Adults usually do not remember most of the things that are taught by their teachers at school. But this story is one   16  that I will never forget.
It was a normal Monday morning, and my teacher was teaching us about  17  things in life and about devoting ourselves to what we really need. This is how the story went:
  18   lived in a certain part of London, and he would wake up every morning and go to the underground. He would get onto the train right to Central London, and then sit at the street corner and   19 . He would do this every single day of his life. He sat at  20 street corner and begged for almost 20 years.
His  21  was dirty, and a stench （恶臭） came out. The neighbors could not bear the  22 any more, so they called for the police officers to clear the place. The officers knocked down the door and  23 the house. There were small bags of  24  all over the house that he had collected over the years.
The police counted the money, and they soon   25 that the old man was a millionaire. They waited outside his house expecting to  26  the good news with him. When the old man arrived home that evening, one of the officers told him that there was no need for him to beg any more as he was a   27 man now, a millionaire.
But the old man said  28  ;he went into his house and locked the door. The next morning he woke up  29  ,went to the underground, sat at the same street corner and continued to beg.
Clearly, this old man had no great plans,  30   or anything significant (重大的) for his life. We learn nothing from this story but to stay focused on the things we enjoy doing.

Adults usually do not remember most of the things that are taught by their teachers at school. But this story is one such    16     that I will never forget. Every time I drift off course, I think of this story.

    An old man lived in a certain part of London, and he would wake up every morning and go to the sub-way. He would    19    the train right to Central London, and then sit at the street corner and   20  . He would do this every single day of his life. He sat at  21   street corner and begged for almost 20 years.

    His  22    was dirty, and a stench came out and it smelled terrible. The neighbors could not stand the smell any more, so they called for the police officers to clear the place. The officers knocked down the door and cleaned the house. There were small bags of  23   all over the house  24   he had collected over the years.

    The police counted the money, and they soon   25  that the old man was a millionaire. They waited outside his house expecting to ___26__ the good news with him.

    But the old man said  28   ; he went into his house and locked the door. The next morning he woke up  29 , went to the subway, sat at the street corner and continued to beg.

    Clearly, this old man had no great plans,  30   or anything significant for his life. We learn nothing from this story other than staying focused on the things we enjoy doing.

Sheila bought a new lunch bag for school.
On the way to school, she looked inside. She hoped that a new lunch bag meant something new for lunch,1she found the same lunch as always---a sandwich.
When the lunch bell rang. Sheila found her bag and carried it to the dining hall. She opened it and2two pieces of fried chicken, several strawberries, and an egg.
“Wow!” Sheila said, “That’s what I call3!”
The next morning, Sheila opened her lunch bag and looked inside. Sure enough, she found another4. But when she opened the bag at lunchtime in the dining hall, she discovered a piece of pizza, an orange, and a cake.
“My lunch bag5be magic,” Sheila said.
“There’s no such thing as magic,” her friend Douglas6.
“There is,” Sheila said. “My mother 7packs me a sandwich. But ever since I got this new lunch bag, the sandwich has changed into something I like.”
“Maybe your mother’s packing8things for a change.”
“No,” Sheila said. “I checked in the morning. The sandwich changes9.”
“You are not the10one with a magic lunch bag,” Beatrice said, turning around from the table behind her. “I have one, too. See? This is my magic bag.”
“Hey,” Sheila said. “My lunch bag really looks like yours.”
“Mine is magic,” said Beatrice. “Every day my dad11leftovers(剩饭), but at lunchtime I find a sandwich---my favorite!”
Sheila started 12.
