题目内容

In 1972, I returned to Miami Beach High School to speak to the drama class. Afterward I asked the drama teacher       any of my English teachers are still there. Irene Roberts, he tells me, is in the class        down the hall.
  I was no one special in Miss Roberts’ class — just another student who did okay work. I don’t recall any one special bit of wisdom she passed on. Yet I cannot forget her        for language, for ideas and for her students. I        now, many years later, that she is the perfect example of a        teacher. I’d like to say something to her, I say, but I don’t want to        her from a class. Nonsense, he says, she’ll be        to see you.
  The drama teacher       Miss Roberts into the hallway where stands this 32-year-old man she last saw at 18. “I’m Mark Medoff,” I tell her. “You were my 12th-grade English teacher in 1958.” She       her head to one side and looks at me, as if this angle might remember me in her       . And then, though armed with a message I want to        in many words, I can’t think up anything more memorable than this: “I want you to know,” I say, “you were        to me.”
  And there in the hallway, this lovely woman, now nearing        age, this teacher who doesn’t remember me, begins to weep; and she encircles me in her arms.
          this moment, I begin to sense that everything I will ever know, everything I will ever pass to my students, is an inseparable part of a legacy(遗产) of our ancestors.
  Irene Roberts holds me        in her arms and through her tears whispers        my cheek, “Thank you.” And then, with the briefest of looks into my forgotten face, she         back into her classroom,        to what she has done thousands of days through all the years of my       .
On reflection, maybe those were,       , just the right words to say to Irene Roberts. Maybe they are the very words I would like to speak to all those teachers through my life, the very words I would like spoken to me one day by some returning student: “I want you to know you were important to me.”

When I was about 10, I was walking down the street with my mother. She stopped to speak to Mr. Lee. I knew I could see Mr. Lee anytime around the neighborhood, so I just stood there. After we passed him, my mother stopped and said something unforgettable, "You let that be the last time you ever walk by somebody you know without opening your mouth to speak, because even a dog can wag its tail when it passes you on the street. "That sentence sounds simple but it made me become who I am.
At work, I used to say hello to the president of the company and ask him how our business was doing. But I also spoke to the people in the cafe and people who cleaned the buildings, and asked them how their children were doing, for every single person deserves to be accepted, no matter how humble(低微的)they are. I remember that after a few years of passing by the president, I had the courage to ask him for a chat. We had a great talk. At some point, when I asked him how far he thought I could go in his company, he said that if I wanted to, I could get all the way to his seat.
I've become vice-president, but that hasn't changed how I treat people. I speak to people wherever I am. Speaking to people creates a pathway into their world, and it lets them come into mine, too.
The day you speak to someone who has his head down and then see him lift it up and smile, you will realize how powerful it is just to open your mouth and say hello.

My friend Tom came across an accident when driving in darkness. His legs were so hurt that he couldn’t move. What was           was that he found himself unable to ask for help—his mobile phone went out of       as a result of exhausted battery. Nothing could be done but          in the cold wilderness. It was 8 hours later that day broke and then the       of the rescue team.
It is almost          that he could stand the horror in the darkness for so long. Even more surprising was his       . “First of all I checked my   conditions and found myself not in danger. As there was no        to call for help, I leaned(斜靠)back in my seat trying my best to keep the wound from       . In this way I dozed(打盹)off.”
His story put an end to my regret for the         of an exploration that happened last year. A group of young men          to explore a mountain cave and got lost.         to find a way out in the dark cave they were frightened and ran anxiously without a sense of        . Finally, they fell dead in fear and exhaustion. According to the       team that found them, the place where they got lost was only about 10 meters away from the       of the cave. If they stayed on the spot when they lost their way and tried to      themselves, they would probably have sensed a faint light glowing(发出) not far away.
Don’t you think that you can compare it with       itself? When you meet with difficulties in life, you are lost in darkness. Focus that it’s unclear to you yet and you needn’t put up struggle     . It seems to be a negative attitude,     a person who can do so must have foresight as well as a great        in the first place.

Recently I overheard a father and daughter in their last moments together at the airport. The airline had       her departure and standing near the security gate, they hugged and he said, “I love you. I wish you enough.” She        said, “Dad, our life together has been more than enough. Your love is all I ever needed. I wish you enough, too, Dad.” They kissed and she left.
He walked over toward the window where I was seated. Standing there I could see he wanted and needed to cry. I tried not to       him, but he welcomed me in by       , “Did you ever say good-bye to someone knowing it would be forever?”
“Yes, I have,” I replied. “Forgive me for asking, but why is this a forever good-bye?” “I am old and she lives much too far away. I have challenges ahead, and the reality is, the next trip back will be for my ___   ” he said.
“When you were saying good-bye I heard you say, ‘I wish you enough’. May I ask what that means?”
He began to smile. “That’s a wish that has been        for many generations within my family. My parents used to say it to everyone.”
He       for a moment, looking up as if trying to remember it in detail, and then he smiled and        the following:
  “I wish you enough sun to keep your attitude bright.
  I wish you enough rain to appreciate the sun more.
  I wish you enough happiness to keep your spirit alive.
  I wish you enough pain so that the       joys in life appear much bigger.
  I wish you enough gain to satisfy your wanting.
  I wish you enough loss to       all that you possess.
  I wish you enough ‘Hellos’ to get you enough the final ‘Good-byes’.”
  Then he walked away, leaving me lost in thought.

In this life, what did you miss?
The wife asked the husband when she was 25. Despondently, the husband replied: 'I missed a new job opportunity.' When she was 35, the husband angrily told her that he had just missed the bus. At 45, the husband sadly said: 'I missed the opportunity seeing my closed relative before his last breath.' At 55, the husband said disappointingly: 'I missed a good chance to retire.' At 65, the husband hurriedly replied: 'I missed a dental appointment.' At 75, the wife did not ask the husband anymore, the husband was kneeling in front of the very sick wife. Remembering the question the wife used to ask him, this time he asked the wife the same question. The wife, with a smile and peaceful look, replied: 'In this life, I did not miss having you!' The husband was full of tears. He always thought that they could be together forever. He was always busy with work and trifles. So much so he had never been thoughtful to his wife. The husband hugged the wife tightly and said: 'Over 50 years, how I had allowed myself to miss your deep love for me.'
In the busy city life, there are many people who are always busy with work. These people revolve their lives around their jobs, these people sacrifice all their times and health to meet the social expectations. They are unwilling to spend times on health care. They miss the opportunity to be with their children in their growing up. They neglect the loved ones who care for them, and also their health. Nobody knows what is going to happen one year from now.
Life is not permanent, so always live in the now. Express your gratitude to your loved ones in words. Show your care with actions. Treat everyday as the last episode of life. In this way, when you are gone, you loved ones would have nothing to feel sorry about.

Have you ever heard the saying “If you want a friend, be one”?
Here is how a new teacher made friends with the girls and boys in her class on the first day of school. As the bell rang, the teacher smiled at each girl and boy. Then she said in a quiet voice, “Good morning. How nice it is to have all of you in my class this year. I'd like to know each of you. I am sure we will enjoy working together.” Everyone felt that she meant what she said because of her sweet voice and her friendly look.
She told the girls and boys her name and wrote it on the blackboard. Then she told them some of the things she liked to do and she was hoping to do with them during the year.
