My 14-year-old brother John dreamed of having a black woolen coat, for at that time this kind of coat was   31   with teenagers, but it could cost several hundred dollars. One day my brother and I went into a shop and saw a black woolen coat at the same time. The coat felt very soft, and it cost only $28. It was   32   but so nice. We looked at each other, saying nothing, but John’s eyes shone.
John tried on the coat and   33   it at once. John wore the coat to school the next day happily and came home with a big   34  . “How do the kids like your coat?” I asked. “They love it,” he said. I started to call him “Lord (老爷) John”.
Over the next few weeks, there seemed to be a   35   in John. He became more polite, more confident and more pleasing. He would   36   his classmates his pens; he would bring his father a cup of tea when he got home; he would   37   a blind man cross the road.
When my mother talked about her son’s change with one of his teachers and wondered what caused it, he said, “It must be his  38  !” One day, in the library, my brother and I happened to meet a friend of my father’s, who had not seen us for a long time. John came up and shook hands with him like a   39  ! The friend said in surprise, “Are you John? You have changed so much!”
What really changed John was his own attitude(态度).   40   you think you are a gentleman or a lady, you can become a perfect one.

Although I love my life, it hasn’t been a lot of fun as I’ve been ill for 28 years.
Music has always been a great love of mine and, in my 20s, when my       was more manageable , I        ten years as a professional singer in restaurants, playing and singing folk songs.       that was years ago and times have changed.       I live with mother on a   country farm.
Two years ago, I decided that I would need to have some kind of extra work to make up for my disability pension (残疾抚恤金).       I needed to sleep in the afternoons, I was limited(限制) in my choices. I decided that I would consider      to singing in restaurants.
My family are all musicians, so I was       when I went into our local music store. I explained that I wanted to sing again but using recorded karaoke music. I knew that discs were very expensive and I really didn’t have a lot of       to get started. And often you find only three to four songs out of ten on a disc that you can      use.
When I told the owner of the shop about my      ; he gave me a long thoughtful      . “This means a lot to you, doesn’t it?” he said. “Come with me.”
He led me       the crowded shop and to a bench with a large professional karaoke box on it. He placed his large hand       on his treasure(财宝) and said, “I have 800 karaoke songs in here. You can take your pick and I’ll record them for you. That should get you started.”
I could have cried. Thanking him, I made a time with him to listen to all the songs and choose      that I could sing. I have come full circle with his help.
His     still warms my heart and makes me do just that bit extra, when I have the chance.

With a determined(坚定的) look on his face, Chicago’s Michael McCarthy held on to the banister(扶手) and climbed to the top of the Willis Tower not long ago. The Tower stands 1,451 feet tall, the      building in the US.
As he got to the last step, McCarthy      fell down, but that didn’t stop him. The 14-year-old boy finally finished climbing the 2,109 steps and arrived at the top, where he      cheers from many people.
“I just want to show people that      a kid with no legs can do it, anyone can do it,” McCarthy said.
McCarthy, who was born without legs, has to wear prosthetic legs(假肢) and use a stick to walk. But McCarthy has a strong     . He believes having a disability shouldn’t stop anyone     achieving his or her success.
He has been in a special school     he was four. When he decided to climb the Willis Tower, his teacher, Jeff Kohn, was moved by his determination(决心) and offered      train him. They     more than ten hours practicing climbing stairs and keeping balance with the prosthetics and sticks on the steps every day. “    seems that he never knows how difficult it is.     I was so tired that I asked him to rest for a day,” said Kohn. “But he said he was still full of energy and wanted more     .”
Kohn always walked with McCarthy for the climb. “I  found when climbing the last 10 floors, he went faster,” said Kohn. “He’s the      sportsman I’ve ever trained.”
McCarthy said he was      of himself and that the tower now holds special meaning. “When I’m older, I’ll  point(指着) to the building and      ‘Look at this building I climbed’,”

People are always afraid of making mistakes. But sometimes it’s not bad to make mistakes, and here is why.
At first , mistakes are a clear sign that you are trying new things. It’s always good to new things, because when you are trying new things your are growing. If you never try new things , how can you improve ? How can you create? The simple answer is, “ You can’t .” Look around you, everything you see is the result of someone trying new things.
Another good thing about mistakes is this : when your are making mistakes, you are learning. Consider this: Edison failed 10,000 times before he invented the light bulb. When he was asked how he felt to fail that many times, but rather had learned 10,000 things that didn’t work.
Finally , when you make a mistake, you are that much closer to success. Why? Because you have said what you should say, and you have done what you should do. Every time you make a mistake, you are closer to success. But it doesn’t mean that you can make mistakes without thinking. Instead, when you try new things you have to think them over, so that you can keep away from some unnecessary mistakes.
We shouldn’t spend all our time and money on the only one way , but use them correctly. Because our time and money are limited. (有限的)
There is an old saying, “ If you are not making mistakes, you are not trying hard enough.” So go bravely and make mistakes. And learn. And grow. And succeed.

Each day I took the same route to work and passed by a security guard (保安).  1  greeted everyone walking by and made small talk with many of the passers-by and wishing them well. His simple “hello” made people feel   2 . His cheerful smile became a part of my day. When he was absent, many people noticed it, and I felt a little bit empty.
The first few times, I didn’t say hello back to him when he greeted me. I was   3  in my own world. On Monday the security guard asked me:“How was your weekend?” I told him about my visit to California, to see my mother, who had colon cancer. I  4 how I visited her each month. “The time with my mother is so precious(珍贵的),   5  I know that each time may be the last.”
He listened like a close friend I’d known for years. He felt my   6 and my love. He shared how he had lost his father to cancer two years before. He said, “I understand what you are going through. My father passed away while I was serving in Germany. Because of some reasons I was unable to fly back in time. I was unable to say goodbye to him. I wish I could have been with him, given him a hug, and told him I loved him. You are really lucky to have the gift of   7 .”
As I walked away, I realized I did not even know his name. The following day, on my way to work, I said: “After we spent all that time   8 yesterday, I still don’t know your name.” He answered, “Gary.” I responded back, “I’m Deborah.”
After that, we talked and shared stories about our weekends, dreams and families.
Later, Gary got   9  a new job and moved away. It’s been several years since I last spoke to him, yet the memory feels like yesterday. Gary reached out to me,   10  me and made my morning the best part of the day. I experienced the beauty of friendship and love.
In the business of life, we often forget to wish a stranger hello although how easy it is, and how great and lasting a   11  it can make. When you say hello to a stranger you become like a pebble(鹅卵石) thrown into a pond. With each ripple (波纹)you create, you spread love that continues to   12 . Make a point of saying hello to a stranger today. You will give the gift that keeps on giving.
