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     .

There are many kinds of friends. Some are always        you, but don't understand you. Some say only a few words to you, but understand you. Many people will step in your life, but only        friends leave footprints.
I shall always recall the autumn and the girl with the        . I know she will always be my best friend. I could see the yellow leaves         in the cool wind. In such a        , I liked walking alone in the leaves,         to the sound of them. Autumn is a harvest season. However,         is uninteresting. The free days always get me      . But one day, the sound of a violin       into my ears like a stream flowing in the mountains. A young girl, standing in the wind, was        in playing her violin.  I had        seen her before. The music was so nice that I listened quietly. Lost in the music, I didn't know that I had been     _  there for so long but my existence(存在) did not seem to disturb(打扰)her.
Every day she played the violin in the corner of the building        I went downstairs to watch her performance. The autumn seemed no longer lonely and life became       . Though we didn't know each other, I thought we were already good       .
One day, when I was listening carefully, the sound suddenly       . To my surprise, the girl came over to me. “You must like violin,” she said. “Yes. And you play very well. Why did you stop?” I asked. Suddenly, a        expression appeared on her face and I could feel something unusual. “I came here to see my grandmother, but now I must leave, I once played very badly. It was your listening every day that       me,” she said. “In fact, it was your playing        gave me a meaningful autumn,” I answered, “Let's be friends.” The girl smiled, and so did I.
I never heard her play again in my life. But I will always remember the fine figure(身影) of the girl. She is like a       -so short, so bright, like a shooting star giving off much light that makes the autumn beautiful.

Last week I was in Houston on business, and I ran into Bill in the bar at the hotel.   , I wasn’t even    it was he. Was this short-haired businessman really the same person? I wasn’t really sure until I came near him, but it indeed was Bill. Now he works for a bank. He    most of the evening about his job, his new car and his house. How he had changed! Back when we were in college, the   thing Bill cared about was possessions. Now they seemed to be his main  . Although I have changed quite a bit myself, somehow, I never    Bill changing so much. My image of him    the one I had formed    the time when we were college students together.
I suppose it’s    to expect people to remain the same, especially    I have changed so much myself. But I must say that I enjoyed the old Bill much more than the new Bill. Maybe he    the same way about me.

In 1982, Steven Callahan was crossing the Atlantic alone in his sailboat when it struck something and sank.He got into a life boat, but his supplies were   21 .His chances of surviving were small.  22  when three fishermen found him 76 days later, he was alive —much   23  than he was when he started, but alive.
His   24  of how he survived is fascinating.His cleverness —how he   25  to catch fish, how he evaporated(蒸发) sea water to   26  fresh water—is very interesting.
But the thing that   27  my eye was how he managed to keep himself going when all hope seemed lost, and there seemed no   28  in continuing the struggle.He was starved and 29  worn-out.Giving up would have seemed the only possible choice.
When people   30  these kinds of circumstances, they do something with their minds that gives them the courage to keep going.Many people in   31  desperate circumstances 32   in or go mad.Something the survivors do with their thoughts helps them find the courage to carry on   33  difficulties.
"I tell myself I can     34    it, “wrote Callahan in his book. -Compared to what others have been through,I'm fortunate. I tell myself these things over and over,    35 up courage...
I wrote that down after I read it. It  36   me as something important. And I've told myself the same thing when my own goals seemed    37 off or when my problems seemed too terrible. And every time I've said it, I have always come back to my   38    .
The truth is,our circumstances are only bad  39  to something better. But others have been through the much worse; that is, in comparison with what others have been through,you’re fortunate. Tell this to yourself over and over again, and it will help you   40   through the rough
situations with a little more courage.
