One day, when I was in high school, I saw a kid named Kyle walking home from school with all his books, I thought to myself, “   11   would anyone bring home all his books for the weekend? He must really be   12  .” As I was walking, I saw several kids running toward him. They ran at him,   13   all his books out of his arms and he fell down in the dirt. His glasses went   14   and landed in the grass.

My heart went out to him. So, I ran over to him.  15   I handed him his glasses, he looked at me and said, “Hey, thanks!”

I helped him pick up his books, and asked him where he lived. As it   16   , he lived near me. We talked all the way home. Over the next four years, Kyle and I became best friends.

Kyle was the   17  student of our class, one of those guys that really found  themselves during high school. Therefore he had the   18   to prepare a graduation speech. On the graduation day, I could see that he was   19  . So, I patted him on the back and said, “Hey, big guy, you’ll be great!” He looked at me and smiled.

He cleared his throat, and began. “Graduation is a time to   20   those who helped you make it through those   21   years. Your parents, your teachers… but mostly your friends, I am here to tell all of you that being a friend to someone is the best  22   you can give him.”

I just looked at my friend with disbelief as he told the story of the first day we met. He had planned to   23   himself over the weekend and was carrying his books home. “Thankfully, nothing happened. My friend   24   me from doing the unspeakable.”

Not until that moment did I realize that you should never underestimate(低估) the  25   of your actions. With one small gesture you can change a person’s life. For better or for worse.

A young man was getting ready to graduate from college. For many months he had loved a beautiful sports car in a dealer’s showroom, and knowing his father could well   16   it, he told him that was all he wanted.
As   17   drew near, the young man expected   18   that his father had bought the car. Finally, on the morning of the special day, his father called him into his study. His father told him how   19   he was to have such a fine son, and how much he loved him. He handed his son a beautiful wrapped (包装好的) gift box. Curious, but a little bit   20  , the young man opened the box and found a lovely Bible (圣经).
Angrily, he raised his   21   to his father and said, “Is a Bible   22   you can give me with all your money?” He then stormed out of the house, leaving the Bible.
Many years   23   and the young man was very successful in business, but   24   his father was very old, he thought perhaps he   25   go to see him. He had not seen him since that graduation day.   26   he could make the arrangements (安排), he received a telegram which   27   him of his father’s death, and all the possessions (财产) willed (立遗嘱) to him.
  28   arriving at his father’s house, sudden sadness and regret filled his heart. He began to   29   through his father’s important papers and saw the still new Bible, just as he had   30   it years ago. With tears, he opened the Bible and began to   31  . As he was reading, a car   32   dropped from the back of the Bible.
How many times do we   33   blessings (祝福) because they are not wrapped as we expected? Do not spoil (搞糟) what you have by desiring (渴求) what you have not; but remember what you now have was once   34   the things you hoped for. What may appear as bad fortune (运气) may   35   be the door that is just waiting to be opened.
