One morning, my son, Chilly, found a carpenterworm(毛毛虫) unexpectedly and put it in a jar. Each day he couldn’t   36  to visit the little guest. Few weeks later we discovered it   37  in a cocoon (茧).
Chilly surely knew a moth (蛾) or butterfly was about to be   38 . He was   39  to know what gift nature was about to give him. Gradually we found it half transparent and we could   40  the wings of the unborn. Soon, a moth broke free, and then   41  eggs, completing its life cycle.
The next day, I   42  Chilly it was time to set it free. He took it   43  and opened the jar. It circled the yard twice, came back, and   44  on Chilly’s arm. He picked it up and threw it in the air. The moth repeated its    45  pattern. He tried over and over, but each time it would   46  to his arm so that Chilly had to give up.
The next day he attempted to set it free again, and after a few repetitions the moth finally  47  into the grass.
Like a   48 , I believe the moth was afraid to   49  what it was comfortable with. It wanted to stay with something    50 , scared to move on and experience something unknown.
I was once that little moth. My cocoon was my mother’s   51 , in which I was comfortable, and hated to fly too far away from it. I was   52  when my first job required me to move to a new city. Humans are creatures of   53 . We resist change. However, if I hadn’t moved, I would not have experienced many   54  and wonderful things or met many of my friends. So each move gave me the   55  to learn and experience, but best of all, I met friends.

The Man was very sad. He knew that the Cat's days were  31 . The doctor had said there wasn't anything more that could be done, that he should take the Cat home and make him as  32 as possible.
The man put the Cat on his lap and 33  .The Cat opened his eyes, purred and looked up at the Man. A tear

" Why do you cry, Man?" the Cat asked. "Because you can't   36 the thought of losing me? Because you think you can never replace me?" The Man  37 "yes".
"And where do you think I'll be   38  I leave you?" the Cat asked. The Man shrugged helplessly. " 39 
your eyes, Man," the Cat said. The Man gave him a questioning look, but did as he was told.
"What color are my eyes and fur?" the Cat asked. " Your eyes are gold and your fur is a rich, warm brown," the Man replied.
"And where is it that you most often   40  me?" asked the Cat. “I see you. . . on the kitchen window
  41  the birds …,on my favorite chair. . . on my desk lying on the papers I need. . . on the pillow next to my
  42 at night. " "Then, whenever you wish to see me, all you must do is close your eyes," said the Cat.
“Pick up that piece of string from the floor——there, my ‘toy’ .” he Man opened his eyes, then  43 over and picked up the string. It was about two feet long and the Cat had been able to   44  himself                                                                                                                                                                                                    
for hours with it. '"Now take each end of the string in one hand," the Cat ordered. The Man did so.
"The end in your left hand is my birth and the end in your right hand is my   45 . Now bring the two ends together," the Cat said. The Man obeyed.
"You have made a continuous  46  ," said the cat. "Does any point along the string appear to be different, worse or better than any other part of the string?" The Man inspected the string and then   47  his head " no".
The Man shut his eyes hard as the tears poured down his face. He saw the Cat on the  48  , then in his bed, then lying across his important papers. He saw him on the pillow next to his head, saw his bright gold eyes and darkest brown on his nose and ears. He opened his eyes and  49 his tears looked over at the circle of string he still held in his hand.          
One day, not long after, there was a new Cat on his lap. She was lovely and white…very different from his earlier   50 Cat and very much the same.

Last weekend, my kids along with a few other kids from the neighborhood volunteered to help me wash my car.My 10-year-old daughter came up with the idea of  31 other people’s cars as well.It was pretty   32  outside and I had no plans to   33  being in the bright sun.She   34  wanted to give lemonade(柠檬汽水)to passers-by for free.I had seen little kids  35  and sell fresh lemonade for a small cost but not free.Although I felt   36 , I decided to help her.

All that seemed   44   and came right from their heart.Nothing seemed to   45  to them: their playtime, the heat outside—they just wanted to   46 others and do something nice in the community!
I helped them make some fresh lemonade and brought out some additional   47 to help clean cars.Passers-by were   48   and one even shouted back to them saying “God Bless You, my kids…” One of them even tried giving them 5 dollars, which they refused.A pretty heartwarming   49  !
I feel blessed by being   50  by such wonderful and loving souls.

My name is Ralph and I am 42 years old. I work in a factory that I enjoy very much. On May 27, 1999, I was working on an automatic machine. While working my hand was pulled into the machine and my middle finger on my right hand was ripped off. I had surgery to replace what was left of the finger and now I have a finger that is almost as long as my index finger.
Over the years I have been very blessed for a full and healthy life. Most of all, blessed for having my wife. We have grown together and grown in our faith. Life is going to go on with or without my finger. I was not going to let this take over my life and I pushed to go back to work and got light duty.
This was where my lesson began. When I returned to work, I started getting comments and some teasing from people asking me if it was worth losing my finger over a pack of cigarettes. Someone started a rumor that I had dropped a pack of cigarettes and reached down to pick them up and that is how I lost my finger. This is not true. This rumor hurt more than losing my finger in that machine. Everyone was called in to a meeting to resolve this matter and get the story straight. I had to share my lesson.

Jimmy is an automotive mechanic, but he lost his job a few months ago. He has a good heart, but always feared applying for a new job.
One day, he gathered up all his strength and decided to attend a job interview. His appointment was at 10 am and it was already 8:30. While waiting for a bus to the office where he was supposed to be interviewed, he saw an elderly man wildly kicking the tyre of his car. Obviously there was something wrong with the car. Jimmy immediately went up to lend him a hand. When Jimmy finished working on the car, the old man asked him how much he should pay for the service. Jimmy said there was no need to pay him; he just helped someone in need, and he had to rush for an interview. Then the old man said, “Well, I could take you to the office for your interview. It’s the least I could do. Please, I insist.” Jimmy agreed.
Upon arrival, Jimmy found a long line of applicants waiting to be interviewed. Jimmy still had some grease on him after the car repair, but he did not have much time to wash it off or have a change of shirt. One by one, the applicants left the interviewer’s office with disappointed look on their faces. Finally his name was called. The interviewer was sitting on a large chair facing the office window. Rocking the chair back and forth, he asked, “Do you really need to be interviewed?” Jimmy’s heart sank. “With the way I look now, how could I possibly pass this interview?” he thought to himself.
Then the interviewer turned the chair and to Jimmy’s surprise, it was the old man he helped earlier in the morning. It turned out he was the General Manager of the company.
“Sorry I had to keep you waiting, but I was pretty sure I made the right decision to have you as part of our workforce before you even stepped into the office. I just know you’d be a trustworthy worker. Congratulations!” Jimmy sat down and they shared a cup of well-deserved coffee as he landed himself a new job.
