There was a blind girl who hated herself because she was blind. In fact, she 16 everyone, except her loving boyfriend who was 17 there for her. She used to tell her boyfriend, “If I could only see the 18 , I would marry you.”
One day, someone donated (捐赠) a pair of 19 to her. When the bandages came off, she was able to see everything, 20 her boyfriend for the first time. He asked her, “ 21 you can see the world, will you 22 me?” The girl looked at her boyfriend and saw that he was 23 . The sight of his closed eyelids shocked her. She hadn’t 24 that. The thought of looking at them for the rest of her life led her to 25 to marry him.
Her boyfriend left 26 and a few days later wrote a note to her, 27 : “Take good care of your eyes, my dear, for 28 they are yours, they were mine.”
This is how the human brain often 29 when our status (地位) changes. Only a very few remember what 30 was like before. Life is a gift. Today before you say a(n) 31 word, think of someone who can’t speak. Before you complain about the 32 of your food, think of someone who has 33 to eat. Before you complain about life, think of someone who went to heaven too early. Before you complain about your old house, think of the people who are 34 in the streets. And when you are tired and complain about your job, think of the 35 . So enjoy what you have and don’t forget your past.

James Cleveland Owens was the son of a farmer and the grandson of black slaves. His family moved to Cleveland when he was 9.There, a school teacher asked the youth his name.
"J.C., "he replied.
She thought he had said "Jesse", and he had a new name.
Owens ran his first race at age 13.After high school, he went to Ohio State University. He had to work part time so as to pay for his education. As a second year student in the Big Ten games in 1935, he set even more records than he would in the Olympic Games a year later.
A week before the Big Ten meet, Owens accidentally fell down a flight of stairs. His back hurt so much that he could not exercise all week, and he had to be helped in and out of the car that drove him to the meet. He refused to listen to the suggestions that he give up and said he would try, event by event. He did try, and the results are in the record book.
The stage was set for Owens victory at the Olympic Games in Berlin the next year, and his success would come to be regarded as not only athletic but also political. Hitler did not congratulate any of the AfricanAmerican winners.
"It was all right with me, "he said years later."I didn’t go to Berlin to shake hands with him, anyway."
Having returned from Berlin, he received no telephone calls from the president of his own country, either. In fact, he was not honored by the United States until 1976, four years before his death.
Owens Olympic victories made little difference to him. He earned his living by looking after a school playground, and accepted money to race against cars, trucks, motorcycles and dogs.
"Sure, it bothered me, "he said later." But at least it was an honest living. I had to eat."
In time, however, his gold medals changed his life."They have kept me alive over the years, "he once said. "Time has stood still for me. That golden moment dies hard."

A mother and daughter living in my community are two of the most unfriendly people I have ever come across in my life. They are totally separated, mixing with 36 . As they drive past 37 they keep their eyes looking away and make no sign of acceptance. The only fame they have is making a nuisance of themselves to the local police station by 38 music played too loud, dogs barking more than once a day and any other pretty 39 gripe (把柄).
On moving into this neighborhood, I was 40 of these two but decided I would make up my own mind. This proved quite a 41 to me as more than once either the mother or the daughter would knock on my door and blast (猛烈抨击) me with some 42 or other.
I 43 answered politely and made sure I 44 as they went past my place and also made the effort now and then to make a kind remark about their garden or pets.
Time passed and in October, as part of the kindness rock give (送爱心石活动), Maureen and I 45 to place a kindness rock in their garden. Their 46 remained unchanged, however, and I continued to be as friendly as possible. During the Easter give, we decided once again to 47 these two unhappy ladies to our list and left a packet of cookies on their 48 . Imagine my 49 when two days later they 50 at my gate and jokingly said they are considering hanging their Christmas stockings on their gate, and they 51 me a bunch of flowers!
So, my fellow gifters , do not 52 on your random（随意的） gifts of kindness. You may never know just what this 53 to others, nor how many broken or 54 hearted people you may just change with a simple act of 55 .
