Someone telephoned me today asking if I would be willing to bring food to a family in need. The mother was having a major operation and would be lying down for several weeks. Of course, I responded with an immediate “Yes!”. As I planned the meal in my head, I reflected on how many times over the years I had been asked to prepare food. I have done so countless times with a very open heart.
But the truly amazing thing is that I have received double over the course of my life. When my mother passed away, our house was filled with fresh dinners for weeks. A woman from the church of our community stopped by each evening with some food. The gift of food was her small way of trying to ease our pain.
Later in my life, when I was on bed rest during my pregnancy with twins, women of the church again stepped in to help. They arranged babysitting for my two-year-old daughter, and brought lovely dinners to our house. Even when I was put in the hospital, my husband would bring cooked meals to my hospital room. How we relied on these dinners to feed my tired husband and young daughter.
Food is all about comfort. It feeds our bodies, but it can also feed our souls. When you hear people talking about their favorite holidays, it usually includes their feelings connected with sharing food. I know I’ll have many more chances in my lifetime to prepare food for others. It is truly a gift I want to prepare and deliver to someone in need.

It was my first day of high school, and I was late. My next class, Spanish, scared me. I just could not speak that language. As the bell rang, I ran to the classroom.
At the door, a hand reached out and shook mine firmly. I looked up. A man with large glasses smiled. He introduced himself as Profe, which means teacher in Spanish. Right away, his warm smile and welcoming words eased my fears. That year, I enjoyed his classes a great deal because I learned more than just Spanish.
I admit I only speak a little Spanish. But I try to live out the life lessons I learned from Profe. Every day Profe stood outside his classroom before and after class to give his “hand hug”. After school his room was always filled with students and he would talk to and chat with them--even those not in his class. He taught me that every person is worth your time.
One time, I was rejected(排擠)by my friends, Profe told me, “Linda, life gives you ashes. But learning its lessons will turn those ashes to jewels.” Therefore, I learned to look at my troubles differently and not to fear any difficulty.
In my senior year, I became president of one of the school’s clubs, so I was very busy. Many times I didn’t even have time to buy lunch. He served me by giving me his food as well as advice. He lived out what he taught us to do: serve others.
The author William Arther Ward wrote: “The mediocre(平庸的) teacher tells. The good teacher explains. The superior teacher demonstrates. The great teacher inspires.” Thank you , Profe, for inspiring me.
小題1:Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A．The writer was on time for his first day of high school.
B．The writer didn’t like Profe’s class.
C．The writer could speak Spanish fluently.
D．The writer learned life truth from Profe’s class.
小題2:How did Profe treat his class and his students?
A．He was very stict with his students.
B．He only talked with those students in his class.
C．He lived out what he taught in class.
D．He never inspired his students.
小題3:What can we learn from the passage?
A．The writer benefited a lot from Profe’s class.
B．The writer was good at spanish in the end.
C．Profe treated students differently according to their grades.
D．Profe was not a superior teacher.
小題4:What would be the best title for the passage?
A．Learning SpanishB．A great teacher
C．My first day of high schoolD．Teaching method

After half an hour, a middle-aged man ran there in a hurry and     through the crowd to the violinist and said, "Yes, it’s you. You did come here. I knew that you’re an honest man and would       come here."
"Are you Mr. George Sang?"
The man nodded.

"Lottery (彩票). It’s lottery," said the man.
The violinist     a lottery ticket on which George Sang’ s name was seen. "Is it？" he asked.
George nodded, seized the lottery ticket and       it; then he danced with joy.
George bought a lottery ticket which       him a prize of $ 500,000. He was so happy after work and felt the violinist playing so wonderfully that he put 50 dollars in the hat.      , the lottery ticket was also thrown in.
When asked why he didn’t keep the lottery ticket      himself, the violinist said,"      I don’t have much money, I live happily; but if I lose honesty, I won’t be happy forever."
We can gain and lose so much in our life. But being honest should      be with us. If we bear ourselves in a dishonest way, we     succeed temporarily (暫時(shí)).

How often do you let other people’s nonsense change your mood? Do you let a bad driver, impolite waiter，rude boss，or an insensitive employee      your day?
One day I was in a taxi and we headed       the airport. We were driving in the    lane when suddenly a black car drove out of a parking space right in front of us. My taxi driver slammed on his      ，slide sideways，and at the very last moment our car stopped and     the other car by just inches！The driver of the other car looked around and started       at us.
My taxi driver just      and waved at the guy. And I mean he was really      . So I asked，"Why did you just do that? This guy almost ruined your car and sent us to the hospital！”   
This is when my taxi driver taught me what I now call “The Law of the Garbage Truck”. He explained that many people are like garbage trucks. They run around full of      , full of frustration，full of anger，and full of disappointment. As their garbage       up，they need a place to dump it and sometimes they’ll dump it on     ．Don’t take it personally. Just smile, wave，wish them well，and move on.
Believe me. You’ll be      ．Don’t take their garbage and      it to other people at work，at home，or on the streets.

So…Love the people who treat you right. Ignore the ones who don’t. Life is ten percent what you make it and ninety percent how you       it！
When you follow “The Law of the Garbage Truck”，you take back control of your life. You make room for the good by     go of the bad. Have a Garbage-Free Day！Have a marvelous，garbage-free day！The seeds you plant today       the harvest you reap tomorrow.
