At the time my son was born in 1956, I shared a hospital room with a young woman who bore a boy on the same day. Partly because my parents  46 a shop selling flowers, the room was soon  47  with the lovely scent of roses.
　  As the seventh floral arrangement was   48  , I was beginning to feel  49 , for no flowers had arrived for my roommate, Ann. She sat on the edge of her bed and leaned forward to admire the  50  bouquet. She was a pretty young woman, yet there was something about her large, brown eyes that made me think she had known too much  51 , too much sadness for one so young. I had the feeling she had always had to admire someone else’  52  .
　 “I’m enjoying every  53 of this”, she said as though she had read my   54  and was trying to reassure me. “Wasn’t I the lucky one to get you for a   55 ？”
　  I still felt uncomfortable, however.  56   there were some magic button I could push to  57   the sadness in her eyes. Well, I thought, at least,I can see that she has some flowers. When my mother and father came to see me that day, I asked them to send  58 some.
　　The flowers arrived just   59  Ann and I were finishing supper.
　　“More flowers for you,” she said,   60  .
　　“No, not this time,” I said, looking at the     61   “These are for you.”
　　Ann stared at the blossoms a long time, not saying anything. She ran her 62  across the pale blue bouquets and  63 touched each of the sweet roses as though trying to engrave（刻画） them on her 64 .
　　“How can I ever thank you” she said softly.
I was almost embarrassed. It was such a little    65  on my part.

It’s certain that the following tale is a nice example that can teach us a good lesson. One day, a young man  36 begged from door to door along the street.  37  an old wallet in hand, he was asking for a few coins to buy something to eat. He kept complaining about his bad 38  and kept wondering why those who had so much money were never   39  and were always desiring more.
“As for me, if I had only enough to eat and to wear, I would not want anything more."
Just at that moment Goddess Fortune  40  the beggar among the crowd and approached him, greeting, “Hi, young man, I have wished to   41  you for a long time. If you open your wallet, I will pour my gold into it. But keep in mind that I will do that only on this   42 : All that falls into the wallet will be pure gold belonging to you; but every piece falling upon the ground 43  become dust, worth nothing. Are you clear?”
“I see. Now I’m ready. ” said the beggar with confidence.
“Then you should   44 ! It’s obvious that your wallet is a/an   45 one, so don’t load it too heavily,” said the Goddess Fortune. 
The excited beggar could hardly   46 to have gold. He quickly opened his wallet, and a   47  of yellow coins was poured into it. The wallet became heavier and heavier.
“Is that enough? Isn’t it cracking? Will your wallet strong enough for more?” warned the Goddess.
“Never  48 .It’s still strong enough now” replied the beggar firmly.
The wallet was filled with so many coins that the beggar’s hands began to   49 . “Ah, if only the golden stream would   50  forever! Just a little more,” said the beggar, “  51  just a handful or two.”
“There! It’s full. The wallet will   52 .” warned the Goddess again, but the beggar insisted, “ I know it will  53  a little more, just a little more.”
One more piece was added and the wallet split. The   54  fell upon the ground and became dust. The greedy beggar had now   55  but his broken wallet.

One morning Raman, a true master of the art of archery(箭术), invited his favorite student to watch a display of his skill. The student had  36 this more than a hundred times before, but he still obeyed his  37 .
Together, they went into a nearby wood and reached a tall  38 . Raman picked a rose flower and   39 it on one of the branches of the tree. He  40 opened his bag and took out three objects: his   41 , an arrow and a white handkerchief.
Raman stood one hundred paces from the spot where he had placed the  42 . Facing his target, he  43 his student to blindfold(蒙住眼睛) him with the handkerchief. The student did as his teacher   44 .
“How often have you seen me practice the sport of archery?” Raman asked him  45 .
“Every day,” replied his student. “And you have  46 managed to hit the rose from three hundred paces away.”
With his eyes covered by the  47 , Raman placed his feet firmly on the ground and  48 the bowstring(弓弦) with all his strength. Aiming at the rose on the  49 , he let the arrow fly. The arrow whistled through the air,   50 it did not even hit the tree, missing the target by a few meters.
“Did I  51 it?” said Raman, removing the handkerchief from his eyes.
“No, you missed   52 ,” replied the student. “I thought you were going to  53 me the power of thought and your ability to perform magic.”
“I have  54 taught you the most important lesson about the power of thought.” replied Raman. “When you  55 something, concentrate only on that: No one will ever hit a target they cannot see.”

