When I walked into the house after school, the first thing I noticed was a box with items I recognized from my dad’s office.
“What are you doing at home?” I asked casually.
“Andrew, I was 31 today,” he answered quietly.
I was sure he was joking. “No, you weren’t. Why are you 32 at home?”
Then I noticed his 33 and realized he was telling me the truth. My father has always been a hard worker and prided himself on his career. 34 our family has been his joy, and I guess I have 35 his work for granted.
My father’s unemployment 36 many changes in our lives. For starters, he was at home all the time, which meant my bed had to be 37 , my room cleaned up, and my 38 done right after school. I would come home every day to find him at the computer 39 jobs. I began to notice how 40 he seemed, and how losing his job affected his self-esteem, though he tried to be 41 .

After several difficult months of searching, my dad 45 to go in a totally different direction. He 46 that he never wanted to be laid off again, so he was going to start his own business.

I got a cancer when I was 18. This was a big deal for someone to 31. I chose to fight. After treatments, I 32 from my illness. Life couldn’t have been any 33. When I became fit years later, I met a wonderful man and got married. 34, I still felt something missing and eager to find my 35.
As my 20-year anniversary (周年纪念) of being a cancer 36 approached, I wanted to do something special and 37. I organized a fundraiser, calling it “A Mission (使命) of Love” and thanks to my 38 family and friends, raised﹩4,000 for St. Jude’s, planning to 39 it myself. Three quarters of the money would be given as a (n) 40 to the hospital, and what was left would go toward buying 41 for the children. I also organized a T-shirt 42 activity for any child who felt well enough.
Thanksgiving Day seemed the most 43 day of the year for the mission, and so it was all arranged. We went to a store and 44 three shopping carts with toys. It was 45 we were celebrities (名人) when the employees and other shoppers knew what we were doing.
On Thanksgiving Day, as we got to St. Jude’s, I became 46 emotional, as my eyes were filled with tears of 47. After dropping the toys off, we arrived where six children were waiting anxiously to begin painting. To me, it was as though they weren’t sick, and to see them smile was the greatest gift I could have ever 48.
Leaving there that day, I knew I had finally found my purpose. All of us are born for a reason, but all of us don’t 49 why. Success in life has nothing to do with what you 50 in life. It’s what you do for others.

Several days ago, I met a stranger in the street who stopped and asked me directions. I 36 to show him the way to the destination（目的地），but to my 37 he coldly refused my offer. I asked him why. Finally he told me that he was 38 I would ask him for money if I 39 him in this way.
Money! I 40 deep into thought. Is it money that comes between us? Money itself has no 41 ; yet it cannot simply be 42 to be good or bad. The problem 43 what attitude we have towards it.
At present, we have a more 44 material life than before, but we’re becoming more and more 45 . Why? In my opinion, the 46 is the change in people’s personal 47 . They wrongly believe that 48 money should be their only aim in life, so they 49 all sorts of ways they can to 50 this aim.
They are afraid of being 51 and fooled. If everyone acts like this, what will our 52 be like?
Needless to say, money is becoming more and more important in our society, 53 it shouldn’t be the “be-all and end-all” of life. If a person only concentrates on 54 , he will be lonely and void(空虚).
It is up to us to make our lives happy, not money. We should try our best to help others 55 and freely. If everyone does so, our society will be better and better.

I was an introvert(内向的人) by 36 . For as long as I remember, putting on a sincere smile when meeting someone had 37 been easy. The key to a sincere smile, 38 , is simple. It’s to be 39 . But that’s the source of the problem. When meeting people, 40 being excited, I often felt upset.
But we all know 41 are important. The more friends you have, the more opportunities you get, 42 it’s job opportunities, a romantic relationship, or business partners. So a smile is important to make others feel 43 . Mother Teresa said, “Every time you smile at someone, it is an action of love, a(an) 44 to that person, a beautiful thing.”
The smile I’m now talking about is not to make a face to cashiers or waiters. I’m talking about those 45 smiles you make when meeting old friends. So I’ve discovered a 46 . And I call this technique “Oh, it’s Jamie!” When I meet someone, I imagine an old friend of mine called Jamie who was my first friend when we were 47 kids. It’s 48 why my smile is as wide as I can possibly make. And it’s not just the smile, but my tone and attitude that turn warm as well.
And the best part, whenever you’re friendly to others, they turn friendly 49 . You’re not hearing this from me. Some research done by scientists actually 50 this claim. So do remember to give it a try.
Three years ago at the age of 23, I took a long hard look at my life and decided that I was 51 . 52 of my life, I set about 53 dramatic changes and now I have become a popular writer. My 54 reflects that nothing is too difficult if you 55 bravely.
