The seller looked terribly   47  . “My dear lady!” he replied. “I’m a poor,   48   farmer. These are the cheapest tomatoes on the market!”

The story I’m going to tell truly happened in my life.

The other day, I met a man outside the gym who_16___a movie star. He was handsome and smiling. His upper body was muscular and he __17_to be on top of the world.

“How are you?” I _18___with a smile. “I’m doing really well,” he replied in a cheerful voice. His enthusiasm and big smile _19___the parking garage . _20___as he walked up, I _21___his long legs were thin and I saw he had a silver cane(手杖).“Why do you need that cane?” I couldn’t _22___thinking he had a minor injury. “I have MS,” he answered in a _23___ voice too, as his broad smile __24__left his face. Multiple Sclerosis is a very serious disease and often painful. I looked at him from my little red sports car and said, “You _25___it very well. You seem like a happy man _26___ the MS.” Without losing a bit of his smile he replied, “ I am a happy man,” and then added, “I’d be even happier if I had that sports _27___.”

 It was ironic(讽刺的). Just _28___we spoke, I’d been sitting in that little sports car, feeling sad about my painful shoulder over the last 11 months although I was _29___ after an operation. Here’s a man with a __30__far tougher than mine, but his positive attitude made him feel no _31___happiness. He went on with his enjoyment of life as usual, which moved me deeply.

     It was also a wonderful reminder of that old _32___, “I cried because I had no shoes. Then I met a man who had no feet.” _33___ your problems, just keep in__34__that none of us goes through life __35__and like the man with MS, make the most of what you have. Count your blessings.

I used to live selfishly, I should admit. But one moment changed me.

I was on my lunch break and had    44___the office to get something to eat .

On the way, I ___45__a busker(街头艺人)，with a hat in front of him. I had some ____46___ in my pocket, but I would not give them to him, thinking to myself he would ___47___ use the money to feed his addiction to drugs or alcohol. He___48__like that type-young and ragged. ____49__what was I going to spend the money on? Only to feed my addiction to Coca-Cola or chocolate! I then ____50__I had no right to place myself above ____51__just because he was busking.

I ____52__ and dropped all the coins into his  ___53___and he smiled at me, I watched for a while. As ____54__as it sounds, I expected something more to come from that moment—a feeling of ___55___or satisfaction, for example. But nothing happened ___56____, I walked off. “It proved to be a waste of ____57____,”I thought.

On my way home at the end of the___58__, I saw the busker again and he was  __59___ . I watched him pick up the hat and walk___60__ a cafe counter. There he poured the _61____contents into a tin collecting __62____ an earthquake fund-raising(募捐) event. He was busking for charity(慈善)！

Now I donate any ____63__ I have to charity tins and enjoy the feeling of giving.

I ran into a stranger as he passed by. “I’m so sorry!” was my reply. Then he said. “Excuse me too——I wasn’t    36  watching  for you.” We were very polite, this stranger and I. Then we went   37 our way after saying goodbye.

But at   38   , a different story is told. How we treat our loved ones, young and old. Later in the kitchen, as I   39   our meal, my daughter walked up to me, very still. When I turned, I   40   knocked her down. “Get out of the way!” I shouted with a frown(皱眉头). She stepped away silently, with her little heart   41   . I didn’t realize how harshly I had spoken.

That night, when I lay   42   in bed, God’s quiet voice spoke to me, “While   43   with a stranger, you are calm and polite, but with those you love, you are QUICK to excite—Go look around on the kitchen floor, you will find some flowers there by the   44  . Those are the flowers she brought for you. She   45   them herself—pink, yellow, and your favorite blue. She stood there quietly, and you never saw the   46   in her eyes.”

By this time, I felt sad and small and now my own tears had begun to fall. I quietly went and knelt by her   47   , “Wake up, my dear,” I said. “Are these the flowers you picked up for me?” She smiled, “I found them out by the tree. I   48   them in a napkin, just for you. I knew you’d like them, especially the   49   .” I said, “I am so sorry that I missed them today—and I   50   have fussed（发牢骚）at you that way.”

And she whispered, “Mommy, that’s Ok—I still love you   51   .”I hugged her and said, “I love you too, and I love the flowers.”

Do you know that: if you die tomorrow, the   52   you are working for could easily replace you in a matter of days. But the family you leave   53   will feel the loss for the rest of their lives. And come to think of it, we pour ourselves more into our   54   than into our families—an unwise investment indeed.

Remember that   55   =（F）ATHER—（A）ND—（M）OTHER—（I）—（L）OVE—Y（OU）.

Once upon a time, there were two men. One was hard-working and had a lot of  36  and perseverance (毅力), while the other was  37_ and never did any work. One night, they decided to have a competition between them. The contest was simple: the   38 _person to see daylight would be the winner, and the winner would__ 39_a prize. Both men agree to do it, and the competition started.

The hard-working man immediately_ 40   and ran towards the west after the sun, while the lazy man just sat there and_ 41__ . The hard-working man, looking at the competitor, _42__ at his foolishness and kept going at his quick pace.

The hard-working man had been   45_ for 6 hours already, and he was surprised that he still had not   46__  daylight. Thinking it would be just around the corner, he  47_ on running until he finally came back to where he started, 24 hours  48 _. Upon arriving, he saw the lazy man seated there, smiling and waiting for him, holding the  49  he earned.

The hard-working man was   50  how this lazy man could earn it—he hadn't done anything at all!

You were lucky. If I had decided to  54  you and not to tell you, you would be continuing this pursuit (追赶) till your death." The hard-working man knew in his heart that the lazy man was right.

Sometimes, perseverance can__ 55_ you from the truth that what you are doing is wrong.
