Gary and Gavin were twin brothers who worked in a store owned by their father. After the father had passed away, they took over the store. Everything went well until the day a twenty-dollar bill disappeared. Gary had left the bill on the cash register (收银台). But when he returned, the money was gone.

    Gary then asked his brother Gavin, "Did you see that twenty-dollar bill on the cash register?' Gavin said that he had not. But Gary did not let it go and kept asking. "Twenty-dollar bills can't walk away by themselves! Surely you must have seen it." "I said I didn't see it!" Gavin replied with anger.

   The quarrel divided the young men and they could no longer work together. Later, a wall was built in the center of the store. For twenty years, hostility (敌意) never ended.

    One day, a strange man came to the store. He walked in and asked Gary, "How long have you been here?" Gary replied that he'd been there all his life. "Then you are the person I'm looking for," the man said. "Twenty years ago, I was totally broke and hungry. I entered this store from the back door and saw a twenty-dollar bill on the cash register. And I took it. All these years I haven't been able to forget that. I had to come back and apologize for that.

    The stranger felt shocked when seeing tears well up in the eyes of the middle-aged man in front of him. "Would you please go next door and tell the same story to the man in the store?" Gary asked. Then something surprised the stranger even more--after hearing his story, the two middle-aged men hugged each other and cried together in the front of the wall of the store.

    After twenty years, the wall that separated them finally came down.

One of  my favorite high school teachers was Mrs.Ide. She was my 1 teacher and the leader of our choir(合唱团).It was Mrs.Ide who asked me to 2 the school choir. Mrs.Ide was a great teacher, because she believed in all of us and wag a musical 3

Mrs. Ide always had 4 topics for her music class.She had ideas to make them fun every time.We worked in groups in class.We studied for musicals (歌剧) and everyone of us had a part to act and sing When we5 studying  our  parts,we  had  a"creative  evening",where  all  our  families,friends  and teachers came and watched our play.

Mrs.Ide believed in our musical talents.She taught us to be self-confident with our voices and how to use different skills to6  our singing.She told us every week that we all had great talent,and it felt really good that she had such confidence in our musical 7

I can say that Mrs.Ide was the best teacher and she  8 cared about us.She helped everyone in her class to be more 9 Also she taught us skills,so that we were able to train at home alone.She was the person who 10 me to study singing.I really hope that there are other teachers like her,who are an inspiration   (鼓舞人的人) for students and their future.

During the Tang Dynasty (618-907), Emperor Taizong asked the prime minister Feng Deyi to recommend（推荐） talented people.

 1 , several months passed, Feng didn't recommend anyone. "I tried my best, but there are not unusual and 2 people at all, " Feng said.

"People are like utensils (器具). What we need to do is to make good use of their strengths. You cannot excuse yourself for not noticing talented people. How could you say that there are no talented people in our country?" said the emperor.

Indeed, each utensil or tool has its use. A knife is made to cut things while chopsticks are made to 3 food. We can't use a knife as a 4 . Like a utensil, each person has special strength. Nobody is perfect. We can't expect a person to be good at everything.

With this idea in 5 , Emperor Taizong discovered many talented people of different backgrounds. He 6 them important positions, which helped them make the best use of their talents. His talented people helped the society 7 and created a "golden age".

Some people say if a person is talented 8 , we should give them a chance. The same idea can be found in The Analects of Confucius (《论语》). Treating people as utensils shows that we can not only lead people well, but also allow different kinds of people to work well.

Today, the idea still makes 9 . If we become leaders someday, we should help others give full play to their strengths. 10 , Liu Bang let Zhang Liang and Xiao He work as advisors for their wisdom while inviting Han Xin to lead the army for his war strategies. Known as the "three heroes of the early Han Dynasty", they helped Liu build strong dynasty.
