“I can’t believe what I’m hearing!” I thought to myself. Jeff was the last candidate (候选人)for president of Student Council. My best friend Tony came to me and said. “I’m sorry, Mike. I really thought you should be __36__.”
Later that day, I happened to pass Jeff in the dining room. I offered him a __37__ “Congratulations” and walked to my usual table. To my surprise, Jeff put his plate beside mine.
“I’m, er—I’m just wondering if you would …consider coming to work on my team,” he said__38__. “You are really smart, and you would be a great manager.”
“I don’t think so,” I replied, feeling unsure.
“Well, if you change your mind, we are meeting tomorrow,” he said before moving to another table.
All that night, I thought about __39__ from Jeff. Maybe being a part of the election process(选举过程) would give __40__ a chance to make important changes at our school. I decided to join them.
My first goal was to __41__ a catchy advertisement. Within a few days, we designed a poster with Jeff’s pictures showing him in a number of activities. No one could walk through any hallway __42__ passing Jeff’s smiling face.
My next step was to __43__ which new activities students would like to have at our school. Many of them wanted a chess club and a volleyball team.
With the information I had collected, Jeff met with the headmaster. The headmaster __44__to add these activities to our school program.
An eighth grader said, “It’ll be like attending a new school with Jeff as president.”
Hearing these words made my heart filled with __46__. I had wanted to become president of Student Council to make a difference. I achieved that and more by working as a member of Jeff’s team. He became the most popular candidate and I was large part of his __47__. The fact that it has made a difference in other people’s lives is the real prize. What a great feeling!

I am a person who can get angry 26 . But after 27 a passage from my English teacher, things have changed 28 . I am studying at a boarding school, so I have to learn 29 how to study well, but how to get on well with others. Some of us are 30 while others are quiet. So it is 31 that people have problems and arguments.
Smiling at others is the easiest way to stop argument. Another way is to think 32 your ideas are right before having an argument. If others’ ideas are really not good, keep and open 33 . Try to forgive（原谅）them. Having a friend is 34 better than having an enemy after all. Also, 35 point out others’ mistakes 36 . If you really want to help them, send a letter 37 . On the other hand, if someone points out your disadvantages, don’t 38 . Just think this is a person who really wants to help you and make friends 39 you. Remember: Forgiving makes life 40 .
