Mr．Glen is a millionaire．Five years ago, after returning from abroad to his motherland, he 36 up his small company．Speaking of success, Glen often tells us a story about his 37 expensive “school” fees．He always 38 a Ph．Degree, decided to return to the homeland, starting an undertaking．Before 39 , he bought a Rolex watch with the 40 made through years of work after school and the scholarships．At the airport he had to accept the routine customs check．The watch on his wrist was also demanded to be 41 down for inspection．Glen knew that carrying the specific goods out had to pay the tax．And he worried about paying 42 for his watch．So when he was checked, he told a lie that his watch was a worthless 43 ．When he was 44 of his ‘smarts’, immediately, 45 the presence of Glen, the officers hit the watch, which 46 nearly ￥100,000, into pieces at hearing Glen’s words．Glen was amazed． 47 he understood why, he was taken to the office to be 48 strictly．For many times of entry-exit 49 he knew that only those people in the “blacklist” would “enjoy” this special treatment．The officers 50 every thing carefully in the box, and warned him no matter what time of entry and exit he must accept the check and if 51 reusing and carrying fake and shoddy（伪劣）goods, he would be 52 according to law! Suddenly, his face turned red, and he had nothing in mind after boarding the plane for long.
After returning to the homeland, he often told the story to his family, and his employees, too．He said that this made a deep 53 on him, because an additional high “school” fee that he had ever paid made him realize the value of 54 , which he would 55 as the secret of his success forever.

Forgiveness
One windy spring day, I observed young people having fun using the wind to fly their kites. Multicolored 26 of varying shapes and sizes filled the bright skies like beautiful birds darting and 27 . As the strong wind blow against the kites, a 28 kept them in control.
Instead of 29 away with the wind they arose against it to achieve great 30 . They shook and pulled, 31 the control string and the long tail 32 them in tow(受支配), facing upward and against the wind. As the kites 33 and trembled against the string, they seemed to say, "Let me go! Let me go! I want to be 34 !" They soared beautifully even as they fought the restriction(约束) of the string. 35 , one of the kites succeeded in breaking loose. "Free at last" , it seemed to say "Free to fly with the wind".
Yet freedom from 36 simply put it at the 37 of an unsympathetic breeze. it dropped ungracefully(不雅地) to the ground and 38 in a wild mass of weeds and string against a dead bush. "Free at last" -- free to lie powerlessly in the dirt, to be blown 39 along the ground, and to lodge lifelessly against the first obstruction.
How much like kites we sometimes are. The Heaven gives us adversities and restrictions, rules to 40 from which we can grow and gain strength. Control is a 41 counterpart to the winds of opposition. Some of his tug at the rules so hard that we 42 soar to reach the heights we might have obtained. We keep part of the commandment and never rise 43 enough to get our tails off the ground.
Let us each rise to the great heights, 44 that some of the controls that we may be unhappy under are actually the steadying force that helps us 45 and achieve.

When I was a small child, during the war, we were very poor and we lived in a faraway village. One day, on the road, I found the __36__ pieces of a mirror. There was a German motorcycle accident.
I tried to find all the pieces and put them __37__, but it was not possible, so I kept only the __38__ piece and I made it round. I began to __39__ with it as a toy and became greatly attracted by the __40__ that I could reflect（反射）light to dark places where the sun would never shine in __41___holes and some other dark places. It became a __42__ for me to get light into the darkest places I could find.
I __43__ the little mirror, and, as I ___44__ up, I would take it out when I had nothing to do and __45__ the game. As I became a __46__, I grew to understand that this was not __47__a child’s game but a metaphor（象征）for what I might do with my life. I came to __48___ that I am not the light or the source（来源）of light, but light—truth, understanding, knowledge—is __49___, and it will shine in many dark places only if I reflect it.
I am just a single piece of a mirror whose ___50__ design and shape I do not know. __51___, with what I have I can reflect light into the dark places of this __52__， into the black places in the___53__ of men—and change some things __54___ some people. Perhaps others may see and do the same. This is what I am about. This is the __55___ of my life. （269 words）
