Suddenly, I heard a 3 open and slam shut at the back of the church. Quick 4 hurried along the floor. A young man looked around in a 5 and then sat next to me. His eyes were full of tears.
“I’m 6 ,” he explained, though no explanation was 7 . After several eulogies (悼文), he leaned over and commented, “Why do they keep 8 Mary by the name of ‘Margaret’?” “Because that was her name, Margaret. Never Mary,” I 9 . “No, that isn’t correct,” he insisted. “Her name is Mary, Mary Peters.” “That isn’t 10 this is,” I replied. “Isn’t this the Lutheran church?” “No, the Lutheran church is across the street. I believe you’re at the 11 funeral, sir.”
The solemnness (庄严) of the occasion 12 with the realization of the man’s mistake bubbled (充溢) up inside me and came out as 13 . I peeked at the misguided man seated beside me. He was laughing, 14 . I imagined Mother laughing. At the 15 “Aman”, we darted(猛冲) out a door and into the parking lot.
“I do believe we’ll be the 16 of the town,” he smiled. He said his name was Rick and that 17 he had missed his aunt’s funeral, he asked me out for a cup of coffee. That afternoon began a lifelong 18 for me with this man who attended the wrong funeral. A year after our meeting, we were 19 at a country church.

One day, an expert in time-management was speaking to a group of business students. To make the point 1 , he used an illustration.
As he stood in front of the group, he said, “Okay, time for a quiz.” He then pulled out a wide-mouth jar and set it on the table. Then he 2 placed about a dozen fist-sized rocks, one by one, into the jar.
When the jar was filled to the 3 and no more rocks would fit inside, he asked, “Is this jar 4 ?” Everyone in the class said, “Yes.”
“Really?” Then he 5 under the table and pulled out a bucket of gravel（沙砾，石子），dumped some in and 6 the jar, causing pieces of gravel to work themselves down into the space 7 the big rocks. Then he asked the group the same question. “Probably not.” One of them answered. “Good!” he replied.
He reached under the table and 8 a bucket of sand. He started dumping the sand in the jar and it went into all the 9 left between the rocks and the gravel. 10 he asked the question. “No!” the class shouted. “Good!” Then he grabbed a can of water and began to pour it in 11 the jar was filled to the brim.
Then the expert in time-management looked at the class and asked, “What is the 12 of this illustration?” It is such a seemingly easy question that one 13 student raised his hand and said, “It is, however full your schedule is, if you try really hard you can always 14 some more things in it.”
“No,” the speaker replied, “The truth it teaches us is that you will 15 get them in at all if you don’t put the big rocks in first. 16 the big rocks in your life are, do things that you love and 17 for yourself. In your schedule if you value the little stuff then you’ll fill your life with 18 things and you will never have the real quality time you need to spend on the big, important stuff. So, tonight, or in the morning, when you are 19 on this short story, ask yourself what are the ‘big rocks’ in your life? Then put those in your 20 first.”

For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D． Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context．
Sometimes people come into your life and you know right away that they were meant to be there, to serve some sort of 1 , teach you a lesson, or to help you figure out who you are or who you want to become．You 2 know who these people maybe （possibly your roommate, neighbor, co-worker, long lost friend, lover, or even a complete stranger）, but when you lock eyes with them, you know at that very moment they will affect your life in some 3 way．
And sometimes things happen to you that may seem horrible, painful． and unfair at first, but __4__you find that without overcoming those obstacles you would have never realized your potential, strength, willpower, or heart．
Everything happens for a reason．Nothing happens5 or by means of good luck． Illness, injury, love, lost moments of true greatness and sheer stupidity all occur to test the limits of your soul．6 these small tests whatever they may be, life would be like a smoothly paved, straight, flat road to nowhere． It would be safe and comfortable, but dull and utterly 7 ．The people you meet who affect your life, and the success and downfalls you experience, help to create who you are and who you become．
Even the 8 experiences can be learned from． In fact, they are probably the most poignant and important ones．If someone hurts you, 9 you, or breaks your heart, forgive them, for they have helped you learn about trust and the importance of being cautious when you open your heart． If someone loves you, love them back 10 , not only because they love you, but because in a way, they are teaching you to love and how to open your 11 and eyes to things．
Make every day count． 12 every moment and take from those moments everything that you possibly can for you may never be able to experience it again． Talk to people that you have never talked to before, and actually listen．Let yourself fall in love, break free, and set your sightshigh．Hold your head up because you have 13 right to．Tell yourself you are a great individual and believe in yourself, for if you don’t believe in yourself, it will be hard for others to believe in you． You can make of your life anything you wish． Create your own life and then go out and live it with absolutely no 14 ．
Most importantly, if you LOVE someone, tell him or her, for you never know what tomorrow may have 15 ． And learn a lesson in life each day that you live．
That’s the story of life．

