A loving person lives in a loving world. A hostile(敌意的)person lives in a hostile world. Everyone you meet is your mirror.

Mirrors have a very particular　 __36__. They reflect the image in front of them. Just as a　 __37__　 mirror works as the vehicle to reflection, __38__　 do all of the people in our lives.

When we see something beautiful such as a flower garden, that garden　 __39__　 a reflection. When we love someone，it's a(n)　 __40__　 of loving ourselves. We have often heard things like “I love how I am when I'm with that person”. That simply　 __41__　 into “I'm able to love me when I love that other person”.　 __42__， when we meet someone new, we feel as though we “click”. Sometimes it's as if we've　 __43__　 each other for a long time. That feeling can come from　 __44__　 similarities.

Just as the “mirror” or other people can be a positive reflection，it is more likely that we'll　 __45__ it when it has a negative connotation(内涵).　 __46__，it's easy to remember the times when we have met someone we're not particularly　 __47__　 about. We may have some criticism(批评)in our mind about the　 __48__. This is especially true when we get to know someone with whom we would rather spend　 __49__　 time.

Often, when we　 __50__　 qualities in other people, ironically(讽刺地), it's usually the mirror that's　 __51__　 to us.

At times we meet someone　 __52__　 and feel distant disconnected, or disgusted.　 __53__　 we don't want to believe it，and it's not easy or　 __54__　 to look further，it can be a great learning lesson to　 __55__　 what part of the person is being reflected in you. It's simply just another way to create more self?awareness.

A friend of mine once asked me: “Why should a Chinese take time to learn a language that is not his own?”Obviously he has __96__in learning a foreign language. He is not the only one who is mentally against English learning. One reason, as I suspect, is the way English is ___97___. The emphasis on memorization is such that no __98___is left in the process of learning, only endless annoyance. What students are presented in the classroom is not the language in real communication. A Chinese student with extremely high scores for American standardized tests was __99__ into one of the most famous universities. But his professors soon found out  he could __100__ understand the lesson. Suspecting that he__101___in the tests, the school demanded he repeat them. Again, he passed with high scores. Not till then did they realise the student had mastered the __102__for dealing with the tests, not the skills of using the language.

Many people take TOFEL, IELTS, GRE, annual Band 4 and Band 6 exams not because they work inareas where English is a___103___tool, but because they have to do it for job promotion.　　 Must English learning be such a pain in the neck? Create a(n)__104__ where learning English is natural and painless. Don't make it compulsory for people whose work or major does not require it. China will not become more___105___ by adding millions of people who can only say a simple “Hello.”

It's fourteen years since I left the Philippines to live with my family in the USA. A month ago, while on summer vacation back in my motherland, I learned a lesson from mosquito（蚊子）bites. Right before 41 Kennedy Airport in New York, my grandma 　42 me of the behavior of the native mosquitoes around the 　43 like me. She said, "There's an old saying—the 　44 you stay away from the motherland, the sweeter your blood 　45 to the mosquitoes. " Not 　46 it, I replied, "Grandma, that's just an old wives' tale!"

Well, less than a week 　47 my arrival in Manila, I was already carpeted with a 　48 of mosquito bites. I took many measures to keep myself from being 　49 , but they all proved useless.

Late one 　50 in my cousin's home, I couldn't bear the 　51 of the bites. Hoping to find some comfort, I 　52 my cousin, who was sleeping peacefully in the bed next to mine. Unhappy for being 　53 　she said, "There is nothing you can do. Go back to sleep. " With a few turns, she slept again. Enviously（妒嫉地） 54 her sleep, I hoped a big mosquito would 　55 on her face. However, the mosquitoes would just lightly dance around her forehead and fly away quickly, never biting her. Amazed（惊奇的）, I ran to others' 　56 , only to find they were all sleeping 　57 as the same thing occurred again and again.

From those bites, I came to 　58 my grandma's silly tale. From then on, I've always tried to keep a（n） 59 mind about those strange old wives' tales 　60 they do have some truth to them.

When we are unfamiliar with something, we may feel nervous and fearful. The help of others is a good 　 31　 to help us pull through.

I write for a big newspaper, and I wanted to 　 32　 a story about parachute jumping（跳伞）. To make it a realistic as well as exciting 　 33　 , I decided that I had to make a jump myself 　 34　 . Unluckily, I’m not good at any 　 35　 , let alone（更不用说）parachute jumping.

My friend Mr. Smith was willing to give me a 　 36　 . He took me to a ground school. The first day’s 　 37　 included several hours of instruction but not my first drop from a(n) 　38 . For this, I had to wait until the following 　 39　 .

The next morning, I was taken to the airfield. 　 40　 , a heavy parachute was put on my back. Then I was 　 41　 to make my way to a small plane which had just stopped slowly on the runway. Once on board, the plane was soon 　 42　 . I began to feel nervous. As we reached one thousand meters, Harry, my teacher, hooked（钩）a 　 43　 from my parachute to a steel ring inside the plane. The line was to pull my parachute 　 44 after I jumped.

“Get 　 45　 , Henry,” Harry said. I moved carefully to the door. I wanted to 　 46　 , “NO, no, no!” But no word came.

“Jump!” Harry called 　 47　 . “Jump!”

Away from the plane, and down, down I fell, arms stretched. It worked. All at once I was very happy. Then I felt a quick 　 48　 . My big parachute had opened! It was the best 　 49　 I ever had. I looked down. There were rivers, trees, fields and houses. I heard the soft sound of the air. This was 　 50　 .
