At my heaviest I weighed 370 pounds. I had a very poor relationship with food: I used it to
16 bad feelings, to make myself feel better, and to celebrate. Worried about my health, I tried many different kinds of 17 but nothing worked. I came to believe that I could do nothing about my 18 .
When I was 50, my weight problem began to affect me 19 . I didn't want to live the rest of my life with this 20 weight any more.
That year, I 21 a seminar where we were asked to create a project that would touch the world. A seminar leader shared her 22 story -she had not only 125 pounds, but also raised ＄25,000 for homeless children.
23 by her story, I created the As We Heal(痊愈), the World Heals 24 . My goal was to lose 150 pounds in one year and raise ＄50,000 25 a movement founded 30 years ago to end hunger. This combination of healing myself and healing the world 26 me as the perfect solution.
27 I began my own personal weight program, I was filled with the fear that I would
28 the same difficulties that beat me before. While the 29 hung over my head, there were also signs that I was headed down the right 30 . I sent letters to everyone I knew, telling them about my project. It worked perfectly. Donations began 31 in from hundreds of people.
Of course, I also took some practical steps to lose weight. I consulted with a physician（内科医生）, I hired a fitness coach, and I began to eat small and 32 meals. My fund-raising focus also gave me new motivation to exercise 33 .
A year later, I 34 my goal: I lost 150 pounds and raised ＄50,000! I feel that I've been given a second life to devote to something that is 35 and enormous.

Tears clouded my eyes as I stood in our washing room, holding Brett’s jeans and full of burn holes.
Tired and defeated, I 31 to the floor. The clothes were just one more thing Brett had 32 . He often got almost everything in the house out of 33 . Many windows in our house needed repair due to his breaking 34 to steal money when he chose to live on the street. Yet none of this could compare to the emotional 35 Brett had done to our once quiet home.
Brett came to live with us when he was 12 years old. During the next few years I had dealt with Brett a 36 as possible, but inside I was shouting. “I don’t want him in my house another day, Lord! I just can’t 37 him!” Having wiped my tears, I continued 38 him as before.
When Brett was nearly 18, he landed again in Juvenile Hall(少管所). After that, my husband and I had to send Brett to a boarding school for helping 39 teens.
At the 40 ceremony, each graduate held a white rose to give to the person who had 41 the most to him or her. Brett spoke 42 to his parents and then spoke to me, “You did so much. You were always there, no matter 43 . My mom and dad, I was their kid. But you, 44 troubled enough by me, always 45 me such love. And I want you to know I love you for it.”
46 , I stood as Brett placed the white rose in my hand and hugged me 47 .
At that moment, tears 48 in my eyes again, this time not for disappointment but for 49 . Although I had struggled with silent 50 toward my stepson, Brett had seen only my actions. Love is action. We may not always have positive feelings about certain people in our lives, but we can love them.

One morning all the employees reached the office as usual. And on the wall they saw a big 36 on which it was written：Yesterday, the person who has been 37 your growth in this company passed 38 . We invite you to join the funeral (葬礼) prepared in the 39 .
In the beginning，they all got 40 for the death of one of their colleagues. 41 after a while they started getting 42 to know who was the man that limited the growth of his colleagues and the company itself.
The 43 in the gym was such that security agents(保安)were 44 to control the crowd within the room. The more people reached the coffin(棺材), the more the excitement 45 up. Everyone whispered to each other:“ 46 on earth is this guy?”
One by one the excited employees got closer to the coffin, and when they 47 inside it, they 48 became speechless. They stood nearby the coffin, shocked and in 49 , as if someone had 50 the deepest part of their soul.
There was a 51 inside the coffin；everyone who looked inside it could see himself, There was also a sign next to the mirror that 52 : there is only one person who is 53 to set limits to your growth：IT IS 54 !!!!!! Your life doesn’t change when everyone around you changes. Your life changes when YOU change，when you go beyond your limiting beliefs inside. Don’t be afraid of 55 ；build yourself and your reality. It’s the way you face life itself that makes the difference!

Scott and his companions were terribly disappointed. When they got to the South Pole, they found the Norwegianshad 16 them in the race to be the first ever to reach it. After 17 the British flag at the Pole, they took a photograph of themselves 18 they started the 950-mile journey back.
The journey was unexpectedly 19 and the joy and excitement about the Pole had gone out of them. The sun hardly 20 . The snow storms always made it impossible to sight the stones they had 21 to mark their way home. To make things 22 , Evans, whom they had all thought of 23 the strongest of the five, fell badly into a deep hole in the ice. Having 24 along for several days, he suddenly fell down and died.

Captain Oates had been suffering for some time from his 27 feet; at night his feet swelled（肿胀） so large that he could 28 put his boots on the next morning, and he walked bravely although he was in great 29 . He knew his slowness was making it less likely that 30 could save themselves. He asked them to leave him behind in his sleeping-bag, but they refused, and helped him 31 a few more miles, until it was time to put up the 32 for another night.
The following morning, 33 the other three were still in their sleeping-bags, he said. “I am just going outside and may be 34 some time.” He was never seen again. He had walked out 35 into the snow storm, hoping that his death would help his companions.
