A few years ago, the company I work for sent my wife and me to live in New York for a year. I've always loved running, so I was really   (1)  when I found out the apartment they had rented for us was next to Central Park. This   (2)   that every morning I could go for a run before I went to work.

 Because a lot of people had told me to be   (3)   of thieves(窃贼) in the park, so usually I didn’t take anything with me. What could they   (4)   from me if I didn’t have anything? But one morning, my wife gave me a $10 bill and asked me to buy some   (5)  on the way.  So I took a $10 note out of my wallet.

While I was running through the park, another jogger   (6)  into me. He said sorry to me and  continued running. I thought it was a bit   (7)   so I checked my pocket and found that the money was missing, I started to run after him right away. I   (8)   caught him by his arm. I started shouting and told him to give me the $10. I am not usually a hot-headed person,    (9)   I got really angry this time. This seemed to frighten him, and he  quickly put his hand in his pocket and gave me the money. Then he ran away as fast as he could.      

 I bought the bread and went home. As soon as I got home, I began to tell my wife my story. “You won’t believe what happened to me,” I   (10)  . She stopped me, “I know, you  left the money for the bread on the kitchen table.”

  I used to have this serious problem. I would remember something selfish (自私的) or stupid I did   (1)   I was younger and the memory would hurt. In fact, I don’t know if it was pain in my     (2)   or just physical pain, but it would hurt.

         I would be eating dinner or taking a shower and I would feel the memory pouring out suddenly. There was no way I could   (3)   it. All I could do was wait until the memory went away. It took me a long time to recognize I was   (4)   a type of grief (悲伤) and that the way I was dealing with it wasn’t   (5)  . I’d stop and clench (攥紧) my fists until the   (6)  of the memory passed: half fighting it, half letting it overcome me. It was truly like a person who   (7)   

roller coasters (云霄飞车) riding a roller coaster: I would hold it firmly while on the ride, scream (尖叫), let it move quickly, and then just wish it would be over.

         Then, one day I realized there had to be   (8)  better than letting the past disaster of my life hurt me whenever it wanted to. I finally decided to deal with the problem   (9)   next time. That next time turned out to be a cold winter morning as I walked across the parking lot from the subway station. I could feel   (10)   and shame start to hit me. But this time, I didn’t react in an unhealthy way.   (11)   , I stopped walking, closed my eyes, and opened my   (12)   as if I was about to give someone a hug.

         I   (13)   the memory of a time when I acted stupidly and selfishly and hurt other people. I remembered all the details and then I   (14)  what I had done. Though all the things showed the fact that I was not   (15)  , I learned to forgive (原谅) myself. As a result, I stopped letting the memory control me.

  I still remember that day. I was waiting to get some money for shopping in a bank.  (1)  the crowd, I noticed a little boy carrying some sunglasses in one hand and a big bag in the other.

    The boy was about l0 years old. He was walking around the people inside the bank and asked them to buy his sunglasses. But  (2)  would buy any from him. He tried from one person to another. From the look on his face, I knew he would not ))  (3)   anyway.

    Now, I decided to have a talk with him. I went up and asked, "Do you go to school?" He nodded his head. Then I continued, "Why do you sell sunglasses?" He said nothing. I gave him $20 and said that I was not in  (4)  of the sunglasses but he could keep the money. To my  (5)   , his face changed a lot, which is still in my memory" today.

    I didn't know  (6)   to say next. Then he replied, " Either you buy sunglasses or you  (7)  back the money. I don't need your pity. " I felt very   (8)   for what I did, and I told him that I would buy two pairs.

    I took these sunglasses home and kept asking myself, "Did such a young boy need to do it for his self-respect(自尊)?" He could ____  (9)   take the $20 and left. But he chose to sell his sunglasses and get the money not because of others'   (10)  . I will remember this lesson forever.

Blake threw the toy across the room. It broke into pieces. “Blake!” his mom shouted. ”  (1)   did you do that?” She took him to the corner of the room and made him face the wall. “You have to stay here for fifteen minutes and think about what you did. The broken pieces can   (2)  someone.”

When fifteen minutes had passed, he turned around and said sorry to his mom, and then he was  (3)   to go out to play. His mom walked over to the corner where Blake had faced and   (4)   her hands on the wall. “A frog,” she said in surprise. She smiled and   (5)   to do something surprising.

While he was gone, his mum got busy with her  (6)  . The hours passed quickly and soon Blake was home again. It was supper time. His mom put the plates of food on the table. Blake just   (7)   his. “I don’t like salad. I hate it.” He wasn’t   (8)  .

“Just try it. I didn’t give you much.”

“No, I don’t want salad.”

Mom was   (9)  . “You go and stand in the corner for five minutes and think about how lucky you are to have  (10)  .”

When Blake got to the corner, he started to smile. “Frogs!” He looked at the wall. His mom had   (11)  the green frogs on the wall, each sitting on a lily pad, their long tongues sticking out, trying to   (12)   flies. Blake laughed. When it was time for his coming back, he still stayed at the corner.

“Why hasn’t Blake come back to eat his supper?” Dad wondered.

“He must be  (13)   the frogs.” Mum laughed. “Go and look.”

They both got up and went into the other room. “He   (14)   to spend so much time these days facing the wall. I thought it might make it a little less   (15)   for him.”

“That’s a gift of love,” Dad said, smiling.

  (4)  wrong with you. If nothing goes wrong, you will feel   (5)  toward the person who is looking at you that way. Eyes do speak, right?

      Looking too long at someone may seem to be impolite. But sometimes things are different.
