“The way we choose to respond when others make mistakes can cause them to feel ashamed or can allow them to remember our kindness and share our stories with future generations．”
——Michelle Sedas
When I read the above quote I couldn’t help but Doris．She had been a science teacher by ，but she also was a very person．All around her room were dolls that she had made．They were the most interesting dolls I’d ever seen；each was very from the other．
By talking to Doris I learned she’d a class in doll making．One day while I was in her room she took one of the dolls out of the case to me．This doll was very with fine artistic work．I was that anyone could do such unique work．
As Doris was the doll carefully in her hand，I could see a slight break in the skirt．I was to know what happened．Doris said that on the way to class she the side of the skirt．She expressed how scared she was and almost didn’t go to at a11．When it came her to show the doll to the teacher，she had to point out the in the skirt．Doris felt for sure that the doll would be because of it．Much to her surprise the teacher told her she was just going to this break and grade the doll on the other good it had．Doris shared that this remark and from the teacher changed her life．
This teacher could have made Doris feel by her mistake．But her willingness to ignore the mistake，Doris was sharing her kindness with the next generation．

There was a man who had a little boy that he loved very much. Every day after work the man would come home and 36 with the little boy. He would always 37 all of his extern) time with the little boy.
One night. while the man was at work, he __38 that he had extra work to do for the evening, and that he wouldn’t be able to play with his little boy. 39 he wanted to be able to give the boy something to keep him 40 . So, looking around his office, he saw a magazine with a large 41 of the world on the cover. He got a(n) 42 . He removed the map, and then patiently tore it up into small pieces. Then he put all the 43 in his coat pocket.
When he got home, the little boy came __44 to him and was ready to play. The man __45 that he had extra work to do and couldn’t play just now. He 46 the little boy into the dinning room, and 47 all the pieces of the map. He spread them on the table. He explained that it was a map of the world, and that by the time he could 48 together, his extra work would be 49 , and they could both play. Surely this would keep the child busy for hours, he thought.
About half an hour later the boy came to the man and said, “Okay, it’s finished. Can we play now?”
The man was 50 , saying, “That’s impossible. Let’s have a look.” And 51__enough, there was the picture of the world, all put together, every piece in its 52 .
The man said, “That’s amazing! How did you do that?” The boy said, “It’s 53 . On the 54 of the page is a(n) 55 of a man. When I put the man together the whole world fell into place.”

Days stretched out. By Christmas, Maria had trouble 26 from one end of the room to the other. Carmen lost all hope. She fell into a 27 of the hospital, crying.

Nowadays, a hospital always manages to keep its beds full. This is good on the one hand, and it’s bad on 36 hand.
One day, I went to see a sick friend at the hospital. I first went to the 37 desk, where I could get a permit to visit the patient.
38 I could ask which room my friend was in, the lady set down my name, age, filled out a form and 39 a bell. I was just about to tell her what I was coming for when two men arrived with a wheelchair, 40 me in it and pushed me down the hall.
“I’m not 41 ,” I shouted. “I’m just looking for a friend.”
“When he comes,” one man said, “we’ll 42 him up to your room.”
In a minute I 43 myself in a small room. In no time they undressed me and covered some other things 44 me. One man said “If you need anything, press the button.”
“I want to get my 45 back.” I begged.
“Oh, you can 46 us,” a voice said, “Even if the 47 happens, we will see that your wife will get everything.” They left and locked the door 48 them.
I was trying to think of how to escape by the door when Dr. Ward came in with several of his 49 .
“Thank God you finally came,” I said.
“It hurts that badly?” he asked.
“No, on the contrary, I am not ill 50 .”
Dr. Ward looked 51 . “If you don’t feel any pain, that means it’s much more 52 than we expected.” Then he turned to his students, “This is the most difficult kind of patient to deal with because he refuses to 53 that he is ill. __54__ he won’t tell us where it hurts, he will never be well again until we find the hurt out for 55 by doing exploratory surgery (手术探查) .”

At the beginning of this century, medical scientists made an interesting discovery: we are built not just of flesh(肌肉) and blood but also of time. They were 41 to show that we all have a ‘body clock’ 42 us, which controls the 43 and fall of our body energies, 44 us different from one day to the next.
The 45 of a ‘body clock’ should not be too 46 since the lives of most living things are controlled 47 the 24-hour night-and-day cycle(循环). We feel 48 and fall asleep at night and become 49 and energetic during the day. If the 24-hour cycle is 50 most people experience unpleasant 51 . For example, people who are not 52 to working at night can find that 53 of sleep causes them to 54 badly at work.
55 the daily cycle of sleeping and 56 , we also have other cycles which 57 longer than one day. Most of us would 58 that we feel good on some days and not so good on 59 ; sometimes our ideas seem to flow and at other times, they 60 do not exist.

A strong wind was blowing hard, thunder was rumbling, and lightning flashed across the dark sky. Rain was 36 down; it looked as if heaven had been broken open.
Gleams of light appeared from windows of 37 houses, shining like jewels in all the dark.
A 38 woman dressed in rags and trembling with cold was 39 on a lonely road, while the merciless rain was 40 her without pause. She knocked at the door, and a 41 answered it. She begged him to let her stay a while 42 . The boy then let her into the sitting room and 43 her sitting by the fire.
The woman 44 old and tired under the bright electric light, 45 she was only in her early thirties. She sat 46 for a moment, and then her eyes began to look about the 47 . When her wandering eyes rested on the picture of a young man, she 48 up, looking thunderstruck. Just then, the boy came with his 49 . The man at once recognized the woman as his 50 . They had 51 touch with each other during the war, and he thought he had lost her forever.
52 words needed to be spoken, They embraced each other 53 the boy stared at them, puzzled.
The storm was over and the sky cleared. Feeling very 54 , the couple stood face to face with their child between them, watching the rain as it gradually 55 .
