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.

Recently, I experienced a wonderful lesson in how little things still mean a lot. My home is on the Big Island of Hawaii. About a month ago, when I 36 my car and was about to drive off, I
37 at the roadside. A piece of paper 38 my eye. I picked it up and read it 39 . Instantly, I was grateful that I had done that.
The form turned
out to be a receipt from the State Motor Vehicle Division, documenting the owners’ 40 of their Vehicle’s Registration fees. Quickly, I put myself in their shoes and __41 : no one would throw this away, especially 42 it was current. I also looked over the form for contact or any personal 43 , perhaps a license tag or telephone number. But that seemed __44 . The form had been blown by the wind, so 45 would I find the owners? Had it been lying there for a few minutes or a week? So I checked the date and 46 the names of the owners , who must 47 in our town. I believed that the best and easiest step to take was to put the form in a（n） 48 addressed to the couple and mail it by post. Further, I imagined that if I had posted the receipt to a wrong 49 , how frantic（慌乱的）I’d be. But it was much __50_ to attempt to return it than to leave them angry, upset , etc. over the 51 , so I did as I thought. My hunch（预感） was right. On the weekend, a happy couple 52 my house and brought me a big gift. They said they had panicked（恐慌）and 53 the receipt madly everywhere before giving up. Without it they would have to 54 another 8,000. It felt great to know I’d helped someone avoid a major trouble by doing 55 that at first glance seemed minor.

We are warned by our teachers not to waste time because time 21 will never return. I think it quite 22. What does time look 23? Nobody knows, and we can’t see it or touch it and no 24 of money can buy it. Time is abstract(抽象的), so we have to 25about it.
Time passes very quickly. Some students say they don’t have 26time to review their lessons. It is 27 they don’t know how to make use of their time. They waste it in going to theatres or playing, and 28 other useless things. Why do we study everyday? Why do we work? Why do most people 29 take buses instead of walking? The answer is very 30 .We wish to save time because time is31.
Today we are living in the 21st century. We 32 time as life. When a person dies, his life ends. Since life is short, we must 33 our time and energy to our study so that we 34 be able to work and live well in the future. Laziness is the 35 of time, for it not only brings us 36, but also does other 37 to us. If it is necessary for us to do our work today, 38 us do it today and not 39 it until tomorrow. Remember that time is much more 40.

Everyone knows that sportsmen work out to strengthen（加强） their __46_. But research shows that strengthening the mind may be just as __47__. Careful study shows that the best sportsmen win __48__ because they think they can win.
Thinking positive(乐观的) thoughts seems to give possibility for __49__ in sports. People who say to themselves over and over, “I know I can do this,” often find they have the __50__ to win. On the other hand, people who think “I can’t win” often __51__.
One procedure（步骤）that helps many sportsmen is creating __52__ in the mind. They are told to think of each __53__ they must make to win. Some use pictures that are more fanciful. One skater liked to __54__ a star bursting inside her, __55__ her with energy. Another sportsman who wanted to feel __56__ pictured himself as a __57__ floating(漂浮) in the air.
Next time you want to do something well, try training your __58__ to help you. Perhaps a teacher or other instructor can help you plan your training.

