Tom brought a box of biscuits to a summer camp, he ate a few and placed the rest under his bed. After lunch, he found the box was     1     (go). He went to tell his camp coach about it.

The next day, the coach saw a boy     2     (eat) Tom’s biscuit behind a tree. He came up with an idea     3     (solve) the problem. He found Tom and said to him, “I know who took away your biscuits. Will you help me to teach him     4     lesson?” “Well, yes,...are you going to punish him, sir?” Tom asked. “No, I am not.” The coach explained     5     (patient). That would only make him hate you. I want you to write to your mother and ask for more     6     (biscuit).

Tom received another box of biscuits by mail from his mother a few days later. “Now” said the coach. “Go and share them with the boy who stole your biscuit.”. Tom didn’t understand that the coach’s intention,     7     he still followed his    8     (advise). Half an hour later the coach saw the two boys come up the hill, arm in arm. The boy was trying to ask Tom to accept his toy robot in payment for the     9     (steal) biscuits. And Tom was refusing the gift from his new friend, he said that a few biscuits were not so     10     (importance).

In some situations. Forgiveness is better than punishment.

In ancient China lived an artist    1     paintings were almost lifelike. The artist’s reputation had made him proud. One day the emperor wanted to get his portrait (画像) done so he called all great artists to come and present their     2     (fine) work, so that he could choose the best. The artist was sure he would    3    (choose), but when he presented his masterpiece to the emperor’s chief minister, the old man laughed. The wise old man told him to travel to the Li River～perhaps he could learn a little from the greatest artist in the world.

Filled with     4     (curious), the artist packed his bags and left.     5     he asked the villagers on the banks of the river where he could find the legendary (传奇的) artist, they smiled and     6     (point) down the river. The next morning he hired a boat and set out     7     (find) the well-known painter. As the small boat moved,     8     (gentle) along the river he was left speechless by the mountains being silently reflected in the water. He passed milky white waterfalls and mountains in many shades of blue. And when he saw the mists rising from the river and the soft clouds    9     (surround) the mountain tops, he was reduced to tears. The artist was finally humbled (谦卑) by the greatest artist     10     earth, Mother Nature.
