After spotting a 18 on the front seat inside a parked car with its window down， he stood guard in the rain for about two hours waiting for the 19 to return.
After hours in the cold and wet， he 20 inside and pulled the wallet out hoping to find some ID so he could contact（联系）the driver， only to 21 it contained £400 in notes， with another £50 in spare change beside it.
He then took the wallet to a nearby police station after 22 a note behind to let the owner know it was safe. When the car’s owner John Anderson and his colleague Carol Lawrence returned to the car—which was itself worth £35， 000—in Glasgow city centre， they were 23 to find two policemen standing next to it. The policemen told them what Mr. Smith did and that the wallet was 24 .
The pair were later able to thank Mr. Smith for his 25 .
Mr. Anderson said: ＂I couldn’t believe that the guy never took a penny. To think he is sleeping on the streets tonight 26 he could have stolen the money and paid for a place to stay in. This guy has nothing and 27 he didn’t take the wallet for himself；he thought about others 28 . It’s unbelievable. It just proves there are 29 guys out there.＂
Mr. Smith’s act 30 much of the public’s attention. He also won praise from social media users after Mr. Anderson 31 about the act of kindness on Facebook.
Now Mr. Anderson has set up an online campaign to 32 money for Mr. Smith and other homeless people in the area， which by yesterday had received 8，000. ＂I think the faith that everyone has shown 33 him has touched him. People have been approaching him in the street； he’s had job 34 and all sorts，＂ Mr. Anderson commented.
For Mr. Smith， this is a possible life-changing 35 . The story once again tells us that one good turn deserves another.

＂Ladybug Jars＂ to collect everyone’s spare change during ＂Make Change＂ month. More recently， the foundation began another 47 called National Red Scarf Day — a day when people donate $20 and wear red scarves in support of Canada’s 48 and homeless.
There is an emergency shelter in Winnipeg called ＂Hannah’s Place＂， something that Hannah is very 49 of. Hannah’s Place is divided into several areas， providing shelter for people when it is so cold that 50 outdoors can mean death.

The children of Nome would be 17 if it struck the town. Dr. Welch needed medicine as soon as possible to stop other kids from getting sick. 18 , the closest supply was over 1,000 miles away, in Anchorage.
How could the medicine get to Nome? The town’s 19 was already full of ice, so it couldn’t come by ship. Cars and horses couldn’t travel on the 20 roads. Jet airplanes and big trucks didn’t exist yet.

The race began on January 27. The first musher, Shannon, picked up the medicine from the train at Nenana and rode all night. 26 he handed the medicine to the next musher, Shannon’s face was black from the extreme cold.
On January 31, a musher named Seppala had to 27 a frozen body of water called Norton Sound. It was the most 28 part of the journey.

Conditions were so bad that it was impossible for him to 31 the trail again. The only hope was Balto, Kaasen’s lead dog. Balto put his nose to the ground, 32 to find the smell of other dogs that had traveled on the trail. If Balto failed, it would mean disaster for Nome. The minutes passed by. Suddenly, Balto began to 33 . He had found the trail.

The journey my daughter Cathy has had with her swimming is as long as it is beautiful.
Cathy suffered some terrible 16 in her early childhood. After years of regular treatment, she 17 became healthy.
Two years ago, while Cathy was watching the Olympics, a dream came into her sweet little head — to be a swimmer. Last summer, she wanted to 18 our local swim team. She practiced hard and finally 19 it. The team practice, 20 , was a rough start. She coughed and choked and could hardly 21 her first few weeks. Hearing her coughing bitterly one night, I decided to 22 her from it all. But Cathy woke me up early next morning, wearing her swimsuit 23 to go! I told her she shouldn’t swim after a whole night’s coughing, but she refused to 24 and insisted she go.
From that day on, Cathy kept swimming and didn’t 25 a single practice. She had a 26 intention within herself to be the best she could be. My ten-year-old was growing and changing right before my eyes, into this 27 human being with a passion and a mission. There were moments of 28 of course: often she would be the last swimmer in the race. It was difficult for Cathy to accept that she wasn’t a 29 — ever. But that didn’t stop her from trying.
Then came the final awards ceremony at the end of the year. Cathy didn’t expect any award but was still there to 30 her friends and praise their accomplishments. As the ceremony was nearing the end, I suddenly heard the head coach 31 , ＂The highest honor goes to Cathy!＂ Looking around, he continued, ＂Cathy has inspired us with her 32 and enthusiasm. 33 skills and talents bring great success, the most valuable asset(财富) one can hold is the heart.＂
It was the greatest 34 of my daughter’s life. With all she had been 35 in her ten years, this was the hour of true triumph(成功).

