　　and enthusiasm.

　　33

　　skills and talents bring great success, the most valuable asset(财富)one can hold is the heart.”

　　36

　　side by side at the piano. They played jazz music to celebrate their new home. The loud

　　people and he couldn’t imagine any of them had done that. Later that morning, Dario suggested that they write a letter to their

　　you an apology.” she said. “I didn’t

　　51

　　how late it was when we were playing. Maybe we should play some quieter music at night.

　　“You play, you play!” Mrs. Gilbert said. “I like what you play! Just not so loud at night.”She pointed to the book she had given them. “These songs are not such

　　52

　　music.”

　　“These songs are beautiful music.” Dario’s mother said. “We will be

　　53

　　to play them in the evening.”

　　“And we won’t play so loud or late!” Dario said. He was already looking forward to

　　My fiance (未婚夫) and I were excited about shopping for our first home. But our funds were

　　One agent

　　17

　　a house in particular. Although her description sounded wonderful, the price was

　　18

　　our range, so we declined. But she kept urging us to have a look

　　19

　　.

　　We finally did and it was

　　20

　　at first sight. It was Our Home, small and charming, overlooking a quiet lake. Walking through the rooms and talking with the owners, a nice elderly couple, we felt the warmth and

　　21

　　than the original asking price.

　　The next day, we got a

　　directly. We made our final offer, which

　　by selling it to us, but it was worthwhile; we were the people they wanted to live there. He told us to consider the

　　That’s how we found our home and how I learned that when people are

　　One of the easiest things in the world is to become a fault-finder. However, life can be 36 when you are not busy finding fault with it.

　　Several years ago I 37 a letter from seventeen-year-old Kerry, who described herself as a world-class fault-finder, almost always 38 by things. People were always doing things that annoyed her, and 39 was ever good enough. She was highly self-critical and also found fault with her friends. She became a really 40 person.

　　Unfortunately, it took a horrible accident to change her 41 Her best friend was seriously hurt in a car crash. What made it almost 42 to deal with was that the day before the 43 , Kerry had visited her friend and had spent the whole time criticizing her 44 of boyfriends, the way she was living, the way she related to her mother, and various other things she felt she needed to 45 It wasn't until her friend was badly hurt that Kerry became 46 her habit of finding fault. Very quickly, she learned to appreciate life rather than to 47 everything so harshly ( 刻薄) . She was able to transfer her new wisdom to other parts of her 48 as well.

　　Perhaps most of us aren't as extreme at fault-finding, 49 when we're honest, we can be sharply 50 of

　　the world. I'm not suggesting you 51 problems, or that you pretend things are 52 than they are, but simply that you learn to allow things to be as they are— 53 most of the time, and especially when it's not a really big 54 .

　　Train yourself to "bite your tongue" , and with a little 55, you'll get really good at letting things go. And when you do, you'll get back your enthusiasm and love for life.

　　The Fitting-in of Suzy Khan

　　The first time I saw Suzy Khan, I knew I had to help her. She was really small for her age of 12. The boy in my class often

　　36

　　about her and laughed their heads off. She would open a book, pretending to read, with tears dropping on the open page.

　　All I knew was that she was an orphan (孤儿) from Africa. She had just been adopted by a family in town who

　　37

　　that the best way for her to learn American ways of life was to be with American kids. I looked down at this

　　38

　　girl and promised myself that somehow I would help her.

　　But how could I help her

　　39

　　in with us? There had to be a

　　40

　　.

　　One day, when I went into the classroom, I saw that Suzy had

　　41

　　her geography book to a picture of a train, and in her notebook, she had made a(n)

　　42

　　copy.

　　I was surprised and thought that she could do something in the coming

　　43

　　show. So, I took her to see the art teacher, Miss Parker, and showed her what Suzy had

　　44

　　. “why, it’s wonderful,” said Miss Parker, who then showed us a poster she had painted

　　45

　　the talent show. “I need more of these, but I just don’t have enough

　　46

　　. Could you help me, Suzy?”

　　On the day of the talent show, Suzy’s

　　47

　　were everywhere ---- all over the hall and all over the school, each one different.

　　“And finally,” said Mr Brown, the schoolmaster, at the end of the show, “we have a (n) award. I’m sure you’ve all noticed the wonderful posters.” Everyone nodded. “One of our own students

　　49

　　them.”

　　I could hear everyone whispering. “Who in our school could draw

　　50

　　well?”

　　Mr. Brown waited a while before saying, “

　　51

　　this student worked so hard on the posters, she deserves a

　　52

　　,too. Our mystery(神秘) artist is our new student ---- Suzy Khan!”

　　Mr. Brown thanked her for all the wonderful posters and gave her a professional artist’s set. “Thank you,” she cried.

　　I

　　53

　　, at that time when I was looking at her excited face, she’d probably never ___54 ___ anything in her whole life.

　　Everyone started to

　　55

　　their hands. Suzy Khan gave them a shy smile and the applause was deafening. I knew then Suzy was going to be all right.
