When I was a teenager I volunteered to work at the water station at a 10,000 m race.      My 36 was to pass out water to the runners. I remember being so excited to see all the different kinds of    37   who passed by and   38 a cup of water. The next year I signed up for the   39   and gave it a shot.
The first 10,000 m race was quite an experience. I jogged, I walked, I jogged and I walked. At times, I didn’t   40   if I could finish.
At one point near the end, a 70-year-old man ran past me very   41   , and I felt embarrassed that I was 50 years younger than him and I couldn’t even keep up with him. I felt      42   for a second.
But then I   43    something. He was running his race and I was running mine. He had   44   capacities, experience, training and goals for himself. I had mine. Remember my   45    was only to finish.
After a minute, it   46 me that this was a lesson I could draw from . I learned 47 about myself in that moment. I turned my   48   into inspiration.
I decided that I would not   49 running races. In fact, I would run even more races and I would learn how to train and 50 properly and one day I would be one of those 70-year-olds who were still running. As I   51 the finishing line, I was proud 52 my accomplishment.

Until I took Dr. Offutt’s class, I was an underachieving student. But I left that class
50 _never to underachieve again. He not only taught me to think, he convinced me, as much by examples as words, that it was my _51   obligation to do so and to serve others.
Neither of us could know how our relationship would   52   over the years. When I first came back to DeMatha to teach English, I worked for Dr. Offutt, the department chair. My discussions with him as he mentored me were like graduate seminars in adolescent (青少年) 53    , classroom management and school leadership.
After several years, I was   54     department chair, and our relationship shifted again. I thought that it might be  55   to chair the department, since all of my former English teachers were  56  there, but Dr. Offutt supported me 57    . He knew when to give me advice about curriculum, texts and personnel, and when to let me  58   my own course.
In 1997, I needed his 59 about leaving DeMatha to become principal at another school. 60     he had asked me to stay at DeMatha, I might have.   61    , he encouraged me to seize the new opportunity.
Five years ago, I became the principal of DeMatha.   62     , Dr. Offutt was there for me, letting me know that I could   63    him as I tried to fill such big shoes.

The House Fairy
As young parents, my husband and I felt that at age 6 and 8, our children were old enough to be cleaning their rooms and making their beds. But they thought   36 . My complaints, repeating myself, even self-justified shouting were landing on   37    ears. I felt frustrated (沮丧的) , and very often a whole afternoon’s scolding would end with their   38   into tears, I realized I needed to   39   my methods of “mothering”.
One day while they were at school, I had great fun   40   their rooms. On their desks, in plain   41 , I left the cards: “Dear Bill (the other card was   42  to Sarah), your room was messy this morning and I’m sure you like it clean. Love, the House Fairy.”   43   arriving back, the children were   44   excited to receive the little note from the House Fairy. The next day, their rooms were fairly tidy. Sure enough, there was another note from the House Fairy         45   for them, thanking them for their nice “gift” of a clean room and   46   asking them to play a certain violin   47 . Each day, thank--you notes would be worded differently to keep the ideas   48 .
Sometimes the House Fairy would propose a little   49 : “If you can finish your homework today and   50   it before dinner, I’ d like to watch a particular television program with you tonight.” Sometimes some colored markers or other little items would be left in   51
of jobs especially well done the day   52 .
53  I can’t remember how long “the House Fairy” continued leaving her love notes. When they were no longer age appropriate (合适的), we used various versions of Post-Its. The bathroom mirror became the   54   centre of our home. Appointments, notices about visiting relatives, lesson schedules, and changes in plans could be posted.
We all benefited from and   55   the idea of sharing reminders and daily details of life through notes. I believe the true legacy of the House Fairy notes survives in our frequent and enjoyable communication.

Alice, my friend’s daughter, goes to an expensive private school where she has a friend, Jane, who is on a full scholarship at this school. Jane has  36   economic resources—her father has been dead for years and her mother works  37   a maid. Although her mother works very hard, she can  38   support the family. Jane is very bright and gifted at   39   and that’s how she has got the scholarship, which included a(n)  40   for things like lunch, school uniform and music lessons.
Alice became friends with Jane and would  41   talk to her at lunch. She did it that way in order to avoid the other kids  42   her.
On her birthday last month, she  43  her new friend to her birthday party, but Jane said she couldn’t come. Alice wanted her to be  44   so much that she  45  on her coming. Eventually, the girl said, “I don’t have any   46   clothes that I could wear at your birthday party.” After a brief pause, the girl remembered, “I have a  47   from my piano performance,” and asked, “Could I  48  a skirt from you?”
Alice was happy that her friend would be  49  to come and hurried home to ask her Mum   50   she could lend her friend one of her skirts. To her surprise, her Mum said, “No.” The daughter was very   51   and angrily said to her Mum, “ 52   I could, I would give my friend all my clothes.” The Mother didn’t understand why her daughter should have had such an outburst as she’s normally very well  53 .
Finally, Alice explained to her Mother her friend’s  54 .  Her Mother immediately changed her mind and said, “Yes.” She also encouraged her daughter not to feel like she should secretly be friends with Jane but to feel proud of her  55  with her.
So the true friendship seeks to give, not to take; to help, not to be helped; to minister, not to be ministered unto.

I believe in miracles(奇迹)because I've seen so many of them．One day，a patient was referred to me who was one hundred and two years old．“There’s a 36 in my upper jaw，”she said．“I told my own dentist it's nothing，but he  37 I come to see you”
Her eighty-year-old son accompanied her．He would 38 to add something，but she stopped him．She wanted to tell everything herself．I found a large cancer that spread over much of the
39 of her mouth．A careful examination later  40 that it was a particularly bad sort of cancer．
During her next appointment，I explained to her the   41 of the problem She clasped my
hand in hers and said，“I know you’re worried about me，but I’m just 42．”
I thought otherwise．After considerable 43 on my part，and kindness on her part because she wanted to 44 me，she agreed to have me refer her to a cancer surgeon．She saw him，but as I expected， 45 treatment．
About six months later she returned to my office，still energetic and 46 ．
“How are you?”I asked．
“I’m just fine，honey，”she responded 47 high spirits．“When can I get stared on fixing
my dentures(假牙)?”
Surprised to see her at all，I answered  48 ，“Let me take a look in your mouth and we’ll
see about it. ”
I couldn’t believe my eyes．The cancer that had 49 nearly the entire roof of her mouth was gone—only one small area of redness 50．
I had read of such things happening，but had 51 seen them with my own eyes．That was my first miracle．Since then I've seen many others，because they keep getting 52 to see．In fact，miracles are daily events for me now．And people are n miracle， 53 through them we have a chance to know ourselves and to 54 the miracles of one another．
Since my first miracle，I've come to understand that the time and place for a miracle is 55 we choose to find it．
