With a hat by his feet, a blind boy sat on the steps of a building. He held up a sign which said, “I’m blind, please help.”

Only a few people put   36  in the hat. A man was walking by. He   37  some coins into the hat. He then turned the sign   38 , wrote some words, put the sign back and left.

Soon the hat began to fill up. A lot more people   39  to give money to the blind boy. That afternoon the man came to see   40  things were. The boy recognized his footsteps （认出他的脚步声）and asked, “Were you the one who   41  my sign this morning? What did you write?”

The man said, “I only wrote the truth. I said what you said but in a   42  way.” What he had written was, “Today is a beautiful day,   43 I cannot see it.”

Both the   44  told people that the boy was blind. But the first sign simply   45  people to help by throwing some money into the   46 . The second one, however, told people that they were able to enjoy the   47  of the day, but the boy couldn’t   48  he was blind.

There are at least two lessons we can learn   49  this story. First, be thankful for what you have. Someone else has less. Help them if you can.   50  , be creative. Think differently. There is always a better way!

When we see a cigarette box, we’ll see “ Smoking is harmful to your health” on it. Children are not    36  to smoke by their parents or teachers. But in many countries  37 is becoming a bigger problem for young people. Most smokers   38  in their teens or earlier.

Some students think smoking is very cool, and they can see many people smoking around them. They want to have a   39 .

“If young people start smoking early, they will probably get addicted （上瘾的）to nicotine（尼古丁）. And it will be very hard to  40   later on,” said a professor. A study shows smoking is a problem for many Chinese teens.  41    can we do to make them stop smoking?

Some people think we can make a law. Teenagers under 18 are not allowed to smoke,   42   they should be fined. Parents should give up smoking. They can set an example （树立榜样）43   their children.

“Every year about four million people die of smoking. And if people  44   smoking, the number will increase （增加）10 million a year from now on,” said the World Health Organization. So we must learn and tell others about the  45  of smoking.

I was so excited after I had found the holiday in the guidebook. It said, “Enjoy a week of sightseeing in one of Europe’s most beautiful cities    41    staying at one of its best hotels. ” Now I wasn’t so sure. I had waited fifteen minutes at reception  (前台) when I   42  and now the shower in my room wasn’t working. I  43  hotel reception.

“Hello. This is Room 308. There isn’t any    44   in my bathroom. ”

“Are you sure?”

“Of course I’m sure!”

“I’ll    45   our hotel engineer at once. ”

An hour later, the engineer came to look at the    46  . He hit the pipes (水管) a few times and looked   47  . “Sorry, but I cannot fix it today. Maybe, tomorrow.” Then he   48  his hand. I couldn’t believe it! He wanted a tip (小费) for doing   49 ! I was very angry. But suddenly, I had a better idea.    50 , I gave the engineer a few coins. He hadn’t fixed my shower but he had taught me something  51  staying in his country. Two minutes later I was at the reception desk. I explained the  52  to the receptionist (接待员) and he replied, “Sorry. This is a  53  situation, but what can we do?” I knew exactly  54  to do. I gave the hotel manager a very large tip. Fifteen minutes later I  55  into Room 405. It was twice the size of Room 308, it had a wonderful view (景色) of the city, a comfortable bed and, most importantly, there was water in the bathroom.

Many students have some 41　　　 . For example, some students do not learn their school subjects 42　　　 . Some are good at 43　　　 and do well in many exams, 44　　 　 they are doing very badly in sports and they do not have strong bodies. So their classmates always call 45　　　　 “bookworms”(书虫).

Students should not care about 52　　　　　 laughing. They should think about the things that are good.

Then students should 53　　　 make enough time for their hobbies. Playing sports, reading and watching movies help them relax.

Finally, 54　　　　　 is useful and important for students to share(分享) their problem with their 55　　　　　 and family members.
