In   39   of her disease, Patti was as ambitious（有野心的） as she was enthusiastic. She looked at being an epileptic as simply “an   40 ”. She focused not on what she had   41   , but on what she had left.

“Forgiveness is the sweetest revenge.” I saw this wonderful old saying again in a book recently. It got me thinking about all the times that I have been    31   to forgive others in my life and all the joy that it has brought me. One    32   stands out particularly well.
I was a young boy at a summer camp. I was having a great time and    33___ everything about it except for another young boy of my age. To say we didn’t
   34   would be a statement that made the situation less serious than it really was. We spent most of the week irritating, insulting (侮辱), and picking on each other.
   35   finally came to a fight on the next to last day of camp. We got into a fist fight which I lost.    36   older boys broke it up before I was hurt too much. I spent the rest of the day alone, refusing to speak andlost in my own    37  .
The next day my spirits were    38   when Mom brought the boys in our cabin some of her delicious homemade    39  . I was enjoying a few slices of it when I saw the other boy sitting by himself at the bottom of the steps outside. He seemed very    40   right then. I am not sure what moved me to do so, but I took my pizza down and    41   it with him. It made all the anger and pain inside me    42  . We became friends after that. I never got into another fist fight either. I had found out that sharing and forgiving were much more fun and a lot less painful.
Forgiveness is    43   the sweetest revenge. It can turn an enemy into a friend. It can    44   a heart from the chains of anger, hatred, and pain. It can open a soul to the sweetness of love and joy once again. May your life always be    45   of sweet forgiveness.

A．disappointed

From birth to death, the word kick has been given an important part in expressing human experience. The proud and happy mother feels the first signs of life kicking inside her body. And that same life------many years later------ comes to its end in a widely-used expression, to kick the bucket( 吊桶) . The expression to kick the bucket is almost 200 years old. One belief is that it started when an English stableman(马夫) killed himself by hanging while standing on a bucket. He put a rope around his neck and tied it to a beam(梁柱) in the ceiling, and then kicked the bucket away from under him.
Another old expression that comes from England is to kick over the traces. Traces were the chains（链子） that held at horse or mule to a wagon(货运马车)or plow. Sometimes, an animal refused to obey and kicked over the traces.
Kick around is an expression that is heard often in American English. A person who is kicked around is someone who is treated badly. Usually he is not really being kicked by somebody's foot. He is just not being treated with the respect that all of us want. A person who has kicked around for most of his life is someone who has spent his life moving from place to place. In this case, kicking around means moving often from one place to another. Kick around has another meaning when you use it with the word idea. When you kick around an idea, you are giving that idea some thought.
There is no physical action when you kick a person upstairs, although the pain can be as strong .You kick a person upstairs by removing him from an important job and giving him a job that sounds more important, but really is not.
Still another meaning of the word kick is to free oneself of a bad habit, such as smoking cigarettes. Health campaigns urge smokers to kick the habit.
