When you find that almost everything goes wrong and there is nothing you can say or do, what will you do     1     (make) it right? You might make excuses (借口) like a thing you didn’t do or     2     job you didn’t finish. However, excuses can’t make any difference. Now let me tell you a short story. I think     3     will show you the power (影响) of not making excuses.

Before     4     (read) the story, I saw a picture. In it, a man is wearing different socks and shoes. It isn’t a fashion show. It is the 1912 Olympic Games, and the man is Jim Thorpe. On the morning of his matches, his shoes were lost.     5     (luck), he found two shoes in a dustbin (垃圾箱). However, one of the     6     (shoe) was much bigger than the other, so he had to wear one more sock. Wearing these shoes, Jim     7     (win) gold medals that day.

So what are you going to do     8     you meet problems? Remember, no matter what happens     9     you, don’t let it stop you from running your race. You can experience more in your life if you don’t make excuses and try your     10     (good).

    1     [ˈsevrəl] months ago, my husband and I were on an island for a long weekend with our five-year-old twin daughters. “We want to go to the butterfly museum,” said Emily and Hanna.

As soon as we walked into the main area of the museum, we saw thousands of beautiful     2     . They all flapped (拍打) their colorful wings. My girls were jumping up and down, and I knew we had made the right decision to come to the museum. They were having     3     much fun that they couldn’t help laughing all the way.

I turned to our museum tour guide     4     I was curious (好奇的), and asked, “How long do butterflies live?”She said: “About ten days.” “What can the butterfly do     5     ten days?” I asked. The guide stopped to     6     [ɪkˈspleɪn] to me, “They make the world a more beautiful place.” “Wow,” I said, “I have never     7     (think) about butterfly like that. Thank you.”

After we said goodbye, I couldn’t stop thinking about what the guide had said. She was right. We all have something to     8     [prəˈvaɪd] the world with the time we have. When we focus our gifts on taking care of each other every day, we can make a     9     (different).

Appreciate(感激) the effect you can have on your family, friends, co-workers and neighbors. Like a butterfly, you have your own way of making the world a much     10     (good) beautiful for everyone.

Today, I’m going to share a story with you. So far, I     1     (read) it many times.

Long long ago, there was a man living in a village with his wife. One day, they found their hen laid (下蛋) a golden egg. The man     2     (sell) the golden egg and the family lived a rich life.     3     the man was very greedy (贪婪的) . The more money he had, the     4     (many) eggs he wanted. He even wanted to get all the golden eggs from his hen at a time. So, he thought hard and he got a plan in the end. He decided     5     (kill) the hen and get all the eggs. He didn’t want to tell his wife about the plan, because he wanted to give her     6     big surprise. He was so     7     (excite) about his great plan. He even sang     8     (happy) when he thought of the hen.

The next day when the hen was laying a golden egg, the man took a knife and cut     9     (it) body open. However, there weren’t any eggs at all!

Their life used to be easy and     10     (comfort) with one golden egg a day, but it changed a lot. How stupid he was!

One day a snake was looking for food. She f    1     a hole and went into it. “Hooray! It was a house for mice,” She said to h    2     happily. There, she saw some little babies of mice. “I’ll have fun h    3     a big meal!”

She came to them and asked, “Where are your parents?” The babies answered, “They went out for food.” “Good!” said the snake. “Listen, I came here to see your parents and t    4     them not to steal (偷) people’s grain any m    5    , or I will kill you all.” The little mice worried about their own safety. “Don’t be a    6    . My body is like the hole. It is a safe place. W    7     I open my mouth, you can come into it one by one. Then we will wait for your parents coming back. Are you clear?” The little babies came into the snake from her mouth one by one.

A moment l    8    , the mice’s parents came back with some grain. Just then they found a snake in their room. “Who are you? Why did you come into our house? Where are our babies?” The snake answered in a l    9     voice, “Your babies have been in my body. Don’t you want to see them?” W    10     these words, the snake flew at the mice.
