Not too long ago ,an incident that happened at Walt Disney touched me greatly．A guest 36 out of our Polynesian Village resort（度假胜地）at Walt Disney was asked how she 37 her visit．She told the front-desk clerk she had had a (n) 38 vacation ,but was heartbroken about 39 several rolls of Kodak color film she had not yet 40 ．At that moment she was particularly 41 over the loss of the pictures she had shot at our Polynesian Luau , 42 this was a memory she especially treasured．
Now ,please understand that we have no written service rules 43 lost photos in the park． 44 ,the clerk at the front desk 45 Disney’s idea of caring for our 46 ．She asked the woman to leave her a couple rolls of 47 film ,promising she would take care of the rest of our show at Polynesian Luau．
Two weeks later the guest received a 48 at her home．In it were photos of all the actors of our show, 49 signed by each performer．There were also 50 of the public procession（游行队伍）and fireworks in the park ,taken by the front-desk clerk in her own 51 after work．I happened to know this 52 because this guest wrote us a letter．She said that 53 in her life had she received such good service from any business．
Excellent 54 does not come from policy (政策性的)handbooks．It comes from people who 55 —and from a culture that encourages and models that attitude．

Have you ever imagined that you could be cloned(克隆)like Dolly，the sheep，in the not too distant future?
The news that a human embryo(胚胎)has been 36 cloned for the first time has caused mixed reactions(反应)．
The 37 was carried out by scientists from the Advanced Cell Technology Inc(ACT)，in Massachusetts，US. The group 38 the news on November 25.
This is not a cloned human being. “A 39 is alive，it walks，it breathes，”said Jamie Grifo，an expert on the study of cloning at New York University School of Medicine.
“This is a set of cells in a lab that will be used to 40 someone's life.”
Such research could lead to treatment for 41 such as heart disease，AIDS and even cancer， 42 scientists.
Despite high hopes from other scientists，the news 43 concerns immediately from religious and political leaders. Several 44 in the US do not allow human cloning. President George W．Bush also made it clear that he is 45 any type of human cloning. However，the 46 at ACT said they have no interest at present in developing an early embryo into 47 .
Animals have been cloned repeatedly since Dolly，the sheep,48 in 1997.And there were no real technical 49 to stand in the way of scientists making a cloned human embryo.
This time the research group used traditional cloning technology with a human 50 . 51 it was given DNA from an adult cell，the egg began to 52 . 53 it was stopped from becoming a baby—at a stage in which it was 54 a ball of cells. The 55 technology has been used to clone sheep，cattle and monkeys.

A businessman was on a business trip to Tokyo（东京）. One day he went to buy some gifts for his employees (雇员) back in his country. He entered a supermarket. A lady smiled and welcomed him. He was very touched, and felt good .Because he was not able to 1 the warmth of her smile, he was watching her as he was 2 . She was giving the same 3 to all the people who walked into the supermarket.
The businessman started thinking if she hated doing the same thing. So he asked, “My dear lady, are you 4 of doing this job?” The lady smiled and said, “No, sir, I have 5 here for the last 10 years and I love my job.” The businessman was surprised and asked, “Why have you stayed here for ten years, and why do you like your job 6 much?” The lady said, “Because I am doing something good for my 7 .” The businessman found this interesting. He asked, “Why?” The lady said, “As most of our customers are 8 , they spend foreign currency（货币） here. So our country has a lot of money and becomes richer. People who are happy with our service will __9___ more often and spend more money in our country.”
Surprised by her 10 , the businessman thanked her. After returning to his own country he worked hard to introduce the same attitude (态度) to his workers, and today his company is one of the best companies in the world.

When I was about 8 years old, I asked my mum to buy me a certain biscuit because it sponsored（赞助）Flash Gordon. Gordon was a super-hero who 31 for good deeds（事情）in outer space.
My mum would buy the 32 for me because I 33 the prize that came with it. The prize was a pair of glasses that Gordon 34 .
However, in order to get the prize I had to 35 the whole box of biscuits out because it was at the 36 . I didn’t dare to think of 37 my way to the prize because I was too 38 . Yes, I wanted to be like Flash Gordon! 39 the glasses came out from the bottom, I put them on. I felt like my favorite 40 . I wore them everywhere my mum and I went. I even tried to wear them to 41, but the teachers didn’t want a super-hero flying around the playground.
Over the years there were other prizes from many 42 brands（牌子）of biscuits, but I was never really 43 the biscuits, only the 44 .
When you think about it, 45 itself can be like a box of biscuits. Even as adults, we keep 46 that prize at all costs. Just 47 what we do at times. We become greedy（贪婪的）to get what we think is the prize.
Try to look at it from a different view. Wouldn’t it be better to 48 the journey along the way ? In other words, don’t be impatient and pour the box. That will only spoil（破坏）the 49 meaning of the prize. Enjoy what you have and be grateful. I promise your prize will 50 , without having to push others out of the way to get it.

You must know the “ding dong ditch”. Person A rings Person B’s doorbell, and then quickly runs away or hides before Person B answers. Person B hurries to answer the door, only to find that no one’s there. After the 1 thing is repeated several times, this is called “ding dong ditch”.
Sharon Mardis, a single mother of four, told ABC News that she 2 a “ding dong ditch” when she 3 to her door at 1:00 am last night.
“My doorbell started ringing, 4 I came to the door,” Sharon told ABC News. “There was5 at the door. I went back in the house. I got ten or twenty 6 and the doorbell started ringing again. I came back to the door, still nobody at the door.” She got 7 and stepped outside, shouting, “Who’s that? What on earth are you going to do?” There was just 8 .
But after Sharon returned to the house, she 9 something. Smoke! Sharon quickly 10 her kids and the family pets and ran out of the house. Only then did she 11 how bad the fire was. The12 of the house fell down; the house was quickly 13 by flames. The smoke detectors(探测器) had never 14 : they were out of batteries. Good thing for the doorbell.
The 15 is who had rung it. 16 found that the flames has fused(熔化) the wires of the doorbell together, causing it to ring. But 17 , the fire had nothing to do with the doorbell wiring at all. It had started in the bathroom, well down the hall. From there, the flames didn’t spread to the nearby 18 , where the children and Sharon were sleeping. 19 , they surprisingly reached the doorbell first, making it ring repeatedly, and 20 Sharon to avoid danger.
Sharon believes it happened that way thanks to an angel.
