“There are so many different things I am fond of about the 8 ,” she said.“I can't really 9 it but I love giving live performances, I like the feeling of playing and communicating with the 10 .I love the feeling of the violin under my chin(下巴).”
However, playing violin six hours a day is not a/an 11 job.“I usually 12 in an upstairs bedroom when I'm at home.” she said.“But sometimes, when it's 13 outside, it can be upset.The house is right on the 14 and I can see others having fun 15 I'm on my own.”
Although practising is sometimes lonely, Nicola 16 felt she was lucky.“You can't have 17 .I am really lucky to do what I love doing,” she said.Her 18 paid off(终有回报).Nicola won BBC Young Musician of the Year in 2004 at 16.

Dear son,
I want to thank you for teaching me a very 1 lesson in life by the great example you 2 .When we were eating at that café in Bondi and a person who had 3 his hamburger didn't have enough money to pay for it, without any 4 , you went over and put the extra $2 into his 5 .
When we were leaving, you 6 threw a five-cent coin onto the pavement and said 7 like, “Some kid will really enjoy 8 this.”
Last week, a young man 9 me in the line at a petrol station didn't have 10 money to pay for his petrol.I asked the money collector, “How much 11 is he?” she told me he had meant to put $15 of petrol in his car 12 he had been looking at the wrong gauge(计量表)and had put in 15 13 , which came to just over 14 .That is an easy mistake 15 both gauges run fast.
Something made me think of you and 16 you did that night at the café in Bondi.I handed the man $6.He was so 17 and said, “But why would you do this for me?” I just smiled as I thought of you.
Thank you, son, for teaching me that “it's 18 to give than receive”.Now when I see a five-cent coin on the 19 and want to pick it up, I think of you and leave it 20 , just in case some kid will get a kick out of finding it.

The measure of a man's real character is what he would do if he knew he would never be found out.
——Thomas Macaulay
Some thirty years ago, I was studying in a public school in New York.One day, Mrs.Nanette O'Neill gave an arithmetic 21 to our class.When the papers were 2 she discovered that twelve boys had made exactly the 3 mistakes throughout the test.
There is nothing really new about 4 in exams.Perhaps that was why Mrs.O'Neill didn't even say a word about it.She only asked the twelve boys to 5 after class.I was one of the twelve.
Mrs.O'Neill asked 6 questions, and she didn't 7 us either.Instead, she wrote on the blackboard the 7 words by Thomas Macaulay.She then ordered us to copy these words into our exercise-books one hundred times.
I don't 9 about the other eleven boys.Speaking for 10 I can say:it was the most important single 11 of my life.Thirty years after being 12 to Macaulay's words, they still seem to me the best yardstick(准绳), because they give us a 13 to measure ourselves rather than others.
14 of us are asked to make 15 decisions about nations going to war or armies going to battle.But all of us are called upon daily to make a great many personal decisions. 16 the wallet, found in the street, be put into a pocket 17 turned over to the policeman? Should the 18 change received at the store be forgotten or 19 ? Nobody will know except you.But you have to live with yourself, and it is always 20 to live with someone you respect.

I believe in miracles(奇迹)because I've seen so many of them.One day, a patient was referred to me who was one hundred and two years old." There's a 1 in my upper jaw , " she said."I told my own dentist it' s nothing, but he 2 I come to see you."
Her eighty-year-old son accompanied her.He would 3 to add something ,but she stopped him.She wanted to tell everything herself.I found a large cancer that spread over most of the 4 of her mouth.A careful examination later 5 that it was a particularly bad sort of cancer.
During her next appointment, I explained to her the 6 of the problem.She clasped my hand in hers and said, “I know you're worried about me, but I'm just 7 ”
I thought otherwise.After considerable 8 on my part , and kindness on her part because she wanted to 9 me , she agreed to have me refer her to a cancer surgeon.She saw him, but as I expected, 10 treatment.
About six months later she returned to my office, still energetic and 11 .
“How are you?” I asked.
"I'm just fine, honey," she responded 12 high spirits."When can I get started on fixing my dentures(假牙)? "
Surprised to see her at all, I answered 13 , " Let me take a look in your mouth and we'll see about it." "
I couldn't believe my eyes.The cancer that had 14 nearly the entire roof of her mouth was gone-only one small area of redness 15 .
I had read of such things happening ,but had 16 seen them with my own eyes.That was my first miracle.Since then I've seen many others, because they keep getting 17 to see.In fact, miracles are daily events for me now.And people are all miracles, 18 through them we have a chance to know ourselves and to 19 the miracles of one another.
Since my first miracle, I've come to understand that the time and place for a miracle is 20 we choose to find it.

ON receiving my learner driver license a couple of months ago, I started driving lessons straight away.In New Zealand, the 1 driving age is 15.
However it wasn't 2 two days ago that Dad finally allowed me to drive on the motorway.Our 3 was Orewa, a seaside town about 60 kilometers away from my home in Auckland.That morning I 4 sure I had enough to drink and went to the toilet(厕所)about three times 5 we left.I thought I was totally 6 for the journey, but nothing could have prepared me for my family's 7 ."Relax! Don't hold the steering wheel(方向盘)so 8 .The car is going zigzag(弯弯曲曲的)," called a nervous voice from the 9 ."Speed up.70km/h isn't fast enough.You are holding up the traffic," another voice ordered from the seat next to mine.
How 10 ! My parents were really starting to get on my nerves.To satisfy them I sped up and within a second, an angry voice began to yell again."Stop! 11 ! Are you crazy?” Everything did not go fine until I pulled off the motorway and drove into the city, 12 the speed limit was only 50km/h.
My family seemed relieved(放心的)and 13 telling me what to do.They all looked out of the windows and enjoyed the scenery. 14 , that silence didn't last very long.My mum suddenly cried out, "Look at those birds above us. 15 they lovely?"
How did she expect me to look up in the 16 ? As the driver I had to 17 .Who knows what would have happened if I had taken my eyes off the 18 ? Four hours later we drove home.This time the journey was much 19 than before as everyone else 20 fast asleep.So, I just took my time and enjoyed the drive.

It was the last day of the final examination in a large eastern university.On the steps of one building, a group of students were talking about the exam that was going to begin in a few 1 .On their faces was confidence.This was their 2 exam-then on to graduation and jobs.
Some talked of jobs they already had, others talked of jobs they 3 get.With the certainty of four years of college, they felt 4 and able to take control of the world.
The coming exam, they knew, would be a(n) 5 task, as the professor had said they could bring 6 books or notes they wanted, requesting only that they did not 7 each other during the test.
8 they entered the classroom.The professor passed out the papers.And smiles 9 on the students' faces as they found there were only five questions.
Three hours had passed 10 the professor began to collect papers.The students no longer looked confident.On their faces was a frightened expression.Papers in hand, no one spoke as the professor faced the class.
He looked at the 11 faces before him, and then asked:“How many completed all five questions?” 12 a hand was raised.
“How many answered four?” Still no hand.
“Three? Two?” The students moved restlessly in their seats.
“One, then? Certainly somebody finished 13 .” But the class remained silent.
The professor put down the papers.“That is exactly what I 14 ,” he said.“I just want you to know that, although you have completed four years of study, there are 15 many things about the 16 you don't know.These questions you could not answer are relatively common in everyday 17 .” Then, smiling, he added, “You will all 18 this course, but remember-even though you are now college graduates, your education had just 19 .”
The years have weakened the name of the professor, but not the 20 he taught.
