| A man and his girlfriend were married. It was a large celebration. All of their friends and family came to see the lovely ceremony and to partake(分享,参与) of the festivities and celebrations. All had a wonderful time. The bride was gorgeous in her white wedding gown and the groom was very dashing in his black tuxedo(礼服). Everyone could tell that the love they had for each other was true. A few months later, the wife came to the husband with a proposal, "I read in a magazine, a while ago, about how we can strengthen our marriage," she offered. "Each of us will write a list of the things that we find a bit annoying with the other person. Then, we can talk about how we can fix them together and make our lives happier together." The husband agreed. So each of them went to a separate room in the house and thought of the things that annoyed them about the other. They thought about this question for the rest of the day and wrote down what they came up with. The next morning, at the breakfast table, they decided that they would go over their lists. "I"ll start," offered the wife. She took out her list. It had many items on it, enough to fill three pages. In fact, as she started reading the list of the little annoyances, she noticed that tears were starting to appear in her husband"s eyes. "What"s wrong?" she asked. "Nothing," the husband replied, "keep reading your list." The wife continued to read until she had read all three pages to her husband. She neatly placed her list on the table and folded her hands over the top of it. "Now, you read your list and then we"ll talk about the things on both of our lists," she said happily. Quietly the husband stated, "I don"t have anything on my list. I think that you are perfect the way that you are. I don"t want you to change anything for me. You are lovely and wonderful and I wouldn"t want to try and change anything about you." The wife, touched by his honesty and the depth of his love for her and his acceptance of her, turned her head and wept. In life, there are enough times when we are disappointed, depressed and annoyed. We don"t really have to go looking for them. We have a wonderful world that is full of beauty, light and promise. Why waste time in this world looking for the bad, disappointing or annoying when we can look around us, and see the wondrous(奇妙的) things before us? | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Even though it was only October, my students were already talking about Christmas plans. With each passing day everyone became more 1 , waiting for the final school bell. Upon its 2 , everyone would run for their coats and go home except David. David was a small boy in ragged (破旧的)clothes. I had often 3 what kind of home life David had, and what kind of mother could send her son to school dressed so 4 for the cold winter months, without a coat, boots or gloves. But something made David 5 . I can still remember he was always 6 a smile and willing to help. He always 7 after school to straighten chairs and sweep the floor. We never talked much. He 8 just simply smile and ask what else he could do, then thank me for letting him stay and slowly 9 home. Weeks passed and the 10 over the coming Christmas grew into restlessness(***动不安)until the last day of 11 before the holiday break. I smiled in relief as the last of them 12 out of the door. Turning around, I saw David 13 standing by my desk. "I have something for you," he said and 14 from behind his back a small box. 15 it to me, he said anxiously, "Open it." I took it over from him, thanked him and slowly unwrapped it. I lifted the lid and to my 16 saw nothing. I looked at David"s smiling face and back into the box and said, "The box is nice, David, but it"s 17 ." "Oh no, it isn"t," said David, "It"s full of love. My mum told me before she died that love is something you can"t see or touch unless you know it"s there." Tears filled my eyes 18 I looked at the proud dirty face that I had 19 paid attention to. I never forget the meaning 20 the little empty box set on my desk. After that Christmas, David and I became good friends. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
