　　One of my friends did business with somebody else a few years ago．Their freighter(货船)was upturned by a storm 　　1　　 and their hope, together with their merchandise vanished 　　2　　．He was so upset by the blow that he became 　　3　　 and couldn't 　　4　　 concentrate his attention．His 　　5　　 who suffered the same catastrophe never lost heart．His days went on as 　　6　　 as before．My friend asked him how he could 　　7　　it．He said：” You curse, you grieve, life goes on as usual; you are happy and enjoy yourself, the world 　　8　　as usual．Which course do you follow?”

　　That's how a person leads his life．When you are optimistic and in a good 　　9　　, your future seems sunny and bright．　　10　　, when you are worried and have your mind 　　11　　 in sadness, your future will turn dark．The latter situation, if you allow it 　　12　　, will cost you a great deal．You will lose 　　13　　 and courage to fight for the better．You will 　　14　　the joyful things that come your way．They are really the most important, the most reliable part of links of our life．If they get loose and drop 　　15　　, how can you keep happiness?

　　There's a poem 　　16　　 ：“Whether you are 　　17　　 or not, whether you like or dislike, show attention or 　　18　　, flowers bloom luxuriously all the same．” Yes, that's 　　19　　．Just as flowers keep blooming, fine days are passing away day after day．How to spend your days－joyfully or 　　20　　－will entirely depend on yourself．

　　If someone helps you out, should you “pay him or her back”? No- the best thing to do it is to “pay forward” by helping others．This is the 　　1　　 I have learned from a movie called just that：pay it Forward．The main character David invites homeless people into his house so that he can pay forward others' love toward him．　　2　　 by the plot, I decided to donate blood as my own way of “Paying it forward”．

　　One sunny afternoon, I went to a blood donation station in Jining．That afternoon was also my 18^th birthday．I thought of what I was doing as a wonderful gift to 　　3　　 and to others．

　　There was a long queue of 　　4　　．I joined it excitedly but became more and more 　　5　　 as the queue moved forward．Finally, it was my turn．I filled out an application form and had a physical examination．Then I started to give blood．

　　I sat down 　　6　　 a large box and extended my left hand．“Are you ready?” said the doctor with a warm smile．“Yep!” I replied with a confident smile 　　7　　．The needle was inserted into my vein(静脉)and a stinging(刺痛的)pain hit me．Seeing the red blood flowing, I felt a bit sick and dizzy．

　　“You should clench(紧握)and release your fist,” the doctor said．“Keep doing that 　　8　　 I tell you to stop．” I clenched and released throughout the whole process and 　　9　　 calmed down．By the end they had 400ml of my blood．

　　It means a lot to me that I 　　10　　 the start of my adult life with a blood donation．I showed how I 　　11　　 people in need．Many students think about doing something special or meaningful on their 18^th birthday, but only by 　　12　　 can we really make a difference and live a meaningful life．

　　I wandered in the park．The park bench was 　　1　　 as I sat down to read beneath the long, straggly(蔓延的)branches of an old willow tree．I was disappointed by life with 　　2　　 reason to frown, for the world was intent on dragging me down．

　　　　3　　 that weren't enough to ruin my day, a young boy out of 　　4　　 approached me, all tired from play．He stood right before me and said with great excitement, "Look what I found! "

　　In his hand was a flower, and what a 　　5　　 sight, with its petals(花瓣)all worn-not enough rain, or too little light．I faked a small 　　6　　 , wanting him to take his dead flower and leave, and then 　　7　　．

　　But instead of leaving he sat next to my side and placed the flower to his nose and declared with surprise, "It surely smells pretty and it's beautiful, too．That's why I picked it; here, it's for you．"

　　The weed before me was dying or dead．Not brilliant colors, orange, yellow or red．But I knew I must 　　8　　 it, or he might never leave．So I reached for the flower, and replied, "Just what I need．"

　　But 　　9　　 him placing the flower in my hand, he held it mid-air without 　　10　　 or plan．It was then that I noticed for the very first time, that young boy could not see： he was blind．

　　My 　　11　　 trembled, and tears shone like the sun as I 　　12　　 him for picking the very best one．"You're welcome, " he smiled, and then ran off to play, not 　　13　　 of the impact he'd had on my day．

　　I sat there and wondered how he 　　14　　 to see a self-pitying woman beneath an old willow tree．How did he 　　15　　 my difficult situation? 　　16　　 from his heart, he'd been blessed with true 　　17　　．

　　At last I could see, 　　18　　 the eyes of a blind child, the problem was not with the 　　19　　 ; the problem was me．And for all of those times I myself had been 　　20　　 , I vowed(发誓)to see beauty, and appreciate every second that's mine．

　　I held that wilted(枯萎)flower up to my nose and breathed in the fragrance of a beautiful rose and smiled as that young boy．

The Best Holiday

　　I was unbelievably proud of my nine-year-old daughter, Emily．　　1　　 to buy a mountain bike, she'd been saving her pocket money all year, as well as doing small jobs to earn extra money．

　　By Thanksgiving, she had collected only ＄49．I said, “ You 　　2　　 have your pick from my bicycle 　　3　　 ”．“Thanks, Daddy．But your bikes are so old．” She was right．All my girls’ bikes were 1950s models, not the kind a kid today would 　　4　　 choose．

　　As Christmas 　　5　　 near, Emily and I went bike shopping．As we left one store, she 　　6　　 a Salvation Army volunteer standing next to a big pot．“Can we give something, Daddy? ” she asked．“Sorry, Em, I'm out of 　　7　　．”

　　Throughout December, Emily continued to work hard．Then one day, she made a 　　8　　 announcement．“You know all the money I’ve been saving? ” she said hesitantly．“I'm going to give it to the poor people．” So one cold morning before Christmas, Emily handed her total savings of ＄58 to a volunteer who was really very 　　9　　．

　　This year 　　1　　 the 100th anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic．Like some American 　　2　　 in the 2008 financial crisis, the ship was thought to be “too big to 　　3　　 ”．But the banks failed and the Titanic failed．．．spectacularly! After hitting an iceberg, it plunged to the bottom of the 　　4　　 Ocean．In less than three hours, the “unsinkable” ship was just a wreck and over1, 500 people were dead．

　　Most of us know the story of the Titanic from watching the James Cameron film．It's now been released in a 3D version and new audiences can see the tragic event 　　5　　 and be moved by the love story of the two main characters, Jack and Rose．But Titanic is 　　6　　 a love story; it's the story of 　　7　　 ordinary people react when faced with 　　8　　 circumstances．

　　In 1852, the HMS Birkenhead foundered on rocks near the coast of South Africa．The British ship was carrying soldiers, and also many women and children．There weren't enough 　　9　　 for everyone so the order was given, “women and children first．” 　　10　　 the women and children were being saved, the soldiers stood at attention on deck and, 　　11　　 , went down with the ship．They faced their death with bravery and 　　12　　．

　　The 　　13　　 , “women and children first, ” became the standard on all British ships and it's exactly what happened on the Titanic．The ship's crew and many passengers realized that they would not be saved, 　　14　　 they did not panic．They helped others or 　　15　　 calmly for the icy death they knew was inevitable．In the movie, we see the ship's musicians playing to help 　　16　　 the passengers．We see the ship's officers keeping order as the lifeboats are loaded．And we see British gentlemen “keeping their heads” as all about them are losing theirs．

　　No one knows how they will react in the face of a disaster．It all 　　17　　 one's character．Remarkably, most people behave well．We have seen this in America's 911, in the 2008 Sichuan 　　18　　 and in Japan last year．　　19　　 such as the Titanic will happen, but the character of good people is 　　20　　．
