One night, I was busy1. my schoolwork. Just then, my little brother Michael2./ke?m/ in with a pen and a piece of paper.

“Betty, can you help me with my homework? I am asked to learn something by3.(I). It’s about the seven wonders ofthe world.” he said.

My4.(eye) were so fixed on the computer screen that my brother had to pull my blouse to get my attention.

I felt a bit guilty as I thought5./??ba?t/ that, but my work seemed more important to me than my brother’s.

The n6.day, I arrived home late. Michael got into my room.“I know you are busy but I want to show you something,”he said. Without7.(say) a word, I took the paper from him. r8. didn’t mind what he was saying.

Suddenly, my eyes widened in surprise. There, he wrote: The Seven Wonders of the9.: 1. Love2. Friendship3. Peace4. Joy5. Wisdom6. Fun7. Family.

I couldn’t believe what my brother had written on the paper. I was10. (complete) confused. How could such an innocent(天真的) little child understand such things in life?

The most valuable things in life are the ones that we often take for granted.

When I was young, my mother paid a little attention to me, and I did not have enough food and clothes. Before1.(go) to the foster care（寄养中心）, I had volunteered at the local hospital to gain hospital experience, so I wanted to be a doctor. But I saw no hope of getting such a long2.(education) j ourney.

3. the age of24, my son was born and I began working for long hours.Then my daughter was born and I 4./'pr?m?st/ myselfto strive higher in life. I took a chance and applied for a much5.(good) job than before, which would double my salary （薪水） —I succeeded!

My life was again changed due to divorce（离婚） and a lay-off(失业) at27 years old. For my children, I6.(decide) to go to college and achieved my dream. I began at the local community college and was then able to go to a4-year college for a d7. in Biology. I applied to five m8. schools in the area to stay close to my children and was accepted then. I did everything with my whole heart and did not let anything distract me9. my goal. I am now a practicing physician and could not be happier.

I continue to be inspired by those I meet who have gone 10./θru:/ much worse than I and have achieved success. We can all get so much in our lives. I hope this story provides you hope.

One summer evening as I was cooking dinner, there was a knock at the door. A bad-looking man came to see if I had a room for just o1. night. He came for a treatment this morning from2.(east) shore, but there’s no bus till next morning. I was told that he had been searching but was not very s3.. I told him we would find him a bed, but to rest4. the porch(门廊). I went inside and prepared dinner. When we were ready, I asked him if he would like to join 5.(we). “No, thank you. I had plenty.” He said.

After finishing6.(have) the dinner, I went out to talk with him. It didn’t take a long time to see this old man had an oversized(过大的)heart crowded that tiny body. He7.(tell) me he fished for living to help his daughter, his five children and his wife who was ill and too weak to do anything. At bedtime, we put a bed in the children’s room for him. On his next trip, he 8./br?:t/ a big fish and some fresh oysters(牡蛎)as a gift. And for years, there was never a time he came9./w???a?t/ some fish or vegetables from his garden.

I know it was thankful10. our family to know him. From him we learned that to accept the bad with no complaint and the good with thanks.

I learned how to accept life from my father. However, he did not teach me acceptance when he was strong and h1., but rather when he was weak and ill.

My father was o2. a strong man, but a terrible illness took all that3.. Now he can no longer walk, and he must sit4.(quiet) in a chair all day. One night, I went to visit him with my sisters. We started talking about life, and I told them about one of my5.(experience). I said that we must very often give6. things while we are growing—our youth, our beauty, our friends—but it always seems that we gain(得到) something new in its7./ple?s/. Then suddenly my father spoke up,“I gained the love ofmy family.” I looked at my sisters and saw tears in8.(they) eyes, along with hope and thankfulness.

I was moved by his words. After that, I would remember his words and become9./kɑ:m/ when I began to feel irritated（恼怒的） at someone. In this way, I learned the power of acceptance from my father.

Sometimes I wonder what other things I could have learned from him if I had listened more carefully10./wen/ I was a boy. For now I am grateful for this gift.

It is very important to have a law to base your life on. A law of life that1.(mean) a lot to me is that success is a journey, not a destination(目的地).

One person who shares my law of life is Mark McGwire, a US baseball2.(play). He once played for St Lewis Cardinals. He didn’t get caught3. in the home-run competition in the1998 season, but4./?n?sted/ played every game in the best way he could. And, most ofthe time, he helped 5.(he) team. He didn’t just go6. there and hit home runs because he wanted to be ahead in the end, but because he wanted to make it a good season for his team.

I also think my law of life can be applied（应用） by the Cardinals. They stay focused on7.(play) in the World Series. They know that even ifthey lose some games, they n8. give up.

It doesn’t matter if you don’t have the9./??b?l?ti/ to be on the top in the end or win the championship. All that matters is that you worked hard the whole time. There are a f10.people in the world know that success is considered as a journey, not a destination. After all, it’s not about who wins or loses, but how well you play the game, and I hope I have applied this in my own life.

When saw a big“65” in bright red ink on my math paper, my jaw(下巴) almost dropped to the ground.

I was so ashamed(羞愧) that I lied to my dad. I 1./t??ld/ him I got85 and the report wouldn’t come until the end of the month. Dad smiled. His daughter would never lie about her grade, so he just w2. for it.

A month later, Dad3.(sudden) asked me again about the report at the dinner table. Having no choice, I said that I had in4. got just65 in my math final exam. I had lied5. /b??k?z/ I didn’t want to disappointed him.

Finally, Dad said,“You have let me6., with your lie. I am not disappointed at your math score. If you can’t be honest with your dad, who can you be honest with? It’s much 7.(easy) to achieve a better grade than rebuild someone else’s trust in you.”

Dad’s words touched my heart. I couldn’t forgive8.(I) for having hurt his heart. I took out the report which was hid by me. I realized that my9.(honest) is not only important to me personally, but to those around me.

In o10. of Shakespeare’s plays, a character says,“No legacy(遗产) is so rich as honesty.” And from then on, I’ve never told a lie to anyone in the world.

When I was young, I volunteered to give out water at a local race. This race was held1. the local government. I was so excited to see all the different2.(runner) that I decided to run for the race next year, but I had little running practice. I just determined to finish the race.

On the day of the race, it was3.(terrible) hot. After running for about5 miles, I was thinking， “I must be c4.. Why did I do this? That f5. 10 km race was quite an exciting experience. I jogged(慢跑) and then walked. I really didn’t know ifI could finish.

Suddenly I was run past by a70-year-old man. I 6./felt/ a little embarrassed. I was more than50 years 7.(young) than him, but I couldn’t even keep up8. him.

Then I realized something. He was running his race and I was running9.(I). How often in life do we compare ourselves with others when we really shouldn’t? I decided that I would not give up running races, and that one day I would be one ofthose 70-year-old men who were still running.

As I crossed the finishing line, I felt very10./pra?d/ I didn’t regret(后悔)having such an experience.