During the war,my husband was stationed at an army camp in a desert in California.I went to live there in order to be 21 him. I hated the place.I had never 22 been so unhappy. My husband was ordered out on a long-term duty,and I was left in a tiny shack(棚屋) alone. The heat was 23 —almost 125 °F even in the shade of a cactus(仙人掌). 24 a soul to talk to. The wind blew non-stop,and all the food I ate,and the very air I breathed,were 25 with sand, sand, sand!
I was so sorry for myself that I wrote to my parents. I told them I was 26 and coming back home.I said I couldn’t stand it one minute longer. I 27 be in prison! My father answered my 28 with just two lines—two lines that will always sing in my 29 — two lines that completely changed my life:
Two men looked out from prison bars,
One saw the mud,the other saw the stars.
I read those two lines 30 . I was ashamed of myself. I made up my mind I would find out what was good in my present 31 I would look for the stars.
I made friends with the natives,and their 32 amazed me. They gave me presents of their favorite artworks which they had 33 to sell to tourists. I studied the delightful forms of the cactus.I watched for the desert sunsets,and 34 for seashells that had been left there millions of years ago when the desert had been an ocean 35 .
What brought about this 36 change in me? The desert hadn’t changed, 37 I had.I had changed my 38 . And by doing so,I changed an unhappy experience into the most amazing 39 of my life. I was excited by this new world that I had discovered. I had looked out of my self-created prison and 40 the stars.

One of the easiest things in the world is to become a fault-finder. However, life can be 353 when you are not busy finding fault with it.
Several years ago I 354 a letter from seventeen-year-old Kerry, who described herself as a world-class fault-finder, almost always 355 by things. People were always doing things that annoyed her, and 356 was ever good enough. She was highly self-critical and also found fault with her friends. She became a really 357 person.
Unfortunately, it took a horrible accident to change her 358 . Her best friend was seriously hurt in a car crash. What made it almost 359 to deal with was that the day before the 360 , Kerry had visited her friend and had spent the whole time criticizing her 361 of boyfriends, the way she was living, the way she related to her mother, and various other things she felt she needed to 362 . It wasn’t until her friend was badly hurt that Kerry became 363 her habit of finding fault. Very quickly, she learned to appreciate life rather than to 364 everything so harshly(刻薄). She was able to transfer her new wisdom to other parts of her 365 as well.
Perhaps most of us aren’t as extreme at fault-finding, 366 when we’re honest, we can be sharply 367 of the world. I’m not suggesting you 368 problems, or that you pretend things are 369 than they are, but simply that you learn to allow things to be as they are — 370 most of the time, and especially when it’s not a really big 371 .
Train yourself to ＂bite your tongue＂, and with a little 372 , you’ll get really good at letting things go. And when you do, you’ll get back your enthusiasm and love for life.

A Welcome Gift
Dario and his mother loved their new apartment. The living room was large enough for their piano. That night, the two of them 373 side by side at the piano. They played jazz music to celebrate their new home. The loud 374 filled the room and made them feel very happy.
The next morning, 375 , their happiness disappeared. Someone had left a 376 under their door during the night. One of their neighbors had written to complain about the sound of the piano. Dario’s mother asked the building superintendent(管理员) if he knew anything about it. But he said that they were all 377 people and he couldn’t imagine any of them had done that. Later that morning, Dario suggested that they write a letter to their 378 and apologize for their playing.
“Maybe we could go and 379 everyone in person.” his mother said.
“What if we invited them to come here for a 380 instead?” Dario asked.
They both loved the 381 . Over the next few days, they sent out invitations and prepared desserts 382 their guests. They decorated the apartment with streamers(彩带) and party lights.
Finally, the day of the party 383 . Some guests brought presents. Others brought flowers. Some even brought desserts to 384 . One woman, Mrs. Gilbert, 385 Dario’s mother with a book of piano music by Chopin.
“I heard you playing the other night,” she said. “The sounds woke me out of bed. I 386 that you might play like this every night. So I wrote a short note. I hope you don’t think I disliked the playing.”
Dario’s mother smiled at Mrs. Gilbert. “I think maybe we 387 you an apology.” she said. “I didn’t 388 how late it was when we were playing. Maybe we should play some quieter music at night.”
“You play, you play!” Mrs. Gilbert said. “I like what you play! Just not so loud at night.” She pointed to the book she had given them. “These songs are not such 389 music.”
“These songs are beautiful music.” Dario’s mother said. “We will be 390 to play them in the evening.”
“And we won’t play so loud or late!” Dario said. He was already looking forward to 391 the new music. More than that, however, he was happy to see the big smile on his mother’s face. It gave him a feeling of 392 and made him feel that they were home at last.

