Years ago, I lived in a building in a town. There was another building across from mine, and it was only a few metres away. There lived a woman whom I had never met. I could see her sit by the window each afternoon, drinking or reading.
Several months later, I noticed her window was very dirty. Everything was not clear through the window. I wondered why the woman didn't wash her window.
One sunny morning, I decided to clean up my apartment, including washing my windows. Late in the afternoon when I finished the cleaning, I sat down for a rest by the window. What a surprise! The woman sitting by her window was clearly seen! Her window was clean! Suddenly, I realized I had made a mistake. I was watching her through my dirty window all the time!
That was quite an important lesson for me. Since then, whenever I wanted to judge （判斷） someone, I asked myself first, "Am I looking at him through the dirty window of my heart? ”Then I try to clean the window of my own world so that I may see the world clearly.

One afternoon I toured an art museum while waiting for my husband to finish a business meeting. I was looking forward to a quiet viewing of the wonderful paintings.
A young couple were viewing the paintings in front of me and chatting with each other without stop. I watched them for a moment and noticed the man’s wife was doing all the talking. I was surprised to see that the man was so patient and could stand his wife’s words, but I still moved on.
I met them several times when I moved through the different rooms of art. Each time I heard she continued talking about the paintings, I moved away quickly.
I was buying some gifts in the museum shop when the couple came near to the gate. Before they left, the man reached into his pocket and pulled out something brown. He turned it into a long stick and then tapped(輕敲) his way into the coatroom to get his wife’s jacket.
“He’s a brave man,” a clerk beside me said. “Most of us would give up if we became blind at such a young age. During his treatment, he made a promise that his life wouldn’t change. So, as before, he and his wife come in whenever there’s a new art show.”
“But what does he get out of the art?” I asked. “He can’t see.”
“Can’t see? You’re wrong. He sees a lot , more than you or I do.” The clerk said, “His wife describes each painting, so he can see it in his head.”
I learned something about patience(耐心), courage and love that day. I saw the patience of a young wife describing paintings to a person who was blind and the courage of a husband who would not allow blindness to make his life different. And I saw the love shared by two people as I watched this couple walk away holding each other’s hands.
根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容填空，每空填一詞。
【小題1】When I stayed at the art museum, I ___________ to look at the wonderful paintings without any ___________.
【小題2】To my ___________, only the wife kept talking about the paintings all the time while her husband just listened to her ___________.
【小題3】 I didn’t realize that something was wrong with the young man’s ___________ until I noticed him using a long ___________ to trap his way.
【小題4】 The man can see each painting in his ___________ because his wife ___________ it to him.

閱讀下面短文，在表格內(nèi)的空白處填入合適的答案（每格限填一詞）。
Why you should think big  
If you have something valuable in mind, a service to offer, or an idea to develop, then you present it to everyone to increase its scope(范圍). Why not make full use of it?
The fact is, when you have a strong enough vision(遠(yuǎn)見), you may have the courage. And then you simply have to pursue it, however crazy it might seem to others.
Remember that everything starts small
Rome wasn’t built in a day. Everything starts small. Scientists say that everything in the universe came from a smaller unit than you can possibly imagine. So it doesn’t matter where you are at present, because from small beginnings come great things.
Think bigger by enlisting(爭取) others
To think big, you need to see yourself as a small part of a greater whole. Enlist people who are better than you. If you’re not the most organized person, don’t just be unhappy about it; find someone who is better.
Big thinkers know their personal limitations(局限性). Gather people around you who can do what you can’t do to make sure your dream grows.
Think big by focusing on future regrets(遺憾)
There is an old saying, “We regret not the things we did do, but the things we didn’t.” You’ll never know how far it could go unless you see how far you can take something.
If you have big plans, just close your eyes. And strongly imagine how regretful you will be if you don’t try or attempt properly.
Feel that it is your human duty to think big
When something is probably a real service to mankind, then it is a human duty to think and act big. Even if you don’t succeed at last, it is still valuable to think big.

Think Big
What thinking big means
If you have something valuable in mind, you should make full use of it.
You should try to pursue it with your    【小題1】.
How to train yourself to think big
Remember that every big thing starts from a   【小題2】 one.
It is not   【小題3】 where you are at present.
See yourself as a small part of a greater whole.
You should gather    【小題4】  people around you to make sure of the growing of your dream because everyone has shortcomings(缺點(diǎn)).
If you don’t try, you will never know how far your idea could go.
Imagine how much regret you will have if you give up your big plans.
It is a human duty to think big and it is   【小題5】  trying.

Twenty years ago, I drove a taxi for a living. One night I went to pick up a passenger at 2:30 AM. When I arrived there, I walked to the door and knocked, “Just a minute,” answered a weak, elderly voice.
After a long pause, the door opened. A small woman in her eighties stood before me. By her side was a small suitcase.
When we got into the taxi, she gave me an address, and then asked, “Could you drive through downtown?”
“It’s not the shortest way,” I answered quickly.
“Oh, I’m in no hurry,” she said. “I’m on my way to a hospice(臨終醫(yī)院). I don’t have any family left. The doctor says I don’t have very long.”
I quietly reached over and shut off the meter(計(jì)價(jià)器).
For the next two hours, we drove through the city. She showed me the building where she had once worked, the neighborhood where she had lived, and the furniture shop that had once been a ballroom where she had gone dancing as a girl.
Sometimes she’d ask me to slow down in front of a special building and would sit staring into the darkness, saying nothing.
In the early morning, she suddenly said,” I’m tired. Let’s go now.”
We drove in silence to the address she had given me.
“How much do I pay you?” she asked.
“Nothing.” I said.
“You have to make a living,” she answered. “Oh, there are other passengers,” I answered.
Almost without thinking, I gave her a hug(擁抱). She held on me and said, “You gave an old woman a little moment of joy.”
【小題1】The old woman chose to ride through the city in order to ______.

A．show she was familiar with the city
B．see some places for the last time
C．let the driver earn more money
D．reach the destination on time
【小題2】The taxi driver did not get the money because he ______.
A．wanted to give her a hand
B．shut off the meter by mistake
C．had received her payment already
D．was in a hurry to take other passengers
【小題3】What can we learn from the story?
A．No pains, no gains.
B．People should respect(尊重) each other.
C．An act of kindness can bring people great joy.
D．People should learn to enjoy our life.

Have you ever complained（抱怨）why life is so tiring? Are your studies sometimes not successful? Well, friends, cheer up and smile all the time . If you see the world with your warm heart, you will find that the whole world smiles to you.
While in school, sometimes you are tired of your lessons, but have you ever noticed the happy smile on your teacher’s face when you did a good job?
One day it is fine . Just before you want to go out, it suddenly starts to rain . Maybe you would feel very sad and start complaining about the weather . But dear friends, why don’t you sit down and listen to the free concert that the nature offers you? And with the timely rain, crops in the fields will grow better and better and farmers will have a good harvest .
Although everyone wants to succeed in what he tries to do, sometimes failure can’t be avoided . I think failure(失敗) is not terrible, and the terrible thing is that we are afraid of it and give up hope. When we face failure, we must be confident in ourselves, draw a useful lesson from it and try our best to finish what we have decided to do. As a popular saying goes, “Failure is the mother of success.”
Attitude（態(tài)度）decides everything. With an optimistic（樂觀的）attitude life is easy and pleasant. Let’s smile to whatever we meet and the whole world will smile to us.
