Dear Miss Li,
I’d like to thank you for sending money 1 “Animal Helpers”, an organization set up to help disabled people. You see, you have helped 2 it possible for me to have “Lucky”. My life 3 pleasure because of him now. Let me tell you my story.
Being blind, deaf, unable to walk or use your hands 4 is something that most people cannot imagine. But there are many people who face these challenges, and I am one of them. Because I can’t use my arms or legs well, things like answering the telephone, opening and 5
doors or carrying things have always been difficult for me. Then one day last year, a friend of mine said that she would like to 6 . She said she would talk to “Animal Helpers” to see
7 it would be possible for me to get a trained dog. She also thought a dog might cheer me up. I told her that I love animals and that I’d love to have a dog.
8 six months of training with a dog at “Animal Helpers”, I was able to 9 him
home. My dog’s name is “Lucky” – a good name for him 10 I feel very lucky to have him. You see, I’m only able to have a “dog-helper” because of your kind donation!
11 , you might ask? Well, he has been trained to 12 different instructions. For example, I say, “Lucky! Fetch my book,” and he does it at once. He is very clever and understands many English words, even some difficult 13 like “upstairs”.
Lucky is an 14 dog. I’ll send you a photo of him if you like, and I could show you how he helps me too one day. And so I thank you again for supporting “Animal Helpers”. It is very important that this organization does not run out of money. Your donation 15 and the money is well used to help disabled people like me.
Best wishes,
Liz Smith

The professor went to the kitchen and returned __32__ a pot of coffee and all kinds of cups — crystal (水晶的), glass, plastic; some nice looking, some plain looking; some __33__, some cheap. And he told them to help __34__ to the coffee.
When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the professor said, “I’ve noticed that all the nice looking expensive cups were __35__, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones. While it is __36__ for you to take only the best for yourselves, that is the root of your __37__ and stress.
You know that the cup itself adds no quality to the coffee, __38__ you really wanted was coffee, not the cup, __39__ you consciously went for the best cups.
Now consider this: Life is the coffee. The jobs, money and __40__ in society are the cups. They are just __41__ to hold life, and the type of cup does not change the quality of our life. Sometimes, by __42__ only on the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee that God has __43__ us. God offers us the coffee, not the cups. Please enjoy your coffee!”The happiest people don’t have the best of everything. They just make __44__ of everything.
Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply. Speak __45__. And leave the rest to God.
