    As I walked down the hall on the last day of the school year, I watched wide-eyed as my fellow students 1their drawers into the dustbins in front of the hall. Paper flew in all directions; broken shelves were 2 everywhere.

    Suddenly, I came up with an idea: my school really needed a 3 programme. I believed that one person could make a 4so I wrote out my recycling5 As I told the schoolmaster about my 6 my heart was beating wildly.

    With her agreement and encouragement, I would 7 cardboard boxes in the library, offices and classrooms to 8 papers, magazines and newspapers.

    That night, I designed a dozen 9and planned to arrive at school early to stick them up and hand out 10to classrooms on Monday. But when I arrived, I was very disappointed－the night-watchman had 11down all of the cardboard boxes I had saved. I was so upset. I began searching for other boxes, but I met with 12 success.

    A few days later,13 my English teacher took me into the new computer lab, and before my eyes sat a 14of cardboard boxes. I am sure I was the 15 person in the world when I saw these boxes. These were the boxes that the new computers had arrived in, and they were the16size.

    I rolled my recycling rubbish bins to the dining room, stuck up my posters, and17made an announcement18 the loudspeaker, letting the whole school know they now had a(n)19 about what would happen to their unwanted papers, cans and bottles.

    Since that day, recycling has become part of everyday life at my school. Students and teachers now take active 20 to save trees and other natural resources.

When I was a young man I had much ego (自负). I thought I 1 everything. I looked forward to fame and success. I can even remember once in college2 telling one of my friends: “If only everyone listened to me, then they would all be happy.” I 3 left school, ready to take on the world. Little did I know the world was about to take on me.

    In the 4following college, instead of success, I found struggles. I had 5 in finding work. My jobs were either temporary or were 6 badly. When my wife and I had children, we were 7 to learn that both of our sons had Autism (自闭症) and would need to be 8 for the rest of their lives. I had no 9why this had happened to us.

    In time, however, I began to 10. My ego was decreasing fast. Instead of success, I found my 11 in moments of love. Playing and 12 with my sons brought me so much happiness. My boys 13me more about peace, patience, joy and love than I could have ever learned on my own. I began to share the 14I learned through my writings and my life. I finally realized that my 15 in this world had nothing to do with fame or success.16 it had everything to do with allowing love and light into my life and 17 it with everyone I could.

    You may not be happy 100% of the time18 can be in this world. Yet, you will find a joy no earthly (世俗的)19 could ever give. Put all of your moments, days, and years to good use then20 them with love.

Guy Harvold, 24, had2 the students and three course leaders from Gatwick airport, and they were travelling to Bournemouth to3 their host families. They were going to 4a course at the ABC Language School in Bournemouth where Harvold works as a teacher.

    Harvold, who has not 5his driving test, said, I was speaking to the students6I realized the bus was out of control.

    The head of the language school told the local newspaper that the school is going to send Harvold on a weekend18 to Dublin with a friend, thanking him for his19.A local driving school has also offered him six 20driving lessons.

    William Weaver was one of 14 black students integrating(使融合进入) the all—white West High School. A teacher told him that he “didn't belong.” He had a test and the teacher 1 him and then just took the paper away and said, “ 2 is up.” The first report card he got was 3 F's. So he started to think maybe he didn't belong and that he was 4 .

    One evening he was at home and Edward Hill, his science teacher from the 5 school, came by to visit. Weaver told Mr Hill that the white school were trying to 6 him away. Mr Hill asked Weaver to come to his old school after 7 . So every day waiting for him would be Mr. Hill with other teachers and they 8 him. Once he got past those F's, he stopped 9 himself. But no matter what he did, he was never 10 at that school. Weaver never had a 11 with a counselor(辅导员)about going to college. But, to his 12 , he got a letter telling him he had been awarded a scholarship. Weaver 13 it and went on to 14 Howard University.

    Many years 15 , Weaver came across Mr Hill and told him, “Mr Hill, if I had not gotten that 16 , I don't know what would have happened. And I don't know 17 I got the scholarship because I never even applied for it.” Mr Hill said, “I know, because I filled in the 18 and sent it off for you.” So Mr Hill stepped 19 and changed his life, 20 at that time Weaver didn't realize how much he was being helped.

    When I was a kid, Dad and I would go for long walks together. Sometimes we'd spy 1along the way-a penny here, a dime there. 2 I picked up a penny, he would ask, “Is it a wheat?" It always thrilled him when we found one of those 3 coins produced from 1909 to 1958, the year of my birth. On one of these walks, he told me he often 4 of finding coins. I was amazed. "I always have that dream too!" I told him. It was our secret connection.

    One gray winter day in 2002, not long after his 5, I was walking down Fifth Avenue, feeling 6 and lonely, and I suddenly found myself in front of a church, where Dad had been working there, but I hadn't 7 for a long time. When I walked into it, I heard the hymn (赞美诗) was A Mighty Fortress is Our God.

    That's Dad's 8, one we'd sung at his funeral. Hearing this again, I burst into 9. After the service, I stepped onto the sidewalk--and there was a penny. I 10 to pick it up and turned it over, and 11 enough, it was a wheat!

    That started it. Suddenly wheat pennies began 12 on the sidewalks of New York everywhere. I got most of the 13 years: his birth year, the year he graduated from college, the year he 14 my mom, the year they got married…

    One Sunday, when I was walking up Fifth Avenue, I 15 a penny in the middle of a crossing. It was a 16 street; taxis were speeding by--should I 17 it? I just had to get it. A wheat! But the penny was 18, and I couldn't read the date. When I took out my magnifying glass lo see it clearly, there was my birthday. As a journalist, I'm in a profession where doubting is a necessary 19. But I found 21 wheat pennies in the year after my father died, and I don't think that's a(n) 20.
