I ran into a stranger as he passed by. “I’m so sorry!” was my reply. Then he said. “Excuse me too——I wasn’t    21  watching  for you.” We were very polite, this stranger and I. Then we went   22  our way after saying goodbye.

But at   23  , a different story is told. How we treat our loved ones, young and old. Later in the kitchen, as I   24  our meal, my daughter walked up to me , very still. When I turned, I   25  knocked her down. “Get out of the way!” I shouted with a frown. She stepped away silently, with her little heart   26  . I didn’t realize how harshly I had spoken.

That night, when I lay   27  in bed, God’s quiet voice spoke to me, “While   28  with a stranger, you are calm and polite, but with those you love, you are QUICK to excite—Go look around on the kitchen floor, you will find some flowers there by the   29  . Those are the flowers she brought for you. She   30  them herself—pink, yellow, and your favorite blue. She stood there quietly, and you never saw the   31  in her eyes.”

By this time, I felt sad and small and now my own tears had begun to fall. I quietly went and knelt by her   32  , “Wake up, my dear,” I said. “Are these the flowers you picked up for me?” She smiled, “I found them out by the tree. I  33  them in a napkin, just for you. I knew you’d like them, especially the   34  .” I said, “I am so sorry that I missed them today—and I   35  have fussed（发牢骚）at you that way.”

Do you know that: if you die tomorrow, the   37  you are working for could easily replace you in a matter of days. But the family you leave   38  will feel the loss for the rest of their lives. And come to think of it, we pour ourselves more into our   39  than into our families—an unwise investment indeed.

I was walking down the road one day when my cell phone rang.  21  voice on the other end spoke to me, “Dad, please come back soon. I miss you so much!” I judged that it was a  22  number.

During the following days, I got the same call  25 . But I didn’t care much about it.

    Then one day she constantly called me,  26  I didn’t answer. Finally I answered the phone and heard a weak voice, “Dad, please come back. I miss you so much! Dad, I’m  27  so much pain! Mom said you were too busy to take  28  of me. But, dad, please  29  me again, OK?” The innocent(天真的, 无邪的)  30  was difficult to reject（拒绝）. I made a  31  kiss on the phone and heard the weak voice say, “Thank you…Dad, I am so…happy, so…happy…”

    Shortly after this, I became  32  about who had been on the other end of my phone. So I called back, and a woman answered, “Sorry, sir. I am really sorry to have  33  you. My daughter has suffered from bone cancer  34  she was born. And her father…died in an  35  a short while ago. I dare not tell her this  36 . Poor baby. When she couldn’t  37  the painful chemotherapy(化疗), she would cry for her dad, who had always  38  her. I really couldn’t bear it, so I gave her a random(随意的) phone number…”

    “How is your daughter now?” I couldn’t wait to  39 .

    “She has  40 . You must have kissed her on the phone, because she went with a smile, tightly holding the cell phone…”

Once upon a time there were two brothers who lived near each other. One day, they had a ___16___ because of some small things. And neither was willing to ___17___ each other.

One morning, there was a knock at door of the elder brother. He  18  it and found a man standing beside the door. “I’m a carpenter(木匠). I’m  19__ a few days’ work. Perhaps you would have a few small jobs I could help with.”  

“Yes,” said the elder brother. “I do have a job for you. ___20___ at that farm across the small river. It is my younger brother’s. We had a quarrel, so I won’t like to see his __21___ anymore. I want you to build me a 8-foot ___22___.” 

The man said, “I think I understand the situation. Don’t worry. I’ll be able to do a job that makes you __23__.” So the elder brother was very glad and left for the town nearby.

In the evening, the carpenter had just ___24___ his job when the elder brother returned. But he was __25___ to find, instead of a fence, before him, stood a __26____, which went from one side of the river ___27__ the other! On the other __28____ of bridge, was his younger brother.

“Do you know the name of the bridge?” The carpenter asked.

“No,” the elder brother was __29___.  

“OK, I can tell you. Its name is understanding and __30___,” the carpenter smiled.

Suddenly they began to understand ___31___. Surely, between two brothers there should be a bridge rather than a _32____. Standing on the bridge, they _33___ each other’s hands with ____34__ in their eyes. 

  “Could you stay another few days? I’ve a lot of other work for you,” said the elder brother. “I’d love to ___35___ on,” the carpenter said. “But I have many more bridges to build.”

It’s very easy to see why people have bad attitudes. A quick look at the news revealing _21___ with crime, war and corruption (腐败) can easily bring us down. Is it possible to _22__ a healthy, happy attitude when surrounded by these negative things?

   Sure it is! It is possible to wake up each morning with a good mood and _23__ the day. Having a positive _24__not only allows us to enjoy life more but also _25__ our health and relationships with others.

   To lead a happy life, we need to have a positive attitude. We are responsible for our own _26__; other people can’t make us happy. We need to decide to make ourselves happy. This is wonderful because we don’t have to wait around for someone else to do it for us.

   We should surround ourselves with __27_ people. We are influenced by those people with whom we spend the most time. When we have positive friends, we become positive. Otherwise, we become _28__.

   We should also use positive_29__. A. L. Kitselman once said, “‘I am…’ are powerful words; be careful when you use them.” We need to replace our negative self-talk with positive words. Don’t say “I hate getting up in the morning.” Instead, try to say “I am _30__to see a new day.” Changing our self-talk will lead us to the changes in our behavior.
