It Seemed Like a Good Idea at the Time

I really only meant it as a joke.   I wasn't trying to steal anything honestly.

My friend Matthew started bringing his new cell phone to class last week. He was walking around bragging (吹噓) about it to everyone. He was saying, "My cell phone can download (下載) the newest 41 off the internet. "Then he 42 everyone by downloading a game and starting to play it. The pictures and sound were really 43 .

44 class, he would use his cell phone to watch TV. The rest of us didn't have a phone like 45 , so we had to crowd around him. I was just trying to see the screen, 46 there were so many other kids that I could not see it clearly. I was getting really jealous (嫉妒).

But then yesterday, he forgot his cell phone at the end of class. He left it right on his desk. 47 noticed it was there except me. I decided to teach him a lesson. I took his phone quietly off the desk, and put it in my own bag. My 48 was to give it back to him the next day. I 49 wanted to see his reaction (反應(yīng)). Maybe he would stop being such a show-off.

But this morning he rushed into class, screaming and yelling (吼叫). He was very 50 and almost mad. He started accusing (指責(zé)) different people of 51 his phone, but I had it in my 52 the whole time. He even started fighting with another classmate 53 Matthew was sure that person had taken it. The teacher sent them to the headmaster's office. They 54 got in a lot of trouble. Now I don't know what to 55 ! If I tell him that I took the cell phone, he'll think I stole it. If I don't tell him, then I really did steal it. How did I get into such a trouble?

There was a blind girl who hated herself because she was blind. In fact, she 41 nobody except her boyfriend, for he was always 42 to help her. She used to tell her boyfriend, “If I could see the 43 , I would marry you. ”

　 One day, someone donated a pair of 44 to her. When the bandages（繃帶）came off, she was able to see everything, including her boyfriend, for the 45 time. He asked her, “Now that you can see the world, will you 46 me?” The girl looked at her boyfriend and was greatly surprised to see that he was 　47 . She had never expected that．She would not like to be with a blind husband for the rest of her life，so she 48 to marry him．

Her boyfriend left in tears and a few days later wrote a 49 to her，saying，“My dear，take good care of your eyes． 50 they are yours. They were mine.”

　 This is how the human brain（人腦）often works when our status（地位）changes．Only a very few remember what 51 was like before．And we often ask for more than we need．Life is a gift. Today, before you complain about the 52 of your food，think of someone who has nothing to 53 . Before you complain about life，think of someone who went to heaven（天堂）too early. Before you complain about your old 54 , think of the people who are living in the streets．And when you are tired and complain about your job, think of those who have no jobs．So 55 what you have and don’t forget your past.

On a cold winter afternoon, Susan was walking home from a supermarket. She was feeling a little 　46 , as she was carrying her shopping bags. They were 　47 heavy that she decided to have a rest in the park. Then she noticed a poor man 　48 in front of her. The man was holding a paper bag. He walked to a rubbish bin(箱) and started looking 　49 it.

Susan suddenly felt sad. She knew this man would take all that he could get. So she went up to him and gave him some fruit. The man looked up in 50 and took what she gave him.

A big smile appeared on his face and she felt very happy. Then he said, “Wow! First someone gave me this sandwich, then the orange juice, and now some delicious 　51 . This is my daughter’s lucky day. Thank you, girl.” Then he went 　52 , singing a song.

Just then, Susan understood 　53 the saying “Giving is getting” really meant. Everyone in the world needs help; everyone can offer help and everyone will 　54 by showing kindness.

Giving sometimes doesn’t cost much, 　55 it means a lot to the people who you help. The man’s happiness at that moment comes into Susan’s mind every time she has the chance to help others.

I watched quietly as my little brother was caught in the act. He sat in the corner of the living room, a 　41 in one hand and my father's new book in the other.

　 　42 my father walked into the room, my brother cowered (畏縮) slowly. He sensed that he had done something 　43　 . From a distance I could see that he had 　44 my father's new book and scribbled (亂畫) in it. Now, looking at my father in 45　 , he and I both waited for his punishment.

　 My father 　46　 up his prized book, looked at it carefully, and then sat down, without saying a word. Books were 　47 to him. He was a clergyman（牧師） and for him, books were 　48 .What he did next was unbelievable. Instead of 　49 my brother, he sat down, took the pen from 　50 , and then wrote in the book himself, alongside the scribbles John had made:

John s work, 1959, age 2. How many times have I looked into your beautiful face and into your warm, alert (警覺的) eyes looking up at me? And how many times have I 51 God for the one who has now scribbled in my new book?

　 "Wow," I thought, "This is punishment?" The years and the books came and went. Our family experienced what all families go through and perhaps a little bit more: happiness and 　52　 , laughter and tears. We always knew our parents 　53 us and that one of the proofs (證明) of their love was the book. From time to time we would 　54 it, look at the scribbles, read my father's expression of love, and feel 　55　 .
