    It was a（n） （7）　　 task． But every morning we were required to make our beds （8）　　．

It seemed a little funny， but the wisdom of this simple act has been proved to me many times over．

    If you make your bed every morning， you will have completed the （9）　　 task of the day． It will bring you a small sense of success， and it will （10）　　 you to do another task， and another and another． And by the end of the day， one task completed will have （11）　_　 into many tasks completed． Making your bed will prove the fact． If you can't do the little things right， you will （12）　　 be able to do the big things right．

    In general， if you want to change the world，（15）　　 off by making your bed． I hope all of

you will have a brighter future！

Basketball can be fun， or it can be trouble． People gather around a ball， but their reactions （反应） often go （1）　　 the object． It was a terribly hot summer day when the group of us appeared on the basketball court． Silently， we （2）　　 up and played， as always． The sun was a big " squeezer （挤压者）"， as it not only squeezed out of us sweet （汗水） and （3）　　， but also our unhappy feelings． Body contact became more and more often， and we could all （4）　　 the attacks of elbows （肘部）． After another round of game， one of the players and I fell to the ground at the same time． From his burning eyeballs． I could see a （5）　　 was almost unavoidable．

It's interesting to have a chance to teach English abroad because you see a completely different education system． I am teaching in Belgium （比利时） this year and I have realized（1）　　 there are some big differences．

    For example， in the UK， it is （2）　　 to wear a school uniform． It is nice to wear a school uniform （3）　　 you don't have to think about what to wear in the morning．You just put on your uniform and go． This （4）　　 a lot of time．

    Another difference I have noticed is also about clothing： Teachers（5）　　 in a more relaxed way in Belgium． They wear（6）　　． In my experience in the UK， teachers wear similar things to the people （7）　　 work in an office： shirts and ties for men； dresses， skirts， dark trousers and shirts for women．

    As I am working with older students who are aged（8）　　 16 to 18 ， I have also noticed that they have （9）　　 subjects than I did at their age． In the UK， students only choose four subjects （five if they have very good grades） at 16． Some people like this， because it means they do not have to study subjects they don't like．Others feel that students make such a big choice too（10）　　， because the subjects they choose at 16 will have an influence on what they can study at university．

Robert and Henry were going home from school， when， on turning a corner， Robert（1）　　out， "A fight! Let us go and see!" "No，" said Henry； "Let us go quietly home and avoid this quarrel． We have（2）　　to do with it， and may get into trouble．"

    "You are not a brave boy， and afraid to go， "said Robert， and off he ran． Henry went straight home， and in the afternoon went to school， as usual．（3）　　 Robert had told all the boys that Henry was a coward， and they laughed at him a great deal．

    A few days（4）　　， Robert was bathing with some schoolmates and （5）　　his depth． He struggled and screamed for help， but all in vain． The boy（6）　　had called Henry a coward， got away from the water as fast as they could， but they did not even try to help him． Robert was fast（7）　　， when Henry threw off his clothes， and sprang into the water．By great effort， and （8）　　much danger to himself， he brought Robert to the shore， and thus saved his life．

"What's the meaning of life？" This is a question we all ask（1）　　at one point or another． The best answer that I came across was written by the great psychologist， Viktor Frankl． He wrote that "The meaning of life is to give life meaning"．

    When I was a young boy， I gave my life meaning by（2）　　playing， running， jumping， swimming， laughing and riding my bike．

    When I went to school， I gave my life meaning by learning， studying hard， getting good grades and trying to make my mom and dad （3）　　．

    When I was a teenager， I found meaning in playing sports， （4）　　out with my friends and trying to impress girls．

    In college， I found my life meaning by deciding what I wanted to study and what career（职业） I would （5）　　for．

    When I was working as a teacher， I found meaning in helping to open young minds to new （6）　　and old wisdom．

    When I married and had kids， I found meaning in protecting and watching over those I loved． When I found out （7）　　of my sons were mentally handicapped（智障）， I found meaning in loving them， （8）　　them and learning so much from them about life， love， patience， faith and joy．

    （9）　　I grew older， I began to understand meaning isn't something that comes and goes． We can give meaning to every moment of our life． We can bring meaning to the thoughts we have． We can bring meaning to the things we do． We can bring meaning to the hearts we （10）　　． All we have to do is to love．

    It is love that makes life worth living． It is love that gives life meaning．

    But you're not in China﹣﹣you're in Manchester in Britain． In fact， you might see （2）_____ things in many other cities． Chinese products have been （3）　　worldwide．

    Chinese food has been enjoyed in western countries for a long time． To （4）　　local people's tastes， Chinese restaurants have made some changes to the （5）　　． Unlike Chinese， Australian people don't like to eat meat with the bone （6）　　， so Chinese restaurants there provide big pieces of meat without bones， （7）　　 for fish．

Yesterday was Father's Day． Something that happened between my father and I is still on my mind． It was a Sunday morning， and I was in a terrible mood （情绪）． （1）　　friends of mine had gone to the movies the night before and neither had invited me． I was in my room（2）　　how to make them sorry when my father came in． "Want to go for a ride today， Beck？ It's a beautiful day．"

    "No! Leave me alone!" Those were the（3）　　words I said to him that morning．

    A few hours later， my friends called me to go to the mall with them． I forgot to be（4）　　with them and went with them． When I came home， I found a（n） （5）　　from my mother that said， "Dad has had an accident． Please meet us at the Park Hospital．"

    When I reached the hospital， my mother told me a car hit my father and he was seriously wounded． "Your father told the driver to leave（6）　　alone and just call 911， thank God! If he had moved Daddy…

    He looked at me and said with a weak smile， "Sweetheart， I remember nothing about that day．"

One afternoon a few months after Tom and I were married． Max walked into the dining room， where I was looking through my old photos．

    These months I was learning to let Max come （1）　　on his own． If I moved too quickly， he ran away． If I was（2）　　， we often ended up playing， laughing， and recently， even sitting together on the sofa with a book．

    "Who' s that？" he pointed to one photo．
