In one’s life，one spends the most time  1  with oneself．But one has the least understanding of oneself．When you are successful，you may be very proud．When you  2  ，you may lose heart．If you don’t get a thorough understanding of yourself（彻悟自我），you may miss many chances in life．

To get a thorough understanding of yourself is to know well about yourself．You may realize your strong points and weak  3 ．You may hope for a wonderful future．but be sure not to expect too much because not  4  dreams can come true．You may be confident enough to meet challenges，but first you should know  5  ．

To get a thorough understanding of yourself needs self-appreciation（自我欣赏）．Maybe you think you are a tall tree  6  just small grass，but you can always have your own way of being there．As soon as you get full confidence in yourself, you are sure to face any trouble．

To get a thorough understanding of yourself also means to  7  yourself．When you are angry，find a quiet place so that you won’t be hurt．When you are  8 ，tell your friends about it to change the mood（心情）into a good one．When you are tired，get a good sleep．If you don’t know when and how you should look after yourself you  9  be able to stay away from illness．

__10  can tell what will happen in the future．Get a thorough understanding of yourself．And you will get full control（控制）of yourself and find your life full of color．

Some people remember things by 1_______ notes to themselves．Then they leave the notes in obvious places，2_______ on the table or on the floor．I don’t think I like to write notes to 3_______．Most of the time I lose them or forget to look at them until it's too 4_______．I prefer to use an alarm clock to tell me what I should do．I have ten alarm 5_______ in my house．They could tell me about things．For example, if I have to make a telephone call at a certain time，I'll set an alarm clock to 6_______ a few minutes early and put the clock by the 7_______．Or if I want to watch a certain television program．I'll set an alarm clock at the right time and put the clock on top of the TV set．I can remember almost anything if I use my clocks．However, sometimes an alarm clock goes off and I don’t know what it 8_______．I always remember to set it，but not why I set it．If the clock is by the telephone，I know I may have set it to tell me to 9_______ someone，but I can’t be 10_______ I might have set it to tell myself that somebody was to call me at a certain time．

Dear Mrs. Smith,

I was a student of yours in Grade Six, and I hope you still remember me．I’m writing this letter because I want to let you know that the school year with you was important and special to me．It made a big contribution（贡献） to my life．

I know I was very quiet in your class，and you never said much to me．But you did something that made a big difference in my life．You see，all through my first year in schools，I hated to read．Books were just words that had very little to do with me, and I was bored by them．I’ll never forget the first day of Grade Six when you took out a thick（厚的）book and began to read the story to our class．Your voice seemed to change with the people in the story，and you drew pictures in my mind as you read aloud. Since that day，I couldn’t wait until after lunch when you would read to the class．You read us all kinds of wonderful books．

During the summer after my year in your class，I missed hearing the stories you would read．So one day I picked up a book and read it all on my own．I found out that I could make the words interesting, too. Now，I love to read! Thank you for opening the world of books for me．

Yours,

Linda
