Jason and Harry joined a wholesale company together just after graduation. They both worked very hard.
After several years, the boss made Harry sales manager but Jason   31  a salesman. One day Jason could not take it anymore. He handed in his resignation letter (辞职信) to the boss and complained that the boss did not   32  hard-working employees, but only raised those   33 tried to please him. He thought that it was really   34  .
In order to help Jason to realize the   35  between him and Harry, the boss asked Jason to do the   36  --- "Go and find out if there is anyone selling watermelons in the market." Charlie went, returned and only said, "Yes." The boss asked, "How much per kg?" Charlie went back to the market to ask and returned to   37  , "$ 12 per kg."
The boss told Jason that he would ask Harry the  38  question. Harry went, returned and said, "Boss, only one person selling watermelons. $12 per kg, $ 100 for 10 kg. He has a total of 340 melons. On the table are 58 melons, and every melon weighs about 15 kg,   39 from the South two days ago. They are fresh, red, and of good   40 ."
Jason was   41  and he realized the difference between himself and Harry. He decided not to leave but to learn from Harry.
My dear friends, you know, a more   42  person is more observant(观察力敏锐的), thinks more and understands in   43  . For the same matter, he sees several years ahead,   44  you see only tomorrow. The difference between a year and a day is 365 times, so how could you   45 ?
Think: how far have you seen ahead in your life? How thoughtful are you?

Dear Miss Li,
I’d like to thank you for sending money    1   “Animal Helpers”, an organization set up to help disabled people. You see, you have helped    2   it possible for me to have “Lucky”. My life    3  pleasure because of him now. Let me tell you my story.
Being blind, deaf, unable to walk or use your hands    4   is something that most people cannot imagine. But there are many people who face these challenges, and I am one of them. Because I can’t use my arms or legs well, things like answering the telephone, opening and   5
doors or carrying things have always been difficult for me. Then one day last year, a friend of mine said that she would like to    6  . She said she would talk to “Animal Helpers” to see   
  7    it would be possible for me to get a trained dog. She also thought a dog might cheer me up. I told her that I love animals and that I’d love to have a dog.
   8   six months of training with a dog at “Animal Helpers”, I was able to   9   him
home. My dog’s name is “Lucky” – a good name for him    10   I feel very lucky to have him. You see, I’m only able to have a “dog-helper” because of your kind donation!
  11  , you might ask? Well, he has been trained to    12   different instructions. For example, I say, “Lucky! Fetch my book,” and he does it at once. He is very clever and understands many English words, even some difficult    13   like “upstairs”.
Lucky is an    14   dog. I’ll send you a photo of him if you like, and I could show you how he helps me too one day. And so I thank you again for supporting “Animal Helpers”. It is very important that this organization does not run out of money. Your donation   15   and the money is well used to help disabled people like me.
Best wishes,
Liz Smith

The day is like any other day in his life. Tom walks past the shop at the street corner. He stops to look at the front row of shoes, and he feels happy to see that pair of shoes he wants very much is still there. But he feels sorry for himself. He really wants to have them for his birthday.
He sadly walks away and thinks how to tell his mother about it. He knows she will give him anything he likes if she can. He also knows very well that she has little money. He decides not to go home so quickly, because he looks worried and his mother will see it. So he goes to the park and sits on the grass. Then he sees a boy in a wheel chair. He notices that the boy moves the wheel chair with his hands. Tom looks at him carefully and is surprised to see the boy has no feet. He looks at his own feet.

Once, a circle lost a piece of its own. The circle wanted to be whole, so it went around looking for its missing piece. But it was incomplete, so it could only roll very slowly. It enjoyed the flowers and the sunshine along the way. It talked with worms. It found lots of different pieces, but none of them fit. So it left them all by the side of the road and kept on looking for the missing piece.

         Then one day the circle found a piece that fit perfectly. The circle put the missing piece into itself. It could be whole with nothing missing. It was so happy and began to roll. Now that it was a perfect circle, it could roll very fast, too fast to see flowers or talk to worms. It realized how different the world was when it rolled so quickly. It felt so sad that it stopped, left its found piece by the side of the road and rolled away slowly.

         Sometimes we are perfect when we lose something. A man who has everything is a poor man in some ways. He will never have hopes, dreams or something better. He will never know someone loves him or someone is giving him something he has always wanted or never had.

         We couldn’t be perfect, but we must be brave enough to love, strong enough to forgive, kind enough to share happiness with others and clever enough to know there is enough love around us and then we can always live a wonderful time in our lives.
