I moved to a new neighborhood two months ago. In the house with a large 16 across the road lived a taxi driver, a single parent with two school-age children. At the end of the day, he would 17 his taxi on the road. I 18 why he did not park it in the garage.
Then, one day I learnt that he had another car in his garage. In the afternoon he would come home 19 work, leave his taxi and go out for his 20 affairs in his other car, not in his taxi. I felt it was 21 .
I was curious to see his personal car but did not make it until I 22 to be outside one evening two weeks 23 , when the garage door was 24 and he drove out in his “own” car: a Rolls-Royce(劳斯莱斯)! It shook me completely 25 I realized what that meant. You see, he was a taxi driver. But 26 inside, he saw himself as something else: a Rolls-Royce owner and a(n) 27 . He drove others in his taxi but himself and his children in his Rolls-Royce. The world looked at his taxi and 28 him a taxi driver. But for him, a taxi was just something he drove for a living. Rolls-Royce was something he drove for a(n) 29 .
We go to bed every night and 30 every morning as parents or children, not as bankers, CEOs or professors. We go for a 31 as close friends or go for a vacation as a 32 . We love life as it is. Yet often, we base our entire happiness and success on how high we 33 the social ladder(阶梯)—how much bigger and better a 34 we have. And we ignore(忽视)our Rolls-Royce, by keeping it dusty in our garage. We should focus more on 35 we are than what we do!

My husband and I sat outside. A small child about three came up the street, accompanied by her mother. As she saw another girl a few feet away, she gave her admiring comment, “Mommy, I like her dress.” Her mom 21 , “Well, why don’t you go and tell her?”
The little girl walked 22 toward the girl wearing the pretty dress. The other one,
23 the same age, was standing with her 24 turned, alongside her parents. They had not heard the compliment (赞美). Receiving no answer, this little one 25 . My husband said to the other girl, “ 26 wants to tell you something.” As she turned around, connection was made. Once again, the little one 27 “I like your dress,” and upon hearing those words, the other one gave her a big smile and excitedly 28 “Look, it’s a spinning (旋转) dress!”, at which moment she began to spin in 29. Both of them smiled widely.
Now, the one stopped spinning and said, “It’s my favorite dress and I have (a) 30 that match!” She 31 running toward a stroller (婴儿车) parked nearby.
The mom and the daughter started to 32 down the street, 33 the encounter (邂逅) had ended. Moments later, the “spinning dress girl” reappeared, shoes in hand, 34 her new friend who had seemingly disappeared. Now, an elderly couple, seated on a bench, had obviously been 35 of all this. The man 36 the child, saying, “There’s someone coming behind you.” Then we saw one showed and the other 37 the beautiful shoes.
If you can make a 38 better, do it. I have no idea how many others that evening might have 39 this act, hoping to help good things to happen. But such brief moments, 40 together, make up what might very well be the important times in our lives.

Once upon a time the colors of the world started to quarrel. Green said, “Clearly I am the most important. I am the sign of life and hope. I was chosen for grass, trees and leaves. Without me, all animals would __31__ ."
Blue interrupted, “You only think about the 32 , but consider the sky and the sea. 33__ the water that is the basis of life and drawn up by the clouds from the deep sea. Without my peace, you would all be 34 .
Yellow laughed, “ You are all so serious. I bring laughter, fun, and 35 into the world.”
Orange started next to blow her trumpet, “ I am the color of health and strength. I may be _36 , but I am priceless for I serve the needs of human life. When I fill the sky at sunrise or _37 , my beauty is so striking that no one gives another 38 to any of you.
Red could stand it 39 and he shouted out, “I am the ruler of all of you. I am the color of danger and bravery. I am willing to 40_ truth. I am also the color of passion and of love.”
Then came Purple and Indigo.
The colors went on boasting(自夸), each convinced of his or her won superiority(优越). Their _41 became louder and louder. Suddenly there was a startling flash of bright lightning thunder. Rain started to pour down 42 . The colors crouched (蜷缩)down 43 , drawing close to one another for comfort.
In the midst of the shout, rain began to speak, “You foolish colors, fight 44 yourselves, each trying to dominate(统治) 45 . Don’t you know that you were each made for a special purpose, 46 and different? Join hands with one 47 and come to me.”
Doing as they were told, the colors 48 and joined hands. They formed a colorful rainbow. From then on, whenever a good 49 washes the world, a rainbow appears in the sky. They remember to___50__ one another.

A group of graduates got together to visit their old university professor.
The conversation soon turned into complaints about 26 in work and life. To offer his guests coffee, the 27 went to the kitchen and returned with a large pot of coffee and a variety of 28 — porcelain, plastic, glass, crystal, some 29 , some expensive, some delicate — telling them to help themselves to the 30 .
When all the students 31 a cup of coffee in hand, the professor said, "If you have 32 , all the nice-looking expensive cups have been taken up, 33 the plain and cheap ones. While it is 34 for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the 35 of your problems and stress. "
"Be assured that the cup itself adds no 36 to the coffee. In most cases it is just more expensive and in some cases even 37 what we drink. "
"What all of you really want is coffee, 38 the cup, but you 39 went for the best cups … And then you began 40 each other's cups. "
"Now consider 41 : Life is the coffee; the jobs, money and position in society are the cups. They are just tools to hold and contain 42 , and the type of cup we have does not determine, nor 43 the quality of life we live. Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cup, we 44 to enjoy the coffee. Fully appreciate the coffee, not the cups! Don't let the cups 45 you ... enjoy the coffee instead. "
