On our way home we came across a bunch of checks belonging to a woman named Stacey. The checks totaled about $3000! , there were 3 $100 bills. We thought that it would be funny if we brought the checks to the __ and simply deposited(储蓄) it for the woman without __ anything. Although __ the money was a good thing to do, I made the suggestion that we should that she do something good in . So after some discussion, we got to Stacey’s bank, saying that “Hey, listen, at some point during the day a named Stacey is going to come here about losing her checks and some . Tell her that her checks were found and the person that found them wanted her to read this ."
“Stacey. Hello, I found your checks and it to the bank. I don’t know if you take the train in the morning or if you live here, but there is a man that sits outside the train station every morning, and I am sure that if you would like to along the good deed, he would love a coffee and bagel(过水面包圈) tomorrow morning. Have a great day!”
I am to say that the next morning when we got off the train, the homeless man was there and he had a big cup of and a bagel.

“So teach him to close the door”, my daughter Emma responded after listening to me 36 , again, about the dog coming in from the back door, bringing with him a blast of Buffalo January 37 air.
Teach a dog to close a door behind him? That has got to be a really, really 38 thing to do．But then she took a step 39 . “Come on, Kolby”, she said, grabbing some treats（犒劳物） and 40 him in front of the open door. “Touch.” And “touch” he did, which moved the door to a 41 position. She 42 him with a treat, smiled, looked at me, and said “see!” And I saw and became 43 . Over the last few days I have been with Kolby. Each time he comes in I bring him back to the 44 door and ask him to close. There have been 45 in the beginning, but lately more and more successes.
However, there remains much work to be done. I have to get him to follow my hand signal again and again 46 he will close the door from a distance. But, I now realize, 47 you keep to the focus, the 48 will be completed.
What a 49 treat to have a dog that can close the door after himself! Even more wonder can be found in the 50 I learned so clearly from both Emma and Kolby.
A wish is just a wish until you decide to take 51 . Once you 52 the belief that it is “too hard”, then it remains “too hard ” and out of 53 . Once you want to accomplish a goal, and 54 that it is “easy”, then it becomes “easy” to do what needs 
to be done．Just 55 doing it.

We often talk about ourselves as if we have permanent genetic defects （缺陷） that can never be changed. “I’m impatient.” “I’m always behind.” “I always put things 36 !” You’ve surely heard them. Maybe you’ve used them to describe 37 .
These comments may come from stories about us that have been 38 for years—often from 39 childhood. These stories may have no 40 in fact. But they can set low expectations for us. As a child, my mother said to me, “Marshall, you have no mechanical （操作机械的） skills, and you will never have any mechanical ski
lls for the rest of your life.” How did these expectations 41 my development? I was never 42 to work on cars or be around 43 . When I was 18, I took the US Army’s Mechanical Aptitude Test. My scores were in the bottom for the entire nation!
Six years later, 44 , I was at California University, working on my doctor’s degree. One of my professors, Dr. Bob Tannbaum, asked me to write down things I did well and things I couldn’t do. On the positive side, I 45 down, “research, writing, analysis, and speaking.” On the 46 side, I wrote, “I have no mechanical skills.”
Bob asked me how I knew I had no mechanical skills. I explained my life 47 and told him about my 48 performance on the Army test. Bob then asked, “ 49 is it that you can solve 50 mathematical problems, but you can’t solve simple mechanical problems?”
Suddenly I realized that I didn’t 51 from some sort of genetic defect. I was just living out expectations that I had chosen to 52 . At that point, it wasn’t just my family and friends who had been 53 my belief that I was mechanically hopeless. And it wasn’t just the Army test, either. I was the one who kept telling myself, “You can’t do this!” I realized that as long as I kept saying that, it was going to remain true. 54 , if we don’t treat ourselves as if we have incurable genetic defects, we can do well in almost 55 we choose.

Born in America, I spoke English, not Chinese, the language of my ancestors. When I was three, my parents flashed cards with Chinese __21__ at my face, but I pushed them __22__. My mom believed I would learn __23__ I was ready. But the __24__ never came.
On a Chinese New Year’s Eve, my uncle spoke to me in Chinese, but all I could do was __25__ at him, confused, scratching my head. “Still can’t speak Chinese?” He __26__ me, “You can’t even buy a fish in Chinatown.”
“Hey, this is America, not China. I’ll get some __27__ with or without Chinese.” I replied and turned to my mom for __28__.
“Remember to ask for fresh fish, Xin Xian Yu,” she said, handing over a $20 bill. I __29__ the words, running down straight into the streets of Chinatown.
I found the fish __30__ surrounded in a sea of customers. “I’d like to buy some fresh fish,” I shouted to the fishman. But he __31__ my English words and turned to serve the next customer. The laugh of the people behind increased __32__ their impatience. With every __33__, the breath of the dragons on my back grew stronger－my blood boiling－ __34__ me to cry out, “Xian Sheng Yu, please.” “Very Xian Sheng,” I repeated. The crowd erupted into laughter. My face turned __35__ and I ran back home __36__, except for the $20 bill I held tightly in my pocket.
Should I laugh or cry? They’re Chinese. I’m Chinese. I should feel right at __37__. Instead, I was the joke, a disgrace to the language.
Sometimes, I laugh at my fish __38__, but, in the end, the joke is on __39__. Every laugh is a culture __40__; every laugh is my heritage fading away. .

My friend , Sally , had a failed marriage in the past . After divorce , her parents gave the deepest protection and care to her by helping her 36 the child and offering 37 aid . Her parents’ 38 made her pull herself together and 39 the man who had hurt her before .
Nonetheless , her father , an honest and upright old man , after hearing his ex-son-in-law got 40 in his company , felt extremely 41 and went to his company to 42 his boss why such a playboy could get promoted . The whole office fell into a 43 immediately and many staff just looked 44 . The old man stood silently in the office with his bands 45 and eyes tearing .
That night , Sally cried heavily in front of me . I asked her whether it was her father’s 46 deeds that made her feel embarrassed . But she said that she felt 47 about her dad and that though the rest of the whole world betrayed her , her old father would still 48 her up and help her get the 49 she deserved , just as when she was young and the neighboring boy grabbed her ball , her father would get it back for her . 50 , this changed world was no longer the stage for her old father and his deeds became funnily out-of-date . No one managed to see the real and ever-lasting love to his daughter behind his 51 rude behaviors .
Although we have grown up , our parents still would not like us to 52 a bit and try all means to 53 us without caring whether what they do is awkward and stupid or not .
Who in the world would love us so deeply and relentlessly without asking for any 54 ? Only our 55 !
