It is a very common thing for a person to have a good friend. My good friend is Diana. She is a rich and proud girl. She often thinks that she is too good for anyone, so nobody wants to be her friend.
One day after school, I was waiting for Diana when Vivien came up to me. She gave me a biscuit. I accepted it. We talked and joked, and from then on, I began to spend more time with Vivien than with Diana. I felt a little uneasy.
After a few days, I went to see Diana for some snacks when Vivien came and sat with me. She offered me a sandwich. She also offered one to Diana, but Diana refused it. She walked away. I was angry with Diana for being so rude and thoughtless.
“Never mind,” Vivien said, “I’m used to it.”
After school, I tried to catch up with Diana. While walking home, I tried to correct her attitude, but she would not listen to me. She said, “Go and join your ‘dear’ Vivien. I know you make new friends and forget the old ones.”
For the next few weeks, we did not talk to each other. Then, one day, Diana came to Vivien and me, saying, “I’m really sorry about what I did. I’m a spoiled（宠坏的）girl, but I also need good friends just like you. Would you please forgive（原谅）me?” Vivien and I looked at each other and smiled.

When I was about 12, a girl in my class liked to point out my problems. I was too thin; I wasn’t a good student; I talked too much; I was too 61 , and so on. At last, I became very angry and ran to my father.
He listened to me 62 . Then he asked, “Are these things true or not? Do you know what you are really like? Go and make a 63 of what she said and find the 64 that are true.”
I did he told me. To my great 65 . I discovered that about half of the things were true. Some of them I couldn’t change(like being very thin). But there were things I could and wanted to change. For the 66 time, I got a clear 67 of myself.
I brought the list back to dad. He refused to take it. “That’s just for you.” He said. “You know the truth about 68 better than anyone else. When people say something that is true about you, you should find it helpful.”
Our world is full of people who think they know your business. Don’t 69 and feel 70 . Listen to them.

This would be the 16 time that his classmates and teacher met his mother and he 17 lose his face because of her appearance. Although she was a 18 woman, there was a scar(疤痕) that covered nearly the whole right side of her face. The boy never wanted to 19 why or how she got the scar.
At the meeting, the people were 20 by the kindness and natural beauty of his mother even though she had the scar on her face, but the little boy was still embarrassed(尴尬) and hid himself from everyone. 21 , he happened to hear of a talk between his mother and his teacher.
The teacher asked 22 , “How did you get the scar on your face?”
The mother replied, “When my son was a baby, he was in a room that caught fire. 23 was too afraid to go in because the fire was 24 , so I went in. 25 I was running toward his bed, I saw a long piece of wood 26 and I placed myself over him trying to protect him. I was knocked senseless(失去知觉) but luckily, a fireman came in and saved both of us.” She 27 the burned side of her face. “This scar will be there forever, but to this day, I have never 28 what I did.”

It is very important to stay healthy. I have a neighbor. She is an old lady. She can do all the housework, 16 newspapers, watch TV and search on the Internet to learn something new. I often see 17 do taijiquan in the morning and dance in the evening. She looks young and beautiful 18 she is over seventy. Last week a reporter from a magazine interviewed her and asked 19 she kept so young and healthy. She replied with a smile:
I have a secret of staying young and healthy. It is quite 20 . Keep your mind active, take an interest in the world 21 you, and learn at least one new thing every day. Try to do different kinds of housework and do sports as 22 as you can. Don’t think you are too old to go back to 23 . I know a man who entered a medical college when he was 70 years old. He studied there for 6 years and now he is a doctor. Another man went to a tennis school at the age of 71 and now he is good at 24 tennis. Some people may say staying young is easy only for those who live in the future. In fact, no matter how old you are, you can make it.
Please tell the story to your family. It would be a good start to 25 the lady’s example. I hope all people will stay young and healthy.

On my birthday, my parents told me they had my 37 outside in the back yard. At once I 38 out to the yard. There was my bike, 39 it wasn’t the bike that I thought it would be. This one was pink, old and worn with age. I thought I 40 my parents’ feelings because I could see the disappointment 41 their faces and I was sure they could see it on mine. I got on the old bike and rode it, feeling 42 that I had made my parents feel this way. So I put on a smile, rode as fast as I could and didn’t look back.
As time went by, I began to understand my parents gave me 43 much more than just a rusty（生锈的）old bike. They gave me a life lesson about 44 .

To get a thorough understanding of yourself is to know well about yourself. You may realize your strong points and weak 43 . You may hope for a wonderful future, but be sure not to expect too much because not 44 dreams can come true. You may be confident enough to meet challenges，but first you should know 45 .
To get a thorough understanding of yourself needs self-appreciation(自我欣赏). Maybe you think you are a tall tree 46 just small grass, but you can always have your own way of being there. As soon as you get full confidence in yourself, you are sure to face any trouble.
To get a thorough understanding of yourself also 47 to take care of yourself. When you are angry, find a quiet place so that you won’t be hurt. When you are 48 , tell your friends about it to change the mood(情绪) into a good one. When you are tired, get a good sleep. If you don’t know when and how you should look after yourself, you 49 be able to stay away from illness.

Then I had kids of my own. I was happy with my wife and my kids. But one day someone knocked at my door. It was my 22 !When she stood by the door, my children laughed at her, and I 23 at her, “How dare you come to my house and scare my children!

One day, a boy found the cocoon(茧) of a butterfly and brought it home. A few days later, the boy saw a small 41 in the cocoon. He sat and watched for several hours as a butterfly struggled to make 42 body through that little hole. Suddenly it stopped.
So the boy 43 to help the butterfly, thinking the butterfly might be 44 .He took a pair of scissors(剪刀) and cut the hole 45 .The butterfly came out of the cocoon but it 46
a little different. It had a weak body and small, thin 47 .The butterfly didn’t start to fly. In fact, the butterfly spent the rest of its life crawling(爬行) around with a weak body and thin wings. It was never able to fly.
The boy acted with 48 but he didn’t understand why it could be like this. When a butterfly crawls out of the cocoon, it must struggle. The hard work of 49 out of the cocoon makes the fluid(液体) from the butterfly’s body into its wings. It helps the butterfly be 50 to fly. If the butterfly never has to squeeze(挤压) itself out of the cocoon, its wings will never get the fluid and it can never fly.
51 struggles are what we need in our lives. If we lived our lives without any problems, we would never learn or grow. We would not be 52 we could have been and we would never fly.
In our lives, pain and suffering is the key to all windows, and sometimes even 53 growth, without it , there’s no way of life. We can’t avoid 54 or problems. So, next time you are 55 a problem or difficulty, remember the butterfly. Struggle a little—then fly!

An elderly carpenter(木匠) was ready to retire. He told his boss his plans to 1 the business and live a more relaxed life with his wife. He would miss the pay, but he needed to retire.
The boss was 2 to see his good worker go, and asked if he could build just one more house as a personal favor. The carpenter said yes, 3 it was easy to see that his heart was not in his work. He used poor skills and 4 materials. It was an unfortunate way to 5 his career.
When the carpenter finished his work, the boss came to 6 the house. After he checked it out, he handed a 7 to the carpenter. “This is your house,” he said. ‘It is my gift to you.”
What a shame！If he knew he was building his own house, the old man would have done it all so 8 .
So it is with all of us. Think of your life as a 9 . Each day you hammer a nail(钉子), place a board, or set up a wall. You must try your best to build the house wisely because it is the only life you will ever have. Your life tomorrow will 10 from the attitudes you choose today.
