During my second year of nursing school, our teacher gave us a quiz (小测验). I was a hard-working student and I did well      all the subjects. I finished the questions successfully until I read the     one, “What is the first name of the     who cleans the school?”
I saw the cleaning woman every day. She is short and about 60 years old. She has dark hair. But      would I know her name? I have      talked with her before. In fact, I’ve never even thought about      to her! I stared at (盯着) my paper and started to feel rather guilty (惭愧的). Finally, I handed in my paper     writing the answer to the last question.
Before the class ended, one student      the teacher if the last question would count (计入) into our grade. “In your life,” the teacher said, “you will     many people. All are      . They deserve (值得) your attention (注意) and care, even if all you do is just      and saying hello.”
I’ll never      that lesson. Everyone deserves our attention and we    try to get to know all the people who work and live around us. That was the most important   of my life. Later that day, I    that the cleaning woman’s name was Dorothy.

The film of this week is Life of Pi. Pi has been raised in a zoo in India. When his father decides to move the family to Canada and sell the animals to American zoos, they get on a Japanese ship. The ship sinks, and 16-year-old Pi finds himself alone on a lifeboat with a hyena, an orangutan, a zebra, and a tiger.
Soon, there’s only Pi and the tiger. They spend 227 days in the Pacific Ocean. Pi’s fear, knowledge, and wisdom keep him alive.

Tigers are dangerous and cruel animals. They are the bosses of the Asian jungles with their cleverness, quickness and s小题1: .A cat, on the o 小题2: hand, is a homebody that comforts us with its gentle warmth and calms us with its purring(猫叫声).
As a mother, there is no doubt that the Chinese-American writer Amy Chua is a tiger. Her book, Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother,t 小题3: people about the strict raising she gave her two children. She thinks that being strict is the o 小题4: way to develop a child's potential(潜力)and to make them strong, independent and successful. Her kids were not allowed to watch TV or play video games. They were not allowed to "hang out" with other kids after school. They had to be the top students in their classes. And they had to practise playing the piano and violin for hours every day. As a r 小题5: , her kids became successful.
Chua says, I 小题6: her, most Asian mothers are tigers because they believe their children can achieve a lot if they're pushed hard enough. She says American mothers are really cats. They care m 小题7: about their children's self-esteem(自尊).They don't want to push their kids too hard for fear of hurting their feelings. American mothers e 小题8: their children to find their own path.
So, is a tiger mom better than a cat? Perhaps it depends on the differences b小题9: Asian and Western cultures. It may a 小题10: depend on the child himself. Some kids need to be pushed while others respond(反应)to a gentler hand. To growl or to purr? There is no easy answer.

As I was passing the elephants, I was confused to see these huge animals were held by nothing but a small rope. The rope was tied to their front legs. No chains, no cages. It was        that the elephants could easily break away from the ropes at any time. But the fact was opposite.
I saw a        nearby and asked why these elephants just stood there and made no attempt (尝试) to       . “Well,” he said, “when they were very young and much smaller, we used the same        rope to tie them. At that age, it was enough to hold them. As they       , they are used to believing that they cannot break away. They believe the rope can        hold them, so they never try to break free.”
To my       , these animals could break free from their ropes at any time, but they       . Because they believed they couldn’t, they were stuck right where they were.
Like the elephants, how many of us go        life believing that we cannot do something, simply because we failed at it once before? How many of us have        trying something new because of a limited belief (认知)? Worse, how many of us are being held back by someone else’s limited beliefs?
