When I was twelve years old. I went with my dad to his work—a car showroom. I was 21  around carelessly and saw a poor woman with a child beside her  22 outside the showroom. I saw that she was crying and went inside to tell my  23 . He went out and  24  the woman to come into the showroom. He offered her some water and then asked her what was  25 .

The woman said that her husband had died and she didn’t have anyone else in her family who could  26   her. she did some manual(体力的) labor to earn some money to  27   her daughter but she was sick for the last three days and was  28  to go to work. Now she didn’t have a grain of food to eat. While she was telling this story to my father, she was unable to   29  her emotions（情绪）and started crying again. My father and I were deeply   30  by her story.

We got some food for her and her baby. My father then took them to the nearest hospital for her baby to be  31  as she did not seem to be very well. On the way, we 32  her a 5kg-bag of wheat from the market. My father gave her some money before we left. The lady was so   33  .

It is eight years later,  34 that event is still very  35  in my mind. My father’s   36 to this woman moved me   37  and since then, I have decided to try and walk a similar path and serve others. I’m   38  to see so many other people in this world are also ready to help others when they meet people   39 . They have  40   to walk a service path also.

A newly trained teacher named Mary went to teach at a Navajo Indian reservation. Every day, she would ask five of the young Navajo students to __1__ the chalkboard and complete a simple math problem from   2   homework.

They would stand there, silently,  3   to complete the task. Mary couldn’t figure it out.   4   she had studied in her educational curriculum helped, and she   5   hadn’t seen anything like it in her student-teaching days back in Phoenix.

What am I doing wrong? Could I have chosen five students who can’t do the  6  ? Mary would wonder. No,  7  couldn’t be that. Finally she   8   the students what was wrong. And in their answers, she learned a   9   lesson from her young   10   pupils about self-image and a(n)   11   of self-worth.

It seemed that the students  12  each other’s individuality and knew that  13  of them were capable of doing the problems.   14  at their early age, they understood the senselessness of the win-lose approach in the classroom. They believed no one would  15  if any students were shown up or embarrassed at the  16  . So they   17   to compete with each other in public.

Once she understood, Mary changed the system   18   she could check each child’s math problem individually, but not at any child’s expense  19  his classmates. They all wanted to learn,  20  not at someone else’s expense.

Last week I went to a supermarket. After I   36  the bill and was passing through the door, the alarm suddenly started to ring. Suddenly, a young guard ran toward me and ordered me to   37  him. I felt so upset and   38 . He took me to a small room, but I was   39  frightened that I stopped at the door. Finding me   40  to enter the room, he shouted that I had to go into the room.

He closed the door. I thought he was going to hurt me. Suddenly, a   41  voice said in my ear, “Take out the things you've stolen!” “I stole nothing.” I said. “Do as I tell you. If we find them, you’ll be in trouble.” “There is nothing.” I answered. “I didn't take anything.” I said, taking everything out of my pockets and bag.

  42  this point, a guard came in and asked a salesgirl to   43  me.   44 , they found nothing.

But they didn't believe that I hadn't stolen anything. So the young guard ordered me to pass through the door alarm again.

I was   45  when it rang again. I felt   46  and burst into tears. I didn't know how to prove   47  I was innocent.

They made me go into the small room again.

“Take out the stolen things quickly,   48  we will dial 110.” They said.

“OK, call the police. I’ m not afraid.” I said   49  .

Suddenly, they   50  their tone. After a while, a salesgirl asked me to raise my feet. I did   51   she had told me. There was a label (标签) on the bottom of my shoe. That was it! That was the   52  thing that had brought me such great trouble. But it  53  my innocence.

After that, they   54  to me in the small room. But they should have apologized   55  , shouldn't they? A lot of people were there when I was taken away. What did they think of me?

It was black in the evening. Andy, a 12-year-old boy was unwilling to go outside. But his mother, Lilly, was worried about his father and  36  he go.
About an hour ago, the husband said he had to  37 his car outside their house. ___38  enough, it seemed that the wife hadn’t heard a single  39 for a long time.
“Go and have a look. What on earth is he doing?” she said to Andy.
The boy walked out and called into the darkness “Dad?”
“Andy?”  40 was his father, who spoke slowly, in a strange way. Actually, his voice sounded  41 .   
That evening, when the man had to get  42 the car to fix it, he used a forklift to lift the car. 43   , the man didn’t place the blocks in front of the car’ s front tires to keep it from  44  forward off the forks, which was exactly  45 it did afterwards.
Little Andy saw his dad’s feet  46 out from beneath the car.  47 to take a full breath, his father sank into a sleepy, half-alive  48 .
“Keep calm, mum. Everything will be all right.” The boy  49 the scared mother.
He climbed on and tried to do something to help. Finally, the car started to come off the ground and hung in the   50 .
After a few minutes, the policemen were sent for. Luckily, the father, who  51 under the car, could still breathe, alive.
It wasn’t  52 his dad was carried into an ambulance heading for the hospital that the little boy  53  and couldn’t help crying.
Andy says one satisfying change has come out of the  54 : he is able to spend more time with his dad, who hasn’t touched a car 55 his car fell on him.

“Forgiveness is the sweetest revenge.” I saw this wonderful old saying again in a book recently. It got me thinking about all the times that I have been    31   to forgive others in my life and all the joy that it has brought me. One    32   stands out particularly well.

I was a young boy at a summer camp. I was having a great time and    33___ everything about it except for another young boy of my age. To say we didn’t

   34   would be a statement that made the situation less serious than it really was. We spent most of the week irritating, insulting (侮辱), and picking on each other.

   35   finally came to a fight on the next to last day of camp. We got into a fist fight which I lost.    36   older boys broke it up before I was hurt too much. I spent the rest of the day alone, refusing to speak andlost in my own    37  .

The next day my spirits were    38   when Mom brought the boys in our cabin some of her delicious homemade    39  . I was enjoying a few slices of it when I saw the other boy sitting by himself at the bottom of the steps outside. He seemed very    40   right then. I am not sure what moved me to do so, but I took my pizza down and    41   it with him. It made all the anger and pain inside me    42  . We became friends after that. I never got into another fist fight either. I had found out that sharing and forgiving were much more fun and a lot less painful.

Forgiveness is    43   the sweetest revenge. It can turn an enemy into a friend. It can    44   a heart from the chains of anger, hatred, and pain. It can open a soul to the sweetness of love and joy once again. May your life always be    45   of sweet forgiveness.
