12.根据短文内容和首字母提示,填写所缺单词.
You may not realize it,but you are doing much more than just studying when you are at school.School is (72)also the place where you learn to get along well with people.But this is not always easy.What can you do if you just don't like one of your classmates?
If you (73)discover that you have problems getting along with your classmates or friends,the most important thing to learn is tolerance(宽容).Tolerance is the ability to realize and respect the differences in others.We cannot change the (74)way(s) that other people do,so it is important to learn to live (75)happily with them.
Tolerance will make everyone get on better with each other.(76)Knowingothers constantly(不断地) makes us understand others'differences.
Something different does not exactly mean that it is bad.Tolerance (77)teaches/tellsus to keep an even temper(温和的脾气) and an open mind.
You need to remember an old saying,"Treat others (78)how you want to be treated."You would like to be treated kindly by your classmates,so it is important to treat them kindly too.If you tolerate something,it does not mean that you have to like it.No one is asking you to change who you are or what you believe in.Tolerance just means that you (79)should respect the differences in others and not to try to make them change.
It is important to practice tolerance,because it will make (80)everyone's/everybody's/everyday life easier.Learn to accept people for (81)their different abilities and interests.The world is very different,and practicing tolerance in your own school and city can help make things better.

6.It was near Christmas during my first semester teaching a new school.I love my small special class more than any group I had taught in the past.They were hungry for knowledge and I was enjoying teaching.
     Other teachers had told me that our children were from poor families and not to expect any child to bring a Christmas gift.In fact,I wasn't expecting any gifts.
     Imagine my surprise when every child brought me a gift on the day before our holiday break.First,I got a much-loved stuffed monkey from a shy girl.I was told,"He is my favorite,but I love you and I want him to be with you,Miss Taylor"How thrilled I was!
     Next came a new set of Christmas tree lights that was"missing"from a mother's cupboard.
     Finally,I came to one little boy's gift which I had never received.It was an old,dirty and broken Christmas story book.Just then I wanted to express my happiness,I was interrupted(打断)by the giver,"And see,it is new!It still has the price tag.""
     When other children laughed at him,I stopped them and said,"Oh,books are good in that way.The story is always new if you have not read it before.Now,Let's share one together."Everyone listened quietly as I read the most wonderful Christmas story of my life.
I still keep those Christmas gifts,They always remind me of my lovely kids.
