After about half an hour,a(an) man there in a hurry, “Oh ,it’s you . You did come here.”The young violinist asked calmly, “Are you Mr George Sang?” “Yes!Yes!”Then the violinist asked , “Did you lose something?” “Lottery(彩票).It’s the most valuable lottery in my 70 years of life,”said the man.
The violinist a lottery ticket. George Sang’s name was on it, so the violinist it to him.
Later someone asked the violinist, “Since you play the violin every day to make your tuition (学费)in the university, why didn’t you keep the lottery ticket for yourself?”
The violinist said, “Although I don’t have much money, I live happily; but if I lose honesty, I won’t be happy forever.”

The ability to forgive others is a great thing that can certainly help to make life happier for everyone. However, some people think that it is very 1 to do, and they don’t know how to forgive others, especially their family and friends. This is all because they don’t understand the meaning of “forgiveness”.
In the dictionary, “to forgive” means “to 2 feeling angry with somebody that has done something bad to you.” I’m happy that many people have 3 in doing this. I have succeeded, too, and I know how hard it is.
I lived with a friend for two years. During that time, he did cause me many 4 . I easily got angry when communicating with him. However, we 5 had a talk about our problems. When he pointed out (指出) that I wasn’t treating him like a friend, I was 6 . I never knew that I also needed to be forgiven for doing something wrong. I thought however 7 I might get, I did love my friend deep in my heart. Then I understood the saying, “To love is to forgive.” And when we 8 each other, we feel great. After that long talk, we both 9 those bad moments. Our friendship became fresh again.
Now I understand the 10 of forgiveness better.

This one was pink, old and worn with age. I thought I 40 my parents’ feelings because I could see the disappointment 41 their faces and I was sure they could see it on mine. I got on the old bike and rode it, feeling 42 that I had made my parents feel this way. So I put on a smile, rode as fast as I could and didn’t look back.
