Our thoughts, words, and actions often cause harm to others and to us． Without reconciliation
（和解）, we cannot deepen our understanding and only cause more suffering． "Beginning Anew" is
a（n） 36 of reconciliation． It involves three steps ---- sharing appreciation, expressing 37 , and expressing hurt and difficulties．
In the first step, we share appreciation． We acknowledge the 38 qualities of the other person． The second step -- expressing regret, is to 39 with the other person our regrets for the things we have done or said that might have caused him or her 40 ． This requires humility （谦逊）, and the 41 to let go of our own pride． In the third step, we 42 our own hurt with mindf
ul and loving 43 without blaming or criticizing． We speak in such a way that the other person can listen and 44 our words． If we 45 the other person, his heart will 46 and he will not be able to hear us． We ask the other person to help us to understand 47 he has spoken and acted as he has , causing us so much pain． Perhaps, later, he can share his feelings 48 we can understand him more deeply． If a strong 49 arises in us while we are expressing our suffering, we should simply 50 and come back to our breathing until the emotion becomes 51 ． The other person can 52 us by following his breathing until we are ready to continue． We can enjoy pr
acticing 
"Beginning Anew" with our partner, our family, or our friends 53 ． By doing this, we will 54 misunderstandings from accumulating． Rather, we will take care of them as they arise, 55 we take care of our children．

Last year was the first year when I taught the fifth grade. Recently, I’ve been 1 by a “graduated ”student for the first time. I was really surprised when he walked into my home.
He hasn’t physically changed much since 2 my class last year and if I had had to guess who would come to visit me first. I wouldn’t have thought of him. Carlos was a student who had a hard time sitting 3in the beginning of last year. He would often 4 to go to the bathroom, and he’d talk or look like he was falling asleep because of little sleep. He often needed 5in doing anything that other students could do well on their own.
I found out that the reason for his behavior in my classroom was that he had been 6 nightmares(噩梦)about his border-crossing experience. He was 7 that the immigration office would take him or his parents to prison or back to their 8 . And here he was in my class trying to learn a(n) 9 language, which he had never touched before.
When he was in my class, one thing that stood out was that he had a(n) 10 time speaking English. But when he walked in my room yesterday, all of that was missing. In walked a calm, 11 boy who spoke and understood English far better than when he left me in June. He even 12 to speak to my class in the sixth grade in English. He told me he remembered doing sign language and the video I made to help him 13 his English.
His visit 14a lot to me not only because he has made great progress, but also because it reminded me what it means to be a teacher ----- to have a lasting influence on 15 .

Tracy Wong is a well-known Chinese-American writer. But her writing 41 was something she picked up by herself. After her first 42 , teaching disabled children, she became a part-time writer for IBM. 43 , writing stories was simply a 44 interest. Tracy sent three of her stories to a publisher(出版商).45 , they immediately suggested that she put them together to make a single one long 46 and paid Tracy a $50,000 in advance. “A pretty money,” said the publisher, “for 47 writer.”
48 Tracy’s characters (人物) are interesting, her stories sometimes 49 readers uneasy: those about the supernatural. “My mother believed I could 50 the afterlife world,” she told a close friend. “She used to have me speak with my grandmother, who died many years ago.”
“Can I? I don’t think I can,” Tracy said with a laugh. “But I do have 51 when things come to me52 .” Once, she was wondering how to complete a 53 set in ancient (古代的) China. 54 the doorbell rang. It was a FedEx delivery man, with a copy of a book on Chinese 55 . It came without her having 56 it.
Though she has published 10 books, Tracy has remained 57 by her fame. She lives in the same 58 she lived 27 years ago — although in a more comfortable home. There’s more room for 59in her life----and it wasn’t just 60 .

Each tomato will be given a name of a person that the child 17 , so the number of tomatoes that a child will put in the plastic bag will depend on the number of people the child hates.
So when the day came, every 18 brought some tomatoes. Some had two; some three while some up to five tomatoes. The teacher then told the children to 19 with them the tomatoes in the plastic 20 wherever they go.
Days after days passed by, and the children started to complain due to the 21 smell let out by the rotten tomatoes. Besides, those having more tomatoes had to carry 22 bags. After 1 week, the children were relieved because the game had finally ended.
The teacher asked: “How did you 23 while carrying the tomatoes with you for 1 24 ?”
The children let out their frustrations and started 25 of the trouble that they had to go through having to carry the heavy and 26 tomatoes wherever they go.
Then the teacher told them the hidden meaning behind the 27 .
“This is exactly the 28 when you carry your hatred(憎恨) for somebody inside your heart. The unpleasant smell of hatred will pollute your 29 and you will carry it with you wherever you go.
