Today the world's economy is not going well. Crisis（危机）is to our life just like to our body. Just as fatal(致命)disease can destroy our body and sometimes even put an to our lives, so does crisis knock us down so hopelessly that we might never have chance of standing up again．Just take my own country for instance．Of course，in the twenty years，our economy has gained the highest speed．But haven't we paid too much?Our rivers are ．Our natural resources are becoming and fewer．Is it worthy of it?
Crisis sometimes contributes(贡献)to our life treasure in a way that few can imagine．It can make us strong enough to face ourselves when we feel weak．Eric，my uncle is an . He had hard time in his going through such a fatal disease that he had never thought he survive. ，he was saved by doctors．Ever since then he regarded his life as a second given by God and has been so grateful to the world that he his best to do what he could. And now he is living a and successful life．

I sat down to read under an old tree in the park. I felt my life was 36 , because my whole world was dark.
A young 37 ran up to me, out of breath（气喘吁吁）. He stood right before me with his head down and said 38 , “Look what I found!” In his hand was a flower, and what a poor sight! The flower was dry and 39 . I gave him a small smile and then turned my eyes away so that he could take his dry flower and go off to play.
40 , he sat next to my side and placed the flower to his 41 and said in surprise, “It smells sweet and it’s beautiful, too. That’s 42 I picked it. Here, it’s for you.” The flower before me was dead. But I knew I must 43 it, or he might never leave. So I accepted(接受) the flower, and replied, “This is just what I 44 .” Just then, for the first time I noticed that the boy could not 45 －he was blind.
Tears came down my face as I 46 him for picking the best one. “You’re welcome.” he smiled, and then ran off to 47 . I sat there and wondered how he was able to learn about my pain.
Through the eyes of a blind child, 48 I could see the problem was not with the world; the problem was me. And for all those years I myself had been 49 . I decided to see the beauty in life, and 50 every second of my life. And then I held that dry flower up to my nose and breathed in the smell of a beautiful rose.

Once, in a small village, lived a family with eight children. Two of the children loved 31 very much, but the family was so poor that it was impossible to send 32 of them to study at the art college at the same time. After many discussions, the two boys finally 33 a plan. They would toss(抛) a coin. The loser would go 34 into the mines (煤矿) and, with his earnings(赚得的钱), 35 his brother studying at the college. Then, when the brother who won the toss finished his studies, after four years, he would support the other brother studying at the 36 .
James won the toss and Jack went down into the mines. James worked with all his heart and his paintings were much 37 than those of most of his teachers, and by the time he 38 , he was beginning to make a lot of money for his paintings.

But Jack said 43 , "Brother, the four years in the mines has done too much to my hands, so it' s too 44 . Now I can' t even hold a glass. "

I have been keeping 41 pets at home: mice, turtles and rabbits. But golden hanmsters are my favorite. I am always surprised by 42 cute they can be.
It was summer when I first 43 two golden hamsters. They 44 brown, about the size of my hand. When I 45 by, they were cracking melon seeds (嗑瓜子). They did that as 46 as any human! I was so amused (逗乐) that I bought them at once.
The only one who was not happy to see the newcomers was my 47 . She thought 48 would make our home dirty all the time. So I made a 49 for them on the balcony (阳台).
Hamsters always want people to look at them. They try to get noticed by raising the front part of their body, 50 they watch you come and go until you stop and talk to them. Watch out when they start to roller-turn in their cage (笼子). They won’t stop 51 you have tears of laugher!
Hamsters are 52 than you think. One morning several months ago, I found one missing. The side of the cage was much 53 than the hamster and the cage had a lid. How did the little one climb up, open the lid and 54 ? I thought hard. But I’ve 55 found an answer.
