Accept life as it is. I learned how to do it from my father. 1 , he did not teach me acceptance when he was strong and healthy, but rather when he was 2 and ill.

    My father was 3 a strong man who loved being active, but a terrible illness 4 all that away. Now he can no longer walk, and he must sit quietly in a chair all day.

Even talking is 5 . One night, I went to visit him with my sisters. We started 6 about life, and I told them about one of my 7 . I said that we must very often give things up 8 we grow — our youth, our beauty, our friends — but it always 9 that after we give something up, we gain something new in its place. Then suddenly my father 10 up. He said, “But, Peter, I gave up 11 ! What did I gain?” I thought and thought, but I couldn't think of anything to say. 12 , he answered his own question: “I 13 the love of my family,” I looked at my sisters and saw tears in their eyes, along with hope and thankfulness.

    I was also 14 by his words. After that, when I began to feel angry at someone, I 15 remember his words and become 16 . If he could 17 his great pain with a feeling of love for others, then I should be 18 to give up my small anger. In this 19 , I learned the power of acceptance from my father.

    Sometimes I 20 what other things I could have learned from him if I had listened more carefully when I was a boy. For now, though, I am ashamed(惭愧的) for this one word.

    It was Children's Day yesterday, we 1the park. Our teacher was 2us.

    3 many people there. Some Young Pioneers (少先队员)4 near the river.

    5 sang and danced. There were some6 on the river. There was a hill

    7. Some boys8 in the river. We sat under 9 apple tree with our teacher. We 10on Children's Day yesterday.

    A boy and a girl were playing together. The boy had a lot of small glass 1. The girl had some candies with her. The boy told the girl that he would2her all his balls in exchange for (交换) her candies. The girl thought that was a good3.

    But the boy didn't give4of his balls to the girl. He kept the biggest and the5ball in his pocket and gave the others to the girl. 6the girl gave him all her candies.

    That night, the girl had a 7sleep, but the boy didn't sleep well. He kept thinking whether the girl had 8some candies from him.

    You think in the way you do things. If you don' t give your hundred percent(百分之百) in a relationship, you'll 9 keep thinking if the other person has given his or her hundred percent. This is true for any relationship.

    Give your hundred percent to everything you do and you'll find that you can always10a lot of happiness.

    There was once a lonely girl 1 wanted love very much. One day while she was walking in the forests, she found two 2 birds. She took them home and put them in a small 3. She was happy to have two "friends". She 4 them with love and the birds grew strong. One day the girl 5 to leave the door of the cage open. The larger and the 6 of the two flew out of the cage. The girl was afraid that it 7away. She caught it quickly. She felt glad that she caught the bird before it could fly away. Suddenly she couldn't 8 a sound from the bird. When she opened her hand, the bird was already dead. Her 9 killed the bird! Then she noticed 10 bird jumping up and down 11 the cage. She could feel its great need for freedom. It wanted to fly into the clear, blue 12.So she lifted it from the cage and let it fly away highly. The bird circled once, twice, and three times. The girl 13 as the bird flew. She didn't care about 14 the bird any more, She wanted it to be happy. Suddenly the bird flew closer and landed softly on her shoulder. It sang the 15 song she had ever heard.

    The fastest way to lose love is to hold on it too tightly, and the best way to keep love is to give it wings.

    A woman is going shopping. She is going by boat. The boat is going across a river. Her basket is 1^. Oh, dear, look! Her basket is in the 2"Help!" she says. "Don't worry. I can 3 it.

It gets into the basket. The man is 8 in the river. "Where is the basket?" he calls. "It is over there!" answers the woman. "It's behind you. It is 9 that duck!" The man gets the basket.
