While l studied at school，I felt a great difficulty in leaning my Latin translations．I was always very   36  in using a dictionary，and    37   it most difficult，while to other boys it seemed   38  .

   I formed an alliance(盟友) with a boy in the Sixth Grade．He was very clever and  39   read Latin as easily as English．My friend for his part was almost as  40  troubled by the English essays he had to write for the headmaster as I was  41  these Latin words. We agreed together that he should   42   me my Latin translations and that I should do his essays. The arrangement                          43   wonderfully．The headmaster seemed quite   44   with my work，and I had more time to myself in the morning.On the othcr hand，once a week   45  I had to compose the essays Of my fnend．For several months no difficulty   46  ，but once we were near]y caught out．

    One afternoon，the headmaster   47  my friend tO discuss one essay with him in a lively spirit．“I was interested in this   48   you make here．I think you might have gone further．Tell me   49   you had in your mind." The headmaster continued in this   50   for some time to fear of my friend．However the headmaster，not wishing to   51   an occasion of praise into  52   of fault-finding，finally   53   him go．He came back to me like a man who had had a very narrow   54   and I made up my mind to make every effort tO study my   55  .

The year I went away to college was a very difficult transition（過渡期）for me.    21    is probably true with many people. I got quite homesick and    22    thought about going home.

Although the   23   time for many students is getting   24   from home, my mailbox was frequently   25  . One day when I went to the mailbox, there was a postcard   26   out at me. I sat down to read it,   27   a note from someone back home.   28   I became increasingly puzzled （困惑）as   29   postcards were like this; It was a full news report about a woman named Mabel and her newborn baby. I took the card back to my room and   30   about it.

Several days later I   31   another postcard, this one   32   news about Maybelline, Mabel’s

cousin. Soon after, another card arrived and then another,   33   full of news of different people. I began to   34   look forward to the next one,   35   to see what this author would come up with  36  . I was never   37  .

    Finally, the cards   38   coming, right about the time I had begun to feel   39   about college life. They had been such a happy distraction（調(diào)劑）that I have   40   all the postcards and still bring them out to read whenever I need a lift.

On a hot summer day in late August, I sought shade and a cool drink at a waterfront café on a Greek island. Over a hundred degrees in    36   air.  Crowded. Tempers（脾氣）of both the tourists and waiters had    37   to meet the situation, making it a rather quarrelsome environment（環(huán)境）

       At the table next to mine sat an attractive,    38    couple, waiting for    39  .  They held hands, whispered, kissed, and laughed. Suddenly they stood, picked up their    40    and stepped together     41    the edge of where they were sitting to place the table in the sea water. The man stepped   42   for the two chairs. He politely   43   his lady in the knee-deep water and then sat down himself. All people around laughed and cheered.

          44   appeared. He paused for just a second, walked into the water to   45    the table and take their  46   , and then walked back to the    47    cheers of the rest of his    48  . Minutes later he returned carrying a bottle of wine and two glasses. Without pausing, he went     49    into the water to     50     the wine. The couple toasted（祝酒）each other, the waiter and the crowd. And the crowd   51   by cheering and throwing flowers to them. Three other tables  52   to have lunch in the water. The place was now filled with laughter.

       One doesn’t step into water in one’s best summer clothes. Why not?

       Customers are not served    53    . Why not?

       Sometimes one should consider   54   the line of convention（常規(guī)）and enjoy   55   to the fullest.

 36  ,the record came closer and closer to four minutes and Roger Bannister, a young English    37   ,began to believe be might   38  this almost magic barrier.

Describring the   42  later,Bannister said,“On the way to the track the wind blew strongly. As I  43  for the start I glanced at the flag. It moved  44  now. This was the moment when I made my decision.”

“The gun fired. My legs  45  to meet no resistance, as if I was  46  forward by some unknown force. The noise from the faithful  47  gave me greater strength. I felt the  48  of a lifetimes had come.”

“I was driven on by a   49  of fear and pride. My body had long since used up all its energy   50  it went on running just the same. This was the critical moment when my legs were strong enough to carry me over the last few yards as they  51  could have done in previous years. When I leapt at（沖向）the    52  tape, I fell, almost    53  .

