Once, there lived a poor man in a small village. He was very clever but didn't want     1    (work) at all. He lived on     2     the villagers gave him every day. One day he got a basket of eggs     3       a kind lady. He began to think that he would save eggs until they were in short supply. Then he could earn a small amount of money by     4     (sell) them at a-very good price. And then he would buy a couple of goats.   Very soon, he would have     5     large group of goats. The goat milk would bring him much more money. With the money, he would buy a cow.    6     (it)milk would bring him a lot of money. He would become much    7    (rich ), build a big house and marry a pretty woman. They would have a lot of     8     (child). While he was lost in thought,     9    (unlucky ), he fell over a stone and all the eggs dropped onto the ground. He was very sad. That     10     (bring) an end to the man's beautiful dream.

One day, Nick invited his friends to supper. He was cooking some delicious food in the kitchen. Suddenly, he    1    (find)that he had run out of salt. So Nick called to his son, "Go to the village and buy some salt, but pay a fair price for it: neither too much    2    too little. "

His son looked surprised. "I can understand why I shouldn't pay too much, Father, but if I can pay less,     3    not save a bit of money? "

"That would be a very    4    (reason)thing to do in a big city, but it could destroy a small village like ours," Nick said.

Nick's guests,     5    had heard their conversation, asked why they should not buy sale more cheaply if they could. Nick replied, "The only reason a man would sell sale    6    a lower price would be because he was desperate for money. And anyone who took advantage of that situation would be showing a lack of respect    7    the sweat and struggle of the man who worked very hard to produce it."

"But such a small thing couldn't    8    (possible)destroy a village."

"In the beginning, there was only    9    very small amount of unfairness in the world, but everyone added a little, always    10    (think)that it was only small and not very important, and look where we have ended up today. "

When someone has deeply hurt you, it can be very difficult to let go of your anger. But forgiveness is possible—and it can be surprisingly     1    (benefit) to your physical and mental health. So far, research has shown that people who forgive can have more energy and     2    (good) sleep.

So when someone has hurt you, cool down first. Take a couple of breaths and think of something that     3    (give) you pleasure：a beautiful scene in nature, or someone you love. Don’t wait for     4    apology. “Many times the person who hurts you may never think of     5    (apologize), ” says Dr. Frederic Luskin     6    wrote the book Forgive for Good. “They may have wanted to hurt you     7    they just don’t see things the same way. So if you wait for people     8    (say) sorry, you could be waiting a very long time. ”

Next keep in mind that forgiveness does not    9    (necessary) mean accepting the action of the person who upsets you. Instead, learn to look for the love, beauty and     10    (kind) around you. Finally, try to see things from the other person’s position. You may realize that he or she was acting out of carelessness.
