The story happened on a hot heavy rainy day.
After class, I took a few bottles to go and 36 some water from the water room. Oh! There were so many people! I had to wait 37 the rain. My hair didn't get wet because I wore a hat, but my clothes 38 .
When at last it was my 39 , I filled the bottles as quickly as possible. I began making my way back when I saw a boy 40 towards me. He 41 two umbrellas in his hand. He shouted hello and as he came 42 , I recognized that it was Tom.
He 43 my classmate for nearly three years, but we never 44 more than ten sentences. He was silent, but I liked talking. We were quite 45 people and had nothing in common. I didn't 46 him and even didn't want to see him.
"Hey! What's wrong?" His words 47 me out of my thought. "I saw you 48 in the rain, so I brought you this umbrella. But it seems a little 49 , your clothes are already wet,"
On hearing this, I was so 50 that I couldn't say a single word.
"Don't just stand there. Let's go!" He said and held the umbrella for me. We walked towards 51 and this time we talked 52 .
"I know you don't like me, but I want to 53 with you." he said, "You may think I am silent, but it is because I can't find the right 54 to say."
The rain finally stopped and we saw a rainbow in the blue sky. I said to myself, "It is wrong to 55 someone only by his appearance.

I arrived in the classroom，ready to share my knowledge and experience with 75 students who would be my English literature class．Having taught in the US for 17 years，I had no about my ability to hold their attention and to on them my admiration for the literature of my mother tongue．
I was shocked when the monitor shouted，“ !” The entire class rose as I entered the room，and I was somewhat about how to get them to sit down again，but once that awkwardness (尴尬) was over，I quickly calmness and began what I thought was a fact—packed lecture，sure to gain their respect—perhaps their admiration．I went back to my office with the rosy glow which came from a(n) of achievement．
My students diaries．However，as I read them，the happy mood was gradually by a strong sense of sadness．The first diary said, “Our literature teacher didn’t teach us anything today． her next lecture will be better．”Greatly surprised，I read diary after diary，each expressing a theme．“Didn’t I teach them anything? I described the entire philosophical framework (哲学体系) of Western thought and laid the historical for all the works we’ll study in class，” I complained．“How they say I didn’t teach them anything?”
It was a long term，and it became clear that my ideas about education were not the same as of my students．I thought a teacher’s job was to raise questions and provide enough background so that students could ＿ their own conclusions．My students thought a teacher’s job was to provide information as directly and clearly as possible．What a difference!
，I also learnt a lot，and my experience with my Chinese students has made me a＿ American teacher, knowing how to teach in a different culture.

My friend Tom came across an accident when driving in darkness. His legs were so hurt that he couldn’t move. What was was that he found himself unable to ask for help—his mobile phone went out of as a result of exhausted battery. Nothing could be done but in the cold wilderness. It was 8 hours later that day broke and then the of the rescue team.
It is almost that he could stand the horror in the darkness for so long. Even more surprising was his . “First of all I checked my conditions and found myself not in danger. As there was no to call for help, I leaned（斜靠）back in my seat trying my best to keep the wound from . In this way I dozed（打盹）off.”
His story put an end to my regret for the of an exploration that happened last year. A group of young men to explore a mountain cave and got lost. to find a way out in the dark cave they were frightened and ran anxiously without a sense of . Finally, they fell dead in fear and exhaustion. According to the team that found them, the place where they got lost was only about 10 meters away from the of the cave. If they stayed on the spot when they lost their way and tried to themselves, they would probably have sensed a faint light glowing(发出) not far away.
Don’t you think that you can compare it with itself? When you meet with difficulties in life, you are lost in darkness. Focus that it’s unclear to you yet and you needn’t put up struggle . It seems to be a negative attitude, a person who can do so must have foresight as well as a great in the first place.

There are going to be moments in life when you must make very important decisions. You will find many people to offer you advice if you ask for it (and even if you don’t), but always remember that the life you is yours and nobody else’s. It’s important to decide for yourself what’s important to you and what you want before you others. Because while there will be times outside advice proves wise, there will be at least as many times when it proves completely . The only way to really evaluate other folks’ advice is to first learn everything that you can about whatever challenge you are . Once you’ve done that, in most cases you should be able to make a wise decision anyway.
You were with the ability to decide what is and what isn’t in your best interest. Most of the time, you will make the right decision and the appropriate action, and in thinking for yourself, you will become far more successful than if you had gone against your own .
Early on in my investment career, I made the mistake of a few important business decisions on colleagues’ opinions instead of conducting the necessary to make a wise decision. It wasn’t due to on my part; no one could ever accuse me of that. But, being to Wall Street, I intended to suppose that my more senior knew more than I did, and so I too much significance to their opinions.
You know what happened? Each of those investments ended in . Eventually I stopped allowing myself to be influenced by and began doing the work myself and making my own decisions. It took me until I was almost 30 years old to this—it’s never too late for a person to change his approach both to and to life.
