A young man was about to finish school. For a long time he had　 26　 to get a beautiful sports car. He knew his father could well　 27　 it, so he told him that a sports car was all he wanted.

　　　　 Then on the morning of his graduation（毕业）,he was called to his father’s room. His father told him how　 28　 he was to have such a fine son, and told him how　 29　 he loved him. He handed his son a beautiful gift box. 30 , the young man opened the box and found a lovely Bible（圣经）with his name on it. Angrily, he raised his　 31　 to his father and said, “With all your money you give me a Bible? ” He then　 32　 out of the house, leaving the Bible.

　　　 　Many years passed and the young man was very　 33　 in business, and had a beautiful home and a wonderful family. 34　 that his father was very old, he thought perhaps he should go to see him. He had not seen him　 35　 that graduation day. Before he could go, he received a　 36　 telling him that his father had died. He had to go home immediately and take　 37　 of the things that his father left him.

　　　　 When he began to search through his father’s important

papers, he saw the still new Bible,　 38　　 as he had left

it years ago. He opened the Bible and began to　　 39

the pages. As he was reading, a car key with a tag（标牌）

dropped from the back of the Bible. On the tag was the

40　　 of his graduation, and the words “PAID IN

FULL”. Sadness and regret（悔恨）filled his heart.

There was a little boy who got angry easily. His father gave him a bag of nails(钉子) and told him that every  16  he got angry, to drive a nail into the back wall. The first day the boy had 17  37 nails into the wall. Then he put fewer and fewer nails. He found it was　18   to be not angry than to drive those  19  into the wall. 　Finally the day came when the boy didn't get  20  at all. He told his father about it and the father suggested that the boy now pull out one nail for each day that he was able to be not angry. The days  21  and the young boy was finally able to tell his father that  22  nails were gone. The father took his son by the hand and led him to the  23　. He said, "You have done  24 , my son, but look at the holes in the wall. The wall will  25  be the same. When you say things 　26 , they leave a scar(伤疤) just like this one. You  27  put a knife in a man and draw it out. It won't matter  28  you say I'm sorry, the wound（伤口） is still there. A mental hurt is as bad as a physical one. Friends are a very rare jewel, indeed. They make you  29  and encourage you to succeed. They lend an ear, they share a word of praise, and they always　30　 to open their hearts to us.

Dear Ann,
　　I hope that you and your children will be here in two weeks. My husband and I will  go to meet you at the train station. Our town is small but it is nice and beautiful. Your son Tom can go to the sports center every day. He can play games and go swimming there. Jill  is also lucky. My son has a cat and two sheep and I have two horses. She can play with them all day.
Please don't worry. I'm sure you’ll have a good time here.　See you soon.
Best wishes,
Linda

A man got a new car and he was very proud 　26　 it. One day, when he 　27　 back home, he saw his three-year-old son 　28　 hitting the new car with a toy hammer. The man was 　29　 angry that he ran to his son, grabbed the hammer from 　30　, and used the hammer to hit the little boy’s hands too hard. The 　31　 boy cried out but his father didn’t care.
When the father 　32　, he took his son to the 　33　 as fast as he could. Although the doctor tried his best to save the 　34　 bones（骨头）, he had to cut the fingers from both of the boy’s hands in the end.
When the boy 　35　 in the hospital and saw his hands, he innocently(天真) said, “Dady, I’m sorry about your car.” Then he asked, “but 　36　 are my fingers going to grow back?” The father 　37　 very sad.
Think about the story when 　38　 steps on your feet or when you wish to take revenge(报复). Think first before you lose your patience with someone. Cars can 　39　, but broken bones and hurt feelings often can’t.
　　People often make mistakes. But we should remember that forgiveness is greater than revenge. 　40　 before act!
