But by continually reminding ourselves of our intention to be creators, we can transform our life.

Who has deprived the children's happiness of learning???

During the years of depression(萧条), food and money were very hard to find and people had to trade things with each other.
One day I was 36 some potatoes from Mr Miller. I noticed a small poor boy hungrily 37 a full basket of 38 green peas. Then I was 39 to see that Mr Miller sold the boy a bag of peas for just a marble (弹球).
Mrs Miller, who had been standing nearby, 40 and told me that Mr Miller loved to trade with the three boys in the village for peas, tomatoes, and other things 41 he didn’t really need any marbles. I left the stand, smiling to myself, 42 by this man.
Several years went by. One day I learned that Mr Miller had died. I took part in the funeral(葬礼), 43 three young men . They came over to Mrs Miller, hugged her, kissed her on the cheek, spoke with her and moved on, 44 their eyes.
Our 45 came to meet Mrs Miller. I mentioned 46 she had told me about the 47 . She told me,“Those three young men above were the boys I told you about. They just told me 48 they appreciated the things Jim‘traded’with them. Now, at last, they came to pay their debt.”
“We’ve 49 had a great deal of the wealth in this world,” she added, “but right now, Jim would consider himself to be the 50 man.”
Then she gently lifted the 51 fingers of her husband. Resting underneath were three red marbles.
At that time I realized that we would not be 52 by our words, but by our kind 53 . It is said that it takes a minute to find a 54 person, an hour to appreciate him, a day to love him, but an entire life to 55 him.

I thought I could grow up quickly to find it out as an adult.But now, 38 I come to knock at the door of adulthood, I feel 39 to express my own 40 on this saying. I know that I’m just a high school student with very 41 experiences. There are still many things 42 me in the future, yet I would like to express myself in a childish voice.
I once read this sentence: “To make this world a happy place to live, you’d better 43 youreself and your heart , instead of the whole world.” I was shocked. It made me think about life 44 . There are so many things around us that 45 our will. We can’t force life 46 our wishes.The earth won’t stop turning no matter whether we 47 it or not. What we can do is just to make ourselves 48 the world. I think we should learn to accept 49 life gives us, no matter whether it’s the spring sunlight or the winter snowfall, and try to be happy.
Deeply moved by the pop song Grandmother (by Jay Chou), I always try to 50 every pleasant thing in my life, but now I see I don’t catch most of the pleasant moments. It is more 51 that they slip by and leave you feeling 52 . I realize that I’m not just living 53 myself and that there are the others around me I should think of .They all pay attention to my growing up, even if it’s just a little progress.
Everyone has his or her own attitude towards life, be it positive or 54 . It doesn’t matter, I think. There is one 55 that should be obeyed—and that’s to make this world better.

In modern society there is a great deal of argument about competition. Some 36 it highly, believing that it is 37 for social progress and prosperity. Others say that 38 is bad, that it sets one person against another; that it 39 unfriendly relationship between people.
I have taught many children who held the 40 that their self-worth relied on how well they 41 at tennis and other skills. For them, playing well and winning are often life-and –death affairs. In their single-minded 42 of success, the development of many other human qualities is 43 forgotten.

By not trying, they always have a(n) 49 :“I may have lost, but it doesn’t matter 50 I really didn’t try.” 51 , this belief is the same as 52 of the true competitors trying to prove themselves. Both are based on the 53 belief that one’s self-respect relies on how well one performs in 54 with others. Both are afraid of not being valued.
