A list of Benjamin Franklin’s inventions shows a man of many talents and interests. It was the scientist himself that __31__ the inventor. His natural __32__ about things and the way they  work made him try to find ways to make them work better.

    Ben had poor __33__ and needed glasses to read.

He had two pairs of glasses __36__ in half and put half of each lens in a single    frame. Today, we __37__ them bifocals(近远双视镜).

I got a cancer when I was 18. This was a big deal for someone to 31. I chose to fight. After treatments, I 32 from my illness. Life couldn’t have been any 33. When I became fit years later, I met a wonderful man and got married. 34, I still felt something missing and eager to find my 35.

As my 20-year anniversary (周年纪念) of being a cancer 36 approached, I wanted to do something special and 37. I organized a fundraiser, calling it “A Mission (使命) of Love” and thanks to my 38 family and friends, raised﹩4,000 for St. Jude’s, planning to 39 it myself. Three quarters of the money would be given as a (n) 40 to the hospital, and what was left would go toward buying 41 for the children. I also organized a T-shirt 42 activity for any child who felt well enough.

Thanksgiving Day seemed the most 43 day of the year for the mission, and so it was all arranged. We went to a store and 44 three shopping carts with toys. It was 45 we were celebrities (名人) when the employees and other shoppers knew what we were doing.

On Thanksgiving Day, as we got to St. Jude’s, I became 46 emotional, as my eyes were filled with tears of 47. After dropping the toys off, we arrived where six children were waiting anxiously to begin painting. To me, it was as though they weren’t sick, and to see them smile was the greatest gift I could have ever 48.

Leaving there that day, I knew I had finally found my purpose. All of us are born for a reason, but all of us don’t 49 why. Success in life has nothing to do with what you 50 in life. It’s what you do for others.

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.

Last summer I was a volunteer（志愿者）at a shelter for the homeless, a place for homeless people to sleep at night. I wasn’t working that summer and was  21   only two classes in summer school, so I had some  22  time.

Three nights a week, I  23 in the kitchen of the shelter along with four other volunteers. We planned and  24 for 10 people hot meals  25  vegetables, chicken, fish and fruit. The homeless people  26  this good food because many of them usually didn’t eat well.

I  27  this volunteer work, making  28  with the four volunteers in the kitchen. One was a very nice elderly housewife, one a movie actor, another a young teacher, and the other a college student,   29 me.

I talked to a lot of the homeless people at the shelter. Their life stories  30  me with sympathy（同情）. Some of them had  31 with alcohol（酒）or drugs while others only had bad  32  . One woman worked for almost 30 years for a small company, and  33  she lost her job. She looked for a  34  job, but couldn’t find one, for she was too  35  . She could do nothing but sell her furniture ― sofas, chairs, and tables  36  she could pay for her food. The woman  37  on job hunting, but she 38   couldn’t find one. She had no money for her  39  and had to sleep in her car. Then she had to sell her car. Alone,   40  , and homeless, she finally came to the shelter.
