Perhaps the most interesting person I have ever met is an Italian professor of philosophy who teaches at the University of Pisa. 21 I last met this man eight years ago, I have not forgotten his 22 qualities. First of all, I respected his 23 to teaching. Because his lectures were always well-prepared and clearly delivered, students crowded into his classroom. His followers liked the fact that he 24 what he taught. Furthermore, he could be counted on（依赖） to explain his ideas in an 25 way, introducing such aids to 26 as oil paintings, music, and guest lecturers. Once he 27 sang a song in class in order to make a point clear. 28 , 1 admired the fact that he would talk to students outside the classroom or talk with them 29 the telephone. Drinking coffee in the cafe, he would easily make friends with students. Sometimes he would 30 a student to a game of chess. 31 , he would join student groups to discuss a variety of 32 ：agriculture, diving and mathematics. Many young people visited him in his office for 33 on their studies; others came to his home for social evenings. Finally, I was 34 by his lively sense of humor. He believed that no lesson is a success 35 , during it, the students and the professor 36 at least one loud 37 . Through his sense of humor, he made learning more 38 and more lasting. If it is 39 that life makes a wise man smile and a foolish man cry, 40 my friend is indeed a wise man.

There was once a famous king whose name was Tamerlane. Like Alexander the Great, he 36 to become the master of the whole world. So he raised a great 37 and made war on other countries. He conquered(征服，打败） many kings and 38 many cities. But at last his army was beaten; and Tamerlane escaped alone from the field of 39 .
For a long time he wandered in 40 from place to place. His enemies were 41 him. He was about to lose all hope.
One day he was 42 under a tree, thinking of his failure. He had now been a wanderer for twenty days. He couldn’t 43 any longer. Suddenly he saw a small object climbing up the trunk (树干) of the tree. He looked more 44 and saw it was an ant, 45 a grain of wheat（麦粒） as large as itself.
There was a 46 in the tree only a little way above, and that was the home of the ant.
“You are 47 , Mr. Ant,” he said, “but you are carrying something that is too heavy for you.” Just as he 48 , the ant lost its footing and fell to the ground. But it 49 held on to the grain of wheat. Tamerlane 50 the little insect. It tried the second time, the third time ... the twentieth time — but always with the same 51 . Then it tried the twenty-first time. 52 , one little step at a time, it climbed across the rough place where it had 53 so often. The next minute it climbed 54 into its home, carrying the grain of wheat. “Well done!” said Tamerlane, “you’ve taught me a lesson. I, too, will try, try again, 55 I succeed.”
And this he did.

A few years ago, when I was about 14,I went out for a walk 31 a rainy summer day. I saw a man 32 small, dirty colthes. He had 33umbrella, and he was picking bottles out of bushes. When he found 34 ,he smiled and put it in his big bag. I thought,“I wish there 35 some way to help him. Well, I could give him my umbrella.” Then I walked to him 36 gave the umbrella to him.“You need this more than I 37 .” The man took it with 38 big smile on his face and said,“Thank you! Thank you!” And then I walked away 39 good, I turned around and saw him 40a lot more, even though he was still picking bottles from bushes. “It was just an umbrella.” I thought, not 41 that it was the kindness 42 made him happy.
A few weeks later I was walking on a sunny day, and 43 the same man with the same clothes, 44 the same big bag 45 of bottles. The only 46 was that my umbrella was right in the corner, looking47 he cherished（爱护） it. It was so clean.
It didn’t 48 that I couldn’t give the man a house and a job and I only did I was able to do. But 50made someone else happier, so that was enough.

A group of graduates got together to visit their old university professor.
The conversation soon turned into complaints about 36 in work and life. To offer his guests coffee, the 37 went to the kitchen and returned with a large pot of coffee and a variety of 38 — porcelain, plastic, glass, crystal, some 39 , some expensive, some delicate — telling them to help themselves to the 40 .
When all the students 41 a cup of coffee in hand, the professor said, "If you have 42 , all the nice-looking expensive cups have been taken up, 43 the plain and cheap ones. While it is 44 for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the 45 of your problems and stress. "
"Be assured that the cup itself adds no 46 to the coffee. In most cases it is just more expensive and in some cases even 47 what we drink. "
"What all of you really want is coffee, 48 the cup, but you 49 went for the best cups … And then you began 50 each other"s cups. "
"Now consider 51 : Life is the coffee; the jobs, money and position in society are the cups. They are just tools to hold and contain 52 , and the type of cup we have does not determine, nor 53 the quality of life we live. Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cup, we 54 to enjoy the coffee. Fully appreciate the coffee, not the cups! Don"t let the cups 55 you ... enjoy the coffee instead.

I lay there buried alive under our house when the bomb hit our city. The great 21 started by the bomb came nearer and nearer to us as workers tried to 22 us. “Hurry!” they cried to one another as the flames (火焰) came nearer. At last they reached us and 23 me and my mother out from under everything 24 the flames reached us.
Later, as I thought of the pilot of the plane that 25 the bomb on our city, I cried, “I hate him. I hate him.” The people with marked faces from the 26 of the bomb made me cry, “I hate him.” I saw people suffering (遭受) a terrible, 27 death. Again and again I cried as I saw these people, “I hate him!”
Some time later, that man appeared in a meeting I 28 .As I looked at him, I 29 him very much. Then I listened to what he told us of his 30 the day when he dropped the bomb on our city. I heard him say, “When I flew over the city 31 we dropped the bomb, I cried, ‘Oh, God, what have I 32 ’.” I could see that he found it 33 to speak of that day.
As this happened I suddenly 34 my hatred (仇恨) of him was 35 . It only made me unhappy also. As I did this, it was as if a heavy load (负担) 36 my shoulders. Then I decided to 37 him. I did so and my life was 38 .
I now help those who suffer from 39 other people. I try to help them to 40 everyone, as I am now able to do.

I was tired and hungry after a long day of work.
When I walked into the living room, my 12-year-old son 36 up at me and said,“I love you.”I didn"t know what to say. For several 37 all I could do was to 38 there and looked down at him.My first thought was that he must need 39 with his homework or he was trying to 40 me for some news.
Finally I asked,“What was that all about?”
“Nothing,”he said.“My teacher said we should 41 our parents that we love them and see what they say.It is 42 .”
The next day I called his teacher to find out more about this “experiment”and how the other parents had 43
“Most of the fathers had the 44 reacting（反应）as you did ,”the teacher said.“When I first 45we try this , I asked the children what they thought their parents would say . Some of them thought their parents would have heart trouble.“The 46 is,”the teacher explained, “feeling loved is an important part of 47.It is something all people 48 .What I"m trying to tell the children is that it"s too 49 we don"t all express those feelings.A boy should be 50 to tell his dad he loves him.”
The teacher, a middle-aged man , understands how 51 it is for some of us to say the things that would be good for us to say.
When my son came to me that evening ,I held on to(抱着)him for 52 second.And just before he 53 away, I said in my deepest, most manly(男子气慨)voice,“Hey, I love you ,too.”
I don"t know if saying that made either of us healthier, but it did feel pretty good(感觉很好)，Maybe next time one of my children said“I love you”，it wouldn"t take me a whole 54 to think of the right 55 .