Children find meanings in their old family tales．
When Stephen Guyer’s three children were growing up, he told them stories about how his grandfather, a banker, 1 all in the 1930s, but did not lose sight of what he valued most. In one of the darkest times 2 his strong-minded grandfather was nearly 3 , he loaded his family into the car and 4 them to see family members in Canada with a 5 , “there are more important things in life than money”.
The 6 took on a new meaning recently when Mr. Guyer downsized to 7 house from a more expensive and comfortable one. He was 8 that his children, a daughter, 15, and twins, 22, would be upset．To his surprise, they weren’t. 9 , their reaction echoed (共鸣) their great-grandfather’s．What they 10 was how warm the people were in the house and how 11 of their heart was accessible.
Many parents are finding that family stories have surprising power to help children
12 hard times. Storytelling experts say the phenomenon reflects a growing 13 in telling tales, evidenced by a rise in storytelling events and festivals.
A university 14 of 65 families with children aged from 14 to 16 found kids’ ability to 15 parents’ stories was linked to a lower rate of anger and anxiety.
The 16 is telling the stories in a way children can 17 . We’re not talking here about the kind of story that 18 , “ When I was a kid, I walked to school every day uphill both ways, barefoot in the snow.” Instead, we should choose a story suited to the child’s 19 , and make eye contact (接触) to create “a personal experience”. We don’t have to tell children 20 they should take from the story and what the moral is.

Have you ever tried to draw a straight line, only to find it turns out all wrong? Or, wanted to show 1 at a party but the song you’d practised so many times suddenly 2 more difficult?
I’ve had both these 3 . As a Senior 3 student, I have to 4 many exams. Each time, I enter one, thinking “I 5 fail this time.”
But don’t be surprised --- it’s not 6 we don’t try, or don’t do enough preparation, 7 don’t take it seriously. On the contrary, it is because we put ourselves under too much 8 . It is thinking: “I must…” that makes us taste the terrible flavor of 9 ．

Sometimes we need to remind ourselves that thankfulness is indeed a virtue.

Thanksgiving Day was near. The first grade teacher gave her class a fun __36__ to draw a picture of something for which they were thankful.
Most of the class might be considered economically __37__, but still many would __38__ the holidays with turkeys and other traditional goodies of the season. These, the teacher thought, would be the __39__ of most of her students’ art. And they were.

As she walked round the large shop, Edith realized how difficult it was to choose a suitable Christmas 1 for her father.
She wished that he were as easy to 2 as her mother, who was always 3 with perfume (香水). Besides, shoping at this time of the year was a most 4 job. People 5 on your feet, pushed you with their shoulders and almost 6 you over in their hurry in order to find something cheap ahead of you.

She moved on slowly and then, quite by chance, 9 where a small crowd of men had gathered round a counter. She found some fine pipes on sale and the shapes were very beautiful. Edith did not hesitate for long, although her father 10 smoked a pipe once in a while, she believed this was 11 to please him.
When she got home, with her small but 12 present hidden in her handbag, it was time for supper and her parents were already at table. Her mother was in great 13 . "Your father has at last decided to stop smoking," she told her daughter happily. Edith was so 14 that she could not 15 a single word.

Five years ago, when it was time for my cousin to start college, my 75-year-old grandfather, Rex, decided to do the same. He went to 1 , taking classes twice a week until his death last summer.
As a student, my grandfather spent countless hours in his office 2 and completing assignments. Although he was twice as 3 as his professors, he loved going. He said,“You can never 4 too much, no matter how old you are.”He loved everything about school. Learning new things was truly his passion.
My grandfather’s will to learn was a great 5 for me to do my best in school. We were always 6 with each other, trying to bring home the better grade.
When he turned 80 and still had a full head of hair, my grandfather felt like he could take on the 7 . He felt like he could beat the unstoppable no matter what came in his way---whether it was his continuing with cancer 8 a tough professor.
