Recently I was invited to attend a party that helps children seriously injured in the big earthquake that happened this May. I went because I 31 .
At the party, all the children were given paints in bright, beautiful colors. After a short time, as I 32 , I saw blue clouds, orange sunrises and purple flowers. The 33 were all bright.
The boy sitting next to me was painting a heart, but it was 34 and lifeless. It lacked (缺乏) the bright colors that his fellow (同伴) “_35_” had used.
I thought maybe he took the only paint that was 36 and it just happened to be dark. But when I asked him about it, he said his 37 was that color. I asked him why and he told me that he was very 38 . He looked straight into my eyes and said, “There is 39 anyone can do that will help.”
I certainly 40 why he was sad. I said, “It isn’t 41 that there is nothing anyone can do to help. Other people may not be 42 to make you recover better…but we can do things 43 giving bear hugs (拥抱), which will 44 when you are feeling sad.” I also told him that I’d be happy to give him one 45 he could see what I meant. He immediately gave me a huge hug and I thought my own heart would burst with the 46 I felt for this sweet boy.
As the day was coming to an end, I was getting ready to 47 home. I turned around and found that standing there with 48 on his face was the little boy. He said, “My heart is 49 colors. It is getting brighter. Those 50 really do work.” On my way home I felt my own heart had changed to a brighter color, too.

Even after many years, she still has not forgotten the last day her whole class got together to say goodbye to their dearest schooldays. Those 36 memories always become vivid every time nostalgia (怀旧) drives her feet towards the old 37 , only to find a big old tree with all of their names carved deep into the 38 and the new school houses.
Time has changed each fate beyond any 39 .The jolly "dwarf"(快乐的矮子) of the class has now turned into a 40 businessman. The shy, skinny "bookworm" is now a talented Ph. D. That naughty girl has 41 the well-known athlete and the class beauty a movie star. But she, a 42 addict, was driven by an inner force to put her pen aside and becomes a 43 instead.
Now, she is a teacher, yet she has to 44 learning numerous difficult lessons of life. The more she 45 , the better she understands the value of her teacher's 46 lesson. She has given her students the whole-hearted 47 and tenderness that she once received from her teacher who passed 48 years ago.
Now and then, she catches 49 of a warm look in the eyes of her students, which encourages her to 50 . She hopes to find herself again in her students: always listening carefully and appreciating each 51 . To her, that will be the noblest award she could 52 receive in her teaching years.
She tells herself to try her best to understand and take life at its deepest. 53 she hasn't enough teaching experience she will give her students the 54 that are not written in the lesson plans, as her teacher used to do. Her teacher's 55 "The giving of love is an education in itself" will be always in her mind.

In the middle of the night, Peter’s wife suddenly fell ill. She couldn’t help crying, “Oh, my stomach (胃)! Get the 16 !”
Peter, awaking from a deep sleep, thought his wife was only having a 17 dream.
“Stop that noise.” he said to her. He turned over and tried to go to 18 again, but his wife still cried out, “Oh, help! Help! I’m sure I’m 19 !”
Peter got out of bed and started 20 , but he could not find him any clothes.
“Where is my shirt?” he asked. His wife was 21 ill to tell him, and she could only cry, “Oh, my 22 stomach!”
As soon as he had put his clothes 23 , he said, “Now, my dear, are you quite 24 that you need the doctor? Surely you can wait 25 morning, can’t you?”
“No, I can’t. Go, go, go.” his wife shouted,“ 26 you will find me dead 27 the morning.”
So Peter went out into the dark street. He had only gone a few meters 28 he heard his wife calling him again.
“I’m 29 again now, and I shall not want the doctor.” she said softly.
Hearing this, he started running as 30 as he could towards the doctor’s. When he arrived there, he knocked at the door loudly enough to wake 31 around.
The doctor put his sleepy head out of the bedroom window and said, “Er? Who’s there?”
“Oh, Doctor.”Peter said to him, “I’ve very 32 news for you. My wife 33 ill with a terrible stomachache (胃疼). I was on my way to bring you to her, but she called me back to say the trouble had suddenly 34 her. So you need not come. Go back to 35 now,and sleep well!”

A man found a cocoon of a moth. He took it home so that he could 31 the moth come out of the cocoon. On that day a small 32 appeared, he sat and watched the moth for several hours as the moth struggled to 33 the body through that little hole.
Soon it seemed to stop making any progress. It appeared as if it had 34 as far as it could and it could go no farther. It just seemed to be stuck. So the man, out of his kindness, decided to help the moth. He took a pair of scissors and cut off the 35 bit of the cocoon. The 36 then came out easily. But it had a swollen body and small, shriven（无用的） wings. The man continued to watch the moth because he expected that, at any moment, the wings would enlarge and 37 to be able to support the 38 , which would get smaller in time. Neither happened! In fact, the little moth spent the rest of its life 39 around with a small, swollen body and shriveled wings. It was 40 able to fly.
What the man in his kindness 41 was that the small cocoon and the 42 of the moth to get through the 43 opening was a way to push fluid(液体) 44 the body of moth 45 its wings so that it would be ready to fly 46 it got out of the cocoon. Freedom and 47 would come only after the struggle. By taking the moth of a struggle away, he also took away the moth’s health.
Sometimes struggles are exactly what we need in our life. If we were to 48 our lives without any difficulties, we would be disabled. We would not be as 49 as what we could have been. Give every opportunity a chance, leave no room for 50 .