My fiance (未婚夫）and I were excited about shopping for our first home. But our funds (资金) were 393 , and none of the houses in our price range seemed satisfactory.
One agent (代理人) 394 a house in particular. Although her description sounded wonderful, the price was 395 our range, so we declined (拒绝). But she kept urging (催促) us to have a look 396 .
We finally did and it was 397 at first sight. It was Our Home, small and charming, overlooking a quiet lake. Walking through the rooms and talking with the owners, a nice elderly couple, we felt the warmth and 398 of the marriage within that home. As perfect as it was, the price remained too high for us. But every day, we would sit by the lake, looking at the house and dreaming of 399 it would be like to live there.
Days later, we made a(n) 400 —far below the asking price. Surprisingly, they didn’t 401 us. They renewed their offer 402 . It was also much more than we could afford but far 403 than the original asking price.
The next day, we got a 404 message that another buyer had offered a much higher price. Even so, we decided to talk with the 405 directly. We made our final offer, which 406 was thousands of dollars less than the other buyer’s bid. We knew it, 407 we had to try.
“Sold!” said the owner. Then he 408 : He’d seen us sitting by the lake all those times; he knew how much we loved the place and that we’d 409 the years of work they had put into their home; he realized he would take a 410 by selling it to us, but it was worthwhile; we were the people they wanted to live there. He told us to consider the 411 in the price as “an early wedding present.”
That’s how we found our home and how I learned that when people are 412 they are not strangers, only friends we haven’t yet met.

"Mum, can I invite my classmate Brett over to stay tomorrow night, please? It's Friday, and we don't have any 473 . Can I, please?" Mum was sitting at the kitchen table. Dad was 474 next to her, resting his head on his arms. Mum could 475 that James wanted so badly to have his friend over.
"I'm so sorry, James," she said.
"I'm never allowed to have friends come to the house? Why, Mum?" James asked sadly, almost in 476 .
"I know it's 477 for you," Mum said softly. "But I'm just worried other people might think we're a little. . . strange. And then they would make fun of you. "

The summer before I went off to college, Mom stood me in her usual spot behind the ironing board (烫衣板)and said, “Pay attention: I’m going to teach you to iron.”
Mom clearly explained her 493 for this lesson. I was going to be 494 and needed to learn this vital skill. Also, I would be meeting new people, and properly ironed clothes would help me make a good 495 .
“Learn to iron a shirt,” Mom said, “and you can iron anything.”
But ironing shirts was not 496 work. It didn’t make use of long muscles we used to throw a baseball，and it wasn’t a 497 operation like ice-skating. Ironing was like driving a car on a street that has a stop sign every 10 feet, Moreover, an iron produced steam and it carried an element of 498 If you touched the wrong part of it, you’d get burnt.

As for technique, Mom 500 me to begin with the flat spaces outward, always pushing the iron forward into wrinkled (有褶皱的）parts. Collars had to be done right. Mom said they were close to your face, where everyone would 501 them.
Over the years, I’ve learned to iron shirts skillfully, which gives me a sense of 502 Whatever failures I suffer in my life, an ironed shirt tells me I am good at something. 503 ,through ironing I’ve learned the method for solving even the most troublesome problems. “ 504 wrinkles one at a time,” as Mom might have said, “and before long everything will get ironed out.”

So it was with really great______that I stood in church one recent Sunday, video camera in hand, and ______my 68-year-old father sweating in his shirt ______rising to play the piano in his very first recital.
My father had longed to play music since childhood, but his family was poor and couldn’t _________lessons. He could have gone on regretting it, _______too many of us do. But though he was rooted in his past, he wasn’t ________there. When he retired three years ago, he _____ his church music director to take him as a student.
For a moment after my father sat down at the keyboard, he ______stared down at his fingers. Has he forgotten the ______?

But then came the beautiful melody(旋律)，from the _____fingers that once baited(装饵于) my fishing lines. And I______he had been doing what music teachers always stress:___ _____the music and pretend the others aren’t there.
“I’m ________of him for starting something new at his age,” I said to my son Jeff.

“Look,it’s Baldy!” A boy shouted in my direction across the playground. Even though I was used to regular insults (侮辱) because of the  545  on my head, it was  546  horrible to hear. I sighed as I headed back to the class.
When I was just 20 months old, I suffered serious  547  after a bowl full of hot oil fell on my head. I was  548  to hospital and had to stay there for weeks while the doctors  549  to save my life. “Holly’s very  550  to be alive,’”they told Mum and Dad. “But she’ll be  551  with scars on her head, and of course her hair won’t grow there. ”
As a child,I cared much about my scars,so I  552  wore a scarf to cover them up when I left home.  553  I didn’t,people would call me horrible names like Baldy. Although my friends were always comforting me, they never  554 understood how it felt.
Then through the hospital I was  555  to a children’s burns camp, where children like me can get any help. There, I  556  14-year-old Stephanie, whose burns are a lot more serious than mine. But she is so  557  that she never lets anyone put her down.“You shouldn’t  558  what people say about what you look like because we're not different from anyone else, Holly,” she  559  me. “And you don’t need to wear a scarf because you look great  560  it! ” For the first time in my life I could speak to someone who’d been through something  561  .So weeks later, at my 13th birthday party,  562  by her bravery, I gave up my scarf and showed off my scars. It felt amazing not having to  563  away behind my scarf.
Now,I am 564  of what I look like and much happier, because I have realized it is your personality(个性) that decides who you truly are.

