One day, a poor boy who was trying to pay his tuition for school by selling goods door to door found that he only had one dollar {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (leave). He was hungry so he decided to beg for a meal at the next house.

    However, he suddenly felt very {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (shame) when a lovely young woman opened the door. Instead of a meal he asked for a drink of water. She thought he looked hungry so she brought him {#blank#}3{#/blank#} large glass of milk. He drank it hurriedly, and then asked, “How much do I owe you?”

 “You don't owe me anything,” she replied, {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (smile). “Mother {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (teach) me never to accept pay for a kindness since my childhood, as it is pleasant enough to {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (simple) help someone!” He said, “Then I thank you from the bottom of my heart.”{#blank#}7{#/blank#} these words, he left that house, not only feeling stronger physically, but also {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (have) more faith in the human race. He was about to give up and quit before this point. It was this glass of milk {#blank#}9{#/blank#} filled him with warmth to go on. Years later, he made {#blank#}10{#/blank#} as a famous physician, but he never forgot that young woman and her kindness.

    As an old English saying goes, “honesty is the best policy”. It is more than an old cliché（陈词滥调）, but {#blank#}1{#/blank#} good way to live your life.

    First, honesty is the {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(easy) choice that we can make. When people get caught in lies, it always costs them something. Many relationships are destroyed by lies.

    Second, honesty gives us much{#blank#}3{#/blank#} (free). Many people believe that being honest limits them in life, but that is not true. Sooner or later those dishonest people {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (pay) a price for their acts; on the contrary, when we are honest, we are {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (true) free.

    If there were two people {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (stand) before you, a person with a record of being honest and a person{#blank#}7{#/blank#}is known to be dishonest, who would you be more likely {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (believe)? I'm sure most people would side with the honest person.{#blank#}9{#/blank#}we live in the truth or we live in lies. Truth sets us free and lies leave us in nothing but more troubles. Honesty is a choice that we make each day. The choice is{#blank#}10{#/blank#} (you). What will you choose?

Wayward Penguin(企鹅)Released South of New Zealand

    He needed a little push before speeding backward down a slide. Once in the water, he held his head up for one last look. And then he was gone. The wayward emperor penguin {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (know) as “Happy Feet” was back home in Antarctic waters after a temporary stay in New Zealand.

    Happy Feet was released into the ocean south of New Zealand on Sunday, more than two months after he came ashore on a beach nearly 2,000 miles from home and became an instant celebrity. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (speak) from a satellite phone, Wellington Zoo veterinarian Lisa Argilla said Happy Feet's release went remarkably smoothly. Argilla said crew members from the boat carried the penguin inside his box to the rear part of the ship for his final send-off.

    {#blank#}3{#/blank#} when they opened the door of the box, the penguin showed no interest in leaving.

    “I needed to give him a little tap on his back,” Argilla said.

    The penguin slipped down the slide on his stomach, bottom first, she said. He resurfaced about 6 feet from the boat, {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (take) a look up at the people aboard, and then disappeared beneath the surface.

    “I was really happy to see him go,” Argilla said. “The best part of my job is when you get to release animals back into the wild {#blank#}5{#/blank#} they are supposed to be.”

    The 3-foot-tall bird was found on June 20 on Peka Peka Beach, about 40 miles northwest of New Zealand's capital, Wellington. It has been 44 years {#blank#}6{#/blank#} an emperor penguin was last spotted in the wild in New Zealand.

    At first, conservation authorities said they would wait and let nature take its course with the penguin. But it soon became clear the bird's condition was growing {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (bad), as he swallowed sand and, likely mistaking it for snow.

    {#blank#}8{#/blank#} the world watching, authorities finally took action, moving the penguin to the Wellington Zoo four days after he was discovered. It was at the zoo {#blank#}9{#/blank#} the bird was given a home in a room filled with a bed of ice so he wouldn't overheat.

    Now that Happy Feet {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (nurse) back to health, his chances are as good as they are for any other penguin in the wild.

    “He swam away, not caring about us anymore,” Argilla said.

She paused.

    “And that is a good thing,” she said.

    In his book, Intentional Living, author John Maxwell shares that back in 1976, he received a gift from one of his{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(assist).As he unwrapped the gift, he saw that it was a book{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(name) The Greatest Story Ever Told. He couldn't wait{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(read) it.

    But when he opened the book, he was{#blank#}4{#/blank#}astonish) to see that the pages were blank. Inside the book was{#blank#}5{#/blank#}note that said, "John, your life is before you. Fill these pages with kind acts and good thoughts of your heart. Write a great story about your life." The intention of writing the story of his life{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(excite) him. Then, he began to write his book.

    Every day we live out our story through our words, actions and decisions. But we must remember to live with intention to focus{#blank#}7{#/blank#}what matters most in life and to regain that focus when we get changed. Without intention, we can become unfocused in things{#blank#}8{#/blank#}needn't add to a life of significance and difference in our world.

    Life isn't perfect and it's always hard, {#blank#}9{#/blank#}we need reminders in our life from a friend, author, blogger, pastor or our inner spirit to re-focus us on the things that matter and make us live{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(positive).
