3．My friend Michelle is blind，but you'd never know it．She makes such good use of her other （21）A，including her"sixth sense"，that she rarely gives the impression that she's （22）Canything．
　　Michelle looks after her children pretty much like the rest of us，（23）Bthat she doesn't push too hard on them，（24）Areally benefit a lot from her relaxed attitude．She knows when to clean the house，and she moves around so fast that（25）Aoften don't realize she's blind．
　　I（26）Athis the first time after my six-year-old daughter，Kayla，went to play there．When Kayla came home，she was very（27）Cabout her day．She told me they had baked cookies，played games and done art projects．But she was（28）Aexcited about her finger-painting project．
"Mom，guess what？"said Kayla，all smiles．"I learned how to（29）Dcolors today!Blue and red make purple，and yellow and blue make green!And Michelle（30）Bwith us"．
　　To my great（31）B，my child had learned about color from a blind friend!Then Kayla continued，"Michelle told me my（32）Cshowed joy，pride and a sense of accomplishment．She really（33）Dwhat I was doing!"Kayla said she had never known how good finger paints felt（34）CMichelle showed her how to paint without looking at her paper．
　　I realized Kayla didn't know that Michelle was blind．It had just never（35）Bin conversation．When I told my daughter that Michelle was blind，she was（36）Bfor a moment．At first，she didn't believe me．"But Mommy，Michelle knew exactly what was in my picture!"Kayla （37）B．And I knew my child was（38）Abecause Michelle had listened to Kayla describe her art work．Michelle had also heard Kayla's（39）Cin her work．
　　We were silent for a minute．Then Kayla said slowly，"You know，Mommy，Michelle really did‘see'my picture．She just used my（40）B．"
　　Indeed，she uses a special type of"vision"that all mothers have．

2．Tony set off for home again without having eaten since，as usual，one of the older boys had taken his packed lunch．Angry and（36）C，Tony rushed to the park，when he suddenly saw a wasp（黃蜂） flying about among the rosebushes．It（37）Ahim，making him get away from the roses immediately．Then，a（38）Bcame into his head：How is it that something so much（39）A than himself could frighten him like that？
Having（40）C the insects for a while，he had a good understanding of the wasp's（41）B：it was fear．A wasp could never（42）Ca person，but everyone was so afraid of its sting that they left the wasp（43）A．So Tony spent that night（44）Dwhat his‘sting'could be．

1．A few years ago，a Thanks giving Day newspaper story told of a school teacher who asked her first graders to（11）Aa picture of something they were thankful for．She thought of how little these children from（12）C neighborhoods actually had to be thankful for．But she knew that most of them would draw pictures of turkeys on tables of（13）B．Suddenly she saw the picture Douglas handed in-a simple childishly drawn hand．
But whose hand？The whole（14）Dwas struck by the abstract image．
"l think it must be the hand of GOd that brings us food．"said one child．
"A farmer，"said another，"（15）B he grows the turkeys．"
Finally when the others were back at work the teacher （16）A Douglas's desk and asked whose  hand it was．
"It's your hand．Teacher，"he mumbled．
She（17）D that frequently at the breaks she had taken Douglas，a small，lonely child，by the  hand．She often did that with the children，but it（18）B so much to Douglas．Out of all the things he could have been thankful for Thanksgiving，he was most（19）C for his teacher's hand!
Perhaps from this story，we can learn that one of the most important things that you and I can give（20）Cis a hand that reaches out to them with love．

9．Wondering if you're overdue？Here are 4signs．It's time to rest and recharge yourself with a much-needed getaway，along with our suggestions of where to go．

Working Overtime Is Your Life If long hours are part of your job and you're not willing to find different work，book off some vacation days．Vacations give us something to look forward to when the daily hard work is weighing us down． •REST up at a destination spa （度假式水療）． •RECHARGE your batteries on a skiing vacation．

You've an Unhealthy Way of Life Only time can mend a broken heart，but spending time with your best friends may speed things along．Plan a girlfriends'getaway or guys'weekend immediately! •REST by the fountain at a hot see-and-be-seen LA boutique hotel． •RECHARGE on a shopping trip or at a non-stop party hotspot．