I used to be a very self-centered person, but in the past two years I have really changed. I have started to think about other people 565 I think about myself. I am happy that I am becoming a 566 person:
I think my 567 started when I was at Palomar College. At first, I just wanted to get my 568 , and be left alone. I thought I was smarter than everyone else, so I hardly ever 569 to anyone in my classes. By the end of my first semester, I was really 570 . It seemed as if everyone but me had made friends and was having fun. So I tried a(n) 571 . I started asking people around me how they were doing, and if they were having trouble I 572 to help. That was really a big 573 for me. By the end of the year, I had several new friends, and two of 574 are still my best friends today.
A bigger cause of my new 575 , however, came when I took a part-time job at a Vista Nursing Home. One old lady there who had Alzheimer s disease became my 576 . Every time I came into her room, she was so 577 because she thought I was her daughter. Her real daughter never 578 her, so I took her place. She let me 579 . That making others feel good make me feel good, too. When she died, I was 580 , but I was very grateful to her.
I think I am a much 581 , person today than I used to be, and I hope I will not 582 these experiences. They have 583 e to care about other people more than about myself. 584 who I am today, and I could not say that a few years ago.

Around twenty years ago I was living in York. 625 I had a lot of experience and a Master’s degree,I could not find 626 work.
I was 627 a school bus to make ends meet and 628 with a friend of mine, for I had lost my flat. I had 629 five interviews(面试) with a company and one day between bus runs they called to say I did not 630 the job. “Why has my life become so 631 ？”I thought painfully.
As I pulled the bus over to 632 a little girl, she handed me an earring 633 I should keep it 634 somebody claimed (认领) it. The earring was painted black and said “BE HAPPY”.
At first I got angry. Then it 635 me—I had been giving all of my 636 to what was going wrong with my 637 rather than what was right！I decided then and there to make a 638 of fifty things I was happy with.

I often read of incidents of misunderstanding or conflict. I’m left 645 . Why do these people create mistrust and problems, especially with those from other 646 ?
I was growing up in Kuala Lumpur in the early 1960s, 647 children from different races and religions played and studied 648 in harmony. At that time my family lived a stone’s 649 from Ismail’s. And no one was bothered that Ismail was a Malay Muslim and I was an Indian Hindu—we just 650 our differences. Perhaps, our elders had not filled our heads with unnecessary advice, well 651 or otherwise.
We were nine when we became friends. During the school holidays, we’d 652 the countryside on our bicycles, hoping to 653 the unexpected. At times Ismail would accompany my family as we made a rare shopping trip to town. We would be glad of his 654 .
When I was twelve, my family moved to Johor. Ismail’s family later returned to their village, and I 655 touch with him.
One spring afternoon in 1983, I stopped a taxi in Kuala Lumpur. I 656 my destination. The driver acknowledged my 657 but did not move off. Instead, he looked 658 at me. “Raddar?” he said, using my childhood nickname(绰号). I was astonished at being so 659 addressed(称呼). Unexpectedly! It was Ismail! Even after two 660 we still recognized each other. Grasping his shoulder, I felt a true affection, something 661 to describe.
If we can allow our children to be 662 without prejudice, they’ll build friendships with people, regardless of race or religion, who will be 663 their side through thick and thin. On such friendships are societies build and 664 we can truly be, as William Shakespeare once wrote, “we happy few, we band of brothers”.

As I look back on that day now，it surely 731 any sense of reality.I believe I stayed in a state of pleasant disbelief 732 I was halfway through rehearsals(排练) on my first day.I never actually 733 to get the job.After being offered the position，I was completely 734 .I remember shaking with excitement.
Though I was absolutely thrilled with the change，it did not come without its fair share of 735 .Through the strict rehearsal period of dancing six days a week，I found it vital to 736 up the material fast with every last bit of concentration.It is that extreme 737 to detail(细节) and stress on practice that set us 738 .To then follow those high­energy rehearsals 739 a busy show schedule of up to five performances a day，I discovered a new 740 of the words “hard work”.What I thought were my physical 741 were pushed much further than I thought 742 .I learned to make each performance better than the last.
Today，when I look at the unbelievable company that I have the great 743 of being a part of，not only as a member，but as a dance captain，I see a 744 that has inspired not only generations of little girls but a splendid company that continues to develop and grow—and inspires people every day to follow their dreams.
