Recently I gave my adult students homework．It was to "go to someone you love and tell them you love them．It has to be someone you have 25 said those words to before or at least haven't 26 those words with for a long time．"
Since most of the men were over 35 and were raised in the 27 of men that were taught 28 feelings is not "manly", this was very 29 homework for some．
In our next 30 , I asked if someone wanted to share his story with us．I fully 31 one of the women to volunteer, as was 32 the case, but on this evening one of the men raised his hand．As he 33 out of his chair （all 1．85 metres of him）, he began by saying, "Dennis, I was quite 34 with you last week when you gave us this homework． 35 were you to tell me to do something that personal? But as I began driving home my heart started talking to me, telling me that I knew 36 who I needed to say 'I love you' to．"
"My father and I had a severe 37 five years ago, and since then we had 38 seeing each other unless we had to at Christmas．But even then, we hardly 39 to each other．So last Tuesday I drove to my parents' house after work and said, "Dad, I just 40 to tell you that I love you. '"
"Dad reached out and 41 me and said, 'I love you too, son, but I've never been able to say it．' Two days after my visit, my dad had a heart attack and I don't know if he will 42 it．So, I'm here to tell all of you that my 43 in this is: Don't wait to do the things 44 it is too late．Take the time to do what you need to do and do it now!"

My name is Nick Vujicic, an Australian who was born without any limbs（四肢）. In recent years one of my most 36 videos on YouTube shows my skateboarding, surfing, playing music, and best of all, 37 hugs from all fields of great people.
All in all, those are pretty ordinary 38 that just about anyone can do, right? So 39 do you think that video has been viewed millions of times? My theory is that people are 40 to watch it because in spite of my physical limitations, I’m living 41 I had no limits.
People often think someone 42 a severe disability to be inactive, upset, maybe even crazy. But I’d like to 43 them by showing that I lead a very adventurous and fruitful life
Among the hundreds of 44 on that video, here’s one typical remark:” seeing a guy like this being happy makes me wonder why I feel 45 for myself sometimes －or feel not funny enough, or whatever. How can I 46 think thoughts like that when this guy is living without limbs and still being happy!?”
I found happiness when I realized that imperfect 47 I may be, I am the perfect Nick Vujicic. I’m designed 48 God’s plan. That’s not to say that there isn’t 49 for improvement. I’m always trying to be better so I can better 50 the world!
I do believe my life has no 51 . I want you all to feel the same way about your life, no matter what your challenges may be. As we 52 our journey together, please take a moment to 53 about any limitations you’ve placed on your life. Now think about what 54 would be like to be 55 of those limitations. What would your life be if anything were possible?

In the clinic, I asked if Michael could be retested, so the specialist tested him again. To my _36_, it was the same score.
Later that evening, I _37_ told Frank what I had learned that day. After talking it over, we agree that we knew our _38_ much better than an IQ test. We _39_ that Michael’s score must have been a _40_ and we should treat him _41_ as usual.
We moved to Indiana in 1962, and Michael studied at Concordia High School in the same year. He got _42_ grades in the school, especially _43_ biology and chemistry, which was a great comfort.
Michael _44_ Indiana University in 1965 as a pre-medical student, soon afterwards, his teachers permitted him to take more courses than _45_. In 1968, he was accepted by the School of Medicine, Yale University.
On graduation day in 1972, Frank and I _46_ the ceremony at Yale. After the ceremony, we told Michael about the _47_ IQ score he got when he was six. Since that day, Michael sometimes would look at us and say _48_, “My dear mom and dad never told me that I couldn’t be a doctor, not until after I graduated from medical school!” It is his special way of thanking us for the _49_ we had in him.
Interestingly, Michael then _50_ another IQ test. We went to the same clinic where he had _51_ the test eighteen years before. This time Michael scored 126, an increase of 36 points. A result like that was supposed to be _52_.
Children often do as _53_ as what adults, particularly parents and teachers, _54_ of them. That is, tell a child he is“ _55_”, and he may play the role of a foolish child.

