There was once a young man who began to feel self-satisfied after some small achievements.

    One day, the young man took a walk with a _16_ man from the town. On the way the young man was bragging (吹噓) about himself, _17_ the wise man didn't say a word. When they _18_ a peak (山峰), the wise man asked, "Look down. What do you see?"

     "I see trees, farmland, houses and people as _19_ as ants working in the fields," the young man said.

     "What do you feel?" the wise man asked.

     "Everything is _20_ me. I feel I rule the world," the young man answered.

     The wise man said _21_. After a minute, he asked the young man to look _22_ "What do you see this time?" the wise man asked.

     "I see _23_ flying around high mountains, the white clouds on the mountains and the _24_ sky above the white clouds," the young man answered.

     Then he asked the wise man's _25_

     "I feel small and powerless," the wise man answered. "A person who knows to look upward can _26_ understand his position(位置). When a person knows the blue sky is always overhead, he won't be so _27_ as to believe he rules over the world or other people. "

The young man felt foolish(愚蠢的) for his _28_. From then on, _29_ he began to feel as if the world owed (虧欠) him something, he looked up at the sky and remembered _30_ small he really was. Try to look upward when you feel too good about yourself.

Once, there was a beautiful girl who didn’t like herself, because she was blind, she couldn’t see anything.

In fact, the girl  1.  nobody except her boyfriend, for he was always  2.   to help her. She used to tell her boyfriend, “3.  I could see the world, I would marry you.”

One day, someone donated a pair of  4.  to the girl. When the bandages came off，she was able to see  5. ,including her boyfriend for the  6.   time.

In a word, enjoy the things you have and don’t forget your past.
