As I was driving out of the store parking lot, they crossed in front of me．My first reaction was filled with 36 at being delayed for a whole ten seconds．But I quickly became 37 when I realized that it was an elderly 38 ．
The man leaned on his 39 who walked in front of him．He not only used her for 40 but it was obvious that he was blind．The two of them _41 as one—each needing the other to 42 in this fast-changing world．
That little example of true strength 43 my whole personal perception(理解) of life that day．Suddenly I wasn’t so 44 having to work a few extra hours on Saturdays．I had my 45 ，and I was still 46 young．
That picture of those two elderly people walking with dignity(尊严) and strength 47 me the entire week．My 48 wasn’t so bad after all．I had my health and a good job．I had a wonderful， 49 wife．I started to think—not only was I 50 to have these all, but so was that wonderful old couple，who，_51 the trials and sufferings of a long life，still had the love and support of each other to 52 them through this world．
There are so many people out there just like that couple．My wife and I sometimes 53 ourselves in our old age, walking arm in arm into the sunset. That image always gives us a 54 feeling．Just remember, none of us would be here if it wasn’t for our elders．We all should spend a little extra time and patience, 55 helping our elder friends．

When I was a teenager, my dad did everything he could to advise me against becoming a brewer（酿酒人）. He’d 36 his life brewing beer for local breweries only to make a living, 37 were his father and grandfather before him. He didn’t want me 38 near a vat （酿酒用的桶）of beer.
So I did as he asked. I got good 39 , went to Harvard and in 1971 was accepted into a graduate program there that 40 me to study law and business at the same time.
In my second year of grade school, I began to realize that I’d 41 done anything but go to school. So, at 24 I decided to drop out. 42 , my parents didn’t think this was a great idea. But I felt strongly that you can’t 43 till you’re 65 to do what you want in life.
I packed my stuff into a bus and headed to Colorado to become an instructor at Outward Bound. Three years later, I was ready to go back to 44 . I finished Harvard and got a highly paid job at the Boston Consulting Group. Still, after working there five years, I 45 . Is this what I want to be doing when I’m 50? At that time, Americans paid 46 money of beer in low quality. Why not make good beer for 47 ? I thought.
I decided to give up my job to become 48 . When I told Dad, he was 49 , but in the end he 50 me. I called my beer Samuel Adams, 51 the brewer and patriot who helped to start the Boston Tea party. 52 I sold the beer direct to beer drinkers to get 53 out. Six weeks later, at the Great American Beer Festival, Samuel Adams Boston Lager won the top prize for American beer. In the end I was destined to be a brewer. My 54 to the young is simple: Life is very 55 , so don’t rush to make decisions. Life doesn’t let you plan.

Once upon a time, there was a large mountainside, where an eagle’s nest rested. The eagle’s nest contained four 36 eagle eggs. One day an earthquake rocked (使震动) the mountain 37 one of the eggs to roll down the mountain, 38 a chicken farm, which was in the valley below. The chickens knew that they must 39 and care for the eagle’s egg, so an old hen 40 to hatch (孵) and raise the large egg.
One day, the egg hatched and a beautiful eagle was born. 41 , however, the eagle was raised to be a(n) 42 . Soon, the eagle believed he was 43 more than a chicken. The eagle loved his home and family, 44 his spirit cried out for more. While playing a game on the farm one day, the eagle looked to the skies above and 45 a group of eagles soaring (高飞) in the skies. “Oh,” the eagle 46 , “I wish I could soar like those birds.” The chickens shouted with 47 , “You cannot soar with those birds. You are a chicken and chickens do not soar.”
The eagle 48 staring at his real family up above, 49 that he could be with them. Each time the eagle would let his 50 be known, he was told it couldn’t be done. That is 51 the eagle learned to believe. Slowly, the eagle 52 dreaming and continued to live his life like a chicken. 53 , after a long life as a chicken, the eagle 54 .
You become what you believe you are; so if you ever dream to become an eagle, 55 your dreams, not the words of a chicken.
We are warned by our teachers not to waste time because time 26 will never return. I think it quite 27. What does time look 28 ? Nobody knows, and we can’t see it or touch it and no 29 of money can buy it. Time is abstract(抽象的), so we have to 30 about it.
Time passes very quickly. Some students say they don’t have 31 time to review their lessons. It is 32 they don’t know how to make use of their time. They waste it in going to theatres or playing, and 33 other useless things. Why do we study everyday? Why do we work? Why do most people 34 take buses instead of walking? The answer is very 35 .We wish to save time because time is36.
Today we are living in the 21st century. We 37 time as life. When a person dies, his life ends. Since life is short, we must 38 our time and energy to our study so that we 39 be able to work and live well in the future. Laziness is the 40 of time, for it not only brings us 41 , but also does other 42 to us. If it is necessary for us to do our work today, 43 we do it today and not 44 it until tomorrow. Remember that time is much more 45.

I do a lot of management training each year for the Circle K Company. Among the 21 we discuss in our classes is the 22 of quality employees（雇员）
“What has caused you to stay 23 enough to become a manager?" I asked. After a while a new manager took the 24 and said slowly, "it was a baseball glove.”
Cynthia said she used to 25 a Circle K clerk job as an interim (时临的.) one while she looked for something 26 . On her second day behind the counter, she received a (an) 27 from her nine-year-old son, Jessie. He 28 a baseball glove for the little League. She 29 that as a single mother, money was 30 , and her first check would have to go for paying 31.
When Cynthia arrived for work the next morning, Partircia, the store manager asked her to come to her small office and handed her a box. “I overheard you 32 to your son yesterday,” she said, “and I know that it is 33 to explain things to kids. This is a baseball glove for Jessie. I know you have to pay bills 34 you can buy gloves. You know we can’t 35 good people like you as 36 as we would like to; but we do 37 and I want you to know how 38 you are to us.”
The thoughtfulness, empathy (同情) and love of the store manager show vividly that people 39 more how much a( n) 40 cares than how much he pays.

Mobile phones are everywhere in big cities. It seems that 16 can survive without one. Mobile phones are a great 17 to stay connected with friends and family. 18 , it is important to remember that there are certain times 19 you should not be using your phone, especially as a student, during school.
20 you are in class, you should not be sending your friends text messages 21 taking phone calls. Your classmates and teacher should not have to deal with this rude 22 . Aren’t you at school to learn?
In the United States, students would never be allowed to 23 their mobile phones during class. If you were to send or 24 a text message you would probably be kicked 25 class. It is very disturbing to hear a lot of tones and ringing during 26. There are many more rules for mobile phone use in America and it is to 27 respect for those around you.
As a teacher in China, I have to 28 students using mobile phones every day. I have told my class to 29 their phones, but many students do not listen. The 30 to be connected all the time seems to be more 31 than the desire to learn.
It’s easy to understand 32 it is so tempting(诱惑人的) to have your phone on during class. It seems so easy just to send a short text message; it’s not hurting anyone, is it? But you may actually be hurting 33 when you do this. Your teacher knows when you use your phone and may give you a 34 grade. Sending a text message also takes your attention away from what’s going on in class, you may 35 something important.