THE CHARM OF CHARITY
A poor young man lost his job and had no one to help him. Helpless, homeless and hopeless, he decided to commit suicide. He 36 all the coins he had with him and bought a ripe banana wrapped in an old newspaper. He opened the packet and started to eat his last food 37 an old beggar approached him. With trembling lips, the beggar told him that he hadn’t had anything to eat for several days and was too weak to walk. The young man felt 38 . So he didn’t eat the banana. 39 , he gave the banana to the beggar. The beggar ate it with great joy and 40__ him. While leaving, the beggar gave him a very old coin, saying, “Thank you very much. You gave me everything you had. Kindly accept this coin as my gift 41 your kindness.”
After the old man left, he 42 glanced at the piece of paper used to wrap the fruit. There he saw a（n） 43 from an agency dealing with old coins. Anyone 44 old coins was invited to visit the agency and receive suitable price for their old coins on the spot. Out of simple 45 , he carried the coin to the agency after 46 it by phone.

One of my. next-door neighbor is a sweet 92-year-old Polish lady. A few days ago, I came back from a trip. As I was 16 . my clothes in my room, I heard a(n) 17 , frantic(发疯的) knock on the door. It was 10:30 pm, and I wasn’t sure who it could be. I went downstairs and 18 the peephole, and saw that it was our sweet next-door neighbor.
I quickly 19 the door, and she seemed really distressed and kept 20 , Please help me. I need your help. The fire alarm won’t go off. Please help me.” I 21 told her that everything would be okay, and 22 her to her house to see what was going on 23 the fire alarm.
She 24 that the alarm had been going on and off inconsistently(反复无常的) for the past two hours, and that her 25 to call her daughter to come and fix it was fruitless. So I took a chair from her dining room table, 26 it, and looked at the tire alarm.
After twisting the fire alarm off, I blew into it, because sometimes 27 causes it to make strange noises. She seemed 28 but was literally shaking out of fear. I asked her 29 she was okay, and she said she was 30 , so I gave her a hug. I felt her shaking in my embrace, and held her 31 for a few minutes until she stopped shaking and sighed a breath of relief.
We then 32 and talked for ten minutes, until I felt that she was okay. and safe to sleep. She was so generous with 33 for being with her, but I thanked her for 34 me that hugs are indeed good tools! So, sometimes, a(n) 35 hug is a good and powerful way to hold someone going through a difficult period.

Beware of those who use the truth to cheat. When someone tells you something that is 36 , but leaves out important information that should be 37 , he can create a false impression.
For example, someone might say, “I just 38 a hundred dollars on the lottery. It was great. I took that dollar ticket back to the store and 39 it for one hundred dollars!”
This guy’s a winner, 40 ? Maybe, maybe not. We then discover that he bought two hundred 41 , and only one was a winner. He’s really a big 42 !
He didn’t say anything that was 43 , but he deliberately left out some important 44 . That’s called a half-truth. Half-truths are not technically 45 , but they are just as not 46 .
Untrustworthy candidates in 47 campaigns often use this strategy. Let’s say that during Governor Smith’s last term, her state lost one million jobs and 48 three million jobs. Then she 49 another term. One of her opponents runs an advertisement 50 , “During Governor Smith’s term, the state lost one million jobs!” That’s true. 51 , an honest statement would have been, “During Governor Smith’s term, the state had a net gain of 52 million jobs.”
Advertisers will sometimes use half-truths. It’s 53 the law to make false claims so they try to mislead you with the 54 . An advertisement might boast (吹嘘), “Nine out of ten doctors recommend Yucky Pills to cure nose pimples.” It 55 to mention that they only asked ten doctors and nine of them work for the Yucky Corporation.
This kind of cheat happens too often. It’s a sad fact of life: Lies are lies, and sometimes the truth can lie as well.
