A snake handler who cheated death after being badly bitten by a snake is now teaching Australians how to 36 in the case．Neville-Burns has been bitten twelve times during his long work with snakes, and uses all his 37 to give lectures to people at risk of meeting a snake 38 .
Australia is home to most of the world's most deadly snakes．So Neville 39 the people how to deal with such close unexpected meetings．．He sets up an enclosed area, and one by one, brings out four snakes so people can know the 40 of each snake．First out of the bag is a Red Black Snake．He 41 put his finger on it．That's 42 the entire forefinger on his right hand was 43 after he was bitten．But that wasn't his 44 experience．-When he was 18? a Brown Snake he had been holding by the tail 45 and bit him in the face．He was rushed to 46 and he was saved from death．
He says a Cobra Snake is perhaps very 47 but not the most venomous（有毒的）． A black Manba Snake, one of the most 48 , is the longest venomous snake in the world．A Brown Snake is the final 49 at Neville's show．It is one of the most common snakes in Australia, and is the second most venomous in the world．Several times during the 50 it bits the bag; which Neville 51 in front of it．
Neville's advice is to stay 52 if a snake is nearby, as most will only 53 if they feel threatened．He tells people to be 54 but not to pick one 'up by the tail．He then does exactly that as part of his show．He also says he 55 believes in the old saying "once bitten, twice shy"．

Dad taught me a lot about life, especially its hard times. I remembered one of his ___21___ one night when I was ready to ___22___ a political campaign I was losing, and wrote about it in my diary.
Tired, feeling the months of ___23___ in vain, I went up to my study to make some notes. I was looking for a pencil in the back of my desk drawer ___24___ I turned up one of Dad’s old business cards that he was proud of: Andrea Cuomo Italian-American Groceries --- Fine Imported Products. Then I thought about how he ___25___ with difficult situations. A lot of pictures ___26___ into my mind, but one scene came sharply into ___27___.
We had just moved to Holliswood, New York. We had our own house for the first time; it had some land around it, even trees. One, ___28___, was a great blue spruce (云杉) that must have been 40 feet tall.
Less than a week after we moved in, there was a terrible storm. We came home from the store that night to find the spruce pulled almost ___29___ from the ground and thrown onto the street. When my brother Frankie and I saw the spruce, our hearts ___30___. But not Dad’s.

Dad ___39___ the stakes (桩) in the ground, tied the rope from the trunk to the stakes, and said, “ Don’t worry. He’s going to grow again…”
I looked at the card and wanted to cry. I ___40 ___ wait to get back into the campaign.

Not too long after I had begun to drive as a teenager, someone pulled out of a parking lot onto the road in front of m
e. I reacted 36 and pulled up very close behind her--- just to show my irritation(怒气) and let her know she didn't "just 37 with that!" We've all been there with 38 incidents and reactions. My mother was with me, and told me to turn into the 39 parking lot. Safely there, she asked me why I 40 that lady had pulled out in front of me purposely. 41 rude, power play--- I guessed. Mom said that maybe she had just had some bad 42 , maybe she was late picking up her child and was distracted(分心). Think of all the 43 of why someone does something like that. It's usually not on purpose--- but what I do as a reaction is on purpose. She always said that I 44 to think about the other side before I 45 . Usually the reaction causes more of a 46 .
I am in my fifties now, and to this day, that has always 47 my head whenever those 
48 happen. I've 49 my children the same thing. We often see and hear about "road rage." No matter to what 50 that "rage" is taken, my children will say something like, "They need Grandma's words!" As adults, I don't see them react as most of us do 51 their first reaction is always anger and irritation --- they 52 it and 53 what the other person's pro
blem might be. Even if the other driver really might be 54 or doing a "power play," no more 55 reactions will occur because of their irritation.

For Senior 3 students, choosing which college to attend can be the most exciting and thrilling time in their entire school lives. This is also true for an American girl 26 Melanie.
Melanie’s dad, James Porter, who is the chief of police for a Chicago suburb, wants Melanie to 27 nearby Northwestern University, where she’s 28 been accepted. But Melanie, 17, really wants to go to Georgetown University in Washington, D.C, where she’s been wait-listed.
When she gets an unexpected 29 from Georgetown University, she decides to 30 a road trip with a few 31 female friends. Melanie believes it is her first step 32 adulthood. But 33 the fact that this trip is “girls only”, James isn’t 34 with the prospect(期望) of his little princess 35 the world without him. He wants to protect her, so he joins the girls and hopes he can convince Melanie to go to Northwestern. 36 Melanie’s father only has the best of 37 , his presence 38 an endless series of comic encounters（遭遇）.
After following their faulty device 39 into the backwoods (偏远地区), James and Melanie 40 Melanie’s little brother and his pet pig have been hiding in the spare compartment (隔间). What should be a simple tyre change 41 the expensive car rolling down a mountain, forcing them to hike to a nearby hotel….

