I was teaching in a small town where my twenty-seven third graders excitedly expected the great day of gift-giving in a couple of days. Each day the children produced some new 36 Christmas cards, handmade gifts, German bells and so on. Through it all she remained alone, 37 from far away. I wondered what would happen to this quiet child, once so happy, now suddenly so quiet. I hoped the festivities would please her. But nothing did. The students made the fried marbles (small balls, made of glass or stone) and competed with one another to bring the 38 ones. The day of gift-giving finally came. We cheered over our handiwork as the presents were 39 . All along, she sat quietly, watching. To see her smile, I had made a special bag for her. She opened it so slowly and carefully. I waited but she 40 . After school I sat down in a chair, hardly knew what was happening, when she came to me with out-stretched hands, holding a small white box that looked a little old, as if it had been many times by unknown, childish hands. She said nothing. “For me?” I asked. She said not a word, but 42 her head. I took the box and carefully opened it. There inside, shining green, a fried marble hung from a golden chain. Then I looked into that eight-year-old 43 and saw the question in her dark brown eyes. 44 I knew she had made it for her mother, who had died just three weeks before and would never hold her or brush her hair or 45 her childish joys or sorrows. I meant 46 when I said in a low voice, “Oh, Maria, it is so beautiful. Your mother would love it.” Neither of us could stop the tears. She threw herself into my arms and we cried together. And for that moment I became her mother, for she had given me the greatest 47 of all: her trust and love. 36. A. candles B. cakes C. wonders D. cheese 37.

I also believe that we sometimes damage our well-planned thoughts about success because it is easier to just carry on as usual rather than try with the possibility of failure in mind. The main reason why most people never get moving is because they have no real idea about what they want. Without a certain result already set in your mind, it is really difficult to get going, and even if you do, your motivation (动力) may soon disappear and you give up before too long. Why not consider what is really important in your life? Write down what excites you, what would truly make you happy and what problems you have. At the end of the week, take a careful look at the notes you have taken. You will soon begin to see a clearer picture of what direction you should be heading. Knowledge is useless without action. You can read every book on any subject but your life will stay the same if you do not use that knowledge. This may seem clear but the reason why the self-help industry is thriving (繁荣的) is because people read and read and read but never use the information provided. Knowledge is fantastic but it is not life changing until used. I love to read personal development material to keep a positive attitude towards my life, but l also realize that if I dont set goals to achieve, then l will always be a talk the talk person who is great at giving advice but useless at realizing it. If you have no plans of practicing what you say, then it may he best to keep your mouth closed. Do yon want to know who
