A young man was about to finish school. For a long time he had   26   to get a beautiful sports car. He knew his father could well   27   it, so he  told him that a sports car was all he wanted.

    Then on the morning of his graduation（毕业）,he was called to his father’s room. His father told him how   28   he was to have such a fine son, and told him how   29   he loved him. He handed his son a beautiful gift box.  30  , the young man opened the box and found a lovely Bible（圣经）with his name on it. Angrily, he raised his   31   to his father and said, “With all your money you give me a Bible? ” He then   32   out of the house, leaving the Bible.

    Many years passed and the young man was very   33   in business, and had a beautiful home and a wonderful family.  34   that his father was very old, he thought perhaps he should go to see him. He had not seen him   35   that graduation day. Before he could go, he received a   36   telling him that his father had died. He had to go home immediately and take   37   of the things that his father left him.

    When he began to search through his father’s important

papers, he saw the still new Bible,   38      as he had left

it years ago. He opened the Bible and began to      39 

the pages. As he was reading, a car key with a tag（标牌）

dropped from the back of the Bible. On the tag was the 

  40      of his graduation, and the words “PAID IN

FULL”. Sadness and regret（悔恨）filled his heart.

And he told the   27 . He had photos of earthquakes, forest fires, floods and even wars. If something interesting happened, Denny went to photo it.

He was a married man and his wife often asked him to take her with him, but he always   28 .”I’ll travel for my work, not for   29 ,” he told her. “You won’t enjoy yourself, and I won’t have   30  to look after you. Sometimes there’s not even anywhere to   31 , and I have to sleep outside. I often don’t have a good   32  or a bath for days. You won’t like it.”

“Denny, I’m not a child,” his wife didn’t   33 . “I can look after myself. Please take me with you the next time you go overseas.”

Denny did not say anything, but he   34  about it, and when he was asked to go to Africa he said to his wife, “You can come to Africa with me if you want to. I’ve got to take photos of wild   35  there. It should be interesting and not too uncomfortable.”

His wife was very   36 , and at first she had a very enjoyable time.

Then Denny went to off to   37  some lions to photo. His wife went with him, but before long they became separated. She walked down one path while he walked down the other.

Quickly Denny took his camera out of its case and   39  it at his wife and the lion.

Then he shouted, “  40 , woman! I can’t get you both in the picture!”

One day,one of the toad’s teeth got bad.Day by day,all the teeth in his 33 got bad.The toad decided to start looking after them,but it was too 34  .And when he 35  his last tooth,he couldn’t speak any more.

When I was 16 years old, a boy gave me an important gift. It was a  26  .
It was the early autumn of my first year at a junior high school, and my old school was far away.   2 7 a result, no one knew I was. I was very  28 , and afraid to make friends with anyone.
Every time I   29 the other students talking and laughing. I felt my heart 30 . I couldn’t talk to anyone about my problems. An who d I didn’t want my parents to 31 me.
Then one day, my classmates talked  32 with their friends, but I sat at my desk unhappily as usual.   33  , a boy entered the classroom. I didn’t know  34 he was. He passed me and then   35 . He looked at me, without a word, but a smile.
  36 , I felt the touch of something bright and friendly. It made me feel happy and 37 .
That smile changed my life. I started to talk with other students and made friends. Day by day, I became   38  to everyone in my class. The boy with the lucky smile has become my best friend now.
One day I asked him why he smiled, but he couldn’t remember  39 at me!
It doesn’t matter   40  all the dark days have gone. I believe that the world is what you think it is. If you think you are lonely, you might always be alone. So smile at the world and it will smile back.
