A teacher once told each of her students to bring a clean plastic bag and a bag of potatoes to school. For every person they didn't want to forgive(原谅) in their lives, they chose a potato, wrote the person's1and the date on it and put it in the plastic bag. Some of their bags were very2.They were then told to carry this bag with them3for one week. They would put it beside their bed at night, on the seat when sitting in a car or on a bus , and next to their desks at4. The5carrying the bag around with them made students get to know what a weight they were carrying in their minds. They had to pay attention to(注意) it all the time so that they wouldn't6it or leave it in embarrassing(尴尬的) places. As time passed by, the potatoes went7and smelt terrible. Too often we think of tolerance(宽容) as a8to other people, but it clearly is for9! If we choose to keep our sadness and hatred(仇恨) in our hearts, we will have to10them around all our lives.

    Once there was a king who offered a prize to the artist who would paint the best picture of peace. Many artists 1 .The king looked at all pictures. But there were only two he really liked, and he had to choose2them.

    One picture was of a3lake. The lake was like a perfect mirror with peaceful high mountains all around it. Overhead was a blue sky with white soft clouds. All people who saw this picture4it was a perfect picture of peace.

    The other picture had5too. But these were rugged(崎岖的)and bare(光秃秃的). Above was an angry sky, from which rain fell and in which lightning played. Down the side of the mountain was a waterfall. This did not look peaceful6. But when the king looked closely, he saw behind the waterfall, there was a bush(灌木)7 in the crack(裂缝)of the rock. In the bush a mother bird had built her nest. She sat on her nest, watching the running water.

    After the king compared the two pictures8, he chose the second picture9explained, "Peace does not mean being in a place where there is no noise, trouble or hard work. Peace means when facing unhappy situations, you can still be calm in your10. That is the real meaning of peace."
