I don’t remember anything else except four little girls surrounding my mother, crying 24 a miracle（奇迹）
At that very moment ,someone 25 loudly on the door. 26 Behind him was a merry group of soldiers from the Army base where my father 27 as a minister . News had 28 that we were in trouble ,and his colleagues knew we needed some 29 .
With all the excitement ,even my dad 30 in a blanket to keep warm , came down and sat in front of a roaring fire in our room to watch his children be 31 by good Samaritants（乐善好施的人）. The presents were unwrapped , and we girls 32 packages and found a doll each and four board games.
What is 33 to me is that I don’t even remember what sickness my father was suffering from.I 34 remember an evening of laughter and 35 There were no expensive toys but 36 moments of friendship and fun given by young men who knew that a family was having a(n) 37 time . They gave their time and their 38 to little children who needed to laugh.
The most important thing in life aren’t things . And what about the true 39 of holidays ? I hope we all are able to remember a thing about the holidays that stirs(搅动)our heart , that isn’t really a thing at all, but the smile on a child’s face because we take a moment to hug or 40 a tear.

The reason for this is that__24__we try to change how we feel by using something outside of ourselves，like winning the lottery，or getting a new car or house，it never__25__.The resulting feelings of happiness are often fleeting (飞逝的)．We cannot__26__them for very long.In some way，it may be a good thing.It reminds us that happiness really does come from within and is__27__to us at any moment.True happiness has__28__to do with what is happening outside；it is an inside job.Happiness is a__29__.
We can make the decision to be happy for one day，when we__30__in the morning，every morning.We can find something that brings us great __31__，like sitting outside in the garden under an old tree and__32__the birds sing，or watching the dog or cat play，and just__33__the moment.It is our__34__state and we need only allow it in.At any moment，we can__35__，take a deep breath，and remember who we really are，and why we came here，and that truly is to__36__joy and the aliveness of being.
“Happiness is like a butterfly which，when run after，is always __37__our reach，but，if you will sit down___38__，may fall upon you，” said Nathaniel Hawthorne，an American novelist.So，today，no matter what is going on in your own__39__，stop and take a few moments to breathe deeply and just__40__to be happy，whatever that means to you.

We all have weaknesses and strengths, no matter who we are. Sometimes the weaknesses seem to outweigh the strengths and sometimes it’s the other way around. Some people get sick easily. Some struggle to manage their money properly. Some people are hopeless communicators and struggle with relationships.
Many people accept it as just bad luck, but not everyone. Some people facing huge limitations still manage to achieve surprising things. They rise above their weaknesses and do not allow them to limit their possibilities.
I attended a school prize-giving ceremony not so long ago and the guest speaker was Andrew Becroft, who had a severe stutter(口吃) as a child. Instead of allowing this to limit him, he chose to work hard to overcome it. He is now the Principal Youth Court Judge for New Zealand. Not only did he become successful, but he did so in a profession where he had to speak in front of others regularly.
Lots of people face far more significant limitaions than you do. They may be missing limbs or are born into extreme poverty. But no matter what the limitation you will always find people who have overcome it. Brett Eastburn has no arms or legs and yet is an inspirational speaker and also a very good wrestler. Ringo Starr, drummer for the Beatles, came from a very poor background. He was constantly plagued with illness as a child and spent large amounts of time in hospital. Mark Inglis lost both of
his legs below the knees in a mountaineering accident, but has since climbed Mt Everest.
Most of us will never have to face the challenges these people faced. Yet most of us will never achieve to the degree that these people have either, unless we choose to. If Mark Inglis can climb the highest mountain in the world without legs, _________ ?

Unchangeable Love
One day I visited an art museum while waiting for my husband to finish a business meeting．I was expecting a quiet view of the splendid 36 ．
A young 37 viewing the paintings ahead of me 38 nonstop between themselves．I watched them a moment and __39___ the lady was doing all the talking．I admired the man"s 40 for putting up with her 41 stream of words． 42 by their noise, I moved on．
I met them several times as I moved through the various rooms of art．Each time I heard her constant flow of words, I moved away 43 ．
I was standing at the counter of the museum gift shop making a 44 when the couple approached the 45 ．Before they left, the man 46 into his pocket and pulled out a white object．He 47 it into a long stick and then tapped his way into the 48 to get his wife"s jacket．
"He"s a 49 man．" the clerk at the counter said．"Most of us would give up if we were blinded at such a young age．During his recovery, he made a promise his life wouldn"t change．
So, as before, he and his wife come in 50 there is a new art show．"
"But what does he get out of the art?" I asked．"He can"t see．"
"Can"t see! You"re 51 ．He sees a lot．More than you and I do," the clerk said．"His wife 52 each painting so he can see it in his head．"
I learned something about patience, 53 and love that day．I saw the patience of a young wife describing paintings to a person without __54_ and the courage of a husband who would not 55 blindness to change his life．And I saw the love shared by two people as I watched this couple walk away, hand in hand．
