When I come across a good article in reading newspapers, I often want to cut and keep it. But just as I am about to do so, I find the article on the side is as much interesting. It may be a discussion of the way to in good health, or about how to behave and conduct oneself in society. If I cut the front article, the opposite one is likely to damage, leaving out half of it or keeping the text the title. Therefore, the scissors would before they start, .halfway done when I find out the result.
Sometimes two things are to be done at the same time, both worth your .You can only take up one of them, the other has to wait or be up. But you know the future is unpredictable(不可预料) — the changed situation may not allow you to do what is left . Thus you are in a difficult position and feel sad. How that nice chances and brilliant ideas should gather around all at once? It may happen that your life greatly on your preference of one choice to the other.
In fact that is what is like: we are often with the two opposite sides of a thing which are both desirable like a newspaper cutting. It often occurs that our attention is drawn to one thing only we get into another. The may be more important than the latter and give rise to a divided mind. I remember a philosopher's remarks, “When one door shuts, another opens in life.” So a casual(不经意) may not be a bad one.

When studying in a middle school，I read a quote that went something like：“If you live each day as if it were your last，someday you’ll most certainly be right. ”It made a deep 36 on me, and since then, for the past 33 years，I have 37 in the mirror every morning and asked myself：“If today were the last day of my life， 3 8 I want to do what I am about to do today?” And whenever the answer has been “No” for too many days in a 39 ，I know I need to change something.
Remembering that I’ll be 40 soon is the most important tool I’ve ever known to help me make the big 41 in life because almost everything falls away in the face of death， 42 only what is truly important.
About a year ago I was 43 with cancer. My doctor even advised me to go home and get my affairs 44 order，which is a doctor’s way of telling people to prepare to die. I 45 with that diagnosis all day. 46 ，at last an advanced test showed that it was a very rare cancer that is 47 with surgery. I had the surgery and I’m fine now.
48 wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don’t want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all 49 . No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be，because death is very likely the single best invention of 50 . It is life’s change agent. It clears out the old to 51 for the new. Right now the new is you. But someday not too 52 from now，you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. Sorry to be so dramatic，but it is quite true.
Your time is 53 ，so don’t waste it living someone else’s 1ife. Don’t be 54 by dogma(教条) —which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner 55 . And most importantly，have the courage to follow your heart.

There are many kinds of friends. Some are always 36 you, but don't understand you. Some say only a few words to you, but understand you. Many people will step in your life, but only 37 friends leave footprints.
I shall always recall (回忆) the autumn and the girl with the 38 . She will always bring back the friendship between us. I know she will always be my best friend.
It was the golden season. I could see the yellow leaves 39 on the cool 40 . In such a season, I liked walking alone in the leaves, 41 to the sound of them.
Autumn is a 42 season and life is uninteresting. The free days always get me 43 . But one day, the sound of a violin 44 into my ears like a stream (小溪) flowing in the mountains. I was so surprised that I jumped to see what it was. A young girl, standing in the wind, was 45 in playing her violin.
I had 46 seen her before. The music was so nice that I listened quietly. Lost in the music, I didn't know that I had been 47 there for so long but my existence (存在) did not seem to disturb her.
Leaves were still falling. Every day she played the violin in the corner of the building 48 I went downstairs to watch her performance. I was the only listener. The autumn seemed no longer lonely and life became 49 . 50 we didn't know each other, I thought we were already good friends. I believe she also loved me.
Autumn was nearly over. One day, when I was listening carefully, the sound suddenly
51 . To my astonishment (惊讶), the girl came over to me.
“You must like violin.” she said.
“Yes. And you play very well. Why did you stop?” I asked.
Suddenly, a 52 expression appeared on her face and I could feel something unusual.
“I came here to see my grandmother, but now I must leave. I once played very badly. It was your listening every day that 53 me.” she said.
“In fact, it was your playing 54 gave me a meaningful autumn,” I answered, “Let's be friends.”
The girl smiled, and so did I.
I never heard her play again in my life. I no longer went downstairs to listen like before. Only thick leaves were left behind. But I will always remember the fine figure (身影) of the girl. She is like a 55 —so short, so bright, like a shooting star giving off so much light that it makes the autumn beautiful.

The day before Father's Day, Mrs. Berry asked her students to make a card for their fathers. She passed out paper and pieces of cloth. Elizabeth looked for a while at the blue cloth and began to cut it. Then she 21 her paper in half and began writing. When Elizabeth finally looked at the message the teacher gave on the paper, she noticed something else. She felt her 22 grow hot -- she hadn't heard that anyone who didn't have a father could make one for a grandfather or an uncle. As her teacher walked to her, Elizabeth tried 23 her card with her arm, but Mrs. Berry gently 24 it so that she could read it.

"My Father's Day card. I know you're upset because I didn't do it 32 ."
"Elizabeth, that was the 33 card in the whole class. It was so 34 that it made me cry."
Elizabeth was so 35 that she ran out of the classroom. When her mom came home from work that night, Elizabeth 36 to give her the card early. On the front of the card was a 37 of Elizabeth's mom, with a blue piece of cloth cut like her hair. Inside the card she had written:
Dear Mom,
I know you work really hard to be both a mommy and a（n）38 . I want to thank you and 39 you a happy Father’s Day.
Love,
Elizabeth

Valentine’s Day may come from the ancient Roman feast of Lupercalia. 36 the fierce wolves roamed nearby, the old Romans called 37 the god Lupercus to help them. A festival in his 38 was held on February 15th. On the eve of the festival the 39 of the girls were written on 40 of paper and placed in jars. Each young man 41 a slip. The girl whose name was 42 was to be his sweetheart for the year.

School was over and I felt quite tired. I sat at the very 36 of the crowded bus because of my anxiety(焦虑) to go home. Sitting there makes me 37 like a shiny coin in a pile of dull pennies.
Janie, the 38 , tried to break the uncomfortable 39 by starting a conversation. I tried to mind my manners and politely 40 her, but usually I am too busy thinking about my day. On this day, 41 , her conversation was worth listening to.
“My father’s sick,” she said to no one in 42 , I could see the anxiety and fear in her eyes. “What’s wrong with him?” I asked. With her eyes wet and her voice tight from fighting the tears, she 43 , “Heart trouble.” Her eyes lowered as she continued. “I’ve 44 lost my mum, so I don’t think I can stand losing him.”
I was shocked. My 45 ached for her. And this reminded me of the great 46 my own mother was thrown into when her father 47 . I saw how hard it was, and still is, for her. I wouldn’t like anyone to 48 that.
Suddenly I 49 Janie wasn’t only a bus driver. That was just her job. She had a whole world of 50 and concerns, too. I suddenly felt very selfish(自私). I realized I had only thought of people as far as what their purposes were in m
y life. I paid no 51 to Janie 52 she was a bus driver. I had judged(评价) her by her 53 and brushed her off as unimportant.
For all I know, I’m just another person in 54 else’s world, and may not even be 55 . I should not have been so selfish and self-centered. Everyone has places to go to, people to see and appointment to keep. Understanding people is an art.
