We arrived in Spain for the first time a few weeks ago. I decided to 31 a car because we had sold the one we had in England before 32 home. Yesterday the sales office rang us to say the car was 33 . I had tried out a model like it before, but as I was not yet 34 driving in this city, my wife did not want me to collect it 35 so we went together to 36 it. We paid for the car and 37 the papers. They told us that there was 38 petrol（汽油）to take us to a garage, where we could fill up. The 39 garage to the office was about 100 yards away and we got there 40 .But when I turned into the main road I suddenly saw a lot of cars racing 41 me. I got out of 42 as fast as I could by backing into the garage 43 and the man behind 44 me.
"It’s such a problem to 45 to drive on the right side, isn’t it?" my wife said. "Yes, if only I had had a few lessons for 46 ," I replied. "You had better go 47 on the way home," my wife said. "You' d be sorry if you had 48 on the first day, wouldn' t you?" While we were talking, the man behind got out of his car and said in good English," Would you mind telling me 49 you are thinking of leaving? 50 are you going to sit in your car all day?"

School was over and I felt quite tired. I sat at the very 36 of the crowded bus because of my anxiety(焦虑) to go home. Sitting there makes me 37 like a shiny coin in a pile of dull pennies.
Janie, the 38 , tried to break the uncomfortable 39 by starting a conversation. I tried to mind my manners and politely 40 her, but usually I am too busy thinking about my day. On this day, 41 , her conversation was worth listening to.
“My father’s sick,” she said to no one in 42 , I could see the anxiety and fear in her eyes. “What’s wrong with him?” I asked. With her eyes wet and her voice tight from fighting the tears, she 43 , “Heart trouble.” Her eyes lowered as she continued. “I’ve 44 lost my mum, so I don’t think I can stand losing him.”
I was shocked. My 45 ached for her. And this reminded me of the great 46 my own mother was thrown into when her father 47 . I saw how hard it was, and still is, for her. I wouldn’t like anyone to 48 that.
Suddenly I 49 Janie wasn’t only a bus driver. That was just her job. She had a whole world of 50 and concerns, too. I suddenly felt very selfish(自私). I realized I had only thought of people as far as what their purposes were in m
y life. I paid no 51 to Janie 52 she was a bus driver. I had judged(评价) her by her 53 and brushed her off as unimportant.
For all I know, I’m just another person in 54 else’s world, and may not even be 55 . I should not have been so selfish and self-centered. Everyone has places to go to, people to see and appointment to keep. Understanding people is an art.

It was the beginning of a new term. As a(n) 36 teacher in that school, I didn’t know any of the students. A little girl was 37 at the gate of the class
room. She looked very 38 .
I walked up to her and asked 39 she stood there. But she said 40 . Instead, a boy shouted, “She is from Grade Four, the 41 student in her grade.” I looked at the little girl, who didn’t seem to be the smart kind. I 42 why her teacher asked her to stay in Grade Three. I took her hand and 43 her into the classroom.
“Sit here. Now you are my student and I’m your teacher,” I said. She 44 said nothing, but she burst into tears.
I later learnt that her parents 45 in a car accident, and she had 46 talking to others since then. She learnt very 47 . I gave her respect and never 48 her as I know everybody deserves (值得) respect. I 49 her after school, and she was making 50 little by little. I encouraged her and as 51 went by, she was not as shy as before. At the end of the term, she seemed to have forgotten all her 52 . She was not one of the best students when she left that school, 53 at least, she was not that shy and sad little girl any longer.
In the following 54 , she would send me a card on each Thanksgiving Day. Three days ago, I received a(n) 55 to her wedding. And now, I am at her wedding, and she is smiling brightly.
Everyone deserves respect and everyone can be happy!

One day, his younger sister 38 her son to him, to be taught 39 is so important for deer. The teacher said to the fawn, “Very well, you can come at this time tomorrow for your first 40 .”
At first, the young deer came to the lessons 41 he was supposed to. But soon, he became more interested in 42 with the other young bucks（雄鹿）. He didn’t realize how 43 it could be for a deer who learned 44 but deer games. So he started

By the third year of teaching I’d begun to expect Christmas break more for the school holiday and less for the excitement of the children. I was teaching fourth grade and my students had made me 36 . I just had to get through one of the hardest days of the school year.
The morning bell rang. I walked 37 through the cold into the overly heated school building. Twenty-two smiling faces 38 me at the school bus stop. I forced myself to 39 their smiles. Back into the classroom, they 40 , comparing plans for the 41 . I had to remove one student from each arm 42 I could take a seat at my desk for my morning duties. Before I could find my roll book（点名册） my desk was covered with 43 and gifts followed by a 44 of “Merry Christmas” wishes.
“Oh, thank you,” I must have 45a million times. Each gift was truly special to me, except my 46 mood（情绪）. It was kind of them to 47 me. After a while, I heard a small nervous 48 say my name. I looked up to see Brandon standing 49 by my desk, holding a small, round gift. “This is for you.”
“Thank you, Sweetheart.” I laid it on my desk with the others.
“Um, could you 50 it now?”
I gently tore at the paper and tape. “ 51 ,” he said, “it’s breakable.” Slowly I opened a small, green Christmas tree ornament（装饰物）, complete with a hook already 52 . It dawned on me what he had done. Then a nearby student said that he just pulled that off his own tree. I tried to keep my 53 back.
Later that day, I sat 54 the ornament in my hands. Was I really so important to this child that he had searched for something to give me? Now every year as I 55 pull a green Christmas ball from my ornament box, I remember the deep influence my students have on me.
