“You are my best friend.” It’s the nicest thing you can 36 to someone. It’s also the nicest thing you can 37 someone.
Good friendships begin in middle school. It’s the 38 you begin to develop your own personality. Your parents aren’t around so you 39 lots of time every day sharing your life with your classmates. You talk with them, you work with them and you become friends with them. But 40 them will become your “best” friend.
Best friends are the people who like you and 41 you the most. They are the 42 who are easy to work with and easy to have fun with.
Sometimes it’s 43 to find a best friend. And sometimes you can 44 a little lonely. But just because you don’t have best friend now, it doesn’t mean you 45 one in the future. Best friends seem to find each other as if by magic. And when you find your best friend, the magic will last forever.

Dear friends,
Do you remember your first day at a new school or in a new area? How about the 31 when your family 32 to a new state? Ugh! What about the feelings of being a stranger?
Then, with time, you find someone who likes 33 you like. Friends are great gifts in life. I have good friends too, but not because they are completely(完全的) 34 .Sometimes they talk too much; sometimes they need me a lot. I know I ask too much of them. I hope my friends, like my father, 35 about me a lot.
I once told my friends to give me all their love and be generous and gentle. I told my friends, in other words, to love me 36 I loved them.
They didn’t 37 me at first, but then they became kinder. My love for them slowly made them learn to 38 friends. They learned to love others and 39 the idea that LOVE is part of life.
If we listen to and try to understand each other, love 40 .We should work on it, even if it’s hard at first. A true friend loves US at all times.
Your friend,
Jesus

Some people bring out the best in you in a way that you might never have fully realized on your own. My mom was one of those people.
My father died when I was nine months old, making my mom a single mother at the age of eighteen. While I was growing up, we lived a very 36 life. We had little money, but my mom gave me a lot of love. Each night, she sat me on her lap and spoke the words that would 37 my life, “Kemmons, you are certain to be a great man and you can do anything in life if you work hard enough to get it.”
At fourteen, I was hit by a car and the doctors said I would never 38 again. Every day, my mother spoke to me in her gentle, loving voice, telling me that no matter what those doctors said, I could walk again if I didn’t want to be bad enough. She 39 that message so deep into my heart that I finally believed her. A year later, I returned to school-walking on my own!
When the Great Depression（大萧条） 40 , my mom lost her job. Then I left school to support（支撑） both of us. At that moment, I decided never to be 41 again.
Over the years, I experienced various levels of business success. But the real 42 point happened on a vacation I took with my wife and five kids in 1916. I was dissatisfied with the second-class hotels for families and was angry that they charged（收费）an extra $2 for each child. That was too 43 for most American families. I told my wife that I was going to open a hotel for families that would never charge extra for 44 . There were plenty of doubters at that time.
Not 45 , mom was one of my strongest supporters. She worked behind the desk and even designed the room style. As in any business, we experienced a lot of hard time. But with my mother’s words deeply rooted in my heart, I 46 doubted we would succeed. Fifteen years later, we had the largest hotel system in the world - Holiday Inn. In 1979 my company had 1,759 inns in more than fifty countries with an income of $1 billion a year.
You may not have started out life in the best situations. But if you can find a 47 in life worth working for and believe in yourself, nothing can stop you.

When I was about 12 years old, I really wanted a new bike! I __36__ my parents my birthday wish, but I knew there was little hope because my family could __37__ have that money.
On my birthday my parents told me they had my __38__ outside in the back yard. At once I __39__ out to the yard. There was my bike, __40__ it wasn’t the bike that I thought it would be. This one was pink, old and worn with age. It was so __41__! I thought I __42__ my parents’ feelings because I could see the disappointment __43__ their faces and I was sure they could see it on mine. I __44__ the old bike and rode it, feeling __45__ that I had made my parents feel this way. So I put on a smile, rode as fast as I could and didn’t __46__...
As time went by, I began to understand my parents gave me __47__ much more than just a rusty（生锈的）old bike. They gave me a life lesson about __48__. When you give something out of love, it doesn’t matter what it is in fact. What matters is the love that is in it. I like to remember this __49__ because giving a gift is not about money. It’s about how much love you can feel from it. Do remember, a gift that __50__ two dollars isn’t any less valuable（有价值的）than one that costs one hundred dollars, or even more.