The poachers-illegal hunters-had finally found a buyer for their stolen goods. A meeting was
36 ，and when the buyer asked to see the goods，they brought out a small duffel bag and un-zipped it. Inside was a 37 one-year-old baby gorilla. The poachers had likely killed the little female`s parents and 38 her in the forests of the Democratic Republic of the Congo，in Africa. Then they took her across the border into Rwanda， 39 to sell her as a pet.
But the buyer didn`t bring 40 ；he brought the police. The Rwandan authorities 41
the young gorilla to the nearby headquarters of the Mountain Gorilla Veterinary Project. The vets (兽医) there realized that she had not been given 42 food or water，but they were much more worried about something else. "Baby gorillas simply don`t 43 without their mother`s constant body contact，" says vet Chris Whittier. If they didn`t quickly establish a 44 relationship with the baby gorilla，which her caretakers named Dunia，she 45 not survive.
Dunia needed contact，but she resisted 46 at first，shying away from people who reached for her. Three caretakers worked in shifts，taking 47 holding her，carrying her around on their backs，and cradling her while she slept. 48 she became stronger，a month after she was res-cued her 49 revealed the psychological stress she carried inside-much of her hair fell out. That was a delayed 50 to the combined traumatic experiences of losing her parents and being kept-with a poor diet-by the poachers.
After six months of loving care that included around-the-clock attention，a good diet，and a
51 home at the project`s headquarters，Dunia was looking and acting like a 52 ，happy young gorilla should. "Dunia is sort of a shy show-off，" says Whittier. "Her 53 is growing and she`s becoming more independent，but when she is 54 ，the first thing she does is run back to her 55 ，just like she would to her mother."

James shook his money box again. Nothing! He carefully 36 the coins that lay on the bed. $24.52 was all that he had. The bicycle he wanted was $90! 37 on earth was he going to get the 38 of the money? He knew that his friends all had bicycles. It was 39 to hang around with people when you were the only one without wheels. He thought about what he could do. There was no 40 to ask his parents, for he knew they had no money to 41 . There was only one way to get money, and that was to 42 it. He would have to find a job. 43 who would hire him and what could he do? He decided to ask Mr Clay for advice, who usually had _44 in most things. "Well, you can start right here," said Mr Clay. "My windows need cleaning and my car needs washing." That was the 45 of James’s odd-job (零工) business. For three months he worked every day after finishing his homework. He was surprised by the 46 jobs that people found for him to do. He took dogs and babies for walks, cleared out cupboards, and mended books. He lost count of the 47 of cars he washed and windows he cleaned, but the 48 increased and he knew that he would soon have 49 for the bicycle he was dying for. The day 50 came when James counted his money and found $94.32. He 51 no time and went down to the shop to pick up the bicycle he wanted. He rode 52 home, looking forward to showing his new bicycle to his friends. It had been hard 53 for the money, but James knew that he valued his bicycle far more 54 he had bought it with his own money. He had 55 what he thought was impossible, and that was worth even more than the bicycle.

My friend Michelle is blind, but you’d never know it. She makes such good use of her other 36 , including her “sixth sense”, that she rarely gives the impression she’s 37 anything.
Michelle looks after her children pretty much like the rest of us, 38 that she doesn’t push too hard on them, 39 really benefit a lot from her relaxed attitude. She knows when to clean the house. She moves around so fast that often 40 don’t realize she’s blind.
I 41 this the first time after my six-year-old daughter, Kayla, went to play there. When Kayla came home, she was very 42 about her day. She told me they had baked cookies, played games and done art projects. But she was 43 excited about her finger-painting project.
“Mom, guess what?” said Kayla, all smiles. "I learned how to 44 colors today! Blue and red make purple, and yellow and blue make green! And Michelle 45 with us.
To my great 46 , my child had learnt about color from a blind friend!
Then Kayla continued, “Michelle told me my 47 showed joy, pride and a sense of accomplishment. She really 48 what I was doing!” Kayla said she had never felt how good finger paints felt 49 Michelle showed her how to paint without looking at her paper.
I realized Kayla didn’t know that Michelle was blind. It had just never 50 in conversation.
When I told her, she was 51 for a moment. At first, she didn’t believe me. “But Mommy, Michelle knew exactly what was in my picture!” Kayla 52 . And I knew my child was 53 because Michelle had listened to Kayla describe her artwork. Michelle had also heard Kayla's 54 in her work,
We were silent for a minute. Then Kayla said slowly, “You know, Mommy, Michelle really did ‘see’ my picture. She just used my 55 .”
Indeed, she uses a special type of “vision” that all mothers have.
