I started to work with a young lady who always said the most     and defeating things I’d ever heard in my life.         , I found myself repeating the very same defeatism(失败情绪), which       my sales dropping and my shining stardom fading away, and I couldn’t understand       .

myself into being a failure. Did it happen       ? No, it snuck(偷偷跑来) its way into my life; little by little. I’m sure you’re       what I did to get out of that hole that I dug for myself.

In order to achieve anything in life, you have to       believe that you can achieve it; in order to believe that you can achieve you have to think it’s possible; in order to think it’s possible you have to tell yourself it is. Yes, it will take time for you to get to a place where you finally believe you can accomplish what you set out to achieve, but the first person you have to     is yourself. I dare you to write positive things down about yourself and start saying them to yourself every morning, at lunch and just before you go to bed for the next 30 days and see for yourself the     that it can make. You have nothing to       except the negative and that wouldn’t be such a bad thing.

One year, after I had been particularly helpful with the jam process Aunt Fannie gave me a  ____      and then made me promise that I would never spend it. " ____      this quarter," she said, "and some day you will be rich. I still have my very first quarter given by my grandfather." It had obviously  ____     for her. So I followed her advice.
I now have the blueberry jam recipe and the quarter from Aunt Fannie. In people's eye Aunt Fannie's  ____     was attributed to that secret recipe. But to me, it was just a  ____     recipe. However, I keep them as  ____     to hold firmly the valuable things in life. Money can make you feel rich for a while, but it is the relationships and the memories of time spent with friends and family that truly leave you wealthy. And that is a ____     that anyone can build.

I had worried myself sick over Simon’s mother coming to see me. I was a new      , and I gave an honest account of the students’ work. In Simon’s case, the grades were awfully low. He couldn’t read his own handwriting.        he was a bright student. He discussed adult subjects with nearly adult comprehension. His work in no way reflected his       .
So when Simon’s mother entered the room, my palms(手掌心) were sweating. I was completely       for her lisses on both my cheeks. “I came to thank you,” she said, surprising me beyond speech.        me, Simon had become a different person. He talked of how he       me, he had began to make friends, and for the first time in his twelve years, he had        spent an afternoon at a friend’s house. She wanted to tell me how grateful she was for the      I had nurtured(培养) in her son. She kissed me again and left.
I sat, stunned (惊呆), for about half an hour,       what had just happened. How did I make such a life-changing difference to that boy without        knowing it? What I finally came to        was one day, several months before, when some students were         reports in the front of the class, Jeanne spoke         , and to encourage her to raise her voice, L had sai, “Speak up. Simon’s the expert on this. He is the        one you have to convince, and he can’t hear you in the        of the room.” That was it. From that day on, Simon had sat up straighter, paid more attention,      more, and became happy. And it was all because he      to be the last kid in the last row. The boy who most needed        was the one who took the last seat that day.
It taught me the most      lesson over the years of my teaching career, and I’m thankful that it came        and positively. A small kindness can indeed make a difference.

My husband, Tom, has always been good with animals, but I was still amazed when he befriended a female grouse (松鸡). It's         for a grouse to have any contact (接触) with people. In fact, they're hard to spot,       they usually fly off when they hear humans approaching.
This grouse came into our lives in     Tom was working out in the field when he      her walking around at the edge of the field. She was       unafraid and seemed to be      about what he was doing.
Tom saw the       bird several times, and she got more comfortable around him. We quickly grew       of the bird and decided to call her Mildred.
One day, as Tom was working, Mildred came within a few feet of him to watch. Tom      he didn't see her and kept working to see what she would do next.
Apparently, she didn't like to be       . She'd run up and peck (啄) at Tom's hands, then       off to see what he would do. This went on for about 20 minutes, until Mildred became tired of the        and left.
As spring went and summer came, Mildred started to        more and more often.       Mildred felt comfortable enough to jump up on Tom's leg and stay long enough for me to get a        of the two of them together. This friendly grouse soon felt        not just with our family, but with anybody who walked or drove by.
When hunting season opened, we put a        at the end of our driveway asking       not to shoot our pet grouse. My father, who lived down the road,        warned people not to shoot her.       . hunters would stop and take pictures, because they had never seen anything like her.
