A wise man was visiting a village with his students. He found a group of family members ________ in anger at each other. He turned to his students and asked: “Why do people shout in anger at each other?”
His students thought for a while, and one of them said: “Because when we lose our calm, we shout.”
“But, why should you shout when the other person is just next to you? You can just as well tell him ________ you have to say in a soft manner,” said the wise man.
Students gave some other answers but ________ were any good.
“When two people are angry at each other, their hearts become distanced（疏远的）,” the wise man ______, “ To cover that distance they must shout to be able to hear each other. The _______ they are, the louder they will have to shout to hear each other and cover that great distance.”
The wise man then gave an _______: “What happens when two people fall in love? They don’t shout at each other but talk softly because their hearts are very _______. When they love each other even more, what happens? They don’t need to talk. They _______ look at each other and that’s all. That is how close two people are when they love each other.”
He looked at his students and said: “________ when you argue, do not let your hearts get distant. Do not say words that distance you from others. Or there will come a day when the distance is so great that you will not find the _______ to return.”

A young man didn’t know how to face his work. One day he was sitting in a park watching squirrels(松鼠) run in the trees. Suddenly, a squirrel jumped from one high tree to another. It seemed to for a branch(树枝) so far out of reach that the jump looked impossible. And sure enough, the squirrel . But it still landed safely on a branch several feet lower. Then it just climbed up a little higher and reached the branch it really .
An old man sitting near the young man said, “It’s . I have seen a lot of squirrels jump like that. A lot of them miss, but I have never seen one of them get hurt. I guess they have got to risk(冒险) it if they don' t want to spend their whole life one tree. ” Then the young man thought, "If a little squirrel is to take a chance, do I have less than a squirrel?"
At that moment he decided to take a risk he had been thinking about. And sure enough, he landed safely in a position he thought possible.
Shoot(飞奔) for the moon. you miss, you will land among the stars, and you will still end up higher and better than you are now. Since life is short and time goes by so fast, why not make it the best one possible?

Santa Can Come before Christmas
It was last June. I entered a supermarket to pick some vegetables，when a young man asked me，“Can you tell me where the counter（柜台） is? ”
“Well， the milk is in the lower right corner，” I replied.
Picking up my things，I finally came to the milk counter where I met the same man almost 10 bottles of milk.
I asked，“Do you need a basket or a trolley？”
“Sure，thank you.”he answered.
I was he was still picking more bottles and after a few minutes his trolley had 24 bottles of milk.
I laughed and asked, ”Why so many bottles?”
He smiled and said, ”These are for my street dogs. Today, I want to be a Santa them.”
I said,” Well ,it`s too for you to be a Santa,It is still June and Christmas comes in December.”
He at me and walked a few steps,as if he wanted to say something but he left the counter without saying anything.
,we met again at the bread counter.
“So these bread and cakes are also for the street dogs ,Mr.Santa.”
He smiled and said, ”Yes ,These are also for the dogs and I love to be Mr. Santa in the month of June, Santa is a representation(象征) of surprises and . Santa comes in December as we him around Christmas. But in real life there is a Santa in each one of us that shines through our personality at some point of time ,no matter which month it is. Maybe when you offered help to me by getting me a trolley ,there was a Santa in you ,When we offer food to a poor man or a(n) to someone who is caught in the rain ,we are being Santa there, So when you offer help to others or get help from others, just think that Santa has come all the way for you.”
He left and I was happy that I had met him. It was right to understand that Santa can come before Christmas, We just need to realize that he is around us by happiness and unconditional love.
