A teacher let her class play a game. She told each child to bring a bag containing a few potatoes. Each potato was given a name of a p{#blank#}1{#/blank#} that the child hated, so the number of the potatoes that a child put into his or her bag depended on how many people he or she hated. The children thought the game was i{#blank#}2{#/blank#} and each of them took their bag to school.

    Some children had two potatoes; some had three and o{#blank#}3{#/blank#} had up to five potatoes. The teacher then told the children to carry the bag everywhere they went for a week.

    At the b{#blank#}4{#/blank#} , the children carried their bag wherever they went. As the days went by, the children started to complain b{#blank#}5{#/blank#} the rotten (腐烂的) potatoes gave off an unpleasant smell. But the students also had to carry their bag.

    A week later, the teacher a{#blank#}6{#/blank#} , "How did you feel?" The children complained about the trouble they had to stand: they had to carry the smelly potatoes everywhere they went.

    Then the teacher said, "This is the situation (情况) when you carry your hate for somebody inside your heart. The smell of hate will pollute your heart and you will carry it wherever you go. If you cannot stand the smell of the rotten potatoes for just one week, can you imagine (想象) what it is like to have the smell of hate in your heart for your lifetime?"

    Once upon a time, a group of men came to a rainforest. They would{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(参加) a race there. One night, when they sat down for food,{#blank#}2{#/blank#}dog appeared. Slowly, it came{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(靠近，接近) them. It looked hungry, so they gave it some meat. As a r{#blank#}4{#/blank#}, the dog followed them everywhere.

    The men{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(加快速度) many times to prevent the dog{#blank#}6{#/blank#}following them. But each time{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(赶上) them. They went{#blank#}8{#/blank#}with their race, which included hiking, c{#blank#}9{#/blank#}a mountain, and running. It lasted for several days.

    One day, they went boating to a destination(目的地). They thought the dog might {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(放弃). Surprisingly, the dog jumped into the river and swam towards their boat. They were so m{#blank#}11{#/blank#}by the dog that tears came to their eyes and they let the dog into the boat.

    When the race was over, they were all t{#blank#}12{#/blank#}, and wanted to have a rest.Just then, they found the dog was covered with wounds. {#blank#}13{#/blank#}save the dog, they decided to take it to the hospital. After it r{#blank#}14{#/blank#}the treatment, it got better soon.

    Now the men regared it as one of their family{#blank#}15{#/blank#} /ˈmɛmbəz/.
