Long long ago, a circle missed one piece of its own. The circle wanted to be whole, so it went around looking for its piece. But because it was and therefore could roll only very slowly, it the flowers along the way. It with the worms. It enjoyed the sunshine. It found lots of different pieces, but of them fitted. So it left them all by the side of the road and searching. Then one day the circle found a piece that fitted . It incorporated the missing piece into itself and began to roll. it was a perfect circle, it could roll very fast, fast to notice the flowers or talk to the worms. After it realized how different the world seemed when it rolled so quickly, it , left its found piece by the side of the road and rolled slowly away.
The of the story, I suggest, is that in some strange we are more whole when we are missing something. The man who has is in some ways a poor man. He will never know what it like to nourish his soul with the dream of something . When we accept that is part of being human and when we can continue rolling life and appreciate it, we will have a wholeness that others can only desire, which , I believe, is _ God asks of us — not “Be perfect”, not “Don’t even make a mistake”, “Be whole”.

It was a cold winter morning. Half asleep at the train station, I stared into the distance, 31 for the train to take me to my 32 in Boston. The world was quiet. The very few people on the street kept to themselves, 33 their steaming cups of coffee.
Reaching into my pocket as the 34 was approaching, my numb hand searched for the $ 20 bill to pay my fare. The pocket was 35 
! I searched through my bag and then I felt 36 . Unless the money dropped from the sky, I’d be 37 there.
“What’s the matter?” A short, elderly man stood before me.
“Oh, nothing…Well, I 38 my money and now I can’t pay for the ticket. I’m going to 39 my math class and the train is leaving.”
“Here, use this.”
The man held a $ 20 bill. I looked up, 40 . People just didn’t do that any more. Everyone worried about their own 41 , rarely stopping to think about others, especially teenage strangers.
“Thank you, but no, I can’t.”
“ 42 it—go!” The man pushed me 43 the train. I bought a round-trip ticket, and he refused the change I 44 to give him back. I did not know what to say — a million thoughts raced through my mind, yet I stood 45 .
For the train ride I was silent. I began to see the world through 46 eyes. That man made a difference with such a simple 47 .
A week later I was at the train station again, with an extra $20 48 I saw the man. And there he was.
“Excuse me, sir, I believe I owe you this.” I 49 the money into his hand.
Failing to refuse, he said, “Just remember to do the same for someone in your shoes some day.” I smiled, 50 .
The elderly man is my hero. For many, heroes are famous, but my hero is a giving stranger who taught me a lesson in life. I will never forget his kindness.

When a rather dirty, poorly dressed person kneels at your feet and puts out his hands to beg __36__a few coins, do you hurry on, not __37__ what to do, or do you feel sad and hurriedly __38__ some money?

It seems __41__ not to give some money to beggars.
__42__, most of the world’s great religions order us to be open-hearted and __43__what we have with those less lucky than ourselves. But has the world changed?

Related to this is the opinion that the problem should be handled by the government __51__ordinary people. Some people think beggars should go to the local government department and __52__ help.
It is hard to come to any final conclusion: there are various __53__and we must __54__ them differently. A few coins can save a life in some situations, and even if the money is wasted, that does not take away the moral goodness of the__55__.

When I was in Germany, one day at Christmas-time I went to a post office to send a letter. To my 41 I found people queuing some paces away from the person at the savings deposit window. 42 so?

From then on I 55 to watch their ways of doing things, manners, treatment 56 towards others. I found the Germans always mindful of other’s privacy.

Their laws 59 reading diaries or opening letters without permission. That shows 60 matters are not allowed to be disturbed.
