I once had a teacher whose husband died of heart attack. About a week after his death, she shared some of her __36___ understanding with students. __37___ the late afternoon sunlight came shinning in and the class was nearly __38___, she moved a few things aside on the edge of her __39___and sat down there.
With a gentle look of reflection(反思) on her face, she paused and said, “Class is over. I would like to   40  with all of you, a thought that is __41___to class, but which I feel is very __42___.”
“Each of us is put here on earth to learn, share, love and give of ourselves. __43___of us knows when this fantastic experience will end. It can be __44___at any moment. Perhaps this is the Power’s way of telling us that we must make the __45___of every single day.”
Her eyes were __46___ to water, but she went on, “So I would like you all to make me a __47___.From now on, on your way to school, or on your way home, find something beautiful to __48___. It could be the __49___of the breeze (微风)slightly rustling the leaves in the trees, or the way the morning light catches one autumn leaf as it __50___gently to the ground.
“Please look for these things, and ___51__them. It is the __52___things that we are put here on earth to enjoy. We must make it important to notice them, for at __53___it can all be taken away.” The class was completely __54___. We all picked up our books and walked out of the room silently. That __55___, I noticed more things on my way home from school than I had that whole semester.
Remember, life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

Few buildings on earth can compete with the legendary beauty of the Taj Mahal. Towering over the ancient Indian city of Agra, the Taj Mahal is the grandest monument (纪念碑) to love ever created.
The lovers in this story are the 17th century Indian emperor Shah Jehan and his wife Mumtaz Mahal. She took a leading role in advising him, which is something unusual for a woman to do for a husband who’s an emperor. Over the course of their nineteen-year marriage she gave birth to 14 children. But in 1631 while trying to deliver their fifteenth — she tragically died. He was heartbroken when she died. And after her death, he decided to build the world’s greatest monument ever built, for love.
He ordered the royal architects to design the most beautiful building the world had known and decided to name it after his beloved, Mumtaz Mahal. He called on twenty thousand workers and sent many more people to all corners of his country in search of valuable metals and jewels. And after seventeen years of hard work, Shah Jehan’s monument was completed and his beloved empress was moved to her final resting place.
Everything had gone according to plan, but Shah Jehan’s luck was about to change ... In 1658, just four years after the completion of the Taj Mahal, he was thrown out of power. Unfortunately, his son, Aran Azibe imprisoned him, his own father. And he spent the last seven years of his life in prison. And he was allowed to look at the Taj Mahal through a window. His life was in ruins, but when he died his last wish was promised. He was buried beside his beloved wife in the Taj Mahal.
