题型：不详难度：来源：
On March 5, 2012 , I bought a Perfect Muffin Kit(松饼粉 ) from your store at Midfield Shopping Center. The cashier who assisted me was George. George was very friendly and told me that the Perfect Muffin Kit would live up to the guarantee on the box: “Perfect Muffins Every Time!”.
Unfortunately, this product did not live up to what it promised . The muffins I made were far from perfect . I followed the directions in the package very carefully . First , I removed the bag of mix from the box. Then , I poured it into a bowl. Next, I added the correct amount of water to the mix and stirred it. According to the directions, after stirring the mixture , I added half a cup of dried prapes, nuts , berries, or another favorite ingredient(配料 ) . My favorite ingredient happens to be hot sauce (沙司 ). I find that a bit of hot sauce makes pizza and soup taste very delicious. So, continuing to follow the directions, I added half a cup of hot sauce to the mix and stirred it. Finally, I poured the mix into muffin tins and baked it in the baker at 350 degrees for exactly 20 minutes.
When the muffins finished baking, I was very excited to eat the “Perfect Muffins” as promised on the box. You can imagine my disappointment when, upon tasting the muffins, I discovered that they were not perfect. These muffins were , in fact , absolutely terrible. Not even my dog was interested in eating these supposedly “perfect”muffins.
I would appreciate a full refund(退款 ) of $3.99 for this product as soon as possible. Enclosed are the receipt, the empty box, and one of the un-perfect muffins so that you can experience it for yourself . Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Sincerely ,
Michelle Bauer

During the morning break, Kim and I 39 to check out the damage．A first hand observation would make us heroes at lunch．We safely 40 the science room．We stood on tiptoes（脚尖）looking hard through the door window, trying to see what was like inside 41 suddenly a firm hold on our shoulders stopped us．
"Where do you belong? Certainly not here!"
I turned around to find a teacher staring 42 at us, shouting．In those frozen seconds millions of 43 flashed through my mind．My father would kill me for disobeying teachers．Worse than that, my mother might be so mad that she might not 44 him．My heart 45 even lower when I thought of how angry Mr．Johnson would be．Soon the teacher led Kim and me back to the classroom, leaving us 46 before Mr．Johnson．
But to our 47 , there was no yelling and no anger from Mr．Johnson． 48 , he bent slowly to look me in the eye．I was met with a look of 49 rather than anger．He spoke softly and carefully as he explained why he was 50 in my decision to go where I might have got 51 ．As I looked into the eyes of the man who could send me to unimagined 52 at home, tears welled up in my eyes．The thought of disappointing Mr．Johnson 53 me while I felt a gentle touch of Mr．Johnson"s hand on my shoulder．I glanced up and he smiled．My 54 for Mr．Johnson grew greatly the moment I discovered that he still liked me even after I"d disappointed him．I could see that he cared more about my 55 than the fact that I"d broken a rule．It was the first time I felt the power of forgiveness．

One day the grandson came to his grandfather with a look of anger on his face and the following story．"Father and I went to the store today and because I helped him, he bought me a present, a jack-knife．I went outside to wait for father and to admire my new knife in the sunlight．Some town boys came by and saw me．They surrounded me and started saying bad things．They called me dirty and stupid and said that I should not have such a fine knife．The largest of these boys pushed me back and I fell over one of the other boys．I dropped my knife and one of them picked it up and they all ran away laughing．I hate them．I hate them all．”
The elder Cherokee, with eyes that had seen too much, lifted his grandson"s face so his eyes looked into the boy"s face．Grandfather said, " Let me tell you a story．I, too, at times, have felt a great hate for those who have taken so much with no sorrow for what they do．But hate wears you down and does not hurt your enemy．It is like drinking poison and wishing your enemy would die．I have struggled with these feelings many times．It is as if two wolves are inside me．．．It is a terrible fight．
One wolf is good and does no harm．He lives in harmony with all around him and does not take offense (冒犯) when no offense is intended．It will only fight when it is right to do so and in the right way．This wolf stands for joy, peace, love, hope, sharing, modesty, kindness, friendship, sympathy, generosity, truth and faith．
The other wolf is full of anger．The smallest thing will set off his fiercest temper．He fights everyone, all the time, for no reason．He cannot think because his anger and hate are so much．
It is helpless anger, for his anger will change nothing．This wolf represents fear, envy, greed, self-pity, guilt, lies, false pride and superiority．
Sometimes, it is hard to live with these two wolves inside me for both of them try to control my mind．This same fight is going on inside you and inside every other person too．"
The boy looked into his grandfather"s eyes and asked, "Which wolf will win?" The old Cherokee simply replied ．．．
"The one you feed．"

“Mister,” he said, “I want to buy one of your puppies.”
“Well,” said the farmer, as he 38 the sweat off his face, “these puppies come from fine parents and cost 39 money. Do you have enough money?”
The boy 40 his head for a moment. Then reaching into his pocket, he pulled out a handful of 41 and held it up to the farmer. “I’ve got thirty-nine cents. Is that enough to take a look?” “Sure,” said the farmer. And with that he 42 a whistle (口哨声), “Here, Dolly!” he called. 43 from the doghouse and down the ramp ran Dolly 44 by four little balls of fur. The little boy’ eyes danced with delight. As the dogs made their 45 to the fence, the little boy noticed something else stirring inside the doghouse. 46 another little ball appeared; this one noticeably smaller.

Growing up on the “garden isle” of Kauai, Hamilton spent every minute she could riding the waves. She was on the verge of (即将) becoming a top competitor in professional surfing. But while she was practicing at an isolated cove (小湾)，a four-meter-long tiger shark ripped off her left arm. Though her life was saved, nobody could imagine she would ever get back on a surfboard again.
In a true test of her faith and by tremendous will power, Bethany did get back up on a surfboard only a month after the attack. Six months later, she was competing again. Bethany Hamilton won her first amateur surfing championship just two years after she lost her arm. She also established the “Friends of Bethany,” a non---profit foundation dedicated to supporting sharks attack victims.
It’s a story told in her autobiography, which is the basis for the film that stars teenager Anna Sophia Robb. “I knew Bethany’s story, of course, but I thought ‘What an incredible role’ ,”explains Robb. “I was so fascinated by all of the challenges. What would it be like to have your arm taken and what would go through your head and how would your faith be challenged?”
The filmmakers used special effects to digitally remove Robb’ s arm .However ,no tricks were necessary for the surfing scenes because Hamilton herself did the breathtaking wave riding.
Now 21, Hamilton says she hopes audiences find inspiration in the description of the sport she loves.
“Not a lot of people know that much about surfing, so I hope they’re educated about it,” Hamilton says. “And most of all if people are going through a hard time, they could be encouraged and find inspiration to push through those hard times and see that, in my case ,so much good has come out of it.”
