Living one’s life is really like driving on a highway. First, to make a good driving, the driver must carefully examine the 36 of his car, just as he cares for his health for a good life. 37 he enters into the highway, he must 38 certain rules for his own safety. It also can be said that he must obey certain rules of society when living as a decent (体面的) adult. For example, on the highway, he is 39 to keep a constant (不断的) 40 , which can be compared with his 41 activities through his life. Neither driving nor living must be taken at too 42 a speed nor at too slow a speed．If he drives too 43 , the police will give him a 44 , just as he will be arrested when he breaks the law. 45 too conservatively (保守地), he will be called an out-of-date person 46 the others driving at a(an) 47 speed.

I returned to Abuja, the capital of Nigeria, after graduation． I had been there before my mother became a minister． Two weeks later, I told my mother I was bored． She said, “Here’re the car keys． Go and buy some fruit．”_36_, I jumped into the car and speeded off．

I am a mother of three and have recently completed my college degree. My teacher’s last 21 of the term was called “ Smile”. I am a very friendly person and always 22 at everyone. So I thought this would be very 23.
Soon after we were given the project, my 24 went out to McDonald’s. We were waiting to be 25, when all of a sudden everyone around us began to 26 , and even my husband did. There standing behind me were two homeless men 27 .
As I looked down at the short gentleman with 28 eyes, he said, “Good day.” The second man stood behind his friend. I 29 the second man was mentally challenged(智障) and the blue-eyed gentleman was his helper.
The young 30 at the counter asked him what they wanted.
He said, “Coffee is all, Miss.” Because that was all they could 31 .
I smiled and asked the young lady to give me two more breakfast meals on a 32 tray(托盘). I then said to the men, “ I did not do this for you. God is here 33 me to give you hope.”
When I joined my husband, he smiled at me, saying, “That is 34 God gave you to me, Honey, to give me hope.”
I returned to 35 with this story in hand. I 36 “my project” and the teacher read it. Then she looked up at me and said, “Can I 37 this with the class?”
I slowly 38 and she began to read and that was when I knew that we, as human beings, share this to help people and to be 39 .
In my own way I had 40 the people at McDonald’s, my husband, sons, teacher, and every person that shared the classroom on the last night I spent as a college student.

It’s never easy to admit you are in the wrong. Being human, we all need to know the art of 31 . Look back with honesty and think how often you’ve judged 32 , said unkind things, pushed yourself ahead at the 33 of a friend. Then count the occasions 34 you indicated clearly and truly that you were 35 . A bit frightening, isn’t it? Frightening because some deep 36in us knows that when even a small wrong has been 37 , some mysterious moral feeling is disturbed; and it stays out of balance until fault is acknowledged and 38 is expressed.
I remember a doctor friend, the late Clarence Lieb, telling me about a man who came to him with a variety of 39 : headaches, insomnia and stomach trouble. No 40 cause could be found. Finally my friend said to the man, “ 41 you tell me what’s worrying you, I can’t help you.” After some 42 , the man confessed that, as executor of his father’s will, he had been 43 his brother, who lived abroad, of his inheritance (继承权). Then and there the wise old doctor made the man write to his brother 44 forgiveness and enclosing a cheque as the first step in restoring their good 45 . He then went with him to mail box in the corridor. As the letter disappeared, the man 46 crying. “Thank you,” He said, “I think I’m 47 .” And he was. A heartfelt apology can not only heal a damaged relationship but also make it 48 . If you can think of someone who 49 an apology from you, someone you have wronged, or just neglected, do something about it 50 .
