Several years ago, we moved into the apartment where we live now. When my friends helped me move in, the downstairs neighbors began to 16 about the noise. I could do 17 about it. After all, noises are unavoidable(不可避免的).How can anyone move in 18 .
Still 19 ,the complaints continued on a daily basis—well after the first day. We walked “too loudly”down the stairs, we laughed too often, we opened and closed the door too many times…They had many 20 to complain.
Nobody can stand the endless complaints and quarrels. I soon learned that they had 21 the last few families who lived above them by the same way. So I had the information I needed and I tried to 22 every situation carefully.
I tried to walk in 23 to avoid any possible noises. Whenever they called 24 came to the door with a complaint, no matter how unreasonable, I simply listened. From their confused expressions, I could imagine that they had never expected to get a 25 attitude from me.
Of course, it was hard to keep calm but my sister and I 26 . I told my sister that we were going to be pleasant and 27 them to change their attitude to neighbors. I explained to her that they probably felt 28 in their lives because they are common people. 29 , they were always looking for a 30 to show their power so that nobody could look down upon them. I continued smiling and greeting them as I saw them, much to their 31 .On more than one occasion(不止一次), I ended up 32 them. They thanked me before they left.
Unexpectedly, the next time I saw them, they all smiled and 33 friendly. We had a short but pleasant 34 . Ever since then, they’ve been very pleasant neighbors, and we’ve become good 35 .

My friend Michelle is blind, but you’d never know it. She makes such good use of her other __1 , including her “sixth sense”, that she seldom gives the impression (印象) that she’s 2__ anything. It’s really amazing.
Michelle 3 her children pretty much like the rest of us, except that she isn’t too hard on them. Her children really benefit a lot from her 4 __attitude. She knows when to clean the house, and she moves around so fast that 5 often don’t realize she’s blind.
I 6 this the first time after my six-year-old daughter, Kayla, went to play there. When Kayla came home, she was very 7 about her day. She told me they had baked cookies, played games and done art projects. But she was 8 excited about her finger-painting project.
“Mom, guess what?” said Kayla, all smiles. “I learned how to 9 colors today! Blue and red make purple, and yellow and blue make green! And Michelle 10 with us”.
To my great 11 , my child had learnt about color from a blind friend! Then Kayla continued, “Michelle told me my 12 showed joy, pride and a sense of accomplishment (成就). She really 13 what I was doing!” Kayla said she had never known how good finger paints felt 14 Michelle showed her how to paint without looking at her paper.
I realized Kayla didn’t know that Michelle was blind. It had just never come 15 in conversation. When I told my daughter Michelle was blind, she was 16 for a moment. At first, she didn’t believe me. “But Mommy, Michelle knew exactly what was in my picture!” Kayla __17 . I knew my child was _18 because Michelle had listened to Kayla describe her art work. Michelle had also “heard” Kayla’s 19 in her work.
We were silent for a minute. Then Kayla said slowly, “You know, Mommy, Michelle did ‘see’ my picture. She just used my __20__.” Indeed, she uses a special type of “vision” that all mothers have.

There lived a king who liked art. One day an artist offered to paint the most
beautiful picture in the world on the wall of his palace.
So the king said, “All right, you may work on one of the walls in the new hall.” Just then, another artist said, “ Please allow me to work on the opposite wall. I shall make exactly what that man will make on the opposite wall. Moreover, I shall do so without looking at his work. I would even request you to have a thick curtain put up between the two walls so the either of us cann’t see the other.”
Everyone in the king’s court, including the king and the first artist was surprised. So the king decided to give the man a chance.
The following day a thick curtain was put into place and both the artists got to work. The first artist brought in a regular supply of paint, oil and water. But the second one would come with a cloth and a bucket of water every day.
A month later the first artist said that his work was completed and invited the king to come.
So the king sent the message to the second artist, saying he was coming to see their works that evening.
After seeing the first artist’s wall, the king was very impressed with the painting and gave him a huge sum of money as a reward. He then asked for the curtain to be opened up.
The same painting was seen on the opposite wall too! It was exactly like the one on the first wall. But this man had not seen what was going on, on the other side of the curtain.
The man said simply, “It’s very easy I just polished the wall every day!”
It was a wall made of white marble. The fellow polished it till it shone like a mirror.
The reflection of the painting across the room showed up in it!

It was 4 o"clock in the morning when I received the phone call．
“This is the emergency room calling and your son was just 36 in with severe burns on his face，neck and arms．We have called for a（n） 37 and are going to fly him to the burn unit in Seattle．” Seattle was 350 miles from his college，so we knew immediately this was 38 ．
The doctor described the 39 ，which caused the burns．At 6 am，our son and his friends decided to barbecue hamburgers in the courtyard of their apartment．When they 40 the charcoal（木炭），it burst into flames because they had sprayed too much gasoline（petrol）．The flames 41 my son’s shirt tail and shot from his waist to well over his head．
42 ，one of the boys was quick-minded，grasped my son，and 43 him on the grass．While it saved his life，it was not in 44 to save him from severe burns and the terrible scars（伤疤）．
After he 45 from the treatments，the doctors told him they would not do plastic surgery（整容）for 6 months 46 it takes that long for the skin to stop shrinking and wrinkling．So，he had to return to college with scars typical of severe burns．
When I was a child, my mother told my sister，who had a 10-inch, very 47__ scar on her arm，“Nancy，if you ignore the scar，other people will ignore it．It does not mean they will not 48 it，but it means it will not matter to them if it doesn’t matter to you．’’
I 49 this wisdom on to my son．He took my advice to 50 and returned to school with his head held high--glad he was alive．
By the end of the six-month waiting period，he decided that the scars did not 51 , sohe made the 52 to give up any plastic surgery．
We all have “scars” that we believe 53 people to keep away from us．And we spend a lot of time thinking that if only we looked different，or dressed differently，people would like us better．
But you see，people will only judge you by your looks，or your clothes，if you are judging yourself by these same 54 standards．Put your imperfections out of your mind and concentrate on what you value 55 yourself，and your beauty will shine through．

I was a single parent of four small children, working at a low-paid job. Money was always not enough, but we had a 36 over our heads, food on the table, clothes on our backs, and if not a lot, always 37 . Not knowing we were poor, my kids (孩子们) just thought I was 38 . I’ve always been glad about that.
It was Christmas time, and although there wasn’t enough 39 for a lot of gifts, we planned to hold a family party. And the big 40 for the kids was the fun of Christmas 41 .
They planned weeks ahead of time, asking 42 what they wanted for Christmas. Luckily, I had saved $120 for them to buy 43 .
The big 44 arrived. I gave each kid a twenty-dollar bill and 45 them to look for gifts of about four dollars each. Then everyone scattered(散开). We had two hours to shop; then we would 46 again at the “Santa’s Workshop”.
Driving home, everyone was in high Christmas spirits, 47 my younger daughter, Ginger, who was unusually 48 . She had only one small, flat bag with a few candies — fifty-cent candies! I was so angry, but I didn’t say anything 49 we got home. I called her into my bedroom and closed the door, ready to be 50 again. This is what she told me.
“I was looking 51 , thinking of what to buy, and I 52 to read the little cards on the ‘Giving Trees.’ One was for a little girl, four years old, and all she 53 for Christmas was a doll(玩具娃娃). So I took the card off the tree and 54 the doll for her. We have so much and she doesn’t have anything.”
I never felt so 55 as I did that day.
