I believe different people have experienced different adolescence.I must admit I was still an angry  (1)   in my first year of college.My   (2)   was that my parents didn't please me at all.

Our finances were   (3)  ， so I chose to go to a (n)   (4)   college and take a bus to classes every day. One day I had a(n)  (5)  fight with my father.We both exploded into shouts.I   (6)   out of the house and missed my bus to school.

I rushed all the way to school.As I   (7)   across the campus toward my class, I suddenly realized I didn't have the  (8)   that was due: a thought card.My professor asked us to   (9)   an index card with our names and the dates every Tuesday.   (10)   what was on the rest of the card, we could write a thought, a question or something else.

Now, outside the door, ten minutes later, I took an index card.   (11)   to write something

on it, I could only think about the  (12)   I'd just had with my dad.I wrote “I am the son of an idiot！”，then  (13)   into the room, and handed it to our professor.

Next day, our professor   (14)  the thought cards and I   (15)   he wrote, “What does the ‘son of an idiot’ do with the rest of his life？” The professor's innocent-seeming question   (16)  me to the issue: whose problem is it?   (17)  ， my thinking began to shift.I realized that I had created a life  (18)   I was not a central figure!

The   (19)   of growth wasn't easy or fast.   (20)   later，from a struggling student, I became a successful student and then a successful teacher.

Many people believe everything or almost everything they read in newspapers or hear on radio. A few years ago I   (1)   a story about a husband and wife who made a   (2)  mistake. They had gone shopping and had taken their small baby   (3)   with them. After they had finished their shopping, they returned to their car to go home.   (4)   they reached their car, they put the baby in the plastic baby carrier that   (5)   rode in for safety. The couple then   (6)   in their car toward home. After they had driven a few miles, they   (7)   the back seat to see how the baby was. To their surprise, the baby was not there. According to the   (8)  , the couple had put the plastic seat and the baby on the top of the car but had   (9)   to put him inside the car. They had driven away with the baby on the top of the car.

The couple drove back   (10)   the store but did not find the baby. They called the police, and the police said that they   (11)   the baby and that the baby was   (12)  . The baby had fallen from the top of the car but had been   (13)   by his plastic seat. The   (14)   couple took their baby home and were always careful after that.

There was one thing   (15)   with the story. It was not true. Stories such as this one are often   (16)   in newspapers and on radio and television. Because they are read and heard   (17)   that usually report the truth, many people believe them. People also believe them because, like the story   (18)  , they have something unusual or frightening about them. What is   (19)   is that newspaper and radio reporters   (20)   believe them.

IKEＡ's founder Ingvar Kamprad, ranked 4^th richest man in the world, drives a 15-year-old car and always flies economy class, in part to   41  his 90,000 employees world wide to see the   42 of frugality(节俭). This billionaire Swede, who turns 80 on March 30,   43  his legendary habits during a rare television    44    in Switzerland, his second home for nearly 30 years.

His   45  was recently estimated at $28billion by Forbes magazine   46  only Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates, US investor Warren Buffet and Mexican industrialist Carlos Slim.

"Peoplesay I am cheap and I don't   47  if they do. But I am very   48  to follow the rules of our company," Kamprad said.

Asked to confirm he   49  an old Volvo, he said:" She is nearly   50 , just 15 years old."

Interviewer teased that IKEA employees were   51  told to write on both sides of the paper.

"Why not? If there is such a thing as good   52 , it is to give a good   53 . I have to do so for all the IKEA employees," Kamprad replied.

"Everything we   54  we need as a reserve(宝藏). We have to still develop the IKEA group. We need many billions of Swiss francs to   55  China or Russia," he added.

IKEA is the world's biggest furniture retailer, with 202stores in 32 countries.

 56  for its inexpensive self made furniture, the family owned business claims its big and strong catalog(目录) is the most   57  read publication after the Bible.

"Our idea is to   58   everybody, including people with little money. We have to keep    59   down," he said.

"I'm not afraid of   60  80 and I have lots of things to do. I don't have time for dying," Kamprad said.

My dad works for a food organization that travels to country areas to offer food, medical help and entertainment. Recently I went with him to give    (1)    (2)   to people who lost their way. It was hot and tiring, so I ended up doing it   (3)   .

Then I saw two girls with   (4)  tasks. They walked up with smiles to people looking    (5)   and asked them if they needed help.   (6)   went up to an elderly woman   (7)   the other greeted a toothless and    (8)   man in rags（衣衫褴褛）. I saw the first girl talking    (9)   to the old woman and gave her a(an)    (10)   to cross the road. At the same time the second girl said, “Hello, sir. Is there something I can help you   (11)   today?” SIR?SIR?! She spoke to this man    (12)   he were an officer in the army! She   (13)   this man and made him feel loved and    (14)  . Never in my life had I seen a(an)   (15)   that displayed（展示）such care, love and respect!

To love another is not only to   (16)   the need, but also to have our mercy. Just then a little girl walked over to me, holding her mother’s hand. I    (17)   and asked what she needed... The experience gave me   (18)   because I could do something to    (19)   another. Taking time to show mercy has helped to develop my 59 .  It is surely the most important   (20)   to follow. Holding it, I open every room to let the sunshine flow in.

