There was a rich man who wanted to choose a husband for his only child from a great number of pursuers. The man      all the pursuers to a river and pointed to the crocodiles there, saying, “Anyone who can swim across the river safely will marry my     ” The pursuers looked at each other and no one      take action. At that moment, a man dived into the river and swam      a surprising speed to the other side. All the people there      him with a great sense of admiration for his courage.     , the man, after landing on the bank, shouted     , “who pushed me into the river just now?”
Maybe the man,      thinking about the whole      and the happy consequences of his act, will eventually be      to the one who pushed him into the river. In life it is fairly      for disadvantages to turn into advantages and misfortunes into fortunes! But many of us are      to realize the true      of our “rivals” (对手) to success. Generally speaking, many people would see the one who “pushes him into the river” as a rival. However, the one who “pushes him into the river” gives you a feeling of urgency and inspires your ambition and      to strive for success! You try your best to      your difficulties and progress to the next stage in life!
If a man does not have rivals, he      be satisfied with the present and will not try to improve his     . He would      in the face of difficulties and sink into laziness. Therefore, your rivals are not your enemies. Instead, they are good     ! In our lives, we need some rivals to “pushes him into the river,” leading us to strive ahead in difficulties and competitions. Thanks to our rivals, we can show our      to its best. Thanks to our rivals, we are able to make continuous progress while competing with them!

My father died in December. He had spent the last several years in hospital, and my mother spent a lot of her time        him. That is without doubt, a     situation for any family. And the       was a team of fairly frustrated family members.
My biggest frustration was trying to        why he didn’t make choices that would       him to be involved more fully in the lives of his grandchildren. Yet he     each and every one of them. Every morning he asked my mother which of his grandbabies was going to       that day. He had frequent visits from his collection of loving grandkids. Kids would have the place     up instantly—toys everywhere, cushions off the couches and the TV channel       to their station. Every visit was a kid invasion into his space. Interestingly, he was not at all bothered by the      or chaos at all. He was never       with them and he certainly never shouted at any child. Visits ended with       and kisses.
I felt that relationship wasn’t good enough because he didn’t actually do anything        my children. My dad didn’t read to the children, and certainly        played a board game or did a puzzle with them. He didn’t take them out for        or do any of the other things I saw active grandparents doing with their grandchildren. It made me sad that he was        to get on with the kids.
A couple of weeks after his death, my 9-year-old daughter turned up in my bedroom at midnight to share a
      of him done by herself. Included in the picture were several messages and        —one for each day since he had died. The most striking one to me was“I loved EVERYTHING about you, Grandpa”.
Apparently, I was       . All that time I thought he wasn’t doing anything with his grandchildren, but he was very actively doing the thing that was most        to them. He loved them. And it was all they needed.

Eighty-year-old retired tailor, James McKay, spent Saturday night in jail after      thirty-year-old Keith Smith over the head      his walking stick. McKay's wife, Laurence told us that while McKay is usually a        person, he had been        to this act of violence by getting wet just once too often.
Smith lives above the McKays and it appears that not only is he a keen gardener, he is also a        collector. Unfortunately for him, the water he sent over his balcony every day ended up on the McKay's, or too often, on the McKays       .
“For the last fortnight, since Smith moved into the flat above us, we have hardly dared to go to our       ,” said Laurence. She added that it wasn't so much the water falling onto their balcony from Smith watering his plant        bothered them, it was more the way he cleaned his fish tanks. “We'd be        there happily reading our newspapers, when        so much water would come from above that we'd be as wet as if we'd        with our clothes on! Neither could we get rid of the        of fish!”
And on Saturday evening it was just too       . “It was James's birthday,” explained Laurence, “and I'd made him a birthday cake. The candles were a great sight as you can imagine, but James didn't get to blow them out.”       , Smith emptied one of his larger tanks over his balcony and both the McKays and the cake were wet       . Rarely had Laurence seen McKay move so fast. “I couldn't        him. He was up there in a flash. It was the fastest I'd seen him move since 1964.”
Smith is not going to take things further with the police. He has also promised to change his        from now on. And what of James McKay?        he left the police station, a large crowd of supporters sang him, “Happy Birthday”. “      the most exciting birthday       !” said the cheerful old man. “The best since my adolescence I'd say!”

