Carl Kenton is a wealthy businessman. Five years ago, after returning from abroad to his motherland, he 1 his small company. Speaking of success, Glen often tells us a story about his 2 expensive “school” fee. He always owes his success to it.

    At that time, Glen, who already got a PhD degree, decided to return to the homeland, starting a company. Before 3 , he bought a Rolex watch with the 4 made through years of work after school and the scholarships. At the airport he had to accept the routine customs check. The watch on his wrist was also demanded to be 5 down for inspection. Glen knew that carrying the 6 goods out had to pay the tax and he worried about paying 7 for his watch. So when he was checked, he told a lie that his watch was a 8 fake (假货). When he was 9 of his “smarts”, immediately, 10 the presence of Glen, the officers hit the watch, which 11 nearly 100,000, into pieces at hearing Glen's words. Glen was 12. Before he understood why, he was taken to the office to be examined 13. For many times of entry-exit 14, he knew that only those people in the “blacklist” would “enjoy” this special treatment. The officers looked over everything carefully in the box and 15 him no matter what time of entry and exit he must accept the check and if 16 reusing and carrying fake and shoddy goods, he would be charged according to law! Suddenly, his face turned red, and he had nothing in mind after 17 the plane for long.

    After returning to the homeland, he often told the story to his family and his employees, too. He said that this made a deep 18 on him because the additional high “school” fee that he had ever paid made him realize the value of 19, which he would 20 as the secret of his success forever.

    Millionaire Peter became blind because of an illness. The doctor told him that only by having a Cornea transplant surgery (眼角膜移植手术)could he1 his sight. Peter offered a large amount of money for the cornea, but he didn't get any2 .

    Because Peter was too3of his" wealth" and had done many unkind things, he had a bad 4.So as soon as donors(捐赠者)heard his name, all of them5.

    At first Peter got angry easily because of his wealth, but later, he had no6but to wait quietly.

    One day, Peter felt his way to the little7before the hospital. He raised his head to enjoy the sunshine.8, he saw nothing but darkness. Just then, someone9him all of a sudden. Peter became10, so he cried, "Don't you have eyes? Don't you see who you hit? I'm millionaire Peter!"

    The answer was from a 11,"Sorry, sir. Please forgive me! " Peter then said, "I can forgive you, but you must12with me!" The boy said yes. Peter nodded13and his face lit up with a smile.

    Peter asked," Is the scene here beautiful? "The boy began14 it," How beautiful! The green grass, the blue sky, and the beautiful flowers everywhere....."

    Peter began to15that boy as he was listening.16he became impatient, shouting toward the sky," Oh, my God, the little boy is so17, nothing but a pair of eyes! Why do you give him light?”

    At this moment, a lady interrupted Peter," You are18! My son is too poor to have eyes. What he just described is what I told him! "19, Peter sat on the square, tears running down his face.

    Since then, the city charity would 20a large amount of money every year. The donor was the very millionaire named Peter.

    I was about to get on a plane after a trip. Honestly speaking, the trip was very 1 and exhausting. To make things worse, I had a middle seat in Zone 5, where they 2 the baggage because there wasn't much room in the overhead bins (行李架).

    I had to ask the flight attendant if I could 3 my seat. Trying to be 4, she asked if I was willing to sit in an exit row. "Yes, sure!" I 5 responded, full of hope. But a moment later, she told me that row might not be 6. I could only accept the reality.

    Suddenly I heard her offer two seats in the exit row 7 a young couple next to me. I was filled with 8 that I was ready to get up and 9 with her. I wondered how she could 10 me and then go to help others. I was about to shout at her, 11 my good sense won. For that belief moment, I tried to comfort myself. "If you are impatient, you'll make a 12 of yourself." Then though I was still annoyed, I managed to 13.

