David was a small boy in ragged clothes. I had often wondered what kind of home life David had, and what kind of mother could send her son to school (dress) so inappropriately for the cold winter months. But something made David special. He always stayed after school
（straighten） chairs and mop the floor. He would just simply smile and ask what else he could do, then thank me for
(let ) him stay and slowly head for home.
On the last day of school before Christmas holiday break, I saw David (quiet) standing by my desk.“I have something for you.” he said and
(pull )from behind his back a small box. Handing it to me, he said anxiously, “
it.” I took the box from him, thanked him and slowly unwrapped it. I lifted the lid and to my surprise saw
. I looked at David’s smiling face and said, “The box is nice, David,
it’s empty.”“Oh no, it isn’t.” said David. “It’s full of love. My mum told me before she died that love was something you couldn’t see or touch unless you know it’s there.”
Tears filled my eyes as I looked at the proud dirty face that I (rarely give) attention to. After that Christmas, David and I became good friends and I never forgot
meaning behind the little empty box set on my desk.

Will matter if you don’t take your breakfast? Some time ago a test
(give) in the United States. The test included people of different
(age) from 12 to 83. During the experiment, these people were given all kinds of breakfast, and sometimes they got
breakfast at all. Special tests were set up to see
well their bodies worked when they had eaten
certain kind of breakfast. The results show that if a person eats a proper breakfast, he or she will work with better effect
if he or she has no breakfast. This fact appears to be
(especial) true if a person works
his brain. For example, if a student eats fruit, eggs, bread and milk before going to school, he will learn more quickly and listen with
(much) attention in class.
I can well remember that I was once asked to deliver a speech titled A Real Test in My Life before the whole class at the age of 9 ! You can imagine how (terrible) shy I was the moment I thought of that--- with so many eyes
(fix) upon me. I had no
(choose) but to prepare for it, though. First of all, I was to draft the speech, which was just a piece of cake for me, a good writer. But the hardest part
(lie) in my oral presentation from my memory, for to read from the paper was not allowed. The real moment began _
I stood on the platform with my legs trembling and my mind blank. But my
(listen) were waiting patiently without any signs of rushing me. Gradually I found myself back, giving out my speech with difficulty. After what seemed to be a hundred years, I found my audience applauding---I made
! From then on, my fear of talking before a big audience
(appear). Actually with my confidence building up, I now turn out to be a great speaker. Looking back, I know the greatest difficulty on our way
success is our fear. Overcome it, _
we will be able to achieve our goals.

Over the years I’ve been teaching the( Britain)kids about a simple but powerful concept— the ant philosophy(哲 学 ) , an
( amaze)four-part philosophy.
First, ants never quit. If they’re heading somewhere and you try to stop them, they’ll climb over, they’ll climb under, or they’ll climb around. They never quit( look) for a way to get where they
( suppose )to go! Second, ants think about winter and summer. They are always gathering in their winter food in the middle of summer and they are making
( prepare)for the long cold winter. So you have to think about storms in summer ; think about rocks
you enjoy the sand and sun. Third, ants think about summer all winter. During the winter, they remind
,“ This won’ t last long and we’ll soon be out of here. ”On the first warm day, the ants are out. If it
( turn)cold again, they’ll dive back down. But they come out again if it is warm. Last, how much will an ant gather during the summer to prepare for the winter? All that it
( possible) can.
you can learn from the ant philosophy is: Never give up, look ahead, stay positive and do all you can.
“Remember, your father is only one year (old) than you.” That was Mum’s usual excuse when Dad said the wrong things or did something
(fool).
Dad quitted drinking exactly one year before I was born. He joined a group of other people. He said they (stop) drinking, too. I loved my dad
I hated the way his weekly meetings took him away
me. It seemed that they were more important to him than I was. But with my birthday coming up I thought Dad would make an
(except). “Can’t you miss it just this time? Saturday is my birthday!” I begged him but
(refuse). He said I am chairing the meeting this Saturday. We will have your party on Sunday.”
Saturday evening I sat on my bed, (feel) sorry for myself. Dad started to leave, then paused and said, “Why not
come with me together tonight? It’s an open meeting. All are welcome”. would I do at a meeting? But maybe I needed to see why something Dad every week mattered so much.
After we arrived, Dad announced the theme of the meeting was going to be gratitude. He told his story about giving up smoking. Later, a man (call) Dave also told his story. Only then did I know it was Dad that saved his life from drinking. Showing up week after week and meeting with people, Dad was changing lives. Shame washed over me.
