Scott and his companions were terribly disappointed. When they got to the South Pole, they found the Norwegians（挪威人）had 1 them in the race to be the first ever to reach it. After2the British flag at the Pole, they took a photograph of themselves 3 they started the 950-mile journey back.

    The journey was unexpectedly4and the joy and excitement about the Pole had gone out of them. The sun hardly5. The snow storms always made it impossible to sight the stones they had 6 to mark their way home. To make things7. Evans, whom they had all thought of 8the strongest of the five, fell badly into a deep hole in the ice. Having9 along for several days, he suddenly fell down and died.

    The four who were 10 pushed on at the best speed they could 11. Captain Oates had been suffering for some time from his 12 fact; at night his feet swelled（肿胀） so large that he could 13 put his boots on the next morning, and he walked bravely although he was in great 14 . He knew his slowness was making it less likely that 15 could save themselves. He asked them to leave him behind in his sleeping-bag, but they refused, and helped him 16 a few more miles, until it was time to put up the 17 for another night.

    The following morning, 18 the other three were still in their sleeping-bags, he said. “I am just going outside and may be19some time.” He was never seen again. He had walked out 20 into the snow storm, hoping that his death would help his companions.

    I've always been a very anxious person—easily worried and stressed. And I've always been losing things.

    I'm not sure what exactly 1 my desire to attempt a more organized lifestyle. I started to attempt to be less 2and more organized. Instead of cleaning my room twice a year, I 3to do it about 4-6 times a year.

    Over a couple of years I started cleaning my room more, and I even 4using a planner on a daily basis: It took years to institute these actions into habits, 5I wasn't aiming for habits. I was simply trying to be a little 6—a little bit at a time.

    After I 7multiple outfits(装束) at home, 8leaving clothes on my bed and shoes on the floor, I put everything away before going out. After cooking and eating, I put everything in the dishwasher or wash it by hand. Each of these tasks only takes a few minutes. And not only does this 9immediate clutter(杂乱), but it's also much 10to deal with one mess at a time rather than leaving it all to turn into a giant mess. Organization creates ease, and ease creates organization, both of which 11to lower levels of stress and anxiety! And spending less time feeling 12means having more time to be happy, productive and present.

    Since I began intentionally being more organized, I find I have more 13to adopt other new habits to maintain(保持) and strengthen a calmer and cleaner lifestyle. Good habits result in more good habits, which help to create a better and happier you.

    If you find yourself worried, stressed or anxious beyond your control, then 14what you can—your 15. Create a comfortable, clean and calm space where you can escape from the outside world, and it doesn't have to be all at once.

    Around twenty years ago I was living in Seattle and going through hard times. I could not find 1work although I had a lot of experience and a Master's degree.

    To my 2, I had to drive a school bus to 3my family. At the same time, I had some 4with different companies but they all5to say I did not get the job. I went to the bus barn（车库）, feeling6.

    Later that afternoon, 7doing my rounds through the town I had an inner wave rise from deep 8 me and I thought "Why has my9become so hard?"

    Immediately after this internal（内心的）scream, I 10the bus over to drop off a little girl. As she11, she handed me an earring saying I should keep it12somebody looked for it. The13was stamped with words "BE HAPPY". Then it struck me. I had been putting all of my14into what was wrong with my life rather than what was15!

    One night there was a phone call for me from the16at a large hospital. She asked me whether I17do a one-day training for 200 hospital workers. I said 18and got the job.

    My day with the hospital workers19very well. I got a great20and many more days of work. To this day I know that it was because I changed my attitude to life.

    When I was in primary school, I had a big argument with a boy in my class. I can't remember what it was about, 1 I have never forgotten the 2 I learned that day.

    I was 3 that I was right and he was wrong. However, he strongly believed that I was wrong and he was right. The 4 decided to teach us a lesson. She came up with a good idea. She5 both of us to the 6 of the class and 7 him on one side of her grey desk and me on 8, In the middle of the desk was a large, round object. I could 9 see that it was black. She asked the boy 10 color the object was. "White," he answered in a loud voice.

    I couldn't believe that the object was whites 11 it was certainly black! One more 12 started between the boy and me, this time about the13 of the object.

    The teacher told me to go stand where the boy was standing and told him to come stand where I had been. We changed 14, and then she asked me what the color of the object was. I 15 answer, "White." It was then that I knew what was wrong. It was an object with two 16 colored sides, and from his side it was white. 17 from my side was it black.

    My teacher taught me a very important 1esson that day: You must 18 in other person's position (位置) and look at the 19 through their eyes in order to20 understand their ideas.

    Many people spend their New Year's Eve getting dressed up and dancing their way to midnight. My brother and I decided to do things a bit 1.

    We each filled a backpack with clothes, shoes and other things and headed out to the 2. The first person we saw was a 15-16-year-old boy picking up 3 plastic bottles on the train platform (站台). We called him over and started up a(n) 4. We had a look at his 5 and noticed he had 6 fingernails (手指甲). We explained that it was 7 to keep short nails and then we 8 cutting them for him. When we were 9, we offered him some chocolate candies, which made him look at us 10. We talked to him some more and began 11 some of the chocolate ourselves. Finally, he 12 took the chocolate himself and then began telling us his 13.

    His name was Raju. After his mother died, his father remarried. Unable to 14 his stepmother (继母), Raju ran away from 15 and has been living on the streets for 3 years, collecting and 16 empty plastic bottles.

    When we met Raju, he wasn't wearing any 17. One quick look into our backpacks and we 18 what we were looking for-a pair of Nike shoes. When we dressed him in them-Raju's eyes were full of 19. "These shoes are so great. Nothing will hurt my 20.Thank you so much!" Touched by our actions, he joined us as we walked around and looked for those in need.
