Are you facing a situation that looks impossible to fix?
In 1969, the pollution was terrible along the Cuyahoga River near Cleveland, Ohio. It (be) unimaginable that it could ever be cleaned up. The river was so polluted that it
(actual) caught fire and burned. Now, years later, this river is one of
most outstanding examples of environmental cleanup.
the river wasn’t changed in a few days or even a few months. It took years of work
(reduce) the industrial pollution and clean the water. Finally, that hard work paid off and now the water in the river is
(clean) than ever.
Maybe you are facing an impossible situation. Maybe you have a habit is driving your family crazy. Possibly you drink too much or don’t know how to control your credit card use. When you face such an impossible situation, don’t you want a quick fix and something to change immediately?
While there are (amaze) stories of instant transformation, for most of us the
(change) are gradual and require a lot of effort and work, like cleaning up a polluted river. Just be
(patience).
Sports should help a man to learn fairness, not only in games but also in life. If two teams play game, one team must lose. If a dozen
(team) attend an athletic competition, one team will get the most points and all the
eleven teams will get
points. If a school team comes out last, that is no loss of face.
that team and that school must do is to admit that it
(lose). The only intelligent reaction
defeat must be: next year we will do our best to come out on top, because from now on we will devote
to a stricter course of training under competent instructors.
Lessons (learn) in sports can help us in our dealing with other people. But even more
(value) are the lessons learned in extra-curricular activities in school: in speech, dramatic and musical contests, in “house” activities, and, especially, in the student council.
Today, after finishing dinner in town, my husband and I were driving back home. As we pulled over, we saw a neighbor couple (paint) their furniture.
I went inside our home, (change), and then went back out again to ask our neighbors if they needed any help. While leaving my home, I was plagued (困扰) by thoughts of embarrassment, denial, or being received but looked down on skeptically.
, I gathered the courage to go down and ask them anyway!
Initially, the woman denied. Then, the man said, “Sure”, and he handed me a spray paint (喷漆) bottle. We got into some good conversations painting with great effort. When we finished, I briefly chatted
them before leaving.
In the end, not only I enjoy helping them, but also learned about my neighbors. On the way home, I must admit, I couldn’t help
wonder what they might be thinking about me.
is tough to do a good deed for others and not expect that they will be thinking good about you.
Today’s experience taught me some (value) lessons in my life!
(hope), these lessons will help me continue my acts of kindness in future.
