The nursing home invited me to play my violin for three{#blank#}1{#/blank#} (love) listeners I stopped in the room of the quiet and gentle woman, for whom I had played for two{#blank#}2{#/blank#} (time)before. She was sleeping but I set up anyway as I know she loves the violin. Her roommate was also with the health center for{#blank#}3{#/blank#}I volunteer and I asked if she wouldn't mind and maybe she would like it as well. She told me yes, please play but she was going to{#blank#}4{#/blank#} (weigh)soon. The weighing{#blank#}5{#/blank#} (take) about three minutes. My{#blank#}6{#/blank#} (sleep) beauty slept as I played and my other listener told me{#blank#}7{#/blank#} (repeated) how much she loved it and that I was just wonderful.

    It happened that another woman in the next door was sleeping lightly in front of her TV. She told me, " Why, sure, I would like music! Come on in!" Her TV and her room mate's TV{#blank#}8{#/blank#} (be) on (the room mate wasn't there). I played through it for one piece and asked if I could turn them off{#blank#}9{#/blank#}her. Oh please, she said. What{#blank#}10{#/blank#}difference today!

    I can well remember that I was once asked to deliver a speech titled "A Real Test in My Life" before the whole class at the age of 9! You can imagine how {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (terrible) shy I was with so many eyes fixed on me. I had no choice but {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (prepare) for it, though. First of all, I was to draft the speech, {#blank#}3{#/blank#} was just a piece of cake for me, a good writer. But the hardest part {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (lie) in my oral presentation from my memory—for to read from the paper {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (forbid). The real moment began when I stood on the platform with my legs {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (tremble) and my mind blank. But my listeners were waiting patiently without any signs of rushing me. Gradually I found {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (I) back, delivering my speech without difficulty. After {#blank#}8{#/blank#} seemed to be a hundred years, I found my audience applauding—I made it! From then on, my fear of talking before the audience disappeared. Actually with my {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (confident) built up, I now turn out to be a great speaker. Looking back, I know the {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (great) difficulty on our way to success is our fear. Overcome it and we will be able to achieve our goals.

    Living a life with meaning and purpose is the key to improving your psychological well-being. Your purpose doesn't{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(necessary), have to involve changing the world or finding a career {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(devote) to helping others. Instead, you might make it your purpose to be kind every day.

    {#blank#}3{#/blank#}you feel like your life lacks purpose, don't worry. There are many ways you can find purpose in life and build a life that has more meanings. You can begin by thinking about the legacy(遗赠) you would like to leave behind. Write down how you'd like to {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(remember) at the end: of your life, or think about the impact you want to leave {#blank#}5{#/blank#}the planet. Then, establish some{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(objective)that can help you reach those goals. {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(work) toward your goals will give you a reason, to get out of bed every day, beyond earning money.

    Thinking positively{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(improve) your psychological well-being. In turn, as your psychological well-being improves,{#blank#}9{#/blank#} becomes easier to think positively and feel good overall. Spend time thinking about some of the best memories - of your life. Whether it's a family vacation you went on 10 years ago or you won an award at work two years ago, recalling the {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(happy) times in your life can bring more positivity to your thinking.

    Today I will share a true story about an overseas student {#blank#}1{#/blank#}studied in Germany.

    After years of hard work, this student graduated with{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(amaze) achievements. Everyone was sure that he was going to get a good job {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(easy) and have a bright future. But to his surprise, he was not even given the chance for {#blank#}4{#/blank#}interview! It was the third time that he{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(refuse), he couldn't help{#blank#}6{#/blank#} (telephone) the company to ask why they didn't want him. The answer was simple. "We don't offer jobs to dishonest people in Germany."

    You might wonder what was wrong. The truth is, shortly after he{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(arrive) in Germany, this clever student found that{#blank#}8{#/blank#}was easy to skip(逃票) buying subway tickets in this country. So in order to save money, he often went in the subway without a ticket. As a result, he had been caught without a ticket many times.

    From this story, we learn that we may get short-term benefits（好处）in dishonest ways, {#blank#}9{#/blank#}the truth will come out sooner or later and the cost is high. So remember that{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(honest) may lead to failure. We must be honest. It is a rule.