There was once a group of young people searching everywhere for happiness but what they got was only annoyance, grief and misery.
So they Socrates for advice on where happiness . But giving any answers, Socrates asked them to help with building a first. The group of guys had to the task, laying aside their own business of seeking happiness. It took them a long time to cut down a tall tree, gouging out (挖空) the center. Through painstaking effort, they made a canoe out of the tree. They launched the canoe into a river, and then together in it, singing with .
Socrates asked, “My children, do you have happiness now?” They answered in chorus: “We be happier!” Socrates , “That’s it! you are too busy pursuing something to notice anything bitter, happiness will occur.”
From the story I got to know that happiness hides behind every tiny thing that you are involved in, and that you may only get pleasure through work and creativity.
We may have to pain in our daily life and in the process of happiness. Sometimes we tend to look for happiness in things, like a new car, clothes, etc. True long term happiness, however, comes from within our and spirit. So why not turn suffering into life, and tears into the light in your heart? Only in this way can we make it through and find true happiness.
So my dear friends, just remember happiness is a state of mind and a matter of , and I you all a life of happiness.

Another person’s enthusiasm was what set me moving toward the success I have achieved. That person was my stepmother.
I was nine years old when she entered our home in rural Virginia. My father 21 me to her with these words: “I would like you to meet the fellow who is 22 for being the worst boy in this county and will probably start throwing rocks at you no 23 than tomorrow morning.”
My stepmother walked over to me, raised my head slightly 24 , and looked me right in the eye. Then she looked at my father and 25 , “You are wrong. This is not the worst boy at all, 26 the smartest one who hasn’t yet found an outlet（释放的途径）for his enthusiasm.”
That statement 
began a(n) 27 between us. No one had ever called me smart. My family and neighbors had built me up in my 28 as a bad boy. My stepmother changed all that.
She changed many things. She 29 my father to go to a dental school, from which he graduated with honors. She moved our family into the county seat, where my father’s career could be more 30 and my brothers and I could be better educated.
When I turned fourteen, she bought me a secondhand 31 and told me that she believed that I could become a writer. I knew her enthusiasm, I 32 it, and I saw how it had already improved our lives. I 
accepted her 33 and began to write for local newspapers. I was doing the same kind of 34 that great day I went to interview Andrew Carnegie and received the task which became my life’s work later. I wasn’t the 35 beneficiary (受益者). My father became the 36 man in town. My brothers and stepbrothers became a physician, a dentist, a lawyer, and a college president.
What power 37 has! When that power is released to support the certainty of one’s purpose and is 38 strengthened by faith, it becomes an irresistible（不可抗拒的）force which poverty and temporary defeat can never 39 .
You can communicate that power to 40 who needs it. This is probably the greatest work you can do with your enthusiasm.

School was over and I felt quite tired. I sat at the very 21 of the crowded bus because of my anxiety to get home. Sitting there makes me 22 out like a shiny coin in a pile of dull pennies.
Janie, the 23_ , tries to break the uncomfortable atmosphere by striking the match of _ 24 .
I tried to mind my manners and 25 listen, but usually I am too busy thinking about my day. On this day, 26 , her conversation was worth listening to.
“My father’s sick,” she said to no one in 27 , 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 28 the tears, she answered, “Heart trouble.” Her eyes 29 as she continued. “I have already lost my mum, so I don’t think I can stand l
osing him.”
I was 30 . My heart ached for her. And this reminded me of the great 31 that my own mother was thrown into when her father died. I saw how hard it was, and 32 is, for her. I wouldn’t like anyone to 33 that.
Suddenly I realized Janie wasn’t only a bus driver. That was 34 her job. She had a whole world of 35 and concerns, too. I suddenly felt very __36____. I realized I had only thought of people as far as what their purposes were in my life. I paid no attention to Janie 37 she was a bus driver. I had 38 her by her job and brushed her off as unimportant.
For all I know, I’m 
just another person in 39 else’s world, and may not be 40 . I should not have been so selfish and self-centered. Everyone has places to go, people to see and appointment to keep. Understanding people is an art.

Coming home after working out for a whole day I had my purse lost．I it had slipped out my backpack as I was being ．While it was probably very close to my apartment it still failed to come into and I had no but to cancel my debit cards．
I’d had the purse for more than a decade as it was a Christmas present ,which was a bright, red leather, Cheeky Monkey purse ,so probably not entirelyfor a 36-year-old but I was very upset to have lost it!

