He lost his arms in an accident that caused the death of his father. Then his1became his shadow, never leaving him alone for years. 2 writing with his toes, he was completely unable to do anything in his life.
As the two brothers grew up together, they had their3of problems and they would often quarrel. Then one day, his younger brother decided to4separate from him, living his own life as many5people do. So he was heart-broken and didn’t know what to do.
A 6misfortune happened to a girl, too. One night she tried to 7meals for her sick mother, only to overturn the kerosene light on the stove, resulting in a fire which took her 8away.
Though her elder sister in another city9her willingness to take care of her, she was 10to learn to be completely independent. At school, she11studied hard.
One day, the boy and the girl were both invited to 12 on a television interview program and asked to13something on a piece of paper with their toes. The boy wrote:My younger brother’s arms are my arms;14the girl wrote: Broken wings, flying heart.
They had both15the same pain, but their different attitudes determined the nature of their lives. It is true that life is unpredictable(难以预料). Disasters can strike at 16 time. If you choose only to complain and17, it will always follow you 18you go. But if you decide to be 19, the hard moment will 20 to be one when new hopes will arise.

The new principal decided that he’d better first take a secret 1 before doing something about Class 5A , which was the worst class in Hill Valley High School.He didn’t need to be informed 2 the class was , for 3were leading the way.
The door was shut from inside.The lock it had was missing , 4 knocked off , just leaving a 5 for the principal.
Though the principal had 6badly behaved classes before , what appeared through the 7 was till a shock for him.It was a scene that was 8 seen in action films.But he knew what to do.He 9 go into the classroom , take hold of the 10 boy and punished him.This would be an example to the others.
He took a deep breath and then 11 open the classroom door.He had been prepared for the scene that there should be a shock of 12 , but few treated him as an important 13 , and some even paid little attention to his existence.
“ Silence ! ” he shouted at the top of his voice.This time it was really 14.They stopped what they were doing and stared at him.Quickly he walked up to the 15 boy in the room , who he 16had been playing an important part and also had been shouting at the others at the top of his voice.
He seized the boy by the ear and 17 him to the front of the class.
“ I’m going to punish you as an example to the rest , ” he said.“ Now go to my office and wait for me.”
Then he turned to the class and 18them about how to behave in school.
To 19 his speech , he said , “ Does anyone have any questions ? ”
One of the students put up her hand.“ Yes , sir.I have.When can you free my 20 back to continue his class ? ”

As far back as I can remember, I’ve always known that my brother was different. At first I thought this was a1 thing. But when I got older I learned the truth. My brother had autism (孤独症) and Attention Deficit Disorder (儿童多动症) — serious2 conditions. At 15, he3 like a 7-year-old child. When he was little, I didn’t4 it as much. But as he got older, it became more obvious. When something didn’t go his5 , he got angry and it took hours to6 him down. He would talk to himself and play with string. We could never7 to give him his medicine, otherwise he’d go wild. I was always8 when we took him anywhere, and I never wanted to bring any of my friends9 with me.
When I was 10, I felt like I couldn’t10 it any more. I’d shout at him for being different and would ask11 he couldn’t be normal. Of course, he had no12 what I was talking about. It became very hard,13 when a friend of mine didn’t want to come over14her mom had said my brother was dangerous. Our fights15 up until one day he came up to me. He gave me a big16 , like he was saying, “I don’t know what I did17 , but I hope you still love me.” At that moment I realized that I’d better learn to18 him.
As I’ve gotten older, I’ve learned how19 I really am. Having him as a brother has made me kinder and more patient. No matter how busy my20 is, he’11 always listen to my problems. I worry about his future, but I know he’11 always be loved.

A recent survey found that 40% of British teens drank at least once every month and that younger teens were often 2 to take their first drink by older friends.
As one teen said, "When you're with all your friends and having a good time, if someone gets out some alcohol you just 3 it and drink."
The government believes part of the problem is the availability of 4 alcohol and has introduced a law to ban such drinks. Others oppose the law because they say it 5 targets poorer drinkers.
One young drinker interviewed thinks price is 6 and that teens, determined to get drunk, will find a way. But alcohol expert Professor Martin Plant says the evidence supporting the new law is 7. He said, "The science is absolutely clear. Putting in a minimum price will 8 alcohol consumption by young drinkers. This is the first real development that offers the 9 of cutting the size of the alcohol problem, and luckily the government has 10 the opportunity."