“I knew I had done it, even before I  54  the time. The announcement came. ‘Result of the one mile…Time, three minutes…’the test was  55 in the noise of excitement.”

When I was young, my parents ran a snack bar in our small town.

   One evening in early April, my mother told me to fill in at the snack bar   36   a worker who had the flu. I told her I would mess it up,   37   I had never worked at the bar before. I   38   that instead of making money, I would end up owing it.

   “You can do it,” said my mother, “  39  , you won’t get much business until lunch.”

   “But I’ll never remember the orders, and I’m no good   40   money. Please, Mom, don’t   41   me.

   “Then I’ll help you,” she said.

   I shrugged my shoulders. I thought my mother’s   42   was a bad one, but I   43  .

   When I got to the bar the next day, I found my mother was   44  . Because the weather that day was rainy and cold, people wanted hot snacks and drinks.   45  , I was really slow at taking the orders and making change. The line of people grew, and everybody seemed   46  , I was so nervous that my hands shook, and I   47   a cup into pieces. What a mess! Then my mother came to   48   me, and she also showed me how to make   49  . If someone gave me $ 5 for something that cost $ 3.25, I handed over

  50   quarters and a dollar and said, “75 cents makes four dollars, plus one dollar makes five.” Things went more   51   after that.

   By the end of the day, I could remember orders,   52   the bill, and make change quickly with a smile. I was even a little   53   when the sun came out and dried up business. My mother said she was proud of me, and when she   54   that I work at the snack bar again next year, I did not even shrug. I was too busy

Many years ago,I owned a service station and roadhouse on the main road between Melbourne and Adelaide.

One very cold,wet night at about 3:30 a.m.,there was a   41   on the front door of our house.A young man,wet from   42   to toe,explained that he had    43   out of petrol about 30 km up the road.He had left his pregnant(懷孕的) wife and his two children   44   at the car and siad that he would hitchhike(搭便車) back.

Once I had    45    a can with petrol,I took him back to his car where his two-year-old and four-year-old children were both    46   ,saying that they were cold.Once the car had started,I suggested that he    47   me back.

Before leaving,I had turned the heater   48   in the roadhouse,so that when we went in,it was nice and   49   .While the little ones played and ran   50   ,I prepared bread and butter for the children,and hot chocolate for the   51   .

It was about 5 a.m. before they    52   .The young fellow asked me how much he   53   me and I told him that the petrol pump(加油泵) had    54   $15.He offered to pay “call-out fee”,but I wouldn’t accept it.

About a month later,I received a   55    from Interstate,a large bus company that we had been trying to   56   to stop off at our roadhouse for a long time.It   57   out that the young fellow I had helped was its general manager,the most   58   person in the company.

In his letter,he thanked me again and    59   me that,from then on,all their buses would stop at my service station.In this   60   ,a little bit of kindness was rewarded with a huge amount of benefits.

I grew up in a tiny Baltimore row house in a faraway mountain area. My parents    36    the necessities of life    37    they couldn’t give much more. If I asked my father    38    a pair of jeans, he would say, “If you want them, make the money and buy them    39   .” He wasn’t being mean; he just couldn’t    40    them. From age 12 on, I did part-time jobs after school.

       When I    41    from high school, I joined the navy. Soon I was in a boot camp(新兵訓(xùn)練營(yíng)) at Parris Island, S. C., where I learned that life in the navy centered around completing daily

   42   . These could be anything from cleaning the camp to conducting mock(模擬的) battles. Completing these tasks successfully    43    discipline, team-work and responsibility. It didn’t

   44    whether you were black, white or Asian; everyone worked together for the    45   of the company.

I went    46    to graduate from the U.S. Naval Academy and later became an officer in the navy. The part of my job I    47    most was the comseling(咨詢) meeting I    48     with the family members of the men and women in my    49   , trying to help them deal with the long periods of    50   . These proved popular and word of them spread.   51    I was being asked to give encouraging    52    to business groups, educators and keds across the country.

But I consider the boot camp my first real    53   , and my life is still guided by the

   54    lessons I hearned there. It taught me discipline, friendship and the pride related to setting a task every day and working hard to    55    it.
