10．Around twenty years ago I was living in York．（21）Though I had a lot of experience and a Master's degree，I could not find （22）satisfying work．
I was（23）driving a school bus to make ends meet and （24）living with a friend of mine，for I had lost my flat．I had（25）attended five interviews （面試） with a company and one day between bus runs they called to say I did not（26）get the job．"Why has my life become so（27）hard？"I thought painfully．
As I pulled the bus over to（28）dropoff a little girl，she handed me an earring （29）saying I should keep it（30）incase somebody claimed （認(rèn)領(lǐng)） it．The earring was painted black and said"BE HAPPY"．
At first I got angry．Then it（31）hit me-I had been giving all of my（32）attention to what was going wrong with my（33）life rather than what was right!I decided then and there to make a（34）list of fifty things I was happy with．Later，I decided to（35）add more things to the list．That night there was a phone call for（36）me from a lady who was a director at a larger（37）hospital．She asked me if I would（38）restaurant a one-day lecture on stress （壓力） management to 200medical workers．I said yes．
My （39）day there went very well，and before long I got a well-paid job．To this day I know that it was because I changed my way of（40）thinking that I completely changed my life．

9．I met Mrs．Neidl in the ninth grade on a stage-design team for a play and she was one of the directors．Almost instantly I loved her．She had an Unpleasant voice and a direct way of speaking，（36）yet she was encouraging and inspiring．For some reason，she was impressed with my work and me．
   Mrs．Neidl would ask me for my （37）opinion．She wanted to know how I thought we should （38）handle things．At first I had no idea how to answer because I knew（39）nothing  about stage design!But I slowly began to respond to her（40）questions．It was cause and effect：She believed I had opinions，so I began to （41）form  them．She trusted me to complete things，so I completed them perfectly．She loved how（42）reliable I was，so I began to show up to paint more and more．She believed in me，so I began to believe in myself．
   Mrs．Neidl's （43）motto  that year was，"Try it．We can always paint over it （44）later!"I began to take（45）risks．I had been so afraid of failing but suddenly there was no failing--only things to be（46）improved  upon．I learned to dip my brush into the paint and （47）confidently create something．
   The shy，quiet freshman achieved success that year．I was（48）recognized  in the program as"Student Art Assistant"because of the time and effort I'd put in．It was that yea r that I（49）realized  I wanted to spend the rest of my life doing stage design．
   Being on that stage-design team（50）with  Mrs．Neidl changed me completely．Not only was I stronger and more competent than I had thought，but I also （51）discovered a strong interest and a world I hadn't known existed．She taught me not to （52）care what people think I should do：She taught me to take chances and not be （53）afraid．Mrs．Neidl was my comforter when I was upset．Her （54）trust  in me has inspired me to do things that I never imagined（55）possible．

  For those people，he is"Gloves"Greenberg．How did he get that（38）name？
He looks like any other businessman，wearing a suit and carrying a briefcase （公文箱）．But he's （39）different_．His briefcase always has some gloves．
  In winter，Mr．Greenberg does not（40）actlike other New Yorkers，who look at the sidewalk and（41）hurry downthe street．He looks around at （42）people．He stops when he（43）seessomeone with no gloves．He gives them a pair and then he（44）moves on，looking for more people with cold（45）hands．

  Mr．Greenberg（49）begandoing this 21years ago．Now，many poor New Yorkers know him and（50）understandhis behavior．But people who don't know him are sometimes（51）surprised byhim．They don't realize that he just wants to make them （52）surprised by．
  It runs in the（53）family．Michael's father always helped the poor as he believed it made everyone happier．Michael Greenberg feels the（54）same．A pair of gloves may be a（55）smallthing，but it can make a big difference in winter．

7．I went to a group activity，"Sensitivity Sunday"，which was to make us more（36）aware of the problems faced by disabled people．We were asked to"（37）adopt a disability"for several hours one Sunday．Some members，（38）like me，chose to use wheelchairs．Others wore sound-blocking earplugs（耳塞）or blindfolds（眼罩）．
  Just sitting in the wheelchair was a（39）learning experience．I had never considered before how（40）awkward it would be to use one．As soon as I sat down，my （41）weight made the chair begin to roll．Its wheels were not （42）locked．Then I wondered where to put my （43）feet．It took me quite a while to get the metal footrest into（44）place．I took my first uneasy look at what was to be my only means of （45）transportation for several hours．For disabled people，"adopting a wheelchair"is not a temporary（臨時的）（46）experiment．
  I tried to find a （47）comfortable position and thought it might be restful，（48）even kind of nice，to be（49）pushed around for a while．Looking around，I（50）realized I would have to handle the thing myself？My hands started to ache as I（51）turned the heavy metal wheels．I came to know that controlling the （52）direction of the wheelchair was not going to be a（n） （53）easy task．
  My wheelchair experiment was soon （54）finished．It made a deep impression on me．A few hours of"disability"gave me only a taste of the （55）anxieties，both physical and mental，that disabled people must overcome．