    With about 5 minutes to board, when I was worried about how to keep my 14, the attendant handed a new ticket to me. "Is this for the 15 seat?" I asked. "No, it isn't," she responded. "Once in a while I'm able to do this and I'm glad it has 16 this time." glanced down—business class, Seat 2F—no charge! I was very 17 for that and I felt relived that I had 18 my anger. I do know even if I shouted at the attendant, she would 19 try hard to help me, because she seemed very responsible. Now I realize that it is always important to show 20 and understanding for others in life.

    A wise man was passing through a city. While he was walking, he 1 a coin on the road. He picked it up. Despite his 2 life, he was satisfied and he had no use of that coin. So, he planned to 3 it. 4, throughout the day he didn't find such a person. Finally, he reached the 5 area and spent a night there.

    Next morning, he 6 up and was told that a king was going for his invasion of another state with his army. When the king saw the wise man, he 7 his army to stop. He came to the wise man and said, "I am going to beat another 8. Thus, my state can be 9. So 10 me to be victorious".

    After 11, the wise man gave the coin to the king! The king was confused with this because he is already one of the 12 kings! He 13 asked, "What's the meaning?"

    The wise man explained, "I found this coin yesterday in your 14. But I had no 15. So I had 16 that I would donate it. I walked around till the evening, but found no one such. "

    "Everyone was living a 17 life. It seemed that they were satisfied with what they had. But today, the king of this state, still has the desire to 18 more and is not satisfied with what he already has. I feel you are 19 this coin."

    The king realized his 20 and gave up the planned war.

    Four brothers left home for college, and they became successful doctors and lawyers.

    Some years later, they got together again. While having dinner, they1for a long time. They discussed the2they had given their elderly mother who lived far away in another city. The first said, "I had a3house built for Mama." The second said, "I had my Mercedes-Benz dealer (奔驰经销商) send a4to her." The third said, "I built a beautiful 5for Mama." The fourth said, "You know6Mama loved reading poems and you know she can't read any more because she can't 7very well. I met a businessman who had a parrot that can recite many8. It took him 12 years to9it to speak and he earns his living by renting it out. I had to pay him $100,000 a year for twenty years,10it is worth it." On hearing that, the other brothers were11by his good thought.

    After the holidays, their mother12 her thank -you notes, which read，"Milton, the house you built is so huge. I only live in one room, but I have to clean the whole house. It's a (an)13job. Thanks anyway." "Marvin, I am too old to14.I stay home and have others work for me, so I'll15 use the car. The 16was good, although not realistic. Thanks."

    "Michael, you gave me an expensive building for many people to17plays or I watch movies in it, but all my friends are dead. I've almost18my hearing and I'm nearly blind. I won't use it. Thank you all the same.

    "Dearest Melvin, you are the19 son to have the good sense to give a little thought to your gift. The chicken tasted so20. I liked it very much. Thank you."

    I was touched so much. A while back, my three-year-old son and I settled back for his goodnight1. We lay down in his little bed and he said, "Daddy, when I get big can I live with you?" I assured him he could live with me2he wanted to.

    A moment later he said, "When you die you're going to feel3on your face and it will be me touching you." Then he4,"I will kiss you." He moved over, kissed me. I was aware of tears suddenly welling up in my eyes. I didn't want to explain5I was crying; as I opened my eyes to look at him, he was already6.

    I spent some time looking at him,7the minute and wondering about the depth of the8I'd had. It occurred to me that I didn't remember having much of this kind of9time with my father, and that this was a time that would be10short-lived. This time of11that forms a three-year-old's life, would soon be12. What will remain, however, will be the13of this short while reoccurring in my mind non-stop. It made all of the difficult14of being a father worthwhile.

    Sometimes, being a committed (承担义务的) father can feel like you're15the doorkeeper, driver, and16in the house. Then you will have "a17", one like this in which your child expresses18, pure, and unconditional love for you.

    When your kids have19home and you look back at these years, all of these will be strung (绑) together to20the memories of their lives with you.
