Dear Seth,

Be thankful. You are at a wonderful _______ of life. You still have many wonderful stages of life, but they are not without costs and ________. I hope to help you along your path by sharing some of the best of ________ I’ve learned. As with any advice, take it with a grain of ________. What works for me _____ not work for you.
Life can be cruel. There will be people in your life ______ won’t be very nice. They’ll laugh at you because you’re different, or for no good ________. They might try to bully you ________ hurt you.
There’s not much you can do about these people except ________ to deal with them, and learn to choose friends who are kind to you, who _________ care about you and who make you feel good about yourself. When you find friends like this,________ them, treasure them, spend time with them, be kind to them and love them.
There will be _______ when you meet with disappointment instead of success. Life won’t always ________ the way you want. This is just another thing you’ll have to learn to deal with.

Learn to turn negatives into positives, and you will do much better in _______. You will also face heartbreak and abandonment by those you love.

When all the seats were taken, the driver started the engine. The conductor began to collect fares(车费). When she came to an old man in worn-out clothes, he that he had spent all his money when he had accidentally got on a wrong bus and now he was trying to go home.

The woman was watching the incident. the driver and the conductor raised their voices at the old man, she interfered(干预).

Yesterday I was invited to attend a party that helps children badly injured in the big earthquake in May. I went because I .
At the party, all the children were given in bright, beautiful colors. After a short time, as I , I saw blue clouds, orange sunrises and purple flowers. The pictures were all bright.
The boy sitting next to me was painting a heart, but it was dark and lifeless. It didn’t have bright colors that his fellow had used.
I thought maybe he took the only paint that was left and it just happened to be dark. But when I asked him about it, he said his was that color. I asked him why and he told me that he was sick. He looked into my eyes and said, “There is nothing anyone can do that will help.”
I certainly understood why he was sad. I said, “It isn’t that there is nothing anyone can do to help. Other people may not be able to make you better but we can do things, like giving bear hugs, which will help when you are feeling sad.” I also told him that I’d be happy to give him one so that he could see what I meant. He immediately gave me a huge hug and I thought my own heart would be with love for this sweet boy.
As the day was coming to an end, I was getting ready to home. I turned around and found that standing there with a smile on his face was the little boy. He said, “My heart is colors. It is getting brighter. Those hugs really do .” On my way home I felt my own heart had changed to a brighter color, too.
