About ten years ago when I was a student at college，I spent my summer holidays  1  a museum．  2  was hard for me then because Dad had lost his job and Mum was sick in bed．I was  3  if I would be able to go on  4  my study the next term．I felt sad every day．

One day  5  I was working，I saw an old man come in with a little girl  6  a wheelchair （轮椅）．As I  7  this girl carefully，I found that she had no arms  8  legs．She was wearing a little white dress and she  9  had a hat on．

As the old man pushed the wheelchair up to me，I was busy with my work．I  10  my head toward the girl and gave her a wink（眨眼）．When I took the money from her grandfather，I looked back at the girl, who was giving me the prettiest，largest smile I have  11  seen．Suddenly her handicap（生理缺陷）  12  and all I saw was this beautiful girl，whose smile almost gave me a  13  understanding of what life is all about．She elude me realize the  14  of smiles，love and warmth   

I’m now a successful businessman and  15 I get down and think about the trouble of the world．I think about that little girl and the unforgettable lesson about life that she taught me．

I am a person who can get angry   26 . But after  27 a passage from my English teacher, things have changed  28 . I am studying at a boarding school, so I have to learn  29  how to study well, but how to get on well with others. Some of us are  30  while others are quiet. So it is  31 that people have problems and arguments.

Smiling at others is the easiest way to stop argument. Another way is to think  32 your ideas are right before having an argument. If others’ ideas are really not good, keep and open  33 . Try to forgive（原谅）them. Having a friend is  34 better than having an enemy after all. Also,   35 point out others’ mistakes  36 . If you really want to help them, send a letter  37 . On the other hand, if someone points out your disadvantages, don’t  38 . Just think this is a person who really wants to help you and make friends  39 you. Remember: Forgiving makes life  40 .

During his college years, Sherman Rogers spent a summer in logging(伐木) camp. When the boss had to leave for   41  days, he put Rogers in charge(掌管).

“What shall I do if the men   42  to follow my orders?” Rogers asked. He thought of Tony, a worker who complained all day, gave the other men a   43  time.

“Fire（解雇） them,” the boss said. Then, as if reading Rogers’ mind, he added, “I suppose you are going to fire Tony if you get the   44 . I’d feel badly about that. I have been logging for 40 years. Tony is one of the best workers I’ve ever had. I know he hates everybody and   45 . But he comes in first and leaves last. There has not been an   46  for eight years on the hill where he works.”

The next day, Rogers went to Tony, “Tony, do you know I’m in charge here today?” Tony said yes. “I was going to fire you the first time we quarreled,   47  I want you to know I’m not,” he told Tony, adding   48  the boss had said.

When he finished, Tony dropped the things in his hand and tears went down his   49 .

“Why didn’t he tell me that eight years   50  ?”

That day Tony worked   51  than ever before – and he smiled!

Rogers went back to   52  after that summer. Twelve years later he met Tony again who was now boss for one of the largest logging companies in the West. Rogers asked him how he came to California and happened to be so   53 .

Tony replied, “Were it not for the one minute you talk to me back that day, I would kill somebody some day. One minute   54  my whole life.”

Have you got one minute to thank someone? One minute to appreciate(欣赏) her or him? One minute. It can make a   55  for a lifetime.

Most teachers agree that the first lesson of a teacher is often unforgettable．I remember getting into the class with the   1   of a beginner teacher: nervous, careful, excited…etc．The school I   2   my first lesson in was well-known to hold the most troublesome （顽皮的）students in the city．With this in   3  , I was more nervous than I should be．But I tried my best not to   4   it out and went into the class．The first thing I did was taking a look at the whole class．My eyes   5   on a big black student．He was sitting in the back   6   of the class with no one in front of him．His body was much   7   than mine．I thought it would be better to   8   that boy untouchable．As soon as I started my lesson writing on the blackboard, I heard some noise from the back．I   9  the students to find out who did it, but the class looked very   10  ．I went on writing and the noise went on．Then I stopped my lesson to   11    this problem because I believed that if I lost control of the class from the   12   I wouldn’t be able to get it back．I thought the big boy made the noise．To my   13  , a small boy was the source （根源）of trouble．Days went   14   and I discovered that the big boy was good and quiet and the great source of trouble came from a group of   15   students who became under control after some weeks．From then on, I realized that judging （判断）by appearance can often be wrong, not only with students!
