In New York, on a Friday night, a poor young artist stood at the gate of a train station. He was playing his  16   .His music was so great that many people put money into his   17   .The next day, the young artist came to the   18   place, and played the violin as usual. Different from the day before, he took out a piece of paper and put   19   on the ground. The paper read ,“Last night ,a man named George Sang put an important thing into my hat  20   .Please come to get it soon.”   21   about half an hour, a(an)   22   man there in a hurry, “Oh ,it’s you. You did come here.” The young violinist asked   23   , “Are you Mr. George Sang?” “Yes! Yes!” Then the violinist asked, “Did you lose something?” “Lottery(彩票).It’s the most valuable lottery in my 70 years of life,” said the man.

The violinist   24   a lottery ticket. George Sang’s name was on it, so the violinist   25   it to him. Later someone asked the violinist, “Since you   26   play the violin every day to make your tuition (學(xué)費(fèi))in the university, why didn’t you keep the lottery ticket for yourself?” The violinist said, “   27    I don’t have much money, I live happily; But if I lose honesty, I won’t be happy forever.” Through our lives, we can get a lot and lose so   28   . But being   29   should always be with us. If we act in a dishonest way, we may   30    in a short period(短期). However, from the long-term view, we will be a loser.

Our English teacher was like a friend to us, and we all liked her. One day she came into the classroom and shouted,“Who did this?”She held up a piece of broken glass and asked,“Who ____16____ the window?”She seldom became angry.__17__ this time she was.

  I broke the window. I had done __18__ by throwing a baseball. I didn’t want to admit (承認(rèn)) it __19__ I didn’t have enough money to pay for a big window like that.“My father will be __20__,”I thought. At first I didn’t __21__ my hand, but later something strong in my heart suddenly made me stand up.“I did it,”I said __22__ .How difficult it was for me to say that!

  My teacher __23__ a book from one of our book shelves and then began walking __24__ my desk. I was afraid that she was going to punish(懲罰) me.

  “I know you like collecting __25__ very much,”she said, looking down at my __26__ face.“Here is the book about collecting stamps that you are looking for. Now, the book is __27__ and I shall not punish you. Remember, it’s because you __28__ the truth.”

  I couldn’t believe it! My teacher wasn’t punishing me. I didn’t __29__ to pay for the broken window. And I got my favourite book!

  As time goes, the book is __30__,so is my wonderful teacher. But I will never forget the lesson the teacher gave me that day.

When I was born, my doctor told my mother that there was something wrong with my 17 .  They were too soft to be able to walk. Although the news was bad, my mother didn't become  18 . She didn't believe what the doctor said  19 started to look for other ways.
My mother kept looking for other doctors for me, and finally she  20 . The doctor and his team in the hospital did   21 they could to help me. They also asked my parents to teach me to do some  22 to help me walk. One day when my mother came to pick me  23  . I crawled(爬) towards her. She was so surprised and happy that she couldn't believe  24  eyes. Crawling was not walking, but it was a good  25 . Day by day, I could walk by myself.
When I grew up, my mother   26  told me these stories. She said that if I thought of what she said whenever I met   27 , I could do anything successfully. I have been working hard and I have turned out to be a very   28  person. I get best   29 in school and I am a good dancer and swimmer. Thanks to my mother's strong resolution(決心), I live a    30   life now. What the story tells us, as my mother always says, is: Never give up.
