Liam works in Sydney. Last week he had   41  holiday, but he didn’t know   42  to go. He said to his friend Robert, “I   43    the hot weather here, but I can’t find a cool place in Australia. How will I spend my holiday?”
“That. ’s   44   ,” said Robert. “You’d better go to Moscow. It’s   45   there because it is covered with snow and ice now.”
Liam    46  with his friend. He bought an air ticket and soon   47  Moscow. He made a   48  journey there. But one day he got into trouble. After lunch he went outside the city. He saw a dog   49 him while he  50  by a house. It was   51   and wanted to get some food to eat. Bad luck! He had no pieces of bread or cake with him. He tried to send it away. But it began to shout at him. He wanted to 52   something to make the dog go away, but he couldn’t find anything  53   snow and ice. Suddenly he saw a stone(石头) on the ground. He tried to   54  but he failed.
“ How strange the Russians are!” Liam said to himself. “They do not tie(拴)their dogs, but firmly(紧紧地)tie the   55    ”.

A wise man used to go to the ocean to do his writing. He had a habit of walking on the beach every morning.
One day, when he was walking along the shore（海岸）, he saw a young man moving like a
dancer. He smiled to himself at the thought that someone would dance on the beach. So he began to walk faster to catch up.
As he got closer, he saw that the young man wasn’t dancing, but instead he was reaching down to the shore, picking up something and very gently throwing it into the ocean.
He called out, “Good morning! What are you doing?” The young man stopped, looked up and replied, “Throwing starfish in the ocean.” “I guess I should have asked, why are you throwing starfish in the ocean?”
“The sun is up and the tide（潮汐）is going out. And if I don’t throw them in, they’ll die.”
“But, young man, don’t you realize that there are miles and miles of beach and starfish all along it. You can’t possibly make a difference!”
The young man listened politely. Then he bent down, picked another starfish, and threw it into the sea, and said, “It made a difference for that one.”
There is something very special in each and every one of us. We have all been gifted（赋予）
with the ability to make a difference.
We must each find our starfish. And if we throw starfish wisely and well, the world will be better.