One morning I wasted nearly an hour watching a tiny ant carry a huge feather. Several times, it 31 several obstacles in its path. And after a momentary pause it would make the necessary detour (绕道). 32 one point, the ant had to cross a crack about 10mm wide. After some 33
thoughts, the ant laid the feather over the crack, walked 34 it and picked the feather up on the other side, then continued on its way. I was 35 by the cleverness of this ant. It was only a
small insect, lacking in 36 yet equipped with a brain to reason, explore, discover and overcome. 37 this ant, like the othe
r two-legged creatures 38 on the earth, also shares human failings.
After some time the ant 39 reached its destination—a flower bed and a small hole that was the entrance to its 40 home. It was there that the ant met its 41 .How could that large feather possibly 42 such a small hole? Of course, it couldn’t. So the ant, after all this 43 and using great brightness, overcoming problems all along the way, just gave up the 44 and went home. The ant had not thought the problem through 45 it began its journey and in the end the feather was 46 more than a burden. Isn’t our 47 like that?
We worry about our families; we worry about the 48 of money; and we worry about all kinds of things. These are all burdens—the things we pick up along life’s path, and drag them around the obstacles and over the cracks that life will bring, only to 49 that at the destination they are
50 and we can’t take them with us.

When William, a 10-year-old boy planned to learn the piano, the music teacher was reluctant （不愿意）to accept him. She 31 her students to start their music lessons at a young age when their 32 were able to move quickly and easily.
“William, why do you want to learn the piano?” the teacher asked.
“I want to play for my mother.”
She noticed the 33 in his eyes as he answered her. She had no heart to 34 and accepted William as her student. But at each music lesson, William appeared to be in a hurry and played 35 “My mother is waiting outside for me,” he would tell the teacher. She was tempted to advise William not to 36 his time with lessons anymore as he 37 hit the right notes. 38 there was something about William — - she was fascinated with the tender look in his eyes 39 he mentioned “Mother”.
Suddenly, William stopped coming for his lessons. At the end of the semester year, the music teacher decided to 40 a piano recital (独奏会) for her students and she asked them to participate.
She was 41 to find William’s application to contribute a musical piece. She would place him last in the recital 42 he made mistakes.
The day came and William appeared. 43 it was his turn to play, William bowed before the audience and said he was thankful for the music teacher’s 44 with him. “Tonight I am dedicating (献)my music to my mother.” he said.
Everyone later asked why William did not bring his mother as she would 45 be proud. William replied, “My mother was 46 and she could never 47 me play during her life time. 48 she sacrificed her time and money to let me learn the piano. This morning Mother passed away. I am sure she is now 49 as she can hear my piano recital. I chose a piece of piano music by Beethoven. As you all know, Beethoven was deaf by the end of his career. But music always symbolized his 50 for freedom and I would like to dedicate it to Mother.”

I remember the exact moment I learned the principle of preparing for luck.
I was on the wrestling team. Now, if there’s one thing I can tell you about any sport, it is that wrestling is probably the sport that has the least 31 .There are only two people out on the mat, so you cannot 32 it on your teammates or your coach. And guess what? There is no 33 because we do the whole thing indoors, so you can’t say, “It was raining” or “It was snowing.” It makes 34 to say wrestling is the sport with the least luck.
On our team were two world champions; one of them had been a world champion five times. We 35 had five people who were national champions. One of them was a guy 36 the name of John.
John had never been 37 in any high school wrestling competition that I could remember, 38 he was a national champion. There was nobody locally who could touch him.
One day, we 39 a match with our biggest opponent(对手). John went out on the mat, and about a minute and 30 seconds into the match he tried to make a particular 40 He rolled over, and his opponent 41 him halfway through his roll. He waspinned(压住) 42 !
The match was over.
I remember on the way home, one of our teammates tried to 43 John by saying, “Oh, he just got lucky.” John said, “That’s so stupid. The 44 presented itself, and he just took advantage of it.”
We used to have this big 45 in our wrestling room that the coach had put there: “Luck is what happens when opportunity meets 46 .”
John’s opponent was prepared to make use of this opportunity. The possibility of beating John was not 47 and he knew it. But he waited for the 48 opportunity to present itself, and he defeated and pinned a five-time national champion.
In other words, the real 49 is “Be prepared!” It’s not just finding the opportunity; you have to be prepared to 50 it.

Life is filled with challenges. As we get older we realize that those challenges are the very things that us and make us who we are. It is the same with the challenges that come with .
When we are faced with a challenge, we usually have two . We can try to beat it off, or we can decide that the thing the challenge isn't worth the and call it quits. Although there are certainly when calling it quits is the right thing to do, in most all that is needed is and communication.
When we are committed to something, it means that no matter how or how uncomfortable something is, we will always choose to it and work it through instead of running away from it. Communication is making a for discussion and talking about how you feel as opposed to just saying what the other person did wrong. you can say to a friend, "I got my feeling hurt," "You hurt my feelings," you are going to be able to solve the problem much faster.
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."

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.