That holiday morning I didn’t have to attend school. Usually, on holidays, Mother   36  me to sleep in. And I would certainly take full advantage of it. On this particular morning,  ___37___,I felt like getting up early.
I stood by my window overlooking the ___38___, having nothing better to do. But as it turned out, I was soon to learn about something ___39___ in life.
As I watched several people go by, get into their cars and go off, I ___40___ an old man on a bicycle with a bucket on its ___41___ and a basket rags and bottles on its back-carriage. He ___42___ from one car to another, washing and cleaning them. From the water on the ground, it seemed that he had already ___43___ washing and cleaning about a dozen or more cars. He must have begun to work quite early in the morning.
Several thoughts ___44___my mind as I watched him work. He wasn’t well-dressed. He had on a pair of shorts and a(n) ___45___ T-shirt. The bicycle he rode was not by any means the kind modern ___46___would want to be seen riding on. But he seemed___47___ with life. There he was, working hard at his small business, ___48___ at passers-by and stopping to chat now and then ___49___ elderly men and women on their way to the market nearby.
There was a noticeable touch of___50___ in the way he seemed to be doing things— ___51___the windscreen (挡风玻璃), then standing back to admire it; scrubbing (擦净) the wheels and ___52___, standing back to see what they look like after the scrub.
It was a ___53___ to learn, I felt. At no age need one have to beg for a ___54___if one has good health and is willing to work hard. For a while I felt ___55__ of myself. Young as I am—just sixteen, and there was this old man who must have been usefully engaged perhaps before the sun appeared above the horizon.

When I woke next morning, I was dying of 36 .I seemed to have a hole instead of a  37   I dressed quickly and hurried down to the dinning-room. It was a big room with six tall windows and the ugliest wallpaper（背景墙） I had ever seen ! 38 , I had been told the hotel was not beautiful but that you were better 39 there than in any other hotel; and that was 40 I wanted just then.
The waiter came hurrying up. Before I came downstairs I had prepared 41 carefully for what I must 42. I had looked three times in my dictionary to make sure 43 “breakfast” really meant “breakfast”. I had tried to get the right 44 and I had stood in the front of a mirror and twisted my mouth until it ached.
The waiter asked me 45 I could not understand, but I spoke only my one prepared word “breakfast”. He looked at me in a 46  way, so I repeated it, still he did not understand. It was 47 that English people didn’t understand their language. The waiter 48 his head and went away, but he came back in a minute and brought a tray with tea, bread and butter--- enough to feed a small army--- and went away. But I was hungry, and I left 49. When the waiter came back I thought his face showed a little 50, but you can never 51 what a waiter’s face really shows. In another minute he brought 52  tray with some bacon(熏肉) and some eggs. He 53  have misunderstood me , but I thought it was no use explaining to people who don’t understand their own language , so I just set to work on the bacon and eggs, wondering whether I could possibly clear that plate.
Well, I finished the bacon and eggs. I got up and made my way slowly to my room-----at least five pound 54 . I never believed until then that any meal could 55 me, but on that day I met my Waterloo(滑铁卢).

It seems that the world always 55 to you when you need it. And this time, it was a complete stranger who turned out to be a real blessing.

The story happened on a hot heavy rainy day.
After class, I took a few bottles to go and   36  some water from the water room. Oh! There were so many people! I had to wait   37  the rain. My hair didn't get wet because I wore a hat, but my clothes  38  .
When at last it was my   39  , I filled the bottles as quickly as possible. I began making my way back when I saw a boy   40  towards me. He   41  two umbrellas in his hand. He shouted hello and as he came   42  , I recognized that it was Tom.

"I know you don't like me, but I want to   53  with you." he said, "You may think I am silent, but it is because I can't find the right   54  to say."
