While Lobby Boy takes its name from a character in the film, the band doesn’t want to be known as anything reductive. But one of the film’s ideas that everyone in your life has the incredible power to tell their own story is     1    (amaze). “In my personal life, I try to remember that even if I’m struggling or having a conflict     2     someone, no matter what the interaction is, no matter how small or large it is, this is a story     3     is unfolding in front of me,” he says.

I have often thought it would be a blessing if each human being were stricken blind and deaf for a few days at some time during his early adult life.    1     (dark) would make him more appreciatively of sight; silence would teach him the joys of sound. I who am blind can give one hint to those     2     see: Use your eyes as if tomorrow you would be stricken blind. And the same method can     3     (apply) to the other senses. But of all the senses, I am sure that sight must be the most delightful.

Sixteen years ago, Jason was a college professor     1     a huge six-bedroom house and a fortune of two million dollars. A few years ago. he knew millions of people died of hunger every year, and there were places with no schools and no teachers. This worried him a lot and he felt guilty being a rich man without     2     (do)anything. Therefore, he gave away all his money to charities. “Success     3     (not measure)by how much money you have     4     by how you understand the true meaning of life.“ said Jason.

When I was a teenager, I felt that I was just young and uncertain,     1     I was a new boy in a huge school, and that I would have been very pleased to be regarded as something so interesting as a problem. For one thing,     2    (be) a problem gives you a certain identity, and that is one of the things the young are busily     3    (engage) in seeking.

I find young people exciting. They have an air of freedom, and they have not a dreary     4     (commit) to mean ambitions or love of comfort. They are not anxious social climbers, and they have no devotion to material things. All this seems to me to link them     5     life, and the origins of things.

Everyone has a sense of humor, but it’s pretty evident that not everybody has a good sense of it. Psychologists are divided on     1     humor is inborn or learnable. However, there is one thing that     2     (accept) universally so far — the sense of humor is uniquely human. It is associated with laughter and laughter is associated with happiness and courage. These are qualities     3     (share) with other forms of life. But if happiness is one of the goals     4     (chase) in life, then it is the sense of humor that provides the key.

My father always tells me not to gossip (八卦) about others behind their backs. When in middle school, I once     1     (compete) with another classmate, Amy, for the monitor. To gain an advantage, I invited some classmates to my home and gossiped a lot about Amy.    2     (hear) what I said, my father told me, “When your forefinger     3     (point) at others’ back, you have other three fingers pointing at     4     (you) and fighting back with triple power.”

Self-reliance is a significant element in being an independent person. When you can make decisions for yourself     1     relying on others to approve your choice, you are acting independently. A person     2     is self-reliant and makes decisions with confidence is going to find themselves being relied on. This can make them feel more valuable. However, people relying heavily on others for support     3     (see) as needy and demanding. These are not attractive features in someone's personality and might lend to losing friends.
