  37  and are going to fly him to the burn unit in Seattle.” Seattle was 350 miles from his college, so we knew immediately this was  38  . The doctor described the  39 , which caused the burns. At 6 am, our son and his friends decided to barbecue hamburgers in the courtyard of their apartment. When they   40  the charcoal(木炭),it burst into flames because they had sprayed too much gasoline(petrol).The flames  41  my son’s shirt tail and shot from his waist to well over his head.
  42 , one of the boys was quick-minded, grasped my son, and  43  him on the grass. While it saved his life, it was not in  44   to save him from severe burns and the terrible scars(伤疤).
After he  45  from the treatments, the doctors told him they would not do plastic surgery(整容)for 6 months  46  it takes that long for the skin to stop shrinking and wrinkling. So, he had to return to college with scars typical of severe burns.
When I was a child, my mother told my sister, who had a 10-inch very  47  scar on her arm, “Nancy, if you ignore the scar, other people will ignore it. It does not mean they will not   48  it, but it means it will not matter to them if it doesn’t matter to you.”
I   49   this wisdom on to my son. He took my advice to  50   and returned to school with his head held high--glad he was alive.
By the end of the six-month waiting period, he decided that the scars did not  51 . So he made the  52   to give up any plastic surgery. We all have “scars” that we believe  53  people to keep away from us. And we spend a lot of time thinking that if only we looked differently, or dressed differently, people would like us better.  
But you see, people will only judge you by your looks, or your clothes, if you are judging yourself by these same  54  standards. Put your imperfections out of your mind and concentrate on what you value  55   yourself, and your beauty will shine through.

举一反三
One day I heard that one of my dear friends had lost his mother. This made me sad, for my friend was very close to his mother. He had been by her side as she traveled through her long and hard journey with cancer. At this time, many memories about my loved ones that had passed away came flooding to me. Finally these memories passed, but it was really sad to think that my friend would have to go through the pain.
Three times I tried to write an email to my friend and three times words failed me. I am a person who is not often lost for words and I decided to have a sleep. Upon waking up I could hardly wait for my computer to work, the words I needed were there. I was still left with a heavy heart although I had sent an email.
They say that everything in this universe is balanced(平衡的) and indeed it is. Three days later, I received his reply letter. I was happy to hear that he’d been admitted to(录取) Cambridge University. It served as a gentle reminder for me that my friend would be okay and that life would go on.
Everything in life is balanced; the lowest feelings change places with the highest feelings. Without the lows, we would never appreciate the highs. No matter how dark the clouds seem to be, the sunshine is always there and just waiting for the opportunity to shine through.

Each spring brings a new blossom of wildflowers in the ditches (沟渠)along the highway. I travel daily to work. There is one particular    26    flower that has    27   caught my eyes. I’ve noticed it blooms only in the morning hours; the    28    sun is too warm for it. Every day for about two weeks. I see those beautiful    29   .
This spring I    30   a wildflower garden in our yard. “I can look out of the   31   window while doing the dishes and see the flowers.

She began looking around her   40  room. Four years ago on the wedding night, he felt deeply   41  to her, saying, “I feel so sorry to you for   42  you live in this small room. In the future I will buy our own big house.”
This tiny room has two nails on the wall next to the door, one for her bag and the other   43  . At that time, she threw all her stuff(填充物)such as her bag and umbrella on the   44  once she entered the room, staring at the whole   45  and feeling terribly upset. Then he began   46  more nails into the wall. There were three nails on the left, on which   47  his clothes yesterday and four on the right used to   48  their wedding photo frame.
The landlady started to pull the nails out with a tool. After the nails were   49 , the walls were left with countless holes. Suddenly, she felt heartbroken as if she were   50  nonstop through these holes.
  She   51  to her feet and exclaimed, “Stop removing the nails! We will rent the house   52  we buy our own!” He gazed at her surprised, and then turned round, tears over his cheek.
She   53  realized that marriage was like a wall and that all   54  and “cold wars” were like the nails on the wall.  55  , when they were removed, only a wall with holes would remain. But if all the nails were still in their own places, the wall was still complete and reliable.

Four Simple Keys to Transform Your Life
The Power of Choice.Every one of us makes countless choices every day.Every choice we make has an impact on our lives.Even insignificant choices can affect what we experience and how we feel.When hunger strikes, we can reach for a healthy, nutritious snack, or we can choose the sugar high of junk food.The more important the decision, the greater its effect.For instance, how do I act towards that person who treated me badly? Do I generally choose to be passive, or do I actively set clear intentions and create what I want in my life? Every choice we make, however big or small, affects us in some way.
How Do You Make Choices? If you are interested in living a richer, fuller life, there is a foundation upon which you can base all of your decisions which can make life better not only for you, but also for those around you.This foundation is to choose based on what"s best for all.Imagine a world where every parent, spouse(配偶), friend, teacher, business person, and politician truly did their best to choose what"s best for all involved in every decision they made. We would certainly live in a more caring, supportive world.
It"s the Intention."But how do I know what is really best?" you might ask.The answer is simple.It doesn"t matter.What matters is not the choice you make, but rather the intention beind your choice.What matters is that whatever decision you make, you are clear in your intention of choosing based on what"s best for all.If it later turns out that you made what appears to have been a bad choice, there"s no need for guilt.Knowing that you did your best to choose with a sincere desire for what"s best for all, your conscience stays clear and open.This then allows you to more easily learn from your mistakes, and to live with a clear heart and mind.
What"s Best for Me, Too! Choosing what"s best does not mean you have to always sacrifice yourself for others.An overly(过度的) exhausted mother can lose her temper easily.Some time off for this mother might seem selfish, yet in the long run, it can help her to be a better mother to her children.So as we move through each day of our lives, let us remember to include ourselves as we do our best to choose what"s best for all.
小题1:Which of the following is FALSE?
A.Whenever hunger strikes, we will reach for a junk snack
B.Every choice, however big or small, has an influence on us.
C.Even small choices affect how we feel..
D.We make choices every day.
小题2:How should we make choices?
A.To be interested in a richer, fuller life.
B.To make life better for ourselves.
C.To imagine a world where everyone did their best.
D.To choose based on what"s best for all.
小题3:Why does the author say, "What matters is not the choice you make, but rather the intention behind your choice."?
A.Because the choice you make is not important.
B.Because you may have made a bad choice.
C.Because this allows you to stay clear and improve.
D.Because there is no need for guilt.
小题4:How to choose what is best for us?
A.We need to devote all our life to others.
B.We need to put away some time for ourselves.
C.We need to sacrifice ourselves for others.
D.We need to be selfless every minute.
