Last week, our school     1    (hold) a basketball match against another school. Near the end of the match, they only had an advantage over us. When our captain got the ball, one of them pretended     2    (knock) into by him. Upon seeing that, our captain tried to help him up, but the match was over and they won. We lost the game.     3    , we were all satisfied with the result because we went all out.

From this match,I learn that being     4    winner doesn’t mean gaining while a loser doesn’t mean     5    (lose) everything. What really counts     6    (be) the spirit, not the result. As long as we try    7    (we) best, there is no need in regretting. In reality, a true loser is even more precious than a false winner. Without that match, I    8     have learned the importance of spirit.

To sum up,a true winner is to a match what water is to a fish. It is not the result but the process     9     matters. Life without spirit Is like sailing without a compass, so be a true winner and you will find its     10    (important).

A young man     1    (travel) through a desert when he came across a spring of clear water.The water was sweet.He filled his leather bag so that he could bring some back to     2     elder，who had been his teacher.After a journey of four     3     (day)，the young man finally     4     (bring) the water to him.The teacher took a deep drink，smiled     5     (warm)，and thanked his student very much for the sweet water.The young man went home     6     a happy heart.

After the student left，the teacher let another student taste the water.He spit it out，saying it was awful.In fact，it was no longer fresh because of the old leather bag.He asked his teacher，“Sir，the water was awful.Why did you seem     7     (enjoy) it？”The teacher answered，“You tasted the water.I tasted the gift.The water was not just water，    8     an act of kindness and love.Nothing could be     9    (sweet)．”

We understand this lesson best when we receive gifts of love from children.Whether     10     is a cheap pipe or a diamond(钻石) necklace，the proper response is appreciation(感激)．We love the idea within the gift rather than the thing itself.

While I was waiting for the bus I saw a homeless person carrying a sign     1     said he would like a cup of coffee.

As soon as I read it, I knew this task was meant for me. I joyfully ran across the street,     2     (think) that getting him a cup of coffee would be great. I     3    (buy) the coffee and approached him slowly. The closer I got, the more joy in his eyes I could see.

When I handed him the hot coffee, I     4    (simple) said “This is for you .” I could see so much joy in his face and even a tear. He kept thanking me, holding his coffee like the     5    (big) treasure in his life. It made me cry to see that a simple act of     6    (kind) could bring so much joy to others.

I walked back to my bus stop, and when the bus driver opened the door and I wanted     7     (pay) the bus fare, he waved me and said it had touched his heart to see me giving away that cup of coffee and    8     the fare was on him. This     9    (amaze)moment warmed my heart and it gave my day and my life     10     new start. It brings me such joy to love and share.

4 . Happiness has different meanings to different people. To some, it means     1     (surround) by families and friends and achieving success. To     2    , it can     3    (simple) mean a day without suffering or just being alive. However, how to find happiness is not easy, especially when you are in hard times. Sang Lan is     4     very good example of someone who is happy with her life, even when people expect her to be sad.

Sang Lan,    5     best event was the vault, was a happy and successful gymnast in China. She started winning     6    (competition) in 1991. Though her training means living apart from her parents, she was happy     7     (devote ) herself to gymnastics. In 1998, a small accident during her practice vaults at the Goodwill Games could     8     (cost) her future happiness. However, instead of crying about what she had lost and feeling     9     (hope), Sang Lan thought about what she could do to get better. When she went back to China, she studied broadcasting at Peking University and then hosted a sports programme about the 2008 Beijing Olympics. She believes that keeping busy     10    (help) her to stay positive.

5 . A blind boy sat on the steps of a building with a box by his feet. He held up a sign     1     (read), “ I am blind, please help.”     2     were only a few coins in the box. The boy felt sad. A man was walking by. He took out a few coins from his pocket and dropped them into the box. Then he took the sign, turned it around and wrote some words. He placed the sign     3     it had been so that everyone who walked by would see the new words. Soon the box was full     4     coins. A lot more people were giving money to the blind boy.

That afternoon, the man, by     5     the sign had been changed, came to see how things were. The boy    6     (recognize) his footsteps and asked, “Are you the one who changed my sign this morning? What did you write?” The man said, “ I     7     (simple) wrote the truth. I said what you said but in a     8    (difference) way.”    9     he had written was, “ Today is a beautiful day     10     I cannot see it.”

6 . Recently, an Internet slang word Foxi or “Buddhist” is becoming     1    (increase) popular as it encourages people, especially     2       young to remain calm and peaceful and avoid conflicts as much as possible, in other words, to live like a Buddha.

