　　His question 　　3　　 me of something I'd read somewhere before, “Every morning when you 　　4　　 up, you have a 　　5　　 about how you want to face life that day．” I smiled and said to myself, “I choose to be cheerful．”

　　“Let me give you a(n)　　6　　,” I said．“In addition to teaching here, I also teach in another college, 17 miles down the freeway from where I live．A few weeks ago, I 　　7　　 those 17 miles to the school．I only had to 　　8　　 another quarter mile to reach the school, but then my car 　　9　　．I tried to start it again, but the engine wouldn't start．So I took my 　　10　　 and walked to school．”

　　“As soon as I got there, I called the garage and arranged for a tow truck(拖车)to meet me at my car 　　11　　 class．The headmaster asked me what had happened．“This is my 　　12　　 day,” I replied cheerfully．“Your car is broken and today is your lucky day?” she was 　　13　　．“What do you mean?” “I live 17 miles from here,” I replied．“My car could have broken down 　　14　　 along the freeway, but it didn't．　　15　　, it broke down in the perfect place：off the freeway and 　　16　　 walking distance from here．I'm still able to teach my class, and able to arrange for a tow truck to meet me．” The headmaster's eyes were 　　17　　 open and then she smiled．

I played a tennis game against my cousin Ed last week．It was one of the most 　　1　　 and tiring games I’ve ever had．When Ed first phoned and 　　2　　 we play, I laughed quietly, figuring on an 　　3　　 victory．After all, Ed’s idea of 　　4　　 has always been nothing more 　　5　　 than lifting a fork to his mouth．　　6　　 I can remember, Ed’s been the least physically fit member in the family and 　　7　　 proud of himself．His big stomach has always ballooned out between his T-shirt and trousers．Although the family often 　　　8　 about that．I’d refused to buy a 　　9　　 T-shirt or to lose weight．So when Ed 　　10　　 for our game not only with the bottom of his shirt gathered inside his trousers but also with a stomach you could hardly 　　11　　．I was so surprised that I was 　　12　　．My cousin must have made an effort to get himself into shape．　　13　　, at the point in our game when I’d have predicted(预计)the score to be about 9 to 1 in my favor, it was 　　14　　 7 to 9－and　Ed was 　　15　　．The sudden realization was painful．We 　　16　　 to play like two mad men．When the score was 16 up．I was having serious 　　17　　 about staying alive until 21 years old．Let alone 　　18　　 that many points．When the game finally ended, both of us were lying flat on our backs, too tired to 　　19　　．In a way, I think we both won：I the game, but cousin Ed my 　　20　　．

　　One of the most common social fears is that we are not good enough．Perhaps you feel you won’t 　　1　　 others because they are more confident, successful, intelligent or attractive than you．Such thinking is misguided．The 　　2　　 of doing well is accepting yourself as you are．

　　When I was a student, I kept a diary filled with 　　3　　 memories．Some were painful memories from 　　4　　 when I felt hurt, confused, lonely and insecure．I 　　5　　 pieces of dreams and personal feelings of anger and hatred, 　　6　　 things I enjoyed such as magic shops and coin dealers．

　　Then a terrible thing happened．　　7　　 dinner one night I realized I had left my diary in the cloakroom(衣帽间)outside the campus dining hall．　　8　　 that somebody might read it and find out the truth about me, I 　　9　　 back, but it was gone．

　　Weeks passed, and eventually I gave up hope of ever finding it 　　10　　．A month later, I was 　　11　　 up my jacket in the same place when I saw my brown 　　12　　 diary, just where I’d left it．

　　　　13　　 I read through the pages and found that a 　　14　　 had written the following, “God bless you．I’m 　　15　　 like you, only I 　　16　　 keep a diary, and I’m 　　17　　 to know there are others like me．I hope things turn out well for you．”

　　Tears came to my eyes．It had never dawned(开始为人所明白)on me that any one could know my inner feelings and also 　　18　　 things just like the way I did．

　　No matter what you are like, whether you’re rich or poor, brilliant or average, attractive or 　　19　　, there are people like you．Discard(抛弃)your fears of not measuring up(符合期望), and 　　20　　 yourself as you are．
