What's the real meaning of the word " peace ” ？ The f (1) story may tell us something about it.

There was once a king who offered an award to an artist who could paint the b (2) picture of peace. Many a (3) tried. The king looked at all the pictures. But there were only two he really liked and he had to choose between them.

One picture was a calm lake. The lake was a perfect thing for peace because of the high mountains around it. And overhead was a blue sky with white clouds. A (4) who saw this picture would think that it was a perfect picture of peace.

The other picture had mountains too. But they were rugged(高低不平的).Above was the dark sky,from which heavy rain fell. A waterfall was rushing down the side of the mountain. This picture did not look p (5) at all. But when the king looked c (6) he found behind the waterfall a very small bush g (7) and a mother bird sitting on her nest(鸟窝)一in perfect peace.

The king gave the award to the artist who painted the s (8) picture. Why? "Because," explained the king, ^upeace does not mean a place where there is no n (9) or trouble. Peace m (10) in the midst of all those things,you're still calm in your heart. That's the real meaning of peace.”

One day,Betty saw an advertisement in a magazine. It offered a packet of 100 mixed stamps for $ 10. Betty wanted to start a stamp collection,so she ordered the packet. One hundred mixed stamps seemed a good way to begin a collection. She sent a packet order to the stamp company ， and waited excitedly for the stamps to arrive.

Betty checked the mail every day for four weeks,but the stamps didn't arrive. So Betty decided to write to the company.

"Dear Sir / Madam，" she wrote, "A month ago,I sent you a postal order for $ 10 as payment for 100 mixed stamps. But they haven't arrived yet. Please send them by return of mail."

New York is one of the most exciting cities in the world.

You might want to do some shopping in New York. The Fifth Avenue is probably New York'smost famous shopping street. But if you go,be prepared to " window shop" only. This is shopping for the rich. There are other less expensive shopping areas nearby,and you'll soon find famous stores such as Bloomingdale's,Macy's and FAO Schwartz. And if you've brought your rollerblades(直排轮鞋).then a visit to Central Park is a must. This is a large,open park right in the middle of Manhattan. But if you thought that people came here to relax,then you'd be wrong. Nobody sits in Central Park: they run,jog(慢跑).and most of all they rollerblade.

When you leave New York ， you might be tired ， but the one thing you won't be is bored ！

2. Where is for the rich to go shopping?

3. Is Macy's a shopping area or an amusement park?

4. Central Park is on the right of Manhattan,isn't it?

Then he found a new "doctor" inside himself. This "doctor" was his own sense of humor (幽默感).He saw funny films. He read f (5) books. And something w (6) happened. Laughing took away his pain. Then he was able to sleep and rest. His own happy feeling helped him to feel well again. He said 1 (7) was his best "medicine". His doctor thought so,too.

Another man was ill， and he had a t (8) pain in his back. The doctors could nots (9)it from hurting. So the man began to "picture" his pain. In his head he "drew" a picture of a dog. He imagined it as a real dog. And he made friends with the dog. And his pain went away ！

These stories may s (10) you. But more and more people are getting well in this way. So visit the "doctor" inside your own head and you can stay happy and well.