The phrase     3    (create) for the first time in 2014 in Japan to describe young men who no longer bother to start relationships with women or follow someone else’s life path. They prefer to stay in their own peaceful world without being disturbed and care little about passion and success.

In this fast-changing and competitive world, many people are     4     heavy pressure. It’s only natural that people are seeking for a spiritual bay. However, some would compare “foxi” with “demotivational（无动力的）culture”, a phrase     5     describes young people who feel aimless and powerless. They say that foxi actually     6     (reflect) the reality that young people are losing their will to fight. They are pretending     7     (keep) a healthy and wise attitude towards     8    (fail) simply because they are incapable（无能的）of succeeding.

All in all, there is one thing that “Buddhist Youngsters” should basically keep in mind: You may want to keep a calm mindset,     9     you should never stop     10     (fight) for yourselves！

When I was a kid, Mom used to cook food for us. One night after     1     (spend) a long hard day at work, Mom placed a plate of bread jam and     2     (extreme) burnt toast（烤面包） in front of my dad, I was waiting     3     (see) if he noticed it. However, while eating his toast. Dad just asked me     4     my day was at school. I don’t remember what I told him that night,    5     I do remember I heard Mom apologizing to Dad for burning the toast. I’ll never forget what Dad said, “Honey, I love burnt toast.”

Later that night, I     6     (go) to kiss Daddy good night and asked him if he really liked his toast burned. He gave me     7     big hug and said, “Your mamma put in a long hard day at work today, really     8     (tire). Besides, a burnt toast never hurts but cold words do!”

What I’ve learned over the years     9     (be) that learning to accept each other’s faults is one of the most important     10     (key) to creating a healthy, growing and lasting relationship.

8 . PASS YOUR LOVE ON

Waiting for the airplane to take off, I was happy to get a seat by myself. Just then,     1     air hostess approached me and asked, “Would you mind     2     (change) your seat? A couple would like to sit together.” The only possible was next to a girl with her arms in casts, a black-and-blue face, and a sad     3     (express). “No way am I going to sit there,” I thought     4     (immediate). But a soft voice spoke, “She needs help.” Finally, I decided to move to that seat.

The girl was named Kathy. She     5     (hurt) in a car accident and now was on her way for treatment.

When the snack and juice arrived, it did not take me long to realize     6     Kathy would not be able to feed herself. I considered offering     7     (feed) her but hesitated, as it seemed too impolite to offer a service to a stranger. But then I realized that Kathy’s need was more important than my discomfort. I helped her eat, and thought she was     8     (comfort) to accept, she did as I expected. We became closer and closer in a short period of time. By the end of the five-hour trip, my heart had warmed, and the time was really better spent than if I had just sat by myself.

Love sometimes flows beyond human borders and     9     (remove) the fears that keep us separate. When we offer to serve another, we grow to live in a larger and     10     rewarding world.

9 . When choosing a career, you should consider all the aspects of a job. Some jobs may seem very dull but are very important to society,     1     others can appear very exciting but are     2     (actual) very difficult and boring. One example is the so-called ‘glamorous job’ of being a model or     3     actor. Would you like     4     (be) famous, wear diamonds, go to parties and relax on cushions in private jets or helicopters? In reality, these people have to spend long hours travelling, with all their     5       (luggage) packed in suitcases or trunks, and only a very small number of them are successfully. Many actors, actresses and models hold ordinary,     6     (glamorous) jobs, often     7     (work) as waiters and waitresses, in order to support     8     (they). Meanwhile, those who are successful and famous have to deal with constant media attention. They are also     9     huge pressure to appear young and beautiful. Most actors and models are always on a diet, and many have had painful operations to make their faces and bodies look more attractive. It does not seem that glamorous now, does it? Maybe a career as a local grocer     10     (be) a better option.

10 . One day，a professor    1    (enter)the classroom and asked the students to take a surprise test.

As    2    （usual）.he handed out the exam papers.    3    everyone’s surprise. there were no questions-just a black dot in the center of the paper. The professor，    4    (see) the expressions on everyone’s faces，told them to write about what they see there.

At the end of the class，the professor started to explain：“I am not going to grade you. I just wanted to tell you not co focus on the black dot．ignoring the surrounding white However. in our daily lives most of us insist on laying great    5    (emphasize) on the black dot-the health issues and unfriendly people    6    bother us. and the lack of money. Actual1y, the dark spots are very small．when    7    (compare) to everything we have. but they are the    8    (one) that influence our minds．Don’t focus your eyes on the black dots.    9    . enjoy each one of your blessings and each moment that life    10    (give) you.
