宽容是人世间最好的良药。对于一些无可挽回的悲剧或过失，过多的指责没有任何意义，因为悲剧或过失是任何人都不希望发生的。这时惟有以一种宽容的心态来对待身边的人或事，看待得与失。
Human Relations

A boy was born to a couple after eleven years of marriage. They were a loving couple and you can imagine how excited they were. Certainly the boy was 1 as the apple of their eyes.
One morning, the husband saw a medicine bottle 2 ．As he was late for work, he asked his wife to cap the bottle and ___3____. The mother, who was busy in the kitchen, 4 the matter. The boy playfully went to the medicine bottle, was 5 with its color,and drank it all. It 6 to be a poisonous medicine 7 adults in small dosages.

The husband just said “ 12 ”
The husaband was indeed 13 in human relationships.The child was dead. He could 14 be brought back to life.

America’s Beauty Is in Its Diversity
America is built on the idea of freedom, and there is no exception for Muslim women. I the freedom of religion and speech. But mostly, I believe it’s OK to be , and to stand up for who and what you are. So I believe in wearing the hijab.
The hijab is a religious head covering, like a scarf. I am Muslim, and keeping my head covered is a of maturity（成熟）and respect toward my and to Allah’s will. , I also like to wear it to be different. I don’t usually like to do what everyone else is doing. I want to be a(n) , not just part of the crowd. But when I first wore it, I was also afraid of the that I’d get at school.
I on my own that sixth grade was the I should start wearing the hijab. I was about what the kids would say or even do to me. I thought they might make fun of me, or be scared of me and my headscarf. Kids at that age usually like to be all the same, and there’s little or no of differences.
On the first day of school, I put all those thoughts behind my back and walked in with my head held high. I was holding my breath a little, but I was also proud to be a Muslim, proud to be wearing the hijab, proud to be different.
I was about everything I had thought the kids would say or even do to me. I actually met a lot of people because of wearing my head covering. Most of the kids would come and ask me questions — — about the hijab and why I wore it.
I did hear some kids were making fun of me, there was one girl----she wasn’t even in my class, and we never really talked much---and she spoke me, and I wasn’t even there! I made a lot of new friends that year, friends that I still have until this very day, five years later.
Yes, I’m different, but everyone is different here, in one way or another. This is the of America.

Have you ever wondered how to work out who your true friends really are? Here are a few tips for you to exactly who your true friends are.
First, it’s very difficult, especially you’re in a large group of friends where you have a very different range of . Some of them may be goof-offs or clowns, some of them may be very and intense, and some of them may just be the run of the mill(普通的) friends. However, in your life, when you’re looking for a friend, you want the friend that’s really going to be there for you when you need him or her and some positive information and positive attention.
So, I guess a good rule of thumb(单凭经验的方法) when you’re looking for a true friend, or who your true friends are, is to find the ones that really you when the going gets rough. That is, when you’re in a pot, they’re really there for you, being supportive, listening and trying to help you for yourself what you might want to do. A true friend will also you for who you are and not try to make you into something else that’s different. For , if you have a bat habit, they are going to accept you with that bad habit, the rest of the habits, instead of just ridiculing you about it, at you about it, or putting you down. We all have our shortcomings, and a true friend is one who accepting of you, no matter what your are.
It is very hard to the true friends, especially from a large group of friends, as the personalities began to mesh(匹配) over time. So, its you to be very aware, watch your friends, and look back at who’s really been there for you in your difficult situations.

【原创】A good friend of mine passed away in June. John had cancer. Before you offer , you should know that he didn’t want to be mourned(哀悼). It’s been a hard request to follow, but he felt he had lived a life. As the cancer progressed, we fell into a(n) of exchanging semi-regular emails. We generally talking about his illness until the very end, we talked about everything else: from baseball to snowstorms, to my garden and his art. We talked as if nothing would . I’d mention a beach trip and John would tell me about surfing there when he was younger. I’d talk about some press(新闻) that I would be attending and he’d tell me about the time he went to a party by JPMorgan’s descendants(后代). In this way, John gave me a(n) view of my world; it became layered with his stories.
One of our favorite things to do was email the other if we happened to find an interesting movie on television. The other night, I a very good movie, and without thinking about it I for my laptop to send him an email, and then I he wasn’t there to receive it. I put my laptop down with a small of uneasiness --- and found something else to watch.
It’s hard not to have a digital presence today. While John wasn’t an active social media ,he did have at least two email addresses, a LinkedIn account, and a website where he shared his art. Now that he’s , these thing still exist, though unattended. I’m sure his work email has been closed, but I have no idea if anyone is his other email address, or has the intention of contacting LinkedIn, or has to his website. I’m sure at some the registration will come to an end and his site will be closed, but until then, John has a(n) online.

“The way we choose to respond when others make mistakes can cause them to feel ashamed or can allow them to remember our kindness and share our stories with future generations．”
——Michelle Sedas
When I read the above quote I couldn’t help but Doris．She had been a science teacher by ，but she also was a very person．All around her room were dolls that she had made．They were the most interesting dolls I’d ever seen；each was very from the other．
By talking to Doris I learned she’d a class in doll making．One day while I was in her room she took one of the dolls out of the case to me．This doll was very with fine artistic work．I was that anyone could do such unique work．
As Doris was the doll carefully in her hand，I could see a slight break in the skirt．I was to know what happened．Doris said that on the way to class she the side of the skirt．She expressed how scared she was and almost didn’t go to at a11．When it came her to show the doll to the teacher，she had to point out the in the skirt．Doris felt for sure that the doll would be because of it．Much to her surprise the teacher told her she was just going to this break and grade the doll on the other good it had．Doris shared that this remark and from the teacher changed her life．
This teacher could have made Doris feel by her mistake．But her willingness to ignore the mistake，Doris was sharing her kindness with the next generation．
