I remember as a small child when we would have these gatherings where someone would come up and ask, “What are you going to be when you grow up?”
Well, it 41 being a cowboy or some super hero. Later it was a fireman, policeman, lawyer ... As I grew older my dreams of the future 42 . When, at last, I was in college, I made up my 43 to become a preacher(牧师) as my father. 44 I studied and prepared for that life. I reached 45 in the end and I was preaching nearly fulltime for much of my adult life.
However, for many, there is a “thief” which goes around stealing our 46 . Sometimes, the thief will come as a parent, a relative, or a friend, but the 47 thief is, so many times, just 48 .
We find ourselves just about reaching the top, and this “small” 49 inside says, “You will never make 50 .” “You can’t possibly do this.” And on and on the “small” voice 51 some kind of failure. Failure, though, is exactly how dreams are 52 . It is one of the most important tools we have, because it teaches us invaluable 53 . And, when we learn these lessons well, we are ready 54 success.
The message I always gave my children was that you 55 do anything your heart desires. Remember the saying, “Nothing is 56 to a willing heart.” There are 57 “overnight” successes, but with determination, it will come. Imagine yourself in the life you dream of 58 . Then in your heart, believe it 59 happen for you. Then work, work, work. You get the picture.
So, be true to your dream, and don’t let anyone 60 it from you—especially yourself.

The first day of school we were surprised to know a new classmate. I 1 around when a gentle hand touched my shoulder. I found a little 2 lady with a warm smile.
She said, “Hi! I’m 87 years old. Can I give you a hug? ” I laughed and heartily 3 , “Of course!”
“Why are you in college at such a young, innocent (天真的)age?” I asked.
She replied, “I’m here to meet a rich husband, get married, 4 children, and then travel around.”
“ 5 ?”I asked. I 6 why she gave herself so much trouble at this age.
“I always 7 having a college education and now I’m getting one!” she told me. We became friends quickly..
8, Rose became an icon(偶像) in the school and she easily made friends wherever she went. She loved to dress up and she enjoyed the 9 which was paid to her from the other students.
At the end of the term we invited Rose to speak at our football party. I’ll never forget what she 10 us.
“We do not stop playing because we are old; we grow old 11 we stop playing. Here are the secrets to staying 12 . You have to laugh and find 13 every day. You’ve got to have a dream. When you lose your dreams, you die. 14 we have many people like this walking around!” she said.
“There is a huge 15 between growing older and growing up. Anybody can grow older. That doesn’t 16 any gift or ability(能力),” she added. “But growing up needs 17 the chance in change. Have no regrets. The old usually don’t regret 18 they did, but rather things they did not do.”
One weak after graduation that year,Rose died in peace in her sleep.She taught us 19 that it’s never too 20 to be all you can possibly be.

Have you ever come across this thing？When a rather dirty，poorly dressed person kneels at your feet and reaches out his hands to beg for a few coins，do you hurry to go，not knowing what to do，or do you feel sad and hurriedly __1__ some money？What should our attitude __2__ beggars be？There can be __3__ question that the world is full of terribly sad stories. It __4__ be terrible to have no idea where our next meal is going to come from. It seems __5__ not to give some money to beggars.
_6__，most of the world's great religions order us to be openhearted and __7__ what we have with those unluckier than ourselves. But has the world changed？Maybe what was morally right in the old days，__8__ one knew exactly who in the village had suffered misfortune and needed help，is no longer the best idea.Quite a few people will not give some money to beggars.Let us look at their __9__.
Firstly，some believe that many city beggars dress themselves up __10_ to look pitiable but actually make a good __11__.Giving something to beggars only encourages this sort of evil(恶行)．__12__，there is the worry that the money you give will be spent on beers，wines or drugs.Thirdly，there is the opinion __13__ there is no real excuse for begging.One might be poor，__14__ that is no reason for losing one's sense of __15__ and selfdependence.
Related to this is the opinion that the problem should be handled by the government _16__ ordinary people. Some people think beggars should go to the local government department and _17__ help.
It is hard to come to any final conclusion：there are various _18__ and we must __19__ 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 __20__.
