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 .

Yesterday I was tidying up my room. I found 31 old box of my father’s .He gave 32 to me two years ago. It was really interesting to discover some of my father’s childhood 33 .He once told me  34 he wrote to people all over the world, 35 they sent him  36 ,too. As a result, he had a book of interesting stamps. People also gave him things from different 37 ,such as a silk from Japan, a little doll from England, and a small model ship from Australia. My father even  38  the ticket from his first football match! It made me think about looking  39 my collection of 40  pictures books and magazines.

Once a circle(圆圈) lost a piece. The circle wanted to be whole, so he went around     36    for the missing piece.
Because he was incomplete(不完整的), he rolled very      37    . He saw the beautiful flowers along the road, talked with the      38     and enjoyed the sunshine on his way. He found       39   different pieces, but     40    of them fit him. So he left them all by the side of the road and   41    searching(搜索).
One day      42     circle found the right piece. It fit him perfectly. He      43     be whole, with nothing missing. He was so happy. He could roll very fast,     44     fast to notice the flowers and talk to the birds.    45    he found how different the world seemed as he rolled so quickly, he stopped. He    46  the found piece by the side of the road and rolled slowly away.
A person who has everything is     47     in some ways. He will     48     have hopes and dreams. We can’t be perfect, but we can be kind enough to share happiness with others     49     smart enough to know there is enough      50    around us to live a wonderful life.

I want to have a different Christmas Day.

After the earthquake took place(发生), I found  1 in the dark. I couldn’t move. The bottom(底部) parts of  2 my legs and my feet were hurting  3 . All around me was quiet. But above me I could hear shouts and a lot of noise. Then I remembered  4 had happened, I had been in an earthquake.
For about two hours nobody came.  5 I could reach the bag of apples, so at least I had something to eat. Then I heard people   6  to me. A team of people had come to see  7 anyone was under the broken road. I called out“I’m here!”I heard a shout. Soon a stranger climbed to the bridge near my car. “ How are you doing?” he asked. “Not too bad,” I said ，“but my feet and legs feel  8 they’re broken.’’ “We’ll do our best   9  you out of there,” he said. They didn’t get me out   10  the next morning. I had been in my car for fourteen hours.
