When I was in primary school，I got into a major(主要的) argument with a boy in my class. I can't   1  what it was about，but I have never forgotten the   2  I learned that day.
I was sure that I was right and he was wrong－and he strongly believed that I was wrong and he was right. The   3  decided to teach us a very important lesson. She   4  both of us up to the   5  of the class and placed him on one side of her desk and me on the other. In the   6  of her desk was a large，round object. I could   7  see that it was black. She asked the boy what   8   the object was. "White," he answered in a loud voice.
I couldn't believe he said the object was white,   9 it was obviously black！Another   10   started between my classmate and me，this   11  about the color of the object.
The teacher told me to go stand where the boy was standing and told him to come stand where I had been. We changed   12 ，and now she asked me what the color of the object was. I   13   answer，"White." It was an object with two   14  colored sides，and from his side it was white.  15  from my side was it black.
My teacher taught me a very important lesson that day：You must stand in the other person's shoes and look at the situation through their eyes in order to truly understand their view.

A man called his son in New York the day before Christmas and said,  “I have to tell you your Mom and I are going to divorce(離婚) ! Thirty years is quite a long time.”
“Dad, what are you talking about?” the son cried.
The father said:“We are sick of each other. I don’t want to talk about it anymore. You call your sister in Chicago and tell her about the news.”
When the daughter got the news, she is very surprised at it.
“What? They are getting divorced.” She shouted, “I’ll stop them.” She called her father immediately, and cried to her father,” Don’t do anything until I get home. I’m calling my brother back, and we’ll both be there tomorrow. Wait for us, please.”
