Long long ago, a circle missed one piece of its own. The circle wanted to be whole（完整的）, so it went around looking for its 1piece. But because it was 2 and therefore could roll only very slowly, it 3 the flowers along the way. It 4with the worms. It enjoyed the sunshine. It found lots of different pieces, but 5of them fitted. So it left them all by the side of the road and 6searching. Then one day the circle found a piece that fitted 7. It incorporated (把……并入) the missing piece into itself and began to roll. 8it was a perfect circle, it could roll very fast, 9fast to notice the flowers or talk to the worms. After it realized how different the world seemed when it rolled so quickly, it 10 ， left its found piece by the side of the road and rolled slowly away.

        The 11 of the story, I suggest, is that in some strange 12 we are more whole when we are missing something. In some way，the man who has 13 is a poor man. He will never know what it 14 like to nourish (滋养) his soul with the dream of something15. When we accept that 16 is part of being human and when we can continue rolling 17 life and appreciate it, we will have 18 wholeness that others can only desire(渴望), which, I believe, is 19 God asks of us — not “Be perfect”， not “Don't even make a mistake”, 20“Be whole”．

        Days before the European Football Championships kick off in Basel, Swiss police have sent letters to football hooligans(足球流氓) warning them that no violence would be tolerated, a Swiss tabloid reported Thursday.

        The tabloid(小报) said atleast 300 of the letters addressed to “Dear Mr/Mrs” hooligan and titled “For a peaceful international football festival” have been sent out to known trouble-makers.

         “We know that you are someone who does not always hold fast to the rules in sports events. Therefore, to our knowledge, you have been banned from the stadiums,” wrote the police,

         “We wish that you too could enjoy this major sports event in a sportsmanlike and festive fashion,” it added.

        However, the police also warned that they would “not tolerate” any violence, and would “intervene promptly in any such occurrences”.

        As it began politely, the letter also concluded amicably, saying: “We hope that we would only encounter each other in a pleasant manner. In case you have any questions, please get in touch with us.”

        Meanwhile, individual cantons of orderly Switzerland have also come up with appeals for fans to not “compromise the tranquility(平静) of residents” after the matches. Canton Vaud, where the French and Dutch football teams are staying, said that “cortege or convoys of vehicles are not favored by the police”.

        It added that “those who show no respect for traffic lights, speed limits and the priority and security of pedestrians （行人）, would be condemned”. The canton said fans could “express their joy” in pedestrian zones which are accessible via public transport.

         “The police will be tolerant on noise at the end of matches, but will watch that it does not go too far to compromise the tranquility of residents,” it added.
