查看习题详情和答案>>Once President Roosevelt’s house was broken into and lots of things were stolen. Hearing this, one of Roosevelt’s friends wrote to him and advised him not to take it to his 21 so much. President Roosevelt wrote back immediately, saying,” Dear friend, thank you for your letter to 22 me. I’m all right now. I think I should thank God. This is because of the following three reasons: firstly, the thief only stole things from me but did not 23 me at all; secondly, the thief has stolen some of my things 24 all my things; thirdly, most luckily for me, it was the man 25 me who became a thief…”
It was quite unlucky for anyone to be stolen from…. However, President Roosevelt had such three reasons to be so 26 . This story tells us how we can learn to be grateful in our life.
Being grateful is an important philosophy of life and a great wisdom…. It is impossible for anyone to be lucky and successful all the time 27 he lives in the world. We should learn how to face failure or misfortune bravely and 28 and to try to deal with it. If so, should we complain about our life and become 29 and disappointed ever since then or should we be grateful for our life, 30 again ourselves after a fall? William Thackeray, a famous British writer, said, “Life is a mirror. When you smile in front of it, it will also smile and 31 will it when you cry to it.” If you are grateful to life, it will bring you shining sunlight. If you always complain about everything, you may own 32 in the end. When we are successful, we can 33 have many reasons for being grateful, but we have only one excuse to show ungratefulness if we fail.
I think we should even be grateful to life 34 we are unsuccessful or unlucky. Only by doing this can we find our weakness and shortcomings when we fail. We can also get 35 and warmth when we are unlucky. This can help us find our courage to overcome the difficulties we may face, and receive great impetus (动力) to 36 . We should treat our frustration and misfortune in our life 37 just as President Roosevelt did. We should be grateful all the time and keep having a healthy 38 to our life forever, keep having perfect characters and enterprising spirit. Being grateful is not only a kind of comfort, not 39 from life and nor thinking of winning in spirit like Ah Q. Being grateful is a way to sing for our life which comes just from our love and 40 .

"Do you remember how Germont laughed when I said the mystery was difficult for him to work out
because it was so simple?"
Dupin filled his pipe with tobacco and lit it. "Well, the more I thought about it, the more I realized the
police could not find the letter because D'Arcy had not hidden it at all.
"So I went to visit D'Arcy in his apartment. I took a pair of dark green eyeglasses with me. I explained
to him that I was having trouble with my eyes and needed to wear the dark glasses at all times. He
believed me. The glasses permitted me to look around the apartment while I seemed only to be talking to
him.

and put the letter in my pocket. Then I replaced it with a letter that looked exactly like it, which I had
taken with me. I had made it the night before.
"The trouble in the street was caused by a man who had almost been run over by a horse and carriage.He was not hurt. And soon the crowd of people went away. When it was over, D'Arcy came away from
the window. I said goodbye and left.
"The man who almost had an accident was one of my servants(雇员). I had paid him to create the
incident."
Dupin stopped talking to light his pipe. I did not understand. "But, Dupin," I said, "why did you go to
the trouble of replacing the letter? Why not just take it and leave"
