Most people{#blank#}1{#/blank#}get a text message from a wrong number either let the person know{#blank#}2{#/blank#}just ignore it—but this wrong text was one that the receiver felt he had to answer.

    When Mark and Lindsey Lashley had their baby boy,Cason Knox,one of their{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(relative) sent a group text message to let a few{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(friend) know about the birth—but it turned out that one of the phone numbers no longer belonged to someone they knew.Dennis Williams,the new{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(own) of the phone number,responded to the{#blank#}6{#/blank#} (excite) baby news,“{#blank#}7{#/blank#} (congratulate),but I think someone got the wrong number.”

    When everyone else in the group text message realized what was going on,they laughed and apologized to this kind stranger for getting him caught up in the baby birthing news,but Williams ended up{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(surprise) everyone. “What's the room number...we have gifts,”Williams's follow-up text read—and the best pan is that he{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(actual) showed up at the hospital to welcome Cason.And they talked about turning{#blank#}10{#/blank#}embarrassing situation into a sweet one!

    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!

Say thank you for simple things

    {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(communicate) with others with appreciation is an important form of good manners. Everyone feels really happy when others show their appreciation {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (generous). Appreciation always has {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(power) strength, which may let others smile and make the world more beautiful. For example, you just need several minutes to write down a thank-you note after you have a quarrel with one of your {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (colleague), and it will for sure bring much joy to the receiver. Try to write a thank-you letter to your parents for working hard to provide you {#blank#}5{#/blank#} a happy life. {#blank#}6{#/blank#} you always say thanks to your friends who shared both your happiness and sadness, it will bring them much joy and add color into your own life as well.

    We won't live happily {#blank#}7{#/blank#}we really enjoy the different services of others {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (surround) us everyday. But none of them should be taken for granted. We need to raise our{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(conscious) of expressing appreciation to others. Up to now more and more people in China have found it's high time to cultivate(培养) a thankful heart for the good others do. You can rely on {#blank#}10{#/blank#} that the world will become wonderful if everyone realize the importance of appreciation.

    A lot of films have tried to describe the afterlife and our memories of family members, {#blank#}1{#/blank#} few have done as well as Coco, Disney Pixar's {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (late) masterpiece animation, which hit the big screen on Nov. 24, 2017.

    {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (inspire) by the Mexican holiday of Dia de los Muertos — Day of the Dead — the film's production team created a young boy, Miguel, who wants his family to understand his love of music. {#blank#}4{#/blank#} that year's Dia de los Muertos, {#blank#}5{#/blank#} accident takes him to the Land of the Dead. In this land, there are friendly skeletons who can cross a bridge made of flower petals to visit their living family — that is, as long as their family still puts their photos on the family shrine (神龛). Those spirits who {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (forget) by their family will disappear completely. So it's in this magical world {#blank#}7{#/blank#} Miguel gets to meet and discover the truth about his great-great-grandpa.

    In an era {#blank#}8{#/blank#} young people are so {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (easy) attracted by celebrities, Coco reveals the emptiness of such flattery, teaching kids to preserve and respect the memory of their elders while {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (remind) them that the source of true creativity is so often personal.
