Yesterday, I met a delightful woman at a work event. As we talked, she told me about her       in Manila, Philippines. She spoke about the     her culture values their elders,and she explained that children are         from the time of birth to respect and          people older than themselves.
It was       to hear that,so I enjoyed listening and learning. Here is her memory       I found so beautiful:
When she was growing up, her father had three jobs to       his family. She said her dad never      , and though he worked very hard, he always had       for them. One day, her father was        at his full-time job. For several months, he was mailed temporary disability checks       he was recovering.
When her father was able to return to his full-time job, he took all those disability        that were sent to him while he was recovering and handed them back to the        . He told them that he had two good legs and arms, and did not need this money. He told them to give the money to people who could not work, to people who        needed it.
The woman telling the story was a little girl at that time. She had        her father that very day when he went back to his company        all those unopened checks. "My father is my hero," she      . Lowering her voice, she said she would never forget what he did, and what an           and influential mentor(导师) he was on how to live a life.
From my communication with her, it was          that her father's same sweet spirit had been       to this woman, and to her family. Hearing this story was so refreshing to my soul. I hope it is for you too.

Teach him to sell his strength and brains to the highest bidder(出价人), but never to put a price on his       . Teach him to close his ears to a howling mob(暴徒) and to stand and        if he thinks he's right. Teach him gently, World, but don't        him, because only the        of fire makes fine steel. This is a big order, World, but see what you can do. He is such a nice little fellow.

阅读下面短文,从短文后所给各题的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
People usually get into a hard life and are unable to escape from themselves.
There was once a poor and disappointed salesman complaining every day that there was no      for him to display his ability and the      was often pulling his legs.
At Christmas Eve, every family      their houses with lanterns and streamers and it was very      everywhere. But he was alone sitting in a bench in a park and recalling the past. It was on the same day last year when he was also alone      his Christmas day away,      new clothes, new shoes, let alone a new car and a new house.
“Damn! I have to spend this Christmas day with these old shoes again. ” he      and began to take off the old shoes.      , he glanced at a young man in a wheel chair passing by him with his hands strugglingly pushing the wheel forward. It      him that he was so lucky to have shoes to wear while that man did not even have the     . Afterwards, the sales man did anything with a calm      and cherished every opportunity to improve himself. He worked hard and tried his best to make progress every day. Several years later, he      changed his life totally and became a millionaire.
If you look all around, you will find there are so many people who were born      in the society but they are      in life and never complain about the unfair destiny. They are also not to beg others’ giving. Instead, they constantly      to make themselves stronger and more excellent to      the society. By contrast, we should feel      . We are born healthy, but we are      with life; we complain about our colleagues and dissatisfy with our jobs.
Maybe all of us would feel afraid when we realize we have fallen into such      state of life, but worse is that you even do not      you have fallen into such a dangerous situation.
