One day at the end of the class, a wise teacher told each of her students to 　1 a plastic bag and a bag of potatoes to school.

　 The next day she told her students: “From today on, for every person you don't like in your lives, you can choose a potato, write the person's name and the date 　2 it and then put it in the plastic bag.” Day after day, some of the students' bags were very 　3 . They were then told to carry this bag with them everywhere they went for a week. They would put it inside their quilts 4 , on the seats when sitting in a car or on a bus , and next to their desks at school. The days carrying the bag around with them 　5 students get to know what a weight they were carrying in their minds. They had to pay attention to it all the time 　6 they wouldn't forget it. As time passed by, the potatoes went bad and 　7 nasty(恶心). They all tired to get rid of them.

　 Too often we think of tolerance（宽容）as a gift to 　8 people, and it clearly is for ourselves! If we choose to keep our sadness and hatred（仇恨）in our 　9 , we will have to

carry them around all our lives.
