I was happy to be home. But then I noticed that Penelope, who was 5 with us, was wearing my clothes. And my 6 seemed to like her better than me. I wondered if I would be 7 if I weren’t there. I told my mom, and she explained that 8 Penelope was a lovely girl, no one could 9 me. I pointed out, “She is more patient and is neater than I have ever been.” My mom said these were wonderful 10, but I was the only person who could fill my 11. She made me realize that even with my 12, ------ and they were many-----I was a loved member of the family who couldn’t be replaced.
I became a searcher, 13 who I was and what made me unique. My 14 of myself was changing. I wanted a solid base to start from. I started to resist pressure to 15 in ways that I didn’t like any more, and I 16 who I really was. I came to feel much more 17 that no one can ever take my place.
Each of us 18 a unique place in the world. You are special, no matter what others say or what you may think. So 19 about being replaced. You 20 be.

After attending a conference, I returned to my hotel room late one evening.The overhead light out- side my door was burned out and I had1finding the keyhole.When I2to open the door, I3around the wall for a light switch.I found a plate where a switch was4installed… but no switch!
Not discouraged easily, I remembered5a lamp by the bed when I deposited my luggage6in the day.I found the bed in the7and then the lamp, but when I switched it on ,nothing 8! I thought that perhaps if I opened the curtains I might be able to use whatever light comes in from the9to find another lamp.So I10my way slowly across the room to the curtains and …no drawstring! I finally stumbled (跌跌撞撞地) around11I found a desk lamp which actually 12!
That evening I discovered in a whole new way just how dark the world13be and how-necessary light is! But even more necessary than14light is the light that shines from people—the light of15and faith.Because, for many people, the world is a dark and16place.For someone today just may be stumbling in discouragement or sadness or fear and in17of some light.So let your light shine.Whatever light you18may be a beacon of hope and encouragement.And if you feel that your light is19a candle in a forest remember there isn’t enough darkness in all the world to20the light of one small candle.

The dog seemed to5his mushroom, and the officers then began to eat their meal, saying that the mushrooms had a very strange6 quite pleasant taste.

When they13to the police station, they sat down and started to14the mushroom poisoning. Each man explained the pains(痛苦) that15had felt and they agreed that these had grown worse on their16to the hospital. The gardener was17to tell the way in which the poor dog had died."

Tips to keep a hearty conversation flowing
On holidays we typically gather with our nearest and dearest. But1can be made, maintained and broken through the ways we talk to our loved2, according to Deborah Tannen, a George-town University professor in linguistics(语言学). She has suggestions as to how we can3communications at our festival dinner tables. Let’s take a look.
＊A round dinning table is best for promoting a4conversation because
everyone5each other.
＊Avoid6 grandparents at the ends of a rectangular(长方形的) table, even though it is the traditional place of7. Elderly people may feel lonely there if they are unable to hear or keep8 a conversation.
＊9 prefer to face each other and make eye contact when they talk. In contrast, men tend to look around at other things. “Guys may be more10keeping gazing on the TV,” says Tannen. “They’11 still be11, though.”
＊Be aware that people have different ways of talking. Each person has a different12 of tone, rhyme, timing and how13 of a pause is normal in a conversation. Watch for people who seem left14. If you feel you are doing all the talking, hold back to give others a15.If you feel you aren’t getting a chance to speak, try pushing yourself to start16.
＊People sometimes get upset on big festivals 17they stay too long in the apartment. Some families find that gatherings go more18 if they plan for some fun19. So why not get a breath of fresh air? Going to a park for a walk or taking a trip to the zoo may be more20 than just sitting around inside.

It was 4 o'clock in the morning, when I received the phone call.
“This is the emergency room calling and your son was just 1 in with severe burns on his face, neck and arms. We have called for a(n)2 and are going to fly him to the burn unit in Seattle.” Seattle was 350 miles from his college, so we knew immediately this was3 The doctor described the4, which caused the burns. At 6 am, our son and his friends decided to barbecue hamburgers in the courtyard of their apartment. When they 5 the charcoal(木炭),it burst into flames because they had sprayed too much gasoline(petrol).The flames6 my son’s shirt tail and shot from his waist to well over his head.
7, one of the boys was quick-minded, grasped my son, and8 him on the grass. While it saved his life, it was not in 9 to save him from severe burns and the terrible scars(伤疤).
After he10 from the treatments, the doctors told him they would not do plastic surgery(整容)for 6 months11 it takes that long for the skin to stop shrinking and wrinkling. So, he had to return to college with scars typical of severe burns.
When I was a child, my mother told my sister, who had a 10-inch very12 scar on her arm, “Nancy, if you ignore the scar, other people will ignore it. It does not mean they will not 13 it, but it means it will not matter to them if it doesn’t matter to you.”
I 14 this wisdom on to my son. He took my advice to 15 and returned to school with his head held high--glad he was alive.
By the end of the six-month waiting period, he decided that the scars did not16. So he made the17 to give up any plastic surgery. We all have “scars” that we believe18 people to keep away from us. And we spend a lot of time thinking that if only we looked differently, or dressed differently, people would like us better.  
But you see, people will only judge you by your looks, or your clothes, if you are judging yourself by these same19 standards. Put your imperfections out of your mind and concentrate on what you value20 yourself, and your beauty will shine through.
