7.I had worried myself sick over Simon's mother coming to see me.I was a new (21)teacher,and I gave an honest account of the students'work.In Simon's case,the grades were awfully low.He couldn't read his own handwriting.(22)But he was a bright student.He discussed adult subjects with nearly adult comprehension.His work in no way reflected his(23)abilities.
So when Simon's mother entered the room,my palms(手掌心) were sweating.I was completely(24)unprepared for her lisses on both my cheeks."I came to thank you,"she said,surprising me beyond speech.(25)Becauseof me,Simon had become a different person.He talked of how he(26)loved me,he had began to make friends,and for the first time in his twelve years,he had (27)recently spent an afternoon at a friend's house.She wanted to tell me how grateful she was for the(28)self-respectI had nurtured(培养) in her son.She kissed me again and left.
I sat,stunned (惊呆),for about half an hour,(29)wondering what had just happened.How did I make such a life-changing difference to that boy without (30)even knowing it?What I finally came to(31)remember was one day,several months before,when some students were(32)giving reports in the front of the class,Jeanne spoke(33)quietly,and to encourage her to raise her voice,L had sai,"Speak up.Simon's the expert on this.He is the (34)only one you have to convince,and he can't hear you in the(35)back of the room."That was it.From that day on,Simon had sat up straighter,paid more attention,(36)smiled more,and became happy.And it was all because he(37)happenedto be the last kid in the last row.The boy who most needed (38)praise was the one who took the last seat that day.
It taught me the most(39)valuable lesson over the years of my teaching career,and I'm thankful that it came (40)early and positively.A small kindness can indeed make a difference.

6.I was required to read one of Bernie Siegel's books in college and was hooked on his positivity from that moment on.The stories of his unconventional(36)ideasand the exceptional patients he wrote about were so(37)amazingto me and had such a big(38)impact on how I saw life from then on.Who knew that so many years later I would look to Dr.Bernie and his CDs again to )(39)getthrough my own cancer experience?
I'm an ambitious(40)writer,and when I started going through chemo (化疗),even though I'm a very(41)positive person,I lost my drive to write.I was just too tired and not in the(42)mood.One day,while waiting to go in for (43)treatment,I had one of Dr.Bernie's books in my hand.Another patient (44)noticed what I was reading and struck up a conversation with me(45)because he had one of his books with him as well.It (46)turnedoutthat among other things,he was an eighty-year-old writer.He was(47)actually a published author,and he was currently (48)working on a new book.
We would see each other at various times and(49)became friends.Sometimes he wore a duck hat,and I would tell myself,he was definitely a(n) (50)fanof Dr.Bernie.He really put a (51)smile on my face.He unfortunately(52)passedawaylast year due to his cancer,(53)buthe left a deep impression on me and gave me the(54)inspirationto pick up my pen again.I(55)thought to myself,"If he can do it,then so can I."

5.It was a rainy morning and the children,mainly boys with various learning difficulties,refused to settle for the start of the lesson.As an inexperienced teacher,I tried every means to get them to be (36)quiet,but in vain.my panic was rising and I could feel my heart beating wildly.This was the (37)end of my job as a music teacher,I thought--teaching was not for me.Then I had an idea.Hoping that no one would notice that I was(38)shaking inside,I threw my voice as far as it would reach:"Put your heads on the desks and close your(39)eyes!We are going on a journey."(40)
Amazingly,the children fell silent."Now what should I do?"I thought to myself.Reaching over to my collection of CDs,I blindly (41)tookoneout,put it in the machine and played it.
Obediently (顺从地),my class lay their heads on their desk,closed their eyes and(42)waited.When the music started,the room as filled with the most beautiful tones and musical colors I could have ever imagined.All the children were (43)listening.When the music finished,I asked them all to raise their(44)heads slowly so that we could share our musical journey.
At this point,when all the children were willing to share their experiences,I began to learn how to (45)teach.The music allow me to learn that teaching is about sharing and respect,tears and smiles,the knowing and the(46)unknown and most of all,an understanding of each other.This was the power that (47)music in the classroom could have.

1."Daily Star,sir"called Jason,carrying some newspapers under his arm.The little boy had been running up and down the street,but there were still twenty(31)papersleft.His voice was almost gone and his heart was(32)heavy.The shops would soon close,and all the people would go home.He would have to go home too,carrying the papers(33)insteadofmoney.He had hoped to sell more papers tonight to make more money to buy a(34)cakefor his mother and some seeds for his bird.That was why he had bought the papers with all his money.He(35)brokedownas he thought of his failure to sell all his papers.
"You don't know the(36)secretof selling papers.You must shout,"Hot news!Bomb bursting!"another newsboy Chad told Jason."(37)Butit's not in the paper at all,"replied Jason."Just run away quickly(38)beforethey have time to see,and you'll (39)sell out and get your money,"Chad said.
It was a new(40)editionto Jason.He thought of his bird with no(41)seedsand the cake he wanted to buy for his mother,but was(42)determinedthat he would not tell a lie.Though he was (43)justa poor newsboy,he had been(44)taught some good things.
The next afternoon Jason went to the office for his papers(45)asusual.Several boys were crowding around Chad,who declared with a(46)proudsmile that he sold six dozen the day before.He added that Jason(47)lostmoney because he would not tell a lie.The boy(48)laughedat Jason."You wouldn't tell a lie yesterday,my boy?"A gentleman at the office came up and patted Jason's shoulder(49)fondly."You're just the boy I am looking for."A week later Jason started his new(50)job.He lost sale of twenty papers because he would not tell a lie,but got a well-paid job because he told the truth.
