A: Mary, tomorrow is your Mum's 50th birthday, do you know?

B: Of course I do. Do you have any idea about how {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (celebrate) it, Dad?

A: Of course, first of all, a birthday present. What about {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (buy) her a beautiful skirt?

B: That's a good idea. It'll make her look {#blank#}3{#/blank#}（young）. and a big birthday cake, too, with fifties {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (candle).

A: That's right. {#blank#}5{#/blank#}we have a special dinner?

B: How about a Chinese dinner?

A: Fine, where will we have it?

B: Dad, we can have it at home . I {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (learn) to cook a few Chinese dishes from a Chinese friend, {#blank#}7{#/blank#} I am sure Mum would like {#blank#}8{#/blank#}.

A: All right. Will you do {#blank#}9{#/blank#}shopping too?

B: {#blank#}10{#/blank#} don't we go together, Dad?

A: OK.

    A teacher once told each of her students to bring a clear plastic bag and a large bag of potatoes to school. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} every person that the students refused to forgive in their life, they {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(choose) a potato, wrote on {#blank#}3{#/blank#} the name of that person and the date, and then put it in the plastic bag. Some of their bags were quite heavy.

    They were then told to carry these bags with them everywhere for one week,{#blank#}4{#/blank#} (put) them beside their beds at night, on their car seats when driving, and next to their desks at work.

    During this time,{#blank#}5{#/blank#} they carried the bags around with them, they realized what a weight they were carrying, and{#blank#}6{#/blank#}they needed to pay attention all the time, so as not to forget them or leave them in {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (embarrass) places. Of course, the potatoes were becoming {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (rot), and smelled very bad.

    This is the same as the price we pay for keeping our pain and {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (happy) with us! Forgiving others is not only a gift to them, but also a very good gift to {#blank#}10{#/blank#}！

    After weeks of rain, a town flooded and the people {#blank#}1{#/blank#} lived there had to move to a safe place. At one house, rescue workers found {#blank#}2{#/blank#} man standing deep in water. "Come on! Get in the boat!" the rescuers shouted. The man shouted back, "No! I have faith {#blank#}3{#/blank#} God, and He will save me!" Soon the floodwaters chased the man to the second floor. {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(luck), another boat came by at this point. "Get in the boat!" the rescuers urged. "No way!" the man said, stubborn in his thought {#blank#}5{#/blank#} God would save him. The floodwaters continued to rise, and the man had to climb to the roof of his house. Fortunately, a rescue helicopter came by and {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (drop) a ladder for him. The pilot shouted through a megaphone, "Grab the ladder!" The man refused and shouted the same thing again.

    But the floodwaters {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (rise) above the roof. The man {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (sweep) away and drowned. When {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (arrive) at heaven, he demanded to meet with God. "God, I was certain that you would save me, but you let me die. Why? Why did you abandon me?" God replied with a {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(puzzle) look, "What do you mean? I sent you two boats and a helicopter!"

    Jane felt sweet in the drive－through line at Heav'nly Donuts. Just the day before, a stranger ahead of her in line had {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (generous) paid for her coffee. "The gesture made such a big difference in my day," says Eileen. She had recently lost her job as a doctor's {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (assist), and money was tight. But Eileen {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (inspire) to pay the $12 bill of the family in the car behind hers. {#blank#}4{#/blank#} she didn't know was that her kindness would set off a chain reaction. In two and a half hours, fifty-five drivers paid for the order of the person behind {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (they). The doughnut shop's employees {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (see) this before. This Heav'nly Donuts, in fact, is known as a special place, the customers of {#blank#}7{#/blank#} are considered as the "best in the world". But, even so, the workers were {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (amaze) that the shop had more than doubled its previous record by the end of the day.

    Now {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (work) as a chemist, Jane visits Heav'nly Donuts every Saturday morning, picking up a coffee and paying for the order of the customer behind her. "Actually, I wish I {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (start) this deed much earlier." She said.