She    both of us up to the    of the class and    him on one side of her desk and me on   . In the middle of her desk was a large, round object. I could    see that it was black. She asked the boy what    the object was. "White," he answered.
I couldn't believe he said the object was white,    it was obviously black! Another    started between my classmate and me, this    about the color of the object.
The teacher told me to go to stand where the boy was standing and told him to come to stand where I had been. We changed   , and now she asked me what the color of the object was. I  answer, "White." It was an object with two    colored sides, and from his side it was white.    from my side was the color black.
My teacher taught me a very important lesson that day: You must    in the other person's shoes and look at the     through their eyes in order to    understand their view.

When I was 8, a gentleman came to my orphanage(孤儿院)and taught us how to do woodworking projects.
I remember my first project—a small table. I was so      of it that I looked upon it as if I had created a(an)     . It was absolutely beautiful and it had taken me six weeks to      it. I could hardly wait to give it to Mother Winters as a     . She was the head mistress of our orphanage, who was always      with us.
As the tables were not dry from the clear coating, the man told us to wait a few days before taking them to our dormitories. But I was just so      and happy that I couldn’t wait. I dashed out like a     , carrying my table, smiling from ear to ear.
When I reached the dormitory I placed the little table beside my bed. I was      it when Mother Winters entered. She walked over to the table. Running her hand      it, she noticed that it was still wet.
“Were you      to bring this home?” she asked.
“No, ma’am,” I      with my head down.
She ordered me to throw the table out and so I did. After she left, I immediately opened the door to get it back. There was      stuck all over. I brushed and cried, but it would not come off.
I hid the table in my closet and never      it. A year later while cleaning up, I gave the table to Mother Henderson, my houseparent(宿管员), thinking that she would      it away.
Thirty years later at a reunion, I      that Mother Henderson was living nearby, so I drove up to see her. We talked cheerfully for long. As I was about to leave, she asked me to come down to her      to get something important. I followed her      into a dark corner. She picked something up.      she turned around, I could see that she was holding a little table.
Mother Henderson kept the little table that I had given up for lost so long ago.
Today, I look at that table with bittersweet memories but full of      to Mother Henderson, who kept it for a young orphan who tried very hard to     .

The other day I was talking to a stranger on the bus; he told me that he had a good   36  in Chicago and he wondered if, by any chance, I   37  to know him . For a moment, I thought he might be   38  ,but I could tell from the expression on his face that he was not. He was   39 . I felt like saying that it was ridiculous (可笑的) to   40  that out of all the millions of people in Chicago I could possibly have ever bumped into his friend. But,   41 , I just smiled and reminded him that Chicago was a very   42  city. He nodded, and I thought he was going to be content to drop the subject and talk about something else. But I was wrong. He was silent for a few minutes, and then he   43  to tell me all about his friend.
His friend’s main   44  in life seemed to be tennis. He was an excellent tennis player , and he   45   had his own tennis court. There were a lot of people with swimming   46 , yet there were only two people with private tennis court; his friend in Chicago was one of them. I told him that I knew several   47  like that, including my brother, who was a doctor in California. He   48  that maybe there were more private courts in the country than he   49  but he did not know of any others. Then he asked me   50  my brother lived in California. When I said Sacramento, he said that was a coincidence   51  his Chicago friend spent the summer in Sacramento last year and he lived next door to a   52  who had a tennis court in his backyard. I said I felt that really was a coincidence (巧合) because my next-door neighbour had gone to Sacramento last summer and had   53  the house next to my brother’s house. For a moment, we stared at each other, but we did not say anything.
“Would your friend’s name happen to be Roland Kirkwood?” I asked finally. He   54  and said, “Yes. Would your brother’s name happen to be Dr Rey Hunter?” It was my   55  to laugh. “Yes,” I replied.
