My 14-year-old brother John dreamed of having a black woolen coat, for at that time this kind of coat was 31　 with teenagers, but it could cost several hundred dollars. One day my brother and I went into a shop and saw a black woolen coat at the same time. The coat felt very soft, and it cost only ＄28. It was　 32　 but so nice. We looked at each other, saying nothing, but John’s eyes shone.

　　　 John tried on the coat and　 33　 it at once. John wore the coat to school the next day happily and came home with a big　 34 . “How do the kids like your coat?” I asked. “They love it,” he said. I started to call him “Lord (老爷) John”.

　　　 Over the next few weeks, there seemed to be a　 35　 in John. He became more polite, more confident and more pleasing. He would 36　 his classmates his pens; he would bring his father a cup of tea when he got home; he would　 37　 a blind man cross the road.

　　　 When my mother talked about her son’s change with one of his teachers and wondered what caused it, he said, “It must be his 38 !” One day, in the library, my brother and I happened to meet a friend of my father’s, who had not seen us for a long time. John came up and shook hands with him like a 39 ! The friend said in surprise, “Are you John? You have changed so much!”

　　　 What really changed John was his own attitude(态度).　 40　 you think you are a gentleman or a lady, you can become a perfect one.

　　 When I was in primary school, I had a big arguement with a boy in my class. l can't　 31 　what it was about, but I have never forgotten the　 32 I learned that day.

　　 I was sure that I was right and he was wrong.　 33 , he strongly believed that I was wrong and he was right. The teacher decided to teach us a lesson. She　 34　 a good idea. She brought both of us to the front of the class and placed him on one side of her grey desk and me on 35 　 In the middle of the desk was a large, round object. It was　 36　 for me to see that it was black. She asked the boy what color the object was. " 37," he answered in a loud voice.

　　 I couldn't　 38　 that the object was whites considering that it was certainly black! One more arguement started between the boy and me, this time 　39　 the color of the object.

　　 The teacher told me to go stand where the key was standing and told him to come stand where I had been. We changed　 40 , and then she asked me what the color of the object was. I 41 answer, "White. " It was then that I knew what was wrong. It was an object with two　 42　 colored sides, and from .his side it was white.　 43　 from my side was it black.

　　 My teacher taught 'me a very important 1.esson that day: You must " 44　 in other person's position (位置) and look at the 45　 through their eyes in order to truly understand their ideas.

How do I like to travel?

　　Many people like to travel by plane, but I don’t like it because an airport is usually far from the city. You have to get there early and wait for hours for the plane to take off and it is often late. you can’t open the window. You can’t choose（选择；挑选） the food. Planes are fast, but they still take hours to get out of the airport and into the city.

　　I like traveling by train. I think trains are safe. Railway stations are usually in cities. When you are late for a train you can catch（赶上） another one .you can walk around in the train and open the windows. You can see many interesting things on your way. I know it takes a little more time.

　　I also like cars. You can start your journey when you want to, and you don’t need to get to a railway station or a bus stop. Also you can carry(携带；拿) many things with you in a car. But sometimes there are too many cars on the road.
