Forgiveness

One windy spring day, I observed young people having fun using the wind to fly their kites. Multicolored   26 of varying shapes and sizes filled the bright skies like beautiful birds darting and    27   . As the strong wind blow against the kites, a  28  kept them in control.

Instead of   29   away with the wind they arose against it to achieve great  30 . They shook and pulled,   31  the control string and the long tail    32  them in tow(受支配), facing upward and against the wind. As the kites   33   and trembled against the string, they seemed to say, "Let me go! Let me go! I want to be  34 !" They soared beautifully even as they fought the restriction(约束) of the string.   35  , one of the kites succeeded in breaking loose. "Free at last" , it seemed to say "Free to fly with the wind".

Yet freedom from   36   simply put it at the   37  of an unsympathetic breeze. it dropped ungracefully(不雅地) to the ground and   38  in a wild mass of weeds and string against a dead bush. "Free at last" -- free to lie powerlessly in the dirt, to be blown   39 along the ground, and to lodge lifelessly against the first obstruction.

How much like kites we sometimes are. The Heaven gives us adversities and restrictions, rules to  40  from which we can grow and gain strength. Control is a   41   counterpart to the winds of opposition. Some of his tug at the rules so hard that we  42  soar to reach the heights we might have obtained. We keep part of the commandment and never rise   43   enough to get our tails off the ground.

Let us each rise to the great heights,   44   that some of the controls that we may be unhappy under are actually the steadying force that helps us   45   and achieve.

Many people think of guys as being carefree when it comes to their appearance. But in fact, a lot of guys spend plenty of time in front of the mirror. They care just as much as girls do about their body image.

    Body image is a person’s opinions and feelings about his or her own body and physical appearance.    You appreciate your body for its capabilities and accept its imperfections.

   Here are some ideas:

    Recognize your strengths. Different body types are good for different things. What does your body do well? Maybe your speed, strength, or coordination makes you better than others at a certain sport. That may be basketball, table tennis, mountain biking, dancing, or even running. Or perhaps you have non-sports skills, like drawing, painting, singing, playing a musical instrument, writing, or acting.     .

    Exercise regularly. Exercise can help you look good and feel good about yourself. Good physiques (体形) don’t just happen.    A healthy habit can be as simple as exercising 20 minutes to 1 hour three days a week. Working out can also lift your spirits.

    Respect your body! Practicing good habits—regular showering; taking care of your teeth, hair, and skin; wearing clean clothes, and so on—can help you build a positive body image.

         Your body is just one part of who you are. Your talent for comedy, a quick wit (智慧), and all the other things make you unique. So try not to let small imperfections take over. (256 words)

   A. Use this as an opportunity to discover what you’re good at.

   B. Be yourself.

   C. Having a positive body image means feeling satisfied with the way you look.

   D. Just explore talents that you feel good about.

   E. They take hard work, regular workouts, and a healthy diet.

 F. The good news is that self-image and body image can be changed.

   G. So, what can you do to develop a positive body image?
