Mr Jackson began his trip last Saturday. Two days later when he was travelling in the country 1 , he saw a dog behind a man. As the car came near them, the dog suddenly started to2 the road. Of course the car hit the poor animal and killed it.

    Mr Jackson 3his car and walked to the man. "I'm very 4 that this happened," he said. "How much shall l 5? Will ten dollars be enough?"

    "Oh, yes," said the man, "ten dollars will be 6 enough." Mr Jackson put his hand into his pocket, but he only 7 five dollars in the pocket. "Sorry, sir, I've only8five dollars," said Mr Jackson.

    "No problem. That's enough," the fat man replied. "Thanks a lot. That's very kind of you." Mr Jackson thanked the fat man and 9 away.

    When the car went away, the fat mart looked down at the dog and thought, "I want to know 10 dog it is."

    It was the end-of-the-year party at school. I had asked my mother to1us cookies. Mum's chocolate chips were the best.

    But two o'clock passed, and she didn't 2. Most of the other mothers had come and gone, dropping off their cookies, chips and cupcakes. I took my bag and left for 3 The house was empty when I arrived. My heart was 4anger. For the first time in my life, my mother had let me down.

    I was lying on my bed upstairs when I heard her 5 the front door. "Robbie." she called out.

    "Where are you? "I could hear her running from room to room. She was looking for me. I kept silent. When she entered my room and sat beside me on my bed, I didn't move." I'm so sorry, honey," she said." I got busy and forgot." I still kept 6.

    Then my mother began to laugh. I couldn't believe7. I rolled over and faced her.

    But my mother wasn't laughing at all. She was crying, "I'm so sorry. I let my boy down."

    She cried like a little girl. I had never8my mother cry.

    "It's OK, Mum." I reached out and stroked her hair. "We didn't even need those9. There was plenty of stuff to eat. Don't cry. It's all right."

    My10made my mother sit up. She pulled me to her. We didn't say another word. We just held each other in a long hug.

    When I was in middle school, I felt I was always letting people down. Once I brought my 1 Daisy to my home. I noticed that all my family members seemed to 2 Daisy better than me.

    I felt very 3. I even thought they didn't love me. I wondered whether they would miss me if I died some day. 4 I told my mum, "Daisy is more patient than I have ever been. You must want her to be your daughter instead of me."

    My mum explained that Daisy was a lovely girl, but 5 could replace (代替) me in the family. She said I was the only person who could fill my role. She made me realize that even if I made 6, I was a beloved member of the family who could never be replaced.

    From then on, I tried to 7 out who I was and what made me special. I look at 8 in a new way. Then I started to be positive (积极的) towards my life, and I was happy about who I 9 was. I came to feel much better as I knew that no one could ever replace me.

    Each of us holds a special place in the world. You are special, no matter what others say or what you may think. So 10 that you will be replaced. You can't be.

    When I was a junior high school student in 1980, God gave me a gift. It was happiness.

    One weekend, I went to visit my grandparents in the countryside. On my way home a car ran me over and cut off my arms because of its high speed.

    Several days later when I woke up in the hospital, I realized I had to spend the rest of my life1arms. How sad I felt at that time！Even I was full of fears.2 slowly I knew I had to face the fact and got over it. I couldn't get my arms back even though I 3 every day.

    However, it's easier said than done. It took me nearly half a year to get out of the sadness4. I got so much from my past story. From then on, I could treat my life with a5mind. But in our daily life, I often see my classmates get6about little things: They get a bad grade on a test; their bus comes7; they don't have a mobile phone but 8 have, and so on. But I only enjoy life. I was lucky to realize from an accident: It is a waste of our life to focus on what you have 9. We should always think of what we have. So why are so many people unhappy？Someone may say, "My whole life would improve 10I have a new car." But when you get the car, what will happen？For a whole week you are walking on air. Then you go right back to being unhappy.

    Happiness depends on what we have！It's in our heart. It's a state of mind. Even though you own the whole world, you may still feel unhappy. Happiness comes from mastering the art of appreciating(感激)and taking pleasure in what you really have.
