I was often told by my mother and grandmother that worrying is not only a sin（罪过), but    1     waste of time.

I    2     (start) worrying when I was four, the day my brother Joe was born prematurely ( 早产 )and hairless. He spent weeks in an incubator( 恒 温 箱 ), after    3     we were told he might never walk and was totally blind.

For Joe, things often seemed to go from bad to    4     (bad). Going to school meant leaving home as a little boy to live in a dorm.     5     (find)a job and a sense of independence would prove     6     (near) impossible.

He lives alone now in public housing.But for every heartache and disappointment, Joe has said thanks .He has taught me    7     example that gratitude builds hope. If we are mindful（ 想 着 ） of all the ways that we have been blessed, it's easier to believe we    8    （bless）again.

We need to see clearly like my brother--not with our eyes,     9     with our hearts. Gratitude is a light that shines in the soul, turning worry into hope, fear into joy, weakness into    10     (strong) and worriers into warriors.

Bazette is a good doctor at our local hospital. One day, he got off work as usual. On     1     (he) way back, he came across a horrible scene. Two     2     (truck) stuck together. The smaller truck went under the broken air brakes (刹车) of the bigger one. The man driver of the smaller truck was alive, but his legs were stuck inside his truck.

Over an hour’s time, the local firefighters     3     (brave) tried to cut away the door of his truck, and lifted the back of the bigger truck. By this means, they gained the access     4     the driver. During the entire time, Dr. Bazette was actively on duty, supporting and comforting the scared driver. After the driver     5     (free), his body broke down and fainted (昏倒). Then Dr. Bazette busied himself helping.

In the Life Flight ambulance, Dr. Bazette did first aid on the driver for over 20 minutes, and brought him back to life in preparation for the quick journey back to the local hospital,     6     Dr. Bazette had just finished his work earlier in the evening: In     7     next hour, Dr. Bazette assisted the team of doctors in     8     (calm) down the driver, thus saving his life.

A passer-by shared this in her article and praised Dr. Bazette’s virtue in our district newsletter. His     9     (respond) to the praise he received was like this: “When I am     10     (call) to act, I’m all in.”