5．One morning more than thirty years ago，I entered the Track Kitchen，a restaurant where everyone from the humblest（卑微的） to the most powerful came for breakfast．I noticed an empty chair next to an elderly，unshaven man，who looked somewhatdisheveled．He was wearing a worn-out hat and was alone．I asked if I might join him．He agreed quietly and I sat down to have my breakfast．
  We cautiously began a conversation and spoke about a wide rang of things．We never introduced ourselves．I was concerned that he might have no money and not be able to afford something to eat．So as I rose to go back to the counter and buy a second cup of coffee，I asked，
"My I get you something？"
"A coffee would be nice．"
   Then I bought him a cup of coffee，We talked more，and he accepted another cup of coffee，F(xiàn)inally，I rose to leave，wished him well，and headed for the exit．At the door I met one of my friends．He asked，
"How did you get to know Mr．Galbreath？"
"Who？"
"The man you were sitting with．He is chairman of the Board of Churchill Downs．"
I could hardly believe it．I was buying，offering a free breakfast，and feeling pity for one of the world's richest and most powerful men!
   My few minutes with Mr．Galbreath changed my life．Now I try to treat everyone with respect，no matter who I think they are，and to meet another human being with kindness and sincerity．

4．Joe Simpson and Simon Yates were the first people to climb the West Face of the Siula Grande in the Andes mountains．They reached the top （36）successfully，but on their way back conditions were very（37）difficult．Joe fell and broke his leg．They both knew that if Simon（38）continued alone，he would probably get back（39）safely．But Simon decided to risk his （40）life and try to lower Joe down the mountain on a rope（繩）．
As they （41）went down，the weather got worse．Then another（42）trouble occurred．They couldn't see or hear each other and，（43）by mistake，Simon lowered his friend over the edge of a precipice（峭壁）．It was（44）impossible for Joe to climb back or for Simon to pull him up．Joe's（45）weight was pulling Simon slowly towards the precipice．（46）Finally，after more than an hour in the dark and the icy cold，Simon had to（47）make a decision．In tears，he cut the rope．Joe（48）fell into a large crevasse（裂縫）in the ice below．He had no food or water and he was in terrible pain．He couldn't walk，but he（49）hoped to get out of the crevasse and started to （50）move towards their camp，nearly ten kilometers（51）away．
Simon had（52）returned to the camp at the foot of the mountain．He thought that Joe must be（53）dead，but he didn't want to leave（54）immediately．Three days later，in the middle of the night，he heard Joe's voice．He couldn't（55）believe it．Joe was there，a few meters from their tent，still alive．

3．One morning，I was waiting at the bus stop，worried about （61）being （be） late for school．
There were many people waiting at the bus stop，（62）and some of them looked very anxious and （63）disappointed
（disappoint）．when the bus finally came，we all hurried on board．I got a place next （64）to the window，so I had a good view of the sidewalk．A boy on a bike （65）caught （catch ） my attention．He was riding beside the bus and waving his arms．I heard a passenger behind me shouting to the driver，but he refused （66）to stop
（stop） until we reached the next stop．Still，the boy kept （67）riding（ride）．He was carrying something over his shoulder and shouting．Finally，when we came to the next stop，the boy ran up the door of the bus．I heard an excited conversation．Then the driver stood up and asked，"（68）Did anyone lose a suitcase at the last stop？"A woman on the bus shouted，"Oh，dear!It‘s （69）me/mine （I ）"．She pushed her way to the driver and took the suitcase thankfully，F(xiàn)ive others on the bus began talking about what the boy had done and the crowd of strangers  （70）suddenly（sudden） became friendly to one another．

As they（46）went down，the weather got worse．Then another （47）trouble occurred．They couldn't see or hear each other and，（48）bymistake，Simon lowered his friend over the edge of a precipice（峭壁）．It was （49）impossible for Joe to climb back or for Simon to pull him up．Joe's（50）weight was pulling Simon slowly towards the precipice．（51）Finally，after more than an hour in the dark and the icy cold，Simon had to （52）makeadecision．In tears，he cut the rope．Joe （53）fell into a large crevasse（裂縫）in the ice below．He had no food or water and he was in terrible pain．He couldn't walk，but he （54）managed to get out of the crevasse and started to （55）move towards their camp，nearly ten kilometers （56）away．
Simon had（57）returnedto the camp at the foot of the mountain．He thought that Joe must be（58）headedfor，but he didn't want to leave （59）immediately．Three days later，in the middle of the night，he heard Joe's voice．He couldn't（60）believe it．Joe was there，a few meters from their tent，still alive．

In our discussion with people on how education can help them succeed in life，a woman remembered the first meeting of an introductory（36）science course about 20years ago．The professor （37）marched into the lecture hall，placed upon his desk a large jar filled with dried beans（豆），and invited the students to（38）guess how many beans the jar contained．After（39）listening to shouts of wildly wrong guesses the professor smiled a thin，dry smile，announced the（40）correct answer，and went on saying，"You have just（41）learned an important lesson about science．That is：Never（42）trust your own senses．"Twenty years later，the （43）woman could guess what the professor had in mind．He（44）saw himself，perhaps，as inviting his students to start an exciting （45）voyageinto an unknown world Invisible（無形的）to the（46）eye，which can be discovered only through scientific（47）methods．But the seventeen-year-old girl could not accept or even（48）hear the invitation．She was just（49）beginning to understand the world．And she （50）believed that her firsthand experience could be the（51）truth．The professor，however，said that it was（52）wrong．he was taking away her only （53）tool for knowing and was providing her with no substitute．"I remember feeling small and（54）frightened，"the women says，"and I did the only thing I could do．I（55）dropped the course that afternoon，and I haven't gone near science since．"
