Diane Ray was completely self-centered and very spoilt. Her parents gave her   36 she wanted, knowing that she would throw a temper tantrum(耍小孩脾气)if they did not. She would scream and kick and  37 on the floor drumming her heels. Her parents always   38 .

That was why she was alone on the  39 , wearing an expensive swimsuit. It has taken a massive tantrum to  40 her parents to buy it. They were back at the beach-house, 41 from the tantrum she had thrown when they told her that it was too dangerous to go diving  42 . “Dangerous?” she had said. “You just don’t want me to have  43 . I’m going and if you try to stop me, I’ll scream.”

“What are you doing ?” a voice asked. Diane jumped. She did not know that the man was there 44  he spoke .

“I’m going diving, ” she answered.

“You shouldn’t swim that day, ” the man  45 . “There is a storm coming up.”

“You should mind your own   46 !” Diane replied and walked into the gentle waves.

“If you go out there you’ll be  47 ,” the man called after her. She did not bother to reply.

Diane slipped into the water and dived   48  until white caps began rolling in and it became harder to  49 against the current (水流). Saltwater hit against her face, making it  50 to breathe. Oh, why had she not listened to advice.

Panicking, she began to  51 . Then, just as it seemed as if she would slip beneath the surface, she heard a  52 voice. “Hold on ! I’m coming.” With  53 , she saw the old man rowing an ancient-looking boat towards her. “I hope you’ve learned a lesson. You put us both in  54 , ” he shouted angrily, as he dragged her over the side of the  55 . Gratefully, Diane thanked him and ran towards the beach-house.

Travis laughed as he tore at the wrapping paper on his birthday present.He was so    16 ! Finally, he would have the coolest pair of name-brand basketball shoes.

All the guys on his team were wearing the name-brand shoes of a popular basketball   17  , Chuck Hart.    18   Hart was criticized for his poor sportsmanship(运动员风范) and infamous(臭名远扬的)   19 , he was a great player.In fact, Travis wasn't thinking about Hart' s behavior; he had only expected to see Hart' s  20  on the side of the box.The first indication that something was   21  came as he tore away the last piece of paper.Not Hart' s.The new shoes were the name-brand of another player, Robert Ryann, who was   22   for his amazing work in the community.

Travis's hands   23  ; his heart stopped.It wasn't that the Ryann shoes weren't nice, but what would his friends think ?

They were the wrong shoes and Travis would be   24  by the other players. When he looked up into his dad' s eyes, however, Travis knew  he  25  tell him. "'Thanks, Dad.I was really hoping for shoes," Travis said as he pulled the shoes out of the box.

Next morning his dad drove him to school.When they   26  in front of his destination, Travis slowly opened the car door.Just then, his dad stopped him.

"Hey, Travis, wait a minute, look"…" his dad said  27   "Travis, I know those aren' t the shoes you had hoped for, but I saw the names of the two guys and made a(n)   28   The guy whose name is on those shoes," he said, pointing down at Travis’s feet, "is someone I   29   .Do you know how often Ryann has found himself in   30 ?"

"No," Travis said.

" Never.He' s never talked back to his coach or started a fight, and he' s a team player.You could have acted like a   31  when you didn't get the shoes you wanted, Travis,   32  you were polite and made the best of it.You have    33  , like the guy whose name is on these shoes.I' m hoping that someday, your name will be on the coolest pair of shoes I' 11 ever see."

When Travis looked down at his feet, he saw the shoes   34   . His dad had used his mind and heart to give the son a thoughtful   35   .

Some years ago I was offered a writing assignment that would require three months of travel through Europe.I had been abroad a couple of times, 36 I could hardly claim to know my way around the continent.Moreover, my  37 of foreign languages was  38 to a little college French.

I  39 .How would I,unable to speak the language and totally  40 with local geography or transportation systems,  41 interviews and do research? It seemed  42 ,and with much regret I sat down to write a letter begging  43 .Halfway through,a thought ran through my mind:you can’t learn if you don’t  44 .So I accepted the assignment.

There were some bad news. But by the time I had  45 the trip I was an experienced 46 .And ever since,I have never hesitated to  47 for even the most remote places,without guides or even  48 bookings,confident that somehow I will  49 .

The point is that the new,the  50 ,is almost by definition scary.But each time you try 51 ,you learn,and as the learning piles up,the world  52 to you.

I’ve  53 to ski at 40,and flown up the Rhine River in a balloon.And I know I’ll go on doing such things.It’s not because I’m  54 or more daring than others. I’m not. But I’ll accept anxiety as another name for  55 and I believe I can accomplish wonders.
