About three years ago,I felt very lonely. I didn’t like my classmates,my parents or anyone else. My classmates didn’t want to talk  1        me,and my parents were always saying that other kids were better than me. I thought I was the 2      unlucky person in the world.

One day I had a big fight with one of my classmates. I was so angry 3      I hit him in the face. Just at that moment,a boy stood up and 4      the fight. He was the monitor of our class.

After that,he often helped me and we became good 5      . Whenever I got angry or sad,he would help 6      cool down. My life began to change because of the boy,my best friend. We spent a lot of interesting days together. As 7      went by,I felt happier with people around me. And it 8      that people around me had changed,too. My parents didn’t shout at me 9      longer and my classmates became friendly to me.

But now,I can’t often see my best friend because he is seriously 10      and is staying in a hospital. How I miss the days when we were together!I hope he will be all right and come back to school soon.

 A group of adults,highly succeeded in their jobs,went to visit their former teacher. Soon they began to 1      the stress in work and life.

The professor went to the kitchen and returned 2      a pot of coffee and all kinds of cups—crystal(水晶的).glass，plastic,pocelain(瓷制的).Some nice looking,some plain looking ; some 3      some cheap. And he told them to help 4      to the coffee.

 When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand,the professor said, “I’ve noticed that all the nice looking and expensive cups were 5      ，leaving behind the plain and cheap ones. It is 6      for you to take only the best for yourselves,and that is the root of your 7      and stress.

You know that the cup itself adds no quality to the coffee. 8      you really wanted was the coffee,not the cup,9      you consciously went for the best cups.

Now consider this：Life is the coffee. The job,the money and the 10     in society are the cups. They are just 11      to hold life. And the type of cups does not change the quality of our life. Sometimes,by 12      only on the cup,we fail to enjoy the coffee that God has 13      us. God offers us the coffee,not the cups. Please enjoy your coffee!”

The happiest people don’t have the best of everything. They just make 14      of everything. Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply. Speak 15     .  And leave the rest to God.

A (n)        Thing

In the past three years,the life in the middle school impressed me a lot. Many stories happened. The following is one of them.

 Chuck Wall teaches management and human relations at Bakersfield College. He walked into class one day and told his students that their h 1       was to perform one act of random (任意的) kindness. His students did not understand the assignment(任务)，but the professor would not answer their questions. He e 2       them to find out by themselves.

One week later,the students entered the classroom excitedly to s 3       their stories. One student told the story of distributing blankets to the homeless. Another said that he had contacted a long lost friend. And the third one r 4       that he had helped a dog find its owner. The students were energized(激励)by the good feeling,and wanted other people to be kind,too. W 5       the support of local businesses,the students made stickers for cars inviting people to do something k 6       for others. They sold the stickers and decided to donate the money to a center for the blind—not surprising as Professor Wall is blind.

Since then,s 7       kindness activities have been organized in schools all over the world. Many schools organize a Random Acts of Kindness Week a 8       November 13, to celebrate World Kindness Day. Some schools will perform d 9       kind acts,such as making a new friend,helping someone，doing community service，or raising money for a charity on different days of a Random Acts of Kindness Week. Students learn to c 10       about others and see how small actions make the world a better place.

My teachers thought I was the worst student.  My family also had  the  s  1        impression  as  my teachers’. When  I was going to give up my study,a new teacher,Miss  White,came to our school.

She was young,b 2       and knowledgeable(知识渊博的). One day,I  was sitting alone in my c 3      ,Miss White came  up  to  me  and spoke  to  me  kindly. She smiled away my unhappiness. “Do you think I can go to college?” I didn’t k 4       why I asked such a question. I thought she must say “no” b 5       everyone else said so. But she said, “Dear,you can do a 6       you want. Just try,and you’ll get closer to success. I believe you can be the best!” I was touched d 7       by her words. I decided to study hard. And from then on,we became good f 8      . She often helped me with my study in her free time.

In the end,I d 9       well in my studies and went to a good college. To me Miss White is an angel(天使). Her words have kept me going forward. She helped me realize that I am special and can be s 10        in life.

 Donald was not very good at math. He couldn’t understand the teacher’s explanations.  Even when the teacher explained something a second time,Donald still couldn’t understand it.

“Never mind，” Donald told himself, “I’m quite good at other subjects. I’ll cheat in the math exam to get a good grade,then I won’t be in trouble. ”

“I’ll  sit next to the  boy who does best in math, ” he thought, “and  copy  down  his  answers. ”

“Let them share it,” one of the other students said.

“I’ve thought about it，” the teacher said, “but the prize can’t be shared,so I can only give it to one of them. ”

The students were unhappy when they heard this. They said, “That’s not fair. They got the same grade. ”
