The day finally came, when I had to leave the warm home where I’d grown up. I ran to the back yard, as tears came up from my heart. Suddenly I 36 a hand rest on my shoulder. I looked up to 37 my grandfather. “It isn’t 38 , is it, Billy?” he said softly.
He gently 39 my hand in his, and then we walked, hand in hand, to the front yard, 40 a huge red rose-bush sat alone.
“What do you see here, Billy?” he asked. I looked at the flowers, not knowing 41 to say, and then answered, “I see something soft and 42 , grandpa.”
He pulled me 43 . “It isn't just the roses that are beautiful, Billy. It’s that special place in your heart that makes them so.” “Billy, I 44 these roses when my first son was born. It was my 45 of saying ‘thank you’ to God. I 46 to watch him pick roses for his mother. Then, as a young man of only 20, a terrible war robbed him of his life.” Grandpa slowly stood up. “Never say good-bye, Billy. Never 47 to the sadness and the loneliness. Instead, I want you to remember the joy and the 48 when you first said hello to a friend.”
A year later, my grandpa became very 49 .Then all members of the family
were 50 back, and I returned to the old house. When it came to my 51 , I took his hand as 52 as he had once taken mine.
“Hello, grandpa,” I 53 .His eyes slowly opened and said, “Hello, my friend.” With a brief 54 he died. Suddenly, and truly, I knew what he had 55 about never saying good-bye — about refusing to give in to sadness.

I went to a group activity, “Sensitivity Sunday” which was to make us more 36 the problem faced by disabled people. We were asked to “ 37 a disability” for several hours one Sunday. Some member 38 chose the wheel chair. Other wore sound-blocking earplugs (耳塞) or blindfolds (眼罩).

One day, when I was in high school, I saw a kid named Kyle from my class walking home from school with all his books, I thought to myself, “__26___ would anyone bring home all his books for the weekend? He must really be 27___.”As I was walking, I saw several kids running toward him. They ran at him, 28 all his books out of his arms and he fell down in the dirt, His glasses went 29 and landed in the grass.
My 30 went out to him. So, I ran over to him. 31 I handed him his glasses, he looked at me and said, “Hey, thanks!”
I helped him pick up his books, and asked him where he lived. As it 32 , he lived near me. We talked all the way home. Over the next four years, Kyle and I became best friends.
Kyle was the 33 __student of our class, one of those guys that really found themselves during high school. Therefore he had the 34 to prepare a 35 speech. On the graduation day, I could see that he was 36 .So, I patted him on the back and said, “Hey, big guy, you’ll be 37 !” He looked at me and smiled.
He cleared his throat, and began. “Graduation is a time to 38 those who helped you make it through those 39 years. Your parents, your teachers… but mostly your friends, I am here to tell all of you that being a friend to someone is the best 40 you can give him.”
I just looked at my friend with 41 as he told the story of the first day we met. He had planned to 42 himself over the weekend and was carrying his books home. “Thankfully, nothing happened. My friend 43 me from doing the unspeakable.”
Not until that moment did I realize that you should never underestimate(低估) the 44 of your actions. With one small gesture you can 45 a person’s life. For better or for worse.

I never actually __44__ to get the job. After being offered the position, I was completely __45__. I remember shaking with excitement.
Though I was absolutely thrilled with the chance, it did not come without its fair share of __46__. Through the strict rehearsal period of dancing six days a week, I found it vital to __47__ up the material fast with every last bit of concentration. It is that extreme __48__ to detail (细节) and stress on practice that set us __49__. To then follow those high-energy rehearsals __50__ a busy show schedule of up to five performances a day, I discovered a new __51__ of the words “hard work.” What I thought were my physical __52__ were pushed much further than I thought __53__. I learned to make each performance better than the last.
Today, when I look at the unbelievable company that I have the great __54__ of being a part of, not only as a member, but as a dance captain, I see a __55__ that has inspired not only generations of little girls but a splendid company that continues to develop and grow-and inspires people every day to follow their dreams.

2012 was the year of my life. My father died only six months he was diagnosed with cancer. He was always so that, for a minute after he drew his last breath, I honestly he would come back to life.

I never thought I would have to live her. The and extreme heartbreak brought me to my knees, and I in the hospital myself. I remember lying in the hospital bed, looking at the ceiling and seeing my sister’s beautiful face. I realized that night that I had a(n) . I could end my life or I could continue to .

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 36 side is as much interesting．It may be a discussion of the way to 37 in good health, or 38 about how to behave and conduct oneself in society．If I cut the front article, the opposite one is likely to 39 damage, leaving out half of it or keeping the text 40 the title．Therefore, the scissors would 41 before they start, 42 halfway done when I find out the 43 result．

Then one day I learnt that he had another car in his garage. In the afternoon he would come home 24 work, leave his taxi and go out for his 25 affairs in his other car, not in his taxi. I felt it was 26 .
I was curious to see his personal car but did not make it until I 27 to be outside one evening two weeks 28 ,when the garage door was 29 and he drove out in his “own” car: a Rolls-Royce（劳斯莱斯）!

Rolls-Royce was something he drove for a（n）34 .
We go to bed every night and 35 every morning as parents or children, not as bankers, CEOs or professors. We go for a 36 as close friends or go for a vacation as a 37 . We love life as it is.

I had a very special teacher in high school many years ago whose husband died suddenly of a heart attack. About a week after his death, she _________ some of her insight with a classroom of students. As the late afternoon sunlight came streaming in _________ the classroom windows and the class was nearly over, she moved a few things aside on the _________ of her desk and sat down there.
With a gentle look on her face, she paused and said,"Before class is over, I would like to share with all of you a thought __________ I feel is very important. Each of us is put here on earth to learn, share, love, appreciate and give of ourselves...and ______ of us knows when this fantastic experience will end. It can be taken away at any moment. Perhaps this is a(an) _________that we must make the most out of every single day."
Her eyes beginning to__________, she went on,"So I would like you all to make me a _________...from now on, on your way to school, or on your way home, find something beautiful to notice. It doesn't have to be something you see---it________ be a scent(香味)--perhaps of__________ baked bread wafting out of someone's house, or it could be the sound of the breeze slightly rustling the leaves in the trees, or the __________ the morning light catches one autumn leaf as it falls gently to the ground. Please, look for these things, and remember them.
"For, _________ it may sound silly to some people, these things are the 'stuff' of life. The little things we are put here on earth to enjoy. The things we often take for ________. We must make _______important to notice them, for at any time...it can all be taken away."
The class was completely quiet. We all picked up our books and filed out of the room _________ .That afternoon, I noticed more things on my way home from school than I had that whole semester. Every once in a while, I think of that teacher and remember what a deep _________ she made on all us, and I try to appreciate all of those things that sometimes we all __________.
Take notice of something _________you see on your lunch hour today. Go barefoot. Or walk on the beach at sunset. Stop off on the way home tonight to get a double dip ice cream cone. _______ as we get older, it is not the things we did that we often _______, but the things we didn't do.

In dealing with the many challenges that friendship will bring to you, try to see them for they are: small hurdles you need to jump or on your way through life. Nothing is so big that it is to get over, and hurt only to make us stronger. It is all part of growing up, it to everyone, and some day you will all of this and say, "Hard as it was, it made me who I am today. And that is a good thing."