Twenty years ago, I drove a taxi for a living. One time I arrived in the middle of the night for a pick up at a building that was   (1)   except for a single light in a ground floor window. I walked to the door and   (2)   .

A small woman in her 80’s opened the door. I took her suitcase to the cab then returned to   (3)   her into the cab. She thanked me for my kindness. When we got in the taxi, she gave me a(n)   (4)   , then asked, “Could you drive through   (5)   ?”

“It’s not the   (6)   way,” I answered.

“Oh, I don’t   (7)   ,” she said. “I’m in no hurry. I’m on my way to a hospice (临终关怀医院).”

I looked in the rear view mirror. Her eyes were glistening (闪烁).

“The doctor says I don’t have very long.”

I quietly reached over and   (8)   the meter. “What   (9)   would you like me to take?” I asked.

For the next two hours, we drove through the city. She showed me the building where she had once worked as an elevator operator. We drove through the   (10)   where she and her husband had lived. Sometimes she’d ask me to   (11)   in front of a particular building or corner and would sit staring into the darkness, saying nothing.

As the sun was   (12)   , she suddenly said: “I’m   (13)   . Let’s go now.”

We drove in   (14)   to the address she had given me. There were people waiting for her and they put her in a wheelchair.

“How much do I   (15)   you?” she asked, reaching into her purse.

“Nothing,” I said.

Almost without thinking, I bent and gave her a hug. She held onto me   (16)   .

“You gave an old woman a little moment of   (17)   ,” she said.

I squeezed her hand, then walked into the dim morning light. Behind me, a door shut.

I didn’t   (18)   any more passengers that shift. I drove aimlessly,   (19)   in thought. We’re conditioned to think that our lives revolve around great moments. But great moments often   (20)   us unaware.

In the north of Scotland there is a lake called Loch Ness. It is the biggest   (1)    in Britain. It is over thirty kilometers long and nearly 300 meters   (2)   It is cold and dark and not many people went there until after 1930. Then a road was made   (3)   the lake.

Holiday makers began to use the road, and this was when the  (4)  began. Someone said that he had seen a monster(妖怪) in the lake. He said it was twelve meters long. It had a long   (5)  and a small head. Then someone else said he heard  (6)  . Others said the same thing and in 1933 a London doctor took a   (7)  . It   (8)   like a monster with a long neck and a thick body but the photo was not too  (9)  . The newspaper printed the picture and   (10)   it the Loch Ness monster, or “Nessie”. Then the argument began.   (11)   people, however, were certain there was something living in the lake. Others said there was   (12)   there. In 1961, a lot of people joined together to make a real   (13)   to see and photograph the monster to find   (14)   there was one! Several times people thought they saw something but after ten years there was   (15)   no real proof（证据）.

Later underwater television cameras were used, but   (16)   found any real proof. However, they  (17)  find something interesting: a huge underwater cave. It was big enough to be   (18)   of a monster, but of course, this was not a proof. In 1975,however, some American scientists  (19)   a search group. They used an underwater camera. It took pictures every seventy seconds. Some of the pictures seemed to show a redbrown creature. Its body was about four meters long,  (20)  had a very ugly head on the end of a four-meter neck. Many people then began to believe in the monster. But even today we can’t be certain.

It was the end of my first day as a waitress in a New York restaurant. My cup had gone away, and my feet   (1)   . The   (2)  plates I carried seemed to be heavier and heavier.   (3)  and discouraged, I didn’t seem able to do anything right. As I made out a check for a family with several children who had changed their ice-cream  44   a dozen times, I was ready to stop. Then the father  45  at me as he handed me my tip. “Well done,” he said, “you have   (4)   us really well.”

Suddenly my tiredness   (5)  . I smiled back, and later, when the  48 _  asked me how I’d like my first day, I said, “Fine!” Those few words of praise had   (6)   everything. Praise is like  (7)   to the human spirit; we cannot flower and grow without it. And   (8)  , while most of us are only too  (9)   to apply to others the cold wind of criticism, we are   (10)  to give our fellows the warm sunshin e of praise. Why---when one word of praise can bring such   (11)   ?
     It’s strange how chary (吝啬)we are about praising. Perhaps it’s   (12)  few of us know how to accept it. It’s   (13)  rewarding to give praise in areas in which   (14)   generally goes unnoticed or unmentioned．An artist gets admired for a glorious picture，a cook for a    (15)   meal．But do you ever tell your laundry(干洗店) manager how pleased you are when the   (16)  are done just right? In fact，to give praise  (17)  the giver nothing but a moment’s thought and a moment’s effort．

“Where would we be right now if I did not have the restaurant? How else would I be able to provide for our family? Who give me, a man without  (1)  ，a job?” My father  (2)  say these things on our car rides to the stores that supply our  (3)

My father is a  (18)  in which I can only hope to catch a reflection(反省)of myself. He is the one I strive to model myself after.  (19)  , when I make a great name for myself as a doctor, someone will ask, “Where did you get such a great work ethic  (道德) ?”

“My father!” I’ ll say, adjusting(调整) my   (20)  and I’ ll smile.
