Passage 1
As a child, I started learning to play the piano, my favorite musical
41
,but I was forced to give up when I started my middle school
42
I could concentrate more on my studies.
It’s one of my biggest
43
to stop practicing the piano when I recall sadly today. During the following years, I kept telling my piano teacher that I would
44
. However, I didn’t keep my promise because I was
45
with my study.
46
I lost touch with my teacher. Some years later, my teacher died. I was very sad because I lost such a good teacher. She was a very warm and gentle person. It hurts me to think she may have been
47
that I never returned. I haven’t taken lessons since then but to be honest, I
48
to. Sitting at the piano, I couldn’t help recalling many
49
-- times of my practising at home and playing before my teacher and one time my teacher
50
me after I played entire pieces of music wrong in front of her colleagues. I was so
51
that I could hardly say anything. But her
52
helped ease my shame. These memories,
53
, good or bad, never caused my
54
for playing the piano again.
This thought then led me to think that
55
is like music, and that we all try to play different
56
in the instrument of our life. Sometimes the pitch(音高) is
57
when we play it well, but sometimes we are out of tone. However, we all continue to create our own
58
style of music. No matter what style our music is, it is
59
that we sing the songs of joy, quietness and love. Though I may never make it back to piano lessons, it doesn’t
60
that I’ve stopped making music.

Passage 2
Every one of us, rich or poor, should at least have one or two good friends. I learned that a true friend is the most important in my life after I had gone
41
so many terrible things. I felt upset when I was told that I would have to
42
the company. As I had a very big family to
43
and was in great need of money, what I was
44
about was how to find another new job. In order to
45
this problem, I rushed from place to place like crazy. I read almost all the newspapers and
46
almost all the telephone numbers in the newspaper
47
in my notebook and tried to call almost all the companies that needed new
48
. Not until I found a job in a small town near Townsville had I
49
down. My new boss, Mr. Johnson, was one of my good friends since primary school. “Why didn’t you
50
me until now? Was it
51
to do that ? Explain to me the reason,” he said,
52
me a cup of hot coffee. Both of us were overjoyed to see each other and we
53
the whole afternoon talking about things and persons that we
54
at school. John asked me to give him some advice about
55
to enlarge his present business and he was entirely happy about my
56
. To my great surprise, he offered me a
57
which didn’t need much experience because I was not
58
with this field but the pay l got was much more than
59
. The moment I saw my
60
, the sum of money given by the company, I cried for the first time — that was the first time for me to do so since I grew up.

Passage 3
One Saturday. I went shopping with my daughter, Helen, and son, Brandon. The car was filled with the children's laughing and singing
As we
41
up, we saw a truck with a big sign on it that
42
"Petting Zoo. " The kids jumped up and asked, "Daddy, can we go?" "Sure." I said, giving them
43
a quarter (25 cents) before walking into the shopping center. They ran away and I felt free to take my time looking for
44
I needed. There are a hundred little baby animals of all kinas in the
45
zoo.
Kids pay their money and stay there with the animals they like
46
their moms and dads shop.
Several minutes later. I
47
and saw Helen walking along behind me. I was surprised to see she
48
to shop rather than play with the animals. And I thought the children had co wait oil the
parents came to
49
them up
I came up and asked what was wrong.
She
50
at me with those big brown eyes and said sadly. "Well, Daddy. it cost 50cents. So, I gave Brandon my

. " Then she said the most
52
thing I ever heard. She repeated the family motto
53
is action!" She had given Brandon her quarter , and
54
loves little animals more than Helen. She had watched what both my
55
and I did for years around the house after we had said "love is
action! " And now it had become a
56
of her lifestyle.
Then we went back to the petting zoo
We stood
57
Brandon go crazy petting and feeding the animals
I had 50 cents
58
a hole in my pocket
J never
59
it
to Helen, and she never asked for it

Passage 4
I am a mom of two young children whom we home-school. This
41
that they are with me almost constantly. Whenever possible I will
42
random acts of kindness;
43
things like paying for the order behind me in the drive-thru lane, holding doors, etc. So, they are very
44
with the concept and are, of course,
45
to also do "nice" things for others.
Just a few days ago we stopped
46
our local grocery store to pick up a few things which quickly turned into an entire cart load of stuff. We got into one of the two open checkout lanes and waited our
47 . While waiting a young man came up behind us with only a few
48
in his basket. I told him to go ahead of us as we were in no
49 .
He seemed very pleasantly surprised and graciously
50 . As he began putting his items on the belt the clerk began to
51
her till tape so we had a fairly long wait in line. My kids were very
52
behaved but they were still children; they asked questions, they talked
53 , they moved around and they were generally very entertaining. (To me, anyway.)
I could see the young man watching and listening with a smile on his face.
We were putting our groceries on the
54
when the clerk finished with
55
order. What I didn't know was that he had heard my kids
56
bubble gum. I had agreed they could have some.
57 , he picked up a pack of bubble-gum and asked the clerk to ring it through twice before putting it back. He then told my kids that he bought their gum
58
their mom was
59
enough to let him go ahead in the queue.
The experience really drove home the
60
that good begets(产生，引起) good for my lovely little kiddos（亲呢的称呼：小伙子）.
