One day a famous speaker gave a speech to a crowd of people. He held up a 21 bill. He asked, “Who would like this $20 bill ? ” Hands were 22 . Then he said, “I am going to give this $20 to one of you, but first let me do this.” He began to crumple（弄皱）the 23 . He then asked the audience, “ 24 still wants it ?” Still the hands went 25 in the air.
“ What 26 I do this? ” He asked, and he 27 it on the ground, and started to step on it. He 28 it up. Now the bill was 29 and crumpled. “ Now who still wants it?” Still the hands went up.
“My friends,” He continued, “You have all 30 a good lesson . No matter 31 I did to the money, you still wanted it because the bill did not lose its 32 . It was still worth $20. Many times in our 33 , we are dropped, crumpled, and stepped on, because we sometimes 34 wrong decisions, or we may 35 with something we do not 36 .When that happens, we feel depressed and think we are 37 . But in fact no matter what has happened or what will happen, you will never lose your value. The worth of our life comes not 38 what we do or whom we know, but in who we are! Don’t forget ‘the worth of a thing does not depend on its outside 39 , but on its inner value.’ This is the 40 of life.

I moved to a new neighborhood two months ago. In the house with a large 31 across the road lived a taxi driver, a single parent with two school-aged children. At the end of the day, he would 32 his taxi on the road. I 33 why he did not park it in the garage.
Then one day I learnt that he had another car in his garage. In the afternoon he would come home 34 work, leave his taxi and go out for his 35 affairs in his other car, not in his taxi. I felt it was a 36 .
I was curious to see his personal car but did not make it until I 37 to be outside one evening two weeks 38 , when the garage door was 39 and he drove out in his “own” car: a Rolls-Royce（劳斯莱斯）! It shook me completely 40 I realized what that meant. You see, he was a taxi driver. But 41 inside, he saw himself as something else: a Rolls-Royce owner and a（n） 42 . He drove others in his taxi but himself and his children in his Rolls-Royce. The world looked at his taxi and 43 him a taxi driver. But for him, a taxi was just something he drove for a living. Rolls-Royce was something he drove fo
r a (n） 44 .
We go to bed every night and 45 every morning as parents or children, not as bankers, CEOs or professors. We go for a 46 as close friends or go for a vacation as a 47 . We love life as it is. Yet often, we base our entire 
happiness and success on how much bigger and better a 48 we have. And we ignore our Rolls-Royce, by 49 it dusty in our garage. We should focus more on 50 we are than what we do!

When we read books we seem to enter a new world. This new world can be similar to the one we are living in, or it can be very 21 . Some stories are told 22 they were true. Real people who live in a 23 world do real things; in other words, the stories are about people just like us doing what we do. Other stories, such as the Harry Potter books, are not 24 . They are characters and creatures that are very different from us and do things that would be 25 for us.
But there is more to books and writing than this. If we think about it, even realistic writing is only 26 . How can we tell the difference between what is real and what is not real? For example, when we read about Harry Potter ,we 2 7 seem to learn something about the real world. And when Harry studies magic at Hogwarts, he also learns more about his real life than 28 . Reading, like writing, is an action. It is a way of 29 . When we read or write something ,we do much more than simple look at words on a page. We use our 30 --which is real—and our imagination—which is real in a different way --- to make the words come to life in our minds.
Both realism and fantasy(幻想) 31 the imagination and the “magic” of reading and writing to make us think. When we read 32 realistic, we have to imagine that the people we are reading about are just like us, even though we 33 that we are real and they are 34 . It sounds 35 ,but it works. When we read, we fill in missing information and 36 about the causes and effects of what a character does. We help the writer by 37 that what we read is like real life. In a way, we are writing the book, too.
Most of us probably don’t think about what is going on in our 38 when we are reading. We pick up a book and lose 39 in a good story, eager to find out what will happen next. Knowing how we feel 40 we read can help us become better readers, and it will help us discover more about the real magic of books.