You're Nursing a Broken Heart   Though it's possible to kick bad habits like smoking or over-eating at home a trip abroad may make it a bit easier．On a vacation with healthy lifestyle habits at the centre，you're forced to focus on self-care in a way which would prove impossible at home． It's not enough to take care of your health on the rare occasion you can go on vacation： use vacations to kick-start a healthier lifestyle which is sustainable on a daily basis when you get back home． •REST a troubled mind at a yoga retreat． •RECHARGE energy levels by the sea．

You've Got No Skills Left To Improve  Challenging ourselves to carry out new tasks keeps our bodies and minds active．If you're an expert at everything and a newbie （新手） at nothing，it's time to move outside your comfort zone．Travel is renowned for providing that opportunity for growth． •REST your body while challenging your brain，by learning a language abroad． •RECHARGE yourself with a healing art like massage-therapy or a cooking course．

7．When Prime Minister Winston Churchill was young，he attended a public school called Harrow．He was not a （41）D student．As a matter of fact，he'd have been thrown out of the school，if he hadn't been the son of a famous leader．However，he （42）C his study at Harrow，went on to the university，and then had a successful （43）Bin the army．He later was elected Prime Minister and brought great honor to Britain．Toward the end of his period as Prime Minister，he was（44）Ato address the young boys at Harrow，his old （45）B．He gave this short but moving speech："Young men，never give up．Never give up!Never give up!（46）D!"

6．Your life is composed of all the little things we experience every day，and knowing how to find joy in some of those little things is one of the easiest ways to let happiness slowly fill your cup．In order for that to happen，you need to do two very simple things：put yourself in such situations that you can experience happiness there，and then find a way to savour the experience and let it sink into you．
To put yourself in the position of experiencing happiness every day，Lahna Catalino，Ph．D．，at the University of California，San Francisco，recommends an approach called"prioritizing positivity"-organizing your daytoday life on purpose so that it contains situations which naturally give rise to positive emotions．It involves both carving out time in your daily routine to do things that you really love and heavily weighing the positive emotional consequences of major life decisions，like taking a new job，and you will regularly find yourself．
Then how can we find a way to savour the happy experience and let it sink into you？Here is what psychologist Rick Hanson，the author of Buddha's Brain explains．
Let a good fact become a good experience．
Often we go through life and some good thing happens-a little thing，like we checked off an item on our To Do list，we survived another day at work，the flowers are blooming，and so forth．Hey，this is an opportunity to feel good．Don't leave money lying on the table：Recognize that this is an opportunity to let yourself truly feel good．
Really enjoy this positive experience．
Practice what any school teacher knows：If you want to help people learn something，make it as intense as possible-in this case，as felt in the body as possible-for as long as possible．
When sinking into this experience，sense your intention that this experience is sinking into you．
Sometimes people do this through visualization，like by sensing a golden light coming into themselves or a soothing balm inside themselves．You might imagine a jewel going into the treasure chest in your heart-or just know that this experience is sinking into you，becoming a resource you can take with you no matter where you go．
It might seem a little cliche（陳詞濫調(diào)） to say"stop and smell the roses，"but it's moments like those that can be stored in your happiness bank and withdrawn later．Living a happy life can be as simple as accepting the happiness that's already around you．If you want more，it's ok to go out and achieve it，but don't forget where happiness really comes from．

Let （71）Happiness Come Naturally With the"Little Things"
（72）How/Ways to let happiness come your way	●Put yourself in situations （73）where you experience happiness ●Find a way to savour the experience and let it sink into you．
Giving （74）priority to positive things	●Organize your everyday life （75）deliberately/intentionally/purposely to experience positive emotions． ●（76）Spare/Squeeze your time to do things you love as well as heavily weighing the positive emotional consequences．
Enjoying the experience and letting it sink into you	●Let a good fact become a good experience so that you have the （77）opportunity/chance to feel good． ●Really enjoy the positive experience as long as possible ●When sinking into this experience，be （78）aware/conscious of your intention so that it becomes a resource to take with you wherever you go．
（79）Conclusion（s）/Summary	●Happy moments like"stop and smell the roses"are （80）memorable/lasting/unforgettable/impressive． ●Living a happy life can be as simple as accepting the happiness already around you．
