Several years ago,while attending a communication course,I experienced a most unusual process.The instructor asked us to list 1 in our past that we felt 2 of,regretted,or incomplete about and read our lists aloud. This seemed like a very 3 process,but there’s always some 4 soul in the crowd who will volunteer.The instructor then 5 that we find ways to 6 people or take some action to right any wrongdoings.I was seriously wondering how this could ever 7 my communication. Then the man next to me raised his hand and volunteered this story:Making my 8 ,I remembered an incident from high school.I grew up in a small town.There was a Sheriff 9 of us kids liked.One night,my two friends and I decided to play a 10 on him.

Nearly 20 years later,Sheriff Brown’s name 13 on my list.I didn’t even know if he was still 14 .Last weekend,I dialed the information in my hometown and found there was a Roger Brown still listed.I tried his number.After a few 15 ,I heard,”Hello?” I said,”Sheriff Brown?” Paused.”Yes.” “Well,this is Jimmy Calkins.” “And I want you to know that I did it!” Paused.”I knew it!” he yelled back.We had a good laugh and a 16 discussion.His closing words were:”Jimmy,I always felt bad for you 17 your friends got it off their chest,but you were carrying it 18 all these years.I want to thank you for calling me for your sake.” Jimmy inspired me to 19 all 101 items on my list within two years,and I always remember what I learned from the course:It’s never too late to 20 the past wrongdoings. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

A man found the cocoon (茧) of a moth (蛾). He took it home so that he could 1 the moth come out of the cocoon. On that day a small 2 appeared. He sat and watched the moth for several hours as the moth struggled to 3 the body through that little hole. Soon it seemed to stop making any progress. It appeared as if it had 4 as far as it could and it could go no further. It just seemed to be stuck. So the man, out of his kindness, decided to help the moth. He took a pair of scissors and cut off the _5 _ bit of the cocoon. The 6 then came out easily. But it had a swollen body and small, shriven (无用的) wings. The man continued to watch the moth because he expected that, at any moment, the wings would enlarge and 7 to be able to support the 8 , which would get smaller in time. Neither happened! In fact, the little moth spent the rest of its life 9 around with a swollen body and shriven wings. It was 10 able to fly. What the man in his kindness 11 was that the small cocoon and the 12_of the moth to get through the 13 opening was a way to push fluid (液体) 14 the body of moth 15 its wings so that it would be ready to fly 16 it got out of the cocoon. Freedom and 17 would come only after the struggle. By taking the struggle away, he also took away the moth"s health. Sometimes struggles are exactly what we need in our lives. If we were to 18 our lives without any difficulties, we would become disabled. We would not be as 19 as what we could have been. Give every opportunity a chance.
