      A young man，while traveling through a desert，came across a spring of clear water．（31）Thewater was sweet．He filled his leather container so that he could bring some back to an elder（32）who/that  had been his teacher．After a four-day journey，the young man （33）presented （ present ） the water to the old man．His teacher took a deep drink，smiled （34）warmly（warm），and thanked his student very much for the sweet water．The young man went home （35）with a happy heart．
     After the student left，the teacher let （36）another student taste the water．He spit it out，（37）saying（say） it was awful．Apparently，it was no longer fresh because of the old leather container．He asked his teacher，"Sir，the water was awful．Why did you pretend to like （38）it？"
     The teacher replied，"You tasted the water．I tasted the girl．The water was simply thecontainer for an act of kindness and love．Nothing could be  （39）sweeter （sweet）．"
     We understand this lesson best （40）when we receive gifts of love from children．Whether it is a cheap pipe or a diamond necklace，the proper response is appreciation．We love the idea within the gift rather than the thing．

4．Born  in  America，I spoke English，not Chinese，the language of my ancestors．When I was three，my parents flashed cards with Chinese（16）charactersat my face，but I pushed them （17）aside．My mom believed I would learn （18）whenI was ready．But the （19）timenever came．
On a Chinese New Year's Eve，my uncle spoke to me in Chinese，but all I could do was （20）stareat him，confused，scratching my head．"Still can't speak Chinese？"He （21）laughed atme，"You can't even buy a fish in Chinatown．"
"Hey，this is America，not China．I'll get some （22）right now with or without Chinese．"I replied and turned to my mom for （23）Permission．I（24）repeated  the words，running downstairs into the streets of Chinatown．
I found the fish （25）standsurrounded in a sea of customers．"I'd like to buy some fresh fish，"I should to the fishman．But he（26）ignored my English words and turned to serve the next customer．The laugh of the people behind increased （27）withtheir impatience．With every （28）second，the breath of the dragons （龍） on my back grew stronger-my blood boiling-（29）forcingme to cry out．"Xian Sheng Yu，please．""Very Xian Sheng，"I repeated．The crowd erupted into laughter．My face turned （30）
red and I ran back home （31）empty-handed，except for the $20bill I held tightly in my pocket．
  Should I laugh or cry？They're Chinese．I should feel right at （32）home．Instead，I was the joke，a disgrace （丟臉）to the language．
Sometimes，I laugh at my fish （33）incident，but，in the end，the joke is on （34）me．Every laugh is a culture（35）lost； every laugh is my heritage （傳統(tǒng)） fading away．

3．When Alice started to cycle home from Jenny's house，she wasn't nervous．She was certainly not afraid of the dark．（36）Besides，it was only a 15-minute ride home．But halfway there，she began to wish that he hadn't been so （37）brave．
As she rounded a sharp bend，it suddenly（38）grew cold-very cold．Alice's breath became puffs of white cloud and her legs so cold that it became hard to ride．
With her heart beating fast，she struggled so hard to move（39）backward that she didn't hear the car which suddenly appeared beside her．She stopped by the road．The big black car also （40）stopped．Slowly，the passenger-window began to slide down．Alice held her breath．In the soft light inside the car，something（41）started．Then，the light brightened and Alice was staring at a sweet，grey-haired old lady．"Hello，dear，"said the old lady．"I need（42）help．I'm afraid I'm lost．I need to find the nearest airport．I must be there in the next five minutes．"
"Airport？You （43）water are lost，"Alice said．"You need to go back five kilometers（44）until you reach the T-junction．Turn left and（45）drivefor about another 10kilometers to the main highway．From there，just follow the（46）signsto the airport．But I'm afraid there's no（47）wayyou'll get there in five minutes!"
"Thank you very much，dear，"replied the old lady．"Don't worry-I'll（48）make itit time．"
The（49）windowup and the car started off．A little way ahead，it（50）turnedand with headlights flashing，it drove past Alice．But then，something（51）strangehappened．The car began changing．First，its color（52）fadedfrom black to silvery-grew．Then，the wheels began disappearing，but the car continued to move forward，（53）floatingjust above the ground．As the car （54）roseinto the dark sky，the big red tail-lights grew larger and larger and glowed more and more brightly．With a faint whistling（55）sound，the car was gone in seconds，leaving Alice shaking her head in disbelief…

2．Another person's enthusiasm was what set me moving toward the success I have achieved．That person was my stepmother．
    I was nine years old when she enterd our home in rural Virginia．My father（36）introducedme to her with these words："I would like you to meet the fellow who is（37）distinguishedfor being the worst boy in this county and will probably start throwing rocks at you no （38）laterthan tomorrow morning．"
    My stepmother walked over to me，（39）raisedmy head slightly upward，and looked me right in the eye．Then she looked at my father and replied，"You are （40）impolite．This is not the worst boy at all，（41）butthe smartest one who hasn't yet found an outlet（釋放的途徑）for his enthusiasm．"
    That statement began a（n） （42）friendshipbetween us．No one had ever called me smart，My family and neighbors had built me up in my（43）mindas a bad boy．My stepmother changed all that．
    She changed many things．She（44）persuadedmy father to go to a dental school，from which he graduated with honors．She moved our family into the county srat，where my father's career could be more（45）successfuland my brother and I could be better（46）educated．
    When I turned fourteen，she bought me a secondhand（47）typewriterand told me that she believed that I could become a writer．I knew her ernthusiasm，I（48）appreciatedit had alreadly improved our lives．I accepted her（49）beliefand began to write for local newspapers．I was doing the same kind of（50）writingthat great day I went to interview Andrew Carnegie and received the task which became my life's work later．I wasn't the（51）onlybeneficiary （受益者）．My father became the （52）wealthiestman in town．My brother and stepbrthers became a physician，a dentist，a lawyer，and a college president．
    What power （53）enthusiasmhas!When that power is released to support the certainty of one's purpose and is（54）constantlystrengthened by faith，it becomes an irresistible（不可抗拒的）force which poverty and temporary defeat can never（55）match．
You can communicate that power to anyone who needs it．This is probably the greatest work you can do with your enthusiasm．

1．Behind our house is the start of a fascinating trail （小徑）．This trail is one of the old roads that wind through untold miles of forest．My（36）dog，Beans，and I walk the trail frequently．Normally，Beans sniffs alongside the trail to follow the smell of a deer track or （37）explore some cause known only to him．
Beans is a white dog，quite handsome and very（38）smart．He not only understands what we tell him，but also often makes sounds as if he were trying to （39）speak back．
One morning，we took a different route，which led us to an unfamiliar trail．I was sure this trail would eventually lead us to our familiar （40）path．But，no．We seemed to be far off course．After two hours，I suddenly realized that Beans probably（41）knew the way home．So I urged，"Beans，take me home．"He ran down a new trail．But it merely led to an intersection （岔道口） of trails．
Soon it became（42）ridiculous that we were getting nowhere．I began to picture the rest of the day in the（43）forest，without food or drink．We had walked about ten miles．But Beans seemed totally（44）unconcerned．The sniffing and exploring was going well for him．
Finally，we （45）cameto a crossroad near a highway．Lady Luck suggested I should turn left．We did and（46）shortly  reached a cottage beside a field．I knocked on the door and explained my situation to an old man．He laughed and then drove us home．
Since our adventure，I （47）concluded that Beans probably knew all along how to get home．He was just having too much fan exploring new trails．
