“Each of us is put here on to learn, share, love and appreciate. None of us knows when this fantastic will end. It can be at any moment. Perhaps we must make the most out of every single .” His eyes beginning to , he went on, “So I would like you all to make me a(n) . From now on, on your way, find something beautiful to . It doesn’t have to be something you see — it could be a sweet smell or it could be the sound of the leaves. Please look for these things, and cherish (珍视) them.”
The class was completely quiet. We all our books and got out of the classroom . That afternoon, I noticed more things on my way home from than I had that whole term. Every once in a while, I think of that teacher and what he had said, and I try to appreciate all of those things that we all ignore.

The tourist bus winded its way into a mountainous area. When it was to make a turn, two passengers－a of young lovers－were so attracted by the beautiful scenery that they a stop to get down. They were left behind and the bus went . Suddenly they heard a loud boom of the road. It was a huge rock rolling down in the landslide that hit the bus and fell with it into a deep valley. The lovers were greatly by the news that no passengers on board . When they calmed down they and expressed their feelings in a few words.
The above story was told by a guide when we were riding a tourist to a scenic mountain. He asked us to guess what the lovers said after the disaster that they had narrowly escaped.
Often we read reports about traffic accidents, among which there were ones who missed the bus and the disaster. Those people usually said with a sigh of “Fortunately I was not on board.” On our bus the passengers’ to the guide were various.
But the answer was quite out of our expectation. “If we hadn’t got down and the bus, it would have the dangerous spot and all the passengers would have survived.”
The story passed from person to person as a sort of wit (智慧) test, but I think . It actually serves as a(n) of a person’s mind. I pay my heart-felt respect to the couple who, instead of feeling lucky, themselves for causing the loss of lives. People all have heart for , but it is often a flashing thought across one’s mind that decides whether it is good or evil (邪恶的).
