Tuesday the twelfth was my birthday. I  16 a day of cake and presents  17__     it turned into a day of mystery(神秘). Someone sent a bottle with a letter and a treasure map   18 .

I decided to  21 . Two of my friends came and we rented a truck.   22 , I thought about turning back twice during this trip, but I didn’t think it was a 23 decision for me to make. I   24 to give this trip twice the effort(努力) I had been putting in. This would take all my trust in order for me to find the  25  .
“The map says you have to turn when you see a large stone with a red circle,” said one of them.
“What do we do after the turn?” I asked   26 .
“It says we should see a tree. We are   27  to turn 20 meters north of it and dig.　
We got there and dug. We had   28  at first digging but we got better and worked very   29 . My trousers were dirty but I kept digging   30  I hit something. It was a large metal box. We   31  the lock and looked inside. There was a letter. It read:
　　“The lesson you have learned will be very   32  . If you put as much   33 in anything you do as you did in finding the   34  , you will have found the key to making over 20 million dollars.”
　　This was a trick from my parents. I thought I would never forget this   35    birthday present.

My job was to make classroom observations and encourage a training program that would enable students to feel good about themselves and take charge of their lives. Donna was one of the volunteer teachers who participated in this 　26 .

One day, I entered Donna’s classroom, took a seat in the back of the room and 　27 . All the students were working 　28 a task. The student next to me was filling her page with “I Can’ts.” “I can’t kick the soccer ball.” “I can’t get Debbie to like me.” Her page was half full and she showed no 　29 of stopping. I walked down the row and found 　30 was writing sentences, describing things they couldn’t do.

By this time the activity aroused my 　31 , so I decided to check with the teacher to see what was going on 　32 I noticed she too was busy writing. “I can’t get John’s mother to come for a parents’ meeting.” I felt it best not to 　33 .

After another ten minutes, the students were 　34 to fold the papers in half and bring them to the front. They placed their “I Can’t” statements into an empty shoebox. Then Donna 35 hers. She put the lid on the box, tucked it under her arm and headed out the door. Students followed the teacher. I followed the students. Halfway down the hallway Donna got a shovel from the tool house, and then marched the students to the farthest corner of the playground. There they began to 　36 . The box of “I Can’ts” was placed at the 　37 of the hole and then quickly covered with dirt. At this point Donna announced, “Boys and girls, please join hands and 　38 your heads.” They quickly formed a circle around the grave.

Donna delivered the eulogy (悼词). “Friends, we gathered here today to 　39 the memory of ‘I Can’t.’ He is 　40 by his brothers and sisters ‘I Can’ and ‘I Will’. May ‘I Can’t’ rest in 　41 . Amen!”

She turned the students 　42 and marched them back into the classroom. They celebrated the 　43 of “I Can’t”. Donna cut a large tombstone from paper. She wrote the words “I Can’t” at the top and the date at the bottom, then hung it in the classroom. On those rare occasions when a student 　44 and said, “I Can’t,” Donna 　45 pointed to the paper tombstone. The student then remembered that “I Can’t” was dead and chose other statement.

Instead, they 7　　　 (dig) into their pockets, pooled together enough money for the payment, placed 8　　　 on the piano and walked out, empty handed. 9 (move)) by the beauty of his music, these men recognized excellence and responded 10　　　　 it..