Because true workaholism would rather work than do anything else, they5have no idea of how to relax; that is, they might not 6movies, sports, or other types of entertainment. Most of all, they 7 to sit and do nothing.

About ten years ago, I was on a plane going west, and a young woman 1and sat across the aisle (过道) from me. I noticed her for two reasons. She was very attractive, and she was holding a teddy bear about half her2. I teased her by asking if she had a3for the bear.She laughed and said no.
About halfway through the flight she4over and told me she was going to Tucson to enter rehab(康复治疗). She5to share her life story with me. She had been working as a dancer in a nightclub. That6had led her down a dark7to drugs and alcohol. As I listened to her story, I was 8at all she had gone through. I listened to all she shared and told her I was sure she was going to9it. At the end of the10, she thanked me for listening to her.
A few years later, I got a11in the mail saying, “Wow, it’s been five years since we met on that plane. It is12how you touched my life.” She went on to tell me that she had13to stay away from drugs, and had been working for a radio station. She felt she had achieved things she could not have14that
day on the plane. We agreed to set up a time to get15.
When I saw her, she was16 the attractive young woman I remembered. She told me that that little17we had had turned her life around. She had got on the plane18anything would work in her life, and my affirmation of her as a person and of her19had given her the last bit of20she needed to work through her problems.
The young woman taught me it’s never too late to make a new start in life.

There was once a boy called Mario who loved to have loads of friends. He always 1off how many friends he had at school. One day his grandfather said to him, “Mario, I2you a big bag of popcorn that you don’t have as many friends as you think. I’m sure many of them are nothing more than companions.”
Mario3the bet without hesitation. However, he wasn’t sure how to test4his schoolmates were real friends or not, so he asked his grandfather. The old man answered, “Wait a minute.” Then the old man left,5soon as though carrying something in his hands, but Mario could see6there.
“Take it. It’s a very special chair because it’s invisible (看不见). It’s rather7to sit on it, but if you take it to school and8to sit on it, you’11 activate (激活)its magic and you’11 be able to9who your real friends are. ”
Mario, brave and determined, took the10and set off for school. At break time he asked everyone to form a(n)11, and he put himself in the middle, with his chair. Having difficulty seeing it, Mario tried to sit on it and12straight onto his backside. Everyone around him had a pretty good laugh.
“Wait！Let me try again,” Mario said. But again, he missed the seat,13more surprised looks and a few catcalls (尖叫，喝倒彩). Mario didn’t14and kept trying to sit on the magic chair. But he kept falling onto the ground…until，15he tried again but didn’t fall. Looking around, Mario saw three of his best friends16him up. Meanwhile, many others he had17as friends had done nothing but make18of him.
And there, the show19to an end. Mario understood that true friends were those who20for him, and not just the companions that happened to be passing by. And someone who took joy in his misfortunes (不幸) was even less of a friend.

One Saturday afternoon, my daughter Alice asked me, “Are all people the same even if they are different in color?”
I thought for a minute, and then I said, “I’ll explain, 1 you can just wait until we make a quick 2 at the grocery store（杂货店）. I have something 3 to show you. ”
At the grocery store, we4 some apples --- red, green and yellow ones. Back home, I told Alice, “It’s time to 5 your question.” I put one apple of each 6on the table. Then I looked at Alice, who had a 7 look on her face.
“People are like apples. They come in all 8colors, shapes and sizes. On the 9, some of the apples may not 10 look as the others. ” As I was talking, Alice was 11 each one carefully.
Then, I took each of the apples and peeled（削皮）them, 12 them back on the table, but 13
“Okay, Alice, tell me which is which.”
She said, “I 14 tell. They all look the same now. ” “Take a bite of 15. See if that helps you 16 which one is which. ”
She took 17, and then a huge smile came across her face. “People are 18 like apples! They are all different, but once you 19 the outside, they’re pretty much the same on the inside. ”
She totally 20 it. I didn’t need to say or do anything else.

My family was8.We paid our debts.But before harvest，cash was short.Would the store owner9 us?
At Davis’s store，Buck Davis stood behind the cash desk，talking to a farmer.I nodded10 I passed him on my way to the hardware shelves.When I brought my11 to the cash desk，I said12，“I need to put this on credit.”
The farmer gave me an amused，distrustful13.But Buck’s face didn’t change.“Sure，” he said14.“Your daddy is15 good for it.” He16 to the other man.“This here is one of James Williams’s sons.”
The farmer nodded in a neighborly17.I was filled with pride.James Williams’s son.Those three words had opened a door to an adult’s respect and trust.
