I have always wanted to share this story because it is one of the things that I will remember for my whole life. And I’m sure the other person feels the same.
We had a new teacher in my middle school World History class. She was very nice and excited to see us. She told a story about her       fighting in a war and brought a picture of him. After about fifteen       of her talking, the class started talking softly to each other     they were getting bored. Looking     , she asked “So, you guys don’t really want to hear any more?” No one dared to say “no” to her loud     one kid. He said, “No, not really!”       a disrespectful(無禮的) way. Some kids were a little       and thought that it was rather rude. 
I felt really bad for this teacher. No one should be    in such a disrespectful manner. Therefore, near the end of the class I went up and said       to her for the guy’s rude behavior. I told her I had been listening, and even though I may not really like      , I was grateful to her for sharing her story. I asked her       about her father and asked to see the picture of him. We had a very nice, sincere conversation about her father.  
The teacher was touched. She thanked me for coming up and actually treating her with the respect(尊敬) that she deserved. I felt at full peace with       knowing that I did the right thing and I was super happy that I made her day. Even though I didn’t really care for history, I       listened, and I hope that others in different situations will do the same. Listening means a lot to the people sharing; it really      . If I had just left the class without saying a word, I would have felt very       and would have a constant reminder, probably to this day, that justice(公義) was not served and I had left a person in their time of need.

I used to have little passion（激情，熱情）in my life. But what happened the other day changed my mind. It was then that I learned how        it is to have a passion in life.
That day I went home in Mom’s car. When Mom        at a red light, someone on the side of the road caught my eye. It was a man dressed        rags. He was homeless. That didn’t interest me, because I had seen         like him before. Those people usually looked unhappy and hopeless.
But this man was        in some way. He was not sitting down with a        expression. Instead, he had a         in his hand and was dancing happily to the music. The radio seemed to be the most precious thing he had.
“Mom, why does that man have a radio        he’s homeless?” I asked.
“He       it, “ she replied.
“But why doesn’t he use the money to buy food or clothes? He       something that he didn’t need.”
“Well, Sarah, sometimes food and clothes aren’t the most important.”
That man must care so much about        that he bought a radio instead of food or clothes. I soon realized that        is the key to life.
Since then I am always thinking of        is truly important in life. A home, a meal, clothes – these things are        part of the life. What we often forget is that we all need a joy, a light on a         day. We all need a passion which gives a person the happiness they need to keep going.
