The story tell us about the British writer, Richard Savage. He was once living in London with money in his pockets. In order to get some food and clothes, he wrote the story of his life and managed to have it published. But not many copies of his books were in the shops, and he was still living a hard life. Because of anxiety(忧虑)and malnutrition(营养不良)， he became very weak and before long he fell , and a doctor was sent for. The doctor was not rich enough, but was literature. He tried his best to cure Savage of his illness and a week later Savage was out of danger. When he finally recovered(重新获得) his , the doctor sent a bill to Savage for his , but poor Savage had no money to pay it. The doctor waited for a month and sent another bill. Receiving no money again, the doctor went to Savage himself.
"You know you owe(欠) your life to me," said the doctor, "and I should some thankfulness from you."
"I agree," said the writer, " you've done a great favour(恩惠) for me and if I'm not ungrateful for your kindness, I'll damage(损坏) my life to you."
With these words he handed the doctor two copies of The Life of Richard Savage.
The doctor took the books home and began to _ them carefully.
"I see I've the life of a great writer," the doctor said to himself with a sense of pride, Maybe this is the only thing I could be really of in my life."
Five years later Savage called on the doctor to pay his bill, only to find that the doctor had already passed away.

Life is not easy, so I’d like to say “When anything happens, believe in yourself”
When I was a young boy, I was 36 shy to like talking to anyone. My classmates often 37 me. I was sad but could do nothing. Later, 38 happened, and it changed my life. It was an English contest. My mother encouraged me to 39 it.. What a terrible idea I thought! It meant I had to speak 40 all the teachers and students of my school!
“Come on, boy. Believe in yourself. You are sure to 41 ”Then mother and I talked about many different topics. At last I 42 the topic “Believe in yourself”. I did the best to remember the whole speech and practiced it over 100 43 .With my mother ’s love, I did 44 in the contest. I could hardly believe my 45 when the news came that I had won the first place. I heard the cheers(赞美) 46 the teachers and students. Those classmates 47 once looked down on (瞧不起) me, now all said “Congratulations” 48 me. My mother hugged me tightly for a while and gave me a kiss on my forehead.
49 then, everything has changed for me. When I do anything, I try to tell 50 to be confident and I will find myself. This is true not only for a person but also for a country.
