This seemed like a very 38 process, but there' s always some   39 soul in the crowd who will volunteer．The instructor then   40 that we find ways to   41 people, or take some action to right any wrong doings．I was seriously wondering how this could ever 42   my communication．
Then the man next to me raised his hand and volunteered this story: “Making my   43 , I remembered an incident from high school．I grew up in a small town．There was a Sheriff   44 of us kids liked．One night, my two buddies(伙伴) and I decided to play a   45   on him．
After drinking a few beers, we climbed the tall water tank in the middle of the town, and wrote on the tank in bright red paint: Sheriff Brown is a s．o．b．（畜生）．The next day, almost the whole town saw our glorious   46 ．Within two hours, Sheriff Brown had us in his office．My friends told the truth but I   47 ．No one ever found out.
Nearly 20 years later．Sheriff Brown's name   48   on my list．I didn't even know if he was still   49 ．Last weekend, I dialed the information in my hometown and found there was a Roger Brown still listed．I tried his number．After a few   50 , 1 heard, "Hello?" I said, "Sheriff Brown?" Paused．"Yes．" "Well, this is Jimmy Calkins．"
“And I want you to know that I did it?” Paused．“I knew it!” he yelled back．We had a good laugh and a   51 discussion．His closing words were: “Jimmy, I always felt bad for you   52 your buddies got it off their chest, but you were carrying it   53 all these years．I want to thank you for calling me for your sake.”
Jimmy inspired me to   54   all the items on my list within two years, and I always remember what I learned from the course: It's never too late to   55 the past wrongdoings．

Long long ago, there was a small village. This village had a 36   tradition. At the beginning of every year, any boy who had reached the age of majority (成年) was given land and money to build a home. The boy had to 37 his home before winter. If his home failed to endure the cold weather in winter, the villagers could not 38   him in any way．
One _39_, Paul and Marc reached their majority. They 40 their land and money and decided to search nearby villages for ideas on building their homes．In each village, they found the nicest 41 and talked to the owners. Each owner gladly offered 42 ．
After Marc saw several homes, he 43 the best ideas and went back to his own land. Paul, _44_, continued collecting more ideas. Soon he had so many great ideas that he began to 45 some of them. But he always believed he could find even better ideas in the next village．
Marc began building his home. He had several false starts, 46   his home gradually rose from his land. By fall, Marc had finished his home. It wasn't perfect, but it was strong and he could 47 it later. Paul enjoyed all the beautiful homes and 48 with home owners. The first snow came and Paul, realizing he was running out of time, 49   back to his land. He built the best home he could in the time he had, but it was 50 .The first winter storm destroyed his home and he froze to 51 ．The villagers mourned for him．
Marc 52 the winter．Each year, Marc searched for other good ideas he could use to make his own home look better. He became a leader in the village, 53 a family, and lived a happy, content life．
We all build and improve our own mental homes. It’s 54   and fun for us to search for ideas from other mental home owners, but we only improve our own mental home if we actually 55 the best ideas．

Certainly dustmen prefer to be known as "Reuse Collection and Disposal Officers". You may think that this is rather 36 , and it is better to call a spade a spade. But dustmen can be as 37 as people of any other occupation, though we must 38 that their job is not a 39 one in the world. We often take dustmen for granted. Perhaps because they usually come very early in the morning, before most people are 40 .We are likely to forget their 41 .Our dustbins are 42 regularly, but we 43 stop to think about the men who do this. However, it is one of the most important jobs in the world, and when there are no dustmen to 44 the rubbish, the general 45 soon becomes aware that something is wrong. Recently, the dustmen of England went on strike for higher wages.
During the first few days it was regarded as a 46 .But when the first two weeks had passed, and the dustbins were overflowing in nearly every backyard in the country, the joke did not seem so 47 any more. 48 the strike continued, people could not 49 the hills of rubbish around their dustbins, and they looked for other places in which to 50 it. Even Leicester Square, in the heart of West End of London, was 51 high with plastic bags full of smelly rubbish. This was a（n） 52 attraction that the people of London were not at all 53 to see. Even when the strike was over, it took several weeks for the country to get cleaned up completely. Perhaps now the English people appreciate the work of 54 dustmen rather more 55 and won't take them for granted any more.
