The power of encouragement is great. You may draw some inspiration from the following story.
Dante Gabriel Rossetti, a famous 19thcentury poet and artist, was once 26 by an elderly man. The old man had some sketches (素描) and drawings that he 27 Rossetti to look at them and tell him if they were any good, or 28 they at least showed potential(潜在的)talent.
Rossetti looked them 29 carefully. After the first few, he knew that they were worthless, showing not the least sign of artistic talent. But Rossetti was a 30 man, and he told the elderly 31 as gently as possible that the pictures were of little value and showed little talent. He was sorry, 32 he could not 33 to the man.
The visitor was 34 , but seemed to expect Rossetti’s 35 .He then apologized for 36 Rossetti’s time, but would he just 37 a few more drawings—these done by a(n) 38 art student?Rossetti looked over the 39 batch (一批) of sketches and immediately became 40 over the talent they revealed(显示;透露) .“These,” he said,“Oh, these are good. This young student has great talent. He should be 41 every help and encouragement in his career as an artist. He has a hopeful future if he will work and stick to it.”
Rossetti could see that the old man was 42 moved.“Who is this fine young artist?” he asked.“Your son?” “No,” said the old man sadly.“It was I 43 painted the pictures forty years ago. 44 I had heard your praise then!For you see, I got discouraged and 45 drawing—too soon.”

The Hand
Thanksgiving Day was near. The first grade teacher gave her class fun work to draw a picture of 36 for which they were thankful.
Most of the class might be 37 to be economically(经济上) poor, but still many would 38 a big holiday dinner with turkeys and other traditional goodies of the season. These, the teacher thought, would be the 39 of most of her students’ art. And they really were.
But Douglas made a 40 kind of picture, for Douglas was a different kind of boy. He was the teacher’s true child of pity and love, 41 and unhappy. As other children played at break, Douglas was likely to stand close by her side. One could only guess the pain Douglas felt 42 those sad eyes.
Yes, his picture was different. When he was 43 to draw a picture of something for which he was thankful, he drew a 44 ---nothing else. Just an empty hand.
His picture brought out the heated 45 of his classmates. Whose hand could it be? One child guessed it was the hand of a farmer because farmers 46 turkeys. Another suggested a police officer’s because the police protect and 47 people. And so the discussion went --- until the teacher 48 forgot the young artist.
49 the children had gone on to do other work, she 50 Douglas’ desk, bent down, and asked him whose hand it was. The little boy looked away and said in a very low voice, “It’s yours, teacher.”
She recalled the 51 when she had taken his hand and walked with him here and there and how 52 she had said, “Take your hand, Douglas, and we’ll go outside.” or “Let me show you how to hold your pencil.” or “Let’s do this together.” Douglas was most 53 for his teacher’s hand.
Brushing aside tears, she went on with her work.
In fact, people 54 not always say “Thanks”. But they would remember the hand that 55 .

Girls are born to imagine, particularly those at the age of seventeen or eighteen. 【小题1】 , I was one of them and sometimes I would go to extremes. I mean I tended to imagine too much. That was exactly what happened this time, 【小题2】 me great embarrassment.
I was waiting for my train home at the station when a boy 【小题3】 at my side. His beautifully-curved face, his fashionable clothing and everything else about him, was so 【小题4】 that I just couldn’t help looking at him. What was more exciting was that , he was also stealing some 【小题5】 at me, which made me blush(脸红) to the ends of my ears! Still, I tried to be calm and 【小题6】 that nothing had happened. However, once again when our eyes met, I could hear my heart beating. I lowered my head to escape his eyes, but my thoroughly red face had made 【小题7】 known .
To my pleasant surprise, my imagination came true this time, as the handsome guy was drawing near! “Oh, please! Don’t 【小题8】 .” Look at me. I am so sweaty and sloppy(不整洁的). Please don’t ask for my telephone number. You know I will give it to you without 【小题9】 , and that is so unladylike.

His voice was so nice, but I wish I had not 【小题10】 it. “I am sorry, but could you please give me my 【小题11】 back? Yours is over there.” Oh my God! Nothing could have been more 【小题12】 when I handed his bag back to him, as shame almost brought me to tears.
From that , I drew a big lesson: never imagine too much if someone just gives you a few glances.

Pierre is a 25-year-old penguin at the California Academy of Sciences. Due to his old age, he was going bald, which made him feel too cold to swim in the pool. Therefore, biologists at the academy had a wetsuit created for this penguin to help him get back in the swimming pool.
Unlike marine mammals, which have a layer of fat to keep them warm, penguins depend on their waterproof feathers. Without them, Pierre was unwilling to jump into the swimming pool and ended up trembling on the side of the pool while his 19 peers played in the water.
"He was cold; he would shake," said Pam Schaller, a senior biologist. Schaller first tried a heat lamp to keep Pierre warm. Then she got another idea: if wetsuits keep humans warm in the cold Pacific, why not make one for Pierre?
Schaller designed the suit, which covered Pierre’s body and had small openings for his flippers.
“I would walk behind him and look at where there were any gaps, and cut and refit and cut and refit until it looked like it was extremely suitable,” she said.
One concern was that the other penguins would reject Pierre in his new suit, but in fact, they accepted his new look. He swam freely and got along with others well, although he was the only penguin with a black stomach.
Schaller couldn’t say for sure whether the wetsuit allowed Pierre to recover his fine feathers, but “certainly we were able to keep him comfortable during a period of time that would have been very difficult for him to stay comfortable”.
Pierre will take off his suit after his new feathers grow back.
