10.Around twenty years ago I was living in York.(21)Though I had a lot of experience and a Master's degree,I could not find (22)satisfying work.
I was(23)driving a school bus to make ends meet and (24)living with a friend of mine,for I had lost my flat.I had(25)attended five interviews (面试) with a company and one day between bus runs they called to say I did not(26)get the job."Why has my life become so(27)hard?"I thought painfully.
As I pulled the bus over to(28)dropoff a little girl,she handed me an earring (29)saying I should keep it(30)incase somebody claimed (认领) it.The earring was painted black and said"BE HAPPY".
At first I got angry.Then it(31)hit me-I had been giving all of my(32)attention to what was going wrong with my(33)life rather than what was right!I decided then and there to make a(34)list of fifty things I was happy with.Later,I decided to(35)add more things to the list.That night there was a phone call for(36)me from a lady who was a director at a larger(37)hospital.She asked me if I would(38)restaurant a one-day lecture on stress (压力) management to 200medical workers.I said yes.
My (39)day there went very well,and before long I got a well-paid job.To this day I know that it was because I changed my way of(40)thinking that I completely changed my life.

9.I met Mrs.Neidl in the ninth grade on a stage-design team for a play and she was one of the directors.Almost instantly I loved her.She had an Unpleasant voice and a direct way of speaking,(36)yet she was encouraging and inspiring.For some reason,she was impressed with my work and me.
Mrs.Neidl would ask me for my (37)opinion.She wanted to know how I thought we should (38)handle things.At first I had no idea how to answer because I knew(39)nothing about stage design!But I slowly began to respond to her(40)questions.It was cause and effect:She believed I had opinions,so I began to (41)form them.She trusted me to complete things,so I completed them perfectly.She loved how(42)reliable I was,so I began to show up to paint more and more.She believed in me,so I began to believe in myself.
Mrs.Neidl's (43)motto that year was,"Try it.We can always paint over it (44)later!"I began to take(45)risks.I had been so afraid of failing but suddenly there was no failing--only things to be(46)improved upon.I learned to dip my brush into the paint and (47)confidently create something.
The shy,quiet freshman achieved success that year.I was(48)recognized in the program as"Student Art Assistant"because of the time and effort I'd put in.It was that yea r that I(49)realized I wanted to spend the rest of my life doing stage design.
Being on that stage-design team(50)with Mrs.Neidl changed me completely.Not only was I stronger and more competent than I had thought,but I also (51)discovered a strong interest and a world I hadn't known existed.She taught me not to (52)care what people think I should do:She taught me to take chances and not be (53)afraid.Mrs.Neidl was my comforter when I was upset.Her (54)trust in me has inspired me to do things that I never imagined(55)possible.

7.I went to a group activity,"Sensitivity Sunday",which was to make us more(36)aware of the problems faced by disabled people.We were asked to"(37)adopt a disability"for several hours one Sunday.Some members,(38)like me,chose to use wheelchairs.Others wore sound-blocking earplugs(耳塞)or blindfolds(眼罩).
Just sitting in the wheelchair was a(39)learning experience.I had never considered before how(40)awkward it would be to use one.As soon as I sat down,my (41)weight made the chair begin to roll.Its wheels were not (42)locked.Then I wondered where to put my (43)feet.It took me quite a while to get the metal footrest into(44)place.I took my first uneasy look at what was to be my only means of (45)transportation for several hours.For disabled people,"adopting a wheelchair"is not a temporary(临时的)(46)experiment.
I tried to find a (47)comfortable position and thought it might be restful,(48)even kind of nice,to be(49)pushed around for a while.Looking around,I(50)realized I would have to handle the thing myself?My hands started to ache as I(51)turned the heavy metal wheels.I came to know that controlling the (52)direction of the wheelchair was not going to be a(n) (53)easy task.
My wheelchair experiment was soon (54)finished.It made a deep impression on me.A few hours of"disability"gave me only a taste of the (55)anxieties,both physical and mental,that disabled people must overcome.

4.Joe Simpson and Simon Yates were the first people to climb the West Face of the Siula Grande in the Andes mountains.They reached the top (36)successfully,but on their way back conditions were very(37)difficult.Joe fell and broke his leg.They both knew that if Simon(38)continued alone,he would probably get back(39)safely.But Simon decided to risk his (40)life and try to lower Joe down the mountain on a rope(绳).
As they (41)went down,the weather got worse.Then another(42)trouble occurred.They couldn't see or hear each other and,(43)by mistake,Simon lowered his friend over the edge of a precipice(峭壁).It was(44)impossible for Joe to climb back or for Simon to pull him up.Joe's(45)weight was pulling Simon slowly towards the precipice.(46)Finally,after more than an hour in the dark and the icy cold,Simon had to(47)make a decision.In tears,he cut the rope.Joe(48)fell into a large crevasse(裂缝)in the ice below.He had no food or water and he was in terrible pain.He couldn't walk,but he(49)hoped to get out of the crevasse and started to (50)move towards their camp,nearly ten kilometers(51)away.
Simon had(52)returned to the camp at the foot of the mountain.He thought that Joe must be(53)dead,but he didn't want to leave(54)immediately.Three days later,in the middle of the night,he heard Joe's voice.He couldn't(55)believe it.Joe was there,a few meters from their tent,still alive.
