A lady wanted a birthday gift from her husband. For many months she had liked a beautiful   1 , and knowing her husband could   2  it, she told him that was all she wanted. On the morning of the   3 , her husband told her how   4  he was to have such a good wife, and how much he loved her. He   5  her a beautiful gift package (纸盒). She opened it and   6  a Bible.
  7 , she raised her voice and said to her husband, “With all your money, you give me a Bible?” She was so   8  that she left him.
Many years passed and the lady was very   9  in business. She owned two large companies. She   10  her husband was very old, and thought perhaps she should go to   11  him. But before she could, she   12  a letter telling her that he had died, and gave all of his possessions (财产) to her. She needed to come back and   13  things.
When she arrived at his house, sadness   14  her heart. She saw the still new
  15 , just as she had left it years before. With   16 , she opened it and began to turn the pages. A ring   17  from the Bible to the floor and a  18  could be seen. She picked it up and found it was the ring she wanted in those days. And on the card was the date of her birth, and the words “LUV U ALWAYS”.
  19  your gift is not packaged the way you want it, it’s because it is better packaged the way it is! Always appreciate little things; they usually lead you to bigger things! The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched for they must be felt with the   20 .

A man hired a taxi outside the airfield. The cab had a woolen carpet with  26  lace edges. On the glass partition that  27  the driver's seat was a copy of a famous painting. Its windows were all clean.The customer was very much  28  and said to the driver, “I've never seen a nicer  29  .”“Thank you for your praise.”the driver answered  30  .

“The car isn't mine,” said the driver. “It belongs to the company. I used to be a  31  of cabs. When they returned, all of them were as  32  as garbage cans with cigarette butts and rubbish  33  here and there. On the seats and door-handles could be found something  34  like peanut sauce or, chewing gum.Why so? I thought if the car itself were very clean the passengers would most  35  be considerate and refrain from littering.”

“So when I got a  36  to be a taxi-driver, I began  37  my idea into practice-to tidy and  38  the car. Now before a new passenger gets on my car, I'd make a cheek and be sure it is in good order.When my car  39  after a day's work, it always remains  40  .”

When doing a thing, one makes efforts and wants to see the result. To change others, one has to make twice the  41  but get half the result. To change oneself is the other way round-more fruit with less effort. One had better ask oneself why one makes  42  on others much more than on oneself.   43  you take enough care to do as best you can for other people's sake, your efforts will yield results, If you  44  the inner world of your own, examine yourself and wipe out the dust and dirt, instead of fixing your eyes on other people, you will find a cheerful  45  for yourself and create a pleasant environment for others.

That night, the friend could   39   sleep as he remembered the chicken-like eagle. The next morning, he headed back to the farm for another   40  . This time he carried the eagle to the   41   of a nearby mountain.

When he stood at the highest place of the mountain, he looked into its eyes and shouted, “Don’t you   42   ?
