【题目】 When I was about twelve, I had an enemy, a girl who liked to point out my weakness.Week by week her list grew: I was very thin, I was not a __________ student, I talked too much, I was too proud, and so on. I tried to bear all this as long as I could. At last, I became very angry. I ran to my father with _________ in my eyes.

He wiped my tears and listened to me ___________, and then he asked. "Are the things she says true or not? Janet, didn't you ever ___________ what you're really like? Well, you now have that girl's opinion. Go and make a list of __________ she said and mark the points that are true. Pay no attention to the other things she said."

I did as he told me. To my great ____________, I discovered that about half the things were true. Some of them I couldn't __________ (like being very thin), but a good number I could-and suddenly I wanted to change. For the first time I went to a fairly clear picture of myself.

I brought the list back to Daddy. He refused to take it. "That's just for you," he said. "You know better than anyone else the __________ about yourself. But you have to learn to listen, not just close your ears in anger and __________ hurt. When something said about you is true, you'll find it will be of help to you. Our world is full of people who think they know your duty. Don't shut your ears. Listen to them all, but __________ the truth and do what you know is the right thing to do."

Daddy's advice has returned to me at many important moments. In my life, I've never had a better piece of advice.

【题目】 I went out to breakfast this morning to meet a friend. It was voice. But what wasn't so lovely was the lady who took our__________

She spoke in a way that was_______,unhappy, certainly not friendly and sort of rude.Working in hospitality(服务行业)myself, I ________it.

When it was my turn to come close to her and order, I thought to myself,“What can I do here to make her day, to appreciate her, to make her smile?”

I had nothing.

Surely there must be______ I could sincerely compliment (称赞)her on. Then there it was, and I knew instantly(=at once).

It was her voice. She had the most unbelievably well spoken and clear voice, It was SO good. And that was what I would________ her for.

So after she took my order and gave me the same unfriendly attitude, I told her. I said: “I hope you don't mind me saying so, but you have the most ______voice. It's so clear, well spoken and sounds so professional.”

I told her how she honestly had one of those voices that would be_______ for voice-overs(配音), announcements or even radio.

Her face lit up, she smiled (the first time I had seen her do so), and as I left and walked away, noticed her whole attitude change. The customer behind me received a totally different kind of________, a better one. And it was all because of what I did. Something so_______.

There was a time when this sort of thing would have embarrassed me, or I'd have been way too shy and hard to say such a thing. Not now. Now I_______.

Why?

Because I have the power. The power to completely change someone's day by something as simple as a few kind words.

And you have this power too. We all do.
