Who is setting your standards for you ?
A true story has it that one elder man 36 to jog around the local high school football field. As he huffed and puffed(气喘吁吁) along, the team was 37 . The players soon started running sprints up and down the field. The man told himself “I will 38 keep running until they quit.”
So he ran. And they ran. And he ran some more. And they kept running. And he kept running until he 39 finally run no more. He stopped in 40 . One of the players, equally out of breath, approached him and said in a crying voice, “Boy, I am so glad that you finally stopped. 41 told us we had to keep running 42 the old guy who was jogging !” He was watching them. They were watching him. He was letting them set his 43 , on the contrary, they allow him to set 44 .
My question is this: Are you keeping 45 with somebody else in your daily life? Are you 46 people to set your standards for you? What about your standards, or 47 , for moral behavior or even your way of building up your own characteristics ? Or guidelines for what kind of life 48 you want? Negative or positive? Do you keep pace with those 49 you, or do you decided yourself just 50 you will live your life? The true is that only you are 51 to determine what your standards will be.
Set your standards too low, and you will know only 52 . But set high standards and you can live an immeasurably full and 53 life. For only when you 54 the best that is within yourself, will you experience great living. Just as an old saying goes: “Think big 55 , and win big success.”

Love Is Just a Thread
Sometimes I really doubt whether there is love between my parents. Every day they are very busy trying to earn money in order to pay the 　36　 tuition for my brother and me. They don't 　37　 in the romantic ways that I read in books or I see on TV. My father has a bad temper; it's easy for him to lose his temper.
One day, my mother was sewing a quilt. I 　38　 sat down beside her and looked at her.
“Is there any 　39　 between you and Dad?” I asked her in a very low voice.
My mother stopped her work and raised her head with 　40　 in her eyes. She didn't answer immediately. Then she bowed her head and continued to sew the quilt.
　41　 at last I heard my mother say the following words:
“Susan,” she said 　42　.“Look at this thread. Sometimes it appears, but most of it disappears in the quilt. The thread really makes the quilt strong and durable(耐用的).If life is a
　43　,then love should be a thread. It can 　44　 be seen anywhere or anytime, but it's really there. Love is 　45　.”
I listened carefully but I couldn't understand her until the next 　46　.At that time, my father suddenly got sick seriously. My mother had to stay with him in the hospital for a month. After they were 　47　,every day in the morning and dusk(黄昏),my mother helped my father walk 　48　 on the country road. My father had never been so 　49　.Along the country road, there were many beautiful flowers, green grass and trees. The sun gently shone through the leaves. All of these 　50　 the most beautiful picture in the world. The doctor had said my father would 　51　 in two months. But after two months he still couldn't walk alone. We were all worried.
“Dad, how are you feeling now?” I asked him one day.
“Susan,”he said gently.“To tell you the truth, I just like 　52　 with your mom. I like this kind of life.”　53　 from his eyes, I knew he loved my mother deeply.
Once I thought love meant flowers, gifts and sweet kisses. But from this 　54　,I understand that love is just a 　55　 in the quilt of our life. Love is inside, making life strong and warm.

Everyone has experienced trying, but failing to master a difficult book that was begun with the hope of increasing one's understanding. When that happens, it is　36　to think that it was a mistake to try to read it, but that was not the mistake. The mistake was in　37　too much from the first reading of a(n)　38　 book. If you read it in the right way, no book written for the　39　reader, no matter how difficult, need be a cause for despair(令人失望).
What is the right method? The　40　is an important and helpful rule of reading that is either not 　41　 or often forgotten. That rule is simply this: when reading a difficult book for the first time, read it through without ever 　42　 to think about the things that you do not understand immediately.
Do not be stopped by what you 　43　 understand. Read through the difficult 　44　,and you soon come to things that you do understand. Read these 　45　.You will have a much better chance of understanding all of the book when you read it again, but that 　46　 you to have read the book through once 　47　.
What you understand by reading the book through to the　48　 will help you when you try later to read the places that you did not 　49　 in your first reading. Or if you never re-read the book, understanding half of it is much better than understanding 　50　 of it, which will happen 　51　 you allow yourself to be stopped by the first difficult part of the book.
Most of us were taught to 　52　 the things that we do not understand. We were told to find the 　53　 of unfamiliar words, and to try to find an explanation in another 　54　 for anything that we did not understand in the book that we were reading. But when these things are done before the proper time, they only 　55　our reading, instead of helping it.
