I'm not much of a crier most of the time. But {#blank#}1{#/blank#} when I was reading a book on a plane, I started crying. Of course, it came as a big surprise when tears came up, no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't {#blank#}2{#/blank#} myself.

    Oh no, not this now. I thought to myself. But even as the thought entered my brain. I felt the {#blank#}3{#/blank#} hot drop of salty water coming down my face. I put my head down, hoping that I could go on reading.

    In fact, the harder I tried, the more tears pushed their way out of my eyes. You could guess how surprised the man next to me looked.

    My head {#blank#}4{#/blank#} in shame. He must think I was crazy. Maybe I could turn towards him, hold up the cover of the book and say in my crying voice. "I'm sorry, sir. It's just a really good book!" But I didn't, say anything. Instead, I just put my head back against the {#blank#}5{#/blank#} and let the tears run. Do you know what decision I made while I was crying? My decision was that it was OK if he thought I was crazy. I preferred to be crazy instead of being the kind of person who wouldn't cry when the situation called for it, or who wouldn't let {#blank#}6{#/blank#} feel anything at all.

    I've been that girl who has spent so much time trying to make sure people didn't think f was crazy. But now I don't want to be that girl any more —that bored and {#blank#}7{#/blank#} girl. I'd rather {#blank#}8{#/blank#} this girl who is able to forgive (原谅), love and act, even if it means being disappointed or being hurt again and again.

I was walking along a busy road when I noticed a young man standing near the crossing selling toys.1I would hurry past such sellers. But I found this young man was 2, so I stood for some time without crossing the street. I wanted to see how he sold his things.

Soon, a young mother with a little girl came by and the child set 3 eyes on one of the teddy bears. The mother asked the 4 and it was only one dollar. She 5 out a 10­dollar note from her handbag and told the young man that she was giving him 10 dollars and wanted the 6 back. I was wondering how he was going to do it. He told the young mother to put the money in the bag 7 around his neck and take out her change.

I realized that this young man depended on believing people would not cheat him. There was no way for him to know 8 someone took out more than they should have done. I was so 9. I bought a car model from him that I did not need. As I walked down the street, I gave the car model to a kid walking with his father.

I kept thinking that the world would be a better place if we could all learn to 10others more, like the young blind street seller.

Do you believe that we can have an important influence on anyone we meet？The right words at just the right time could1 someone's life. 

When I was 3 years old，my parents found I was2 . After asking many doctors and parents of other deaf children，they decided not to put me in a special school. Although I seemed outgoing（外向的）my self﹣esteem（自尊心）was quite low. On my first day at school，the other kids3 me because of my hearing aid and the way I talked. I was hurt deeply and I saw myself as a（n）4 kid. 

Mrs. Green，my5 ，changed all of that with a simple three﹣word phrase. One morning，she asked the class a question. Sitting at my desk silently，I6 her tips（哦唇） and raised my hand right away. She called on me in front of the blackboard. I took a deep breath and7 answered Mrs. Green's question. 

I will8 forget what happened next. Mrs. Green pointed directly at me. With sparkling（闪光的）eye sand a big smile she cried： "That's right，Ben!"

For the first time in my young life，my confidence rose. At that moment，I decided that no matter how many9 I may face，I can overcome（克服）them. Thanks to those three10 words，my whole life changed from that moment. 

One autumn afternoon, Maddie was moving her towel at the window."I wish I didn't have to wash these windows," she said 1 ."I think washing windows is the worst housework in the world."

As she washed her towel into the buckets (水桶) again, Maddie saw Mr. Smith, her 2 . standing in his front yard (院子) next door. He looked so 3 .

" Mr. Smith," Maddie called," How are you?"

" Well, Maddie, but I have to rake(用耙子耙) these leaves (叶子)," Mr. Smith said." Raking is the 4 housework for me."

"I' ll ra ke them for you," Maddie said happily."I5 building piles(堆) of fallen yello w leaves."

" You would do that for me, Maddie?" Mr. Smith asked.

" Sure," Maddie answered."I'd be glad to 6 . I' ll finish washing my windows later."

" Thank you," Mr. Smith said, handing Maddie the rake."I really 7 the help." Then he went away.

Maddie raked and finally got all of her small leaves together into one high mountain." It's time to wash my 8 ." she thought. But when she reached her yard, she 9 .

Tom, her neighbor, was standing there, facing the living room window." What is Tom doing?" she thought.

" He's 10 the windows!" she suddenly realized.

" Tom, why are you washing 11 windows?" Maddie asked.

Hearing Maddie's loud voice, Tom was 12 . He turned around and said," Oh, after I came back, I saw Mr. Smith washing my clothes in my yard. I asked him what I could do for him. Then he remembered you didn't finish cleaning your windows 13 you were raking his leaves."

" And I", Tom said," love to wash windows,"

Maddie laughed."I guess there's 14 for everyone," she said." Thank you for doing my windows, Tom. The housework chain(联手) is really 15 !"

As students, what do you usually do in your life? {#blank#}1{#/blank#}Luckily, here is some advice for you to make it easy. {#blank#}2{#/blank#}

Most middle school students have two or three hours of homework every day. It is a good idea to make some kinds of homework plans(计划), especially(尤其) if you want to do sports or other activities after school. 

{#blank#}3{#/blank#}

A bedroom, study or any quiet place is good for you to do your homework. But don't study on your comfortable bed, or you might fall asleep there. 

{#blank#}4{#/blank#}

It's not good for students to study for long, so have some rest and you can learn better. 

{#blank#}5{#/blank#}

Sometimes you study so hard, but some subjects are still too difficult. You can ask teachers and classmates for help.
