When I was in middle school, I was one of the smaller players on the basketball team. In our first game of the season, we were 31 to face a good team, all of whom were tall guys. Naturally, at my 32 , it would have been easy to be 33 by our competitors.
On game day, my basketball coach called me over to him. He was a strong and tough coach, and in his 34 rough manner said, “Joel, you’re not that 35 , but let me tell you that size doesn’t matter. Don’t be afraid. What 36 is right down in here.” He pointed his finger at his 37 as he continued, “Joel, you’ve got a big heart, and you’re to 38 it this year.”
When I heard the coach’s 39 , I stood taller than usual! I thought to myself: The coach believes in me! My confidence 40 and I played better that year than I’d ever done before.
It’s 41 what we can achieve when we know somebody really believes in us. That coach took a little time to make a big 42 . He took time to make me confident in myself. If we’re going to 43 the best in people, we need to sow seeds of 44 .
As the saying goes, “Love looks for a way of being constructive.” 45 , love looks for ways to help improve somebody else’s life.
When people are 46 us, they should leave better off than they were before. People should feel 47 and inspired after spending any time with you and me 48 feeling discouraged or defeated.
Remember, there’s 49 greater investment（投资）in life than in being a people builder. Relationships 50 much more to us than our achievements.

But at ________ , a different story is told. How we treat our loved ones, young and old. Later in the kitchen, as I ________ the meal, my daughter walked up to me, very still. When I turned, I ________ knocked her down. “Get out of the way!” I shouted with a frown (皱眉). She stepped away silently, with her little heart ________. I didn’t realize how rudely I had spoken.
That night, when I lay ________ in bed, God’s quiet voice spoke to me and said, “While __________ with a stranger, you are calm and polite , but with those you love, you are quick to excite. Go to look around on the kitchen floor, you’ll find some flowers there by the ________.Those are the flowers she brought for you. She ________ them herself — pink, yellow, and your favorite blue. She stood there quietly and you never saw the ________ in her eyes.”
By this time, I felt sad and small and now my own tears began to fall. I quietly went and knelt (跪) by her ________ .“Wake up, my dear,”I said.“Are these the flowers you picked up for me?” She smiled, “I found them out by the tree, I ________ them in a napkin（纸巾）, just for you. I knew you’d like them, especially the ________ .” I said,“I am so sorry that I missed them today. And I ________ have fussed (大惊小怪) at you that way. ”
And she whispered, “Mommy, that’s OK… I still love you ________ .”I hugged(拥抱) her and said,“I love you, too and I love the flowers.”
Do you know that: if you die tomorrow, the ________ you are working for could easily replace you soon. But the family you leave ________ will feel the loss for the rest of their lives. And come to think of it, we pour ourselves more into our________ than into our families--- an unwise investment (投资) indeed.

在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
On Nov． 18， 1995， violinist Itzhak Perlman performed a concert at Avery Fisher Hall at Lincoln Center in New York City．
Stricken with polio （小儿麻痹症） as a child，Perlman walked with the aid of two crutches（拐杖）to a chair in the middle of the stage．He carefully laid the crutches on the floor， one leg forward and the other underneath his chair， picked up his instrument and nodded to the to begin．
But something went wrong． After only seconds of playing， one of the strings on his violin ．The audience immediately knew what happened and fully expected the concert to be until another string or even another insrument could be found． But Perlman them． He quickly calmed down， closed his eyes and then the conductor to begin again．So the orchestra played from where they had and Perlman played on three strings． He played passion and power． All the time he worked out new fingering in his mind to make up for the string． A work that few people play well on four strings Perlman accomplished on three．
When he finished， a（n） silence hung in the room．And then as one， the crowd rose to their feet and wildly．Applause burst forth from every corner of the auditorium fans showed deep for his talent and his courage． Perlman smiled and wiped the sweat from his forehead．Then he raised his bow to the crowd and said， not proudly， but in a ， quiet， holy tone， “You know． sometimes it is the artist's to find out how much music you can still make with what you have left．”
Such was Itzhak Perlman． a great violinist． Playing a concert on three strings is not unlike his philosophy of life -- he what he had left and still made music．And isn't that true with us？As for me I'm that the world， more than ever， needs the music only you and I can make．

“When we feel love and kindness toward others, it not only makes others feel loved and cared for, but it helps us also to develop inner happiness and peace.”
As we live through life, we tend to get caught up in our individual world, our problems — our life. When we our world to include others in a meaningful way, by making a difference in their life, we increase our experience at the same time.
Think back on a time when someone made a difference in your life.
Here is one of mine: I was going to college, working part-time, and just getting by financially. Standing in line at a local supermarket, I a woman in the same line, thinking that she was not very attractive. As I was , I discovered that I did not have enough money to pay; without , that same woman I had been judging offered to the difference. It wasn’t , but what that person did made a lasting impression on me. She was a beautiful, caring soul who was willing to help a stranger in a(an) situation. That happened over forty years ago and I remember it as as if it was yesterday.
Other examples are the numerous times I have had people smile at me, which my day. I've often wondered if it was because I was smiling, which I to do all the time, or because they were smiling to be , which encouraged me to smile as well. It has probably been some of both. In case, that simple gesture (a smile) makes a difference in my day.
There are ways to make a significant difference in another's life. The question is: Are we doing it? It does not anything, but it does require some effort on our part. I have found that as I do this consistently, the go far beyond the energy required to do the deed. Looking for ways to brighten another person's day raises our vibration(共鸣),and when we act on it, we the other person to raise their vibration as well — it is to each other.
Make a difference in someone's life today, and doing so every day. Today is a perfect time to start! If you are already doing so. bravo!

In my class, there was a really weak-looking guy. I don’t know if his name was Vit or Wit. I will him as Wit in this story of mine. He was a pale, thin guy. Not only his build looked weak, the way he was also weak. He walked slowly but he tried to stay off of everyone’s way. The friends in my class, Jean and Ingrid, would him. Truth to be told,
I them as well. We did things like taking his stuff, like his pens and pencils, and them somewhere in the school.
Wit was also really of insects, even butterfly. Jean, Ingrid, and I often put beetle on his clothes and he would run around, trying to it off. There were many beetles in the school so that was the insect we used to scare him with. Other insects such as butterfly were hard to so we pretty much gave up on it. We would often take the when Wit was off-guard and put the insects on him. it was on him, he would run around or jump about. He was too scared to it and pull it off.
Suddenly one day, we were by the school. When I walked into the room, Wit’s mother, as well as Ingrid’s mother, Jean’s father, and mine were in the room silently. Wit’s mother said that Wit went home and the sandbag shouting “Jean!!! Ingrid!!! Archer!!!” every day. I wanted to laugh but didn’t with all the she was putting on us .She asked many things, including things I had no idea about such as “Who put Wit’s bag in the girl toilet?” Apparently, it was Jean who did it. Jean seemed to have bullied Wit quite a lot and got quite a(n) from Wit’s and her own mother.
I think it should have been quite guilty for to see us scolded by the parents. However , we decided to stop bullying Wit and be friendly to him.
