He was busy doing his work  40  heavy rain began to pour down. People rushed to the café for  41  from the rain. More and more people crowded  42  and gradually separated the boy from me.
Hours passed, and it turned  43  . I had no shoes on my feet and  44  where the boy had been. I thought he would not  45  my shoes, and I would have to go home on my bare feet.
When it was near midnight the  46  ended, and there were fewer and fewer people in the café. The café was to be  47  . I had to move to the door, head  48  . just as I went to the gate, I 49  found that a boy of about eleven, looking very familiar, was sleeping at the 50  with his head leaning against a box and his upper body being  51  . he held a package made of his shirt tightly in his arms..
I shook him slightly and woke him up. He  52  up and rubbed his eyes for a while before he recognized me. Then he opened the package  53  , gave me my leather shoes, and apologized to me shyly. I  54  him and wrapped him with his unfit shirt, which had wrapped my leather shoes. On my way home, the  55  of the boy stayed in my mind.

One of my fondest Christmas memories was also one of our family’s bleakest(最令人沮丧的).We were just little kids , and on Christmas Day mom   21 us all around her to tell us ,  22  ,that there would be no presents because all we really wanted was to  23  for our daddy.He was very sick . I don’t remember anything else except four little girls surrounding my mother, crying   24  a miracle(奇迹)
At that very moment ,someone   25  loudly on the door.  26  Behind him was a merry group of soldiers from the Army base where my father   27  as a minister . News had  28   that we were in trouble ,and his colleagues knew we needed some  29  .
With all the excitement ,even my dad  30   in a blanket to keep warm , came down and sat in front of a roaring fire in our room to watch his children be  31  by good Samaritants(乐善好施的人). The presents were unwrapped , and we girls  32   packages and found a doll each and four board games.
What is  33   to me is that I don’t even remember what sickness my father was suffering from.I 34   remember an evening of laughter and  35   There were no expensive toys but    36  moments of friendship and fun given by young men who knew that a family was having a(n)  37  time . They gave their time and their  38  to little children who needed to laugh.
The most important thing in life aren’t things . And what about the true  39   of holidays ? I hope we all are able to remember a thing about the holidays that stirs(搅动)our heart , that isn’t really a thing at all, but the smile on a child’s face because we take a moment to hug or   40 a tear.

We all have weaknesses and strengths, no matter who we are. Sometimes the weaknesses seem to outweigh the strengths and sometimes it’s the other way around. Some people get sick easily. Some struggle to manage their money properly. Some people are hopeless communicators and struggle with relationships.
Many people accept it as just bad luck, but not everyone. Some people facing huge limitations still manage to achieve surprising things. They rise above their weaknesses and do not allow them to limit their possibilities.
I attended a school prize-giving ceremony not so long ago and the guest speaker was Andrew Becroft, who had a severe stutter(口吃) as a child. Instead of allowing this to limit him, he chose to work hard to overcome it. He is now the Principal Youth Court Judge for New Zealand. Not only did he become successful, but he did so in a profession where he had to speak in front of others regularly.
Lots of people face far more significant limitaions than you do. They may be missing limbs or are born into extreme poverty. But no matter what the limitation you will always find people who have overcome it. Brett Eastburn has no arms or legs and yet is an inspirational speaker and also a very good wrestler. Ringo Starr, drummer for the Beatles, came from a very poor background. He was constantly plagued with illness as a child and spent large amounts of time in hospital. Mark Inglis lost both of
his legs below the knees in a mountaineering accident, but has since climbed Mt Everest.
Most of us will never have to face the challenges these people faced. Yet most of us will never achieve to the degree that these people have either, unless we choose to. If Mark Inglis can climb the highest mountain in the world without legs, _________ ?

Mom was right! If you say thank you, for even the smallest gift or slightest show of kindness, you’ll feel happy.
Gratitude, says Robert A. Emmons, a professor or psychology at the University of California, is an important element of happiness. In his recent took, Thanks!, Emmons uses the first major study on gratitude to prove mom’s point. In acknowledging and developing this much-ignored expression of thankfulness, he explains how people have benefited---- even improved their health.
As one of the leading scholars of the positive psychology movement, he admits gratitude may be difficult to express. He advises you to begin by admitting that life is good and full of events and elements that make daily existence a wonder. Second, recognize that the source of life’s goodness is more than just you. That source may be your mom, a friend, partner, child, colleague at work or play, or any combination of these.
Gratitude is always other-directed, notes Emmons. You can be pleased or angry with yourself and feel guilty about doing something wrong, but you can never be grateful to or for yourself.
Expressing gratitude shouldn’t be a reaction; it should be a state of mind. To feel grateful when life is a breeze and you have more than you need is easy. To feel grateful in time of crisis---- anger, hatred and bitterness----is easier. Also, too many people are aware of life’s blessings only after these are lost.
It’s crisis and chaos ---- danger, disease, disability and death ---- that bring many individuals to realize just how dependent they are on others. Yet it’s the way each of us begins life and ends it. It’s too bad that so many people waste those decades in between labouring under the illusion they are self-sufficient, says Emmons.
The abundance of voices expressing gratitude from his studies of individuals with chronic health problems is many. But Emmons goes beyond his “groundbreaking” science to make his case for gratitude by including the inspirational writings of philosophers, novelists and saints, as well as the beliefs of various religions and their respective scriptures. Taken together, these observations are summed up quite nicely by famous humanist Albert Schweitzer, who said the secret of life is “giving thanks for everything.”
To enable and embrace gratitude, Emmons encourages the readers of Thanks! To keep a gratitude diary. He even provides easy-to-follow directions on how to practice and develop gratitude.
I’m not a reader or advocate of self-help books, but I am thankful for the reference I found in a newspaper article to the research Emmons was conducting on gratitude involving organ donors and recipients. The chance discovery led me to this book.
Mom implied that kindness seems to find its way back to the giver because life really is all about giving, receiving and repaying. So I’ll pay attention to her professional advice and say: Thank you, professor Emmons.
