入库时间：2017-10-16I know I’m not perfect. But I think there is a(n) 41 side of my own weaknesses and faults, for they seem to bring joy to others.
Or maybe it’s just that I underestimate the importance of my own 42 . I might be the man who was driving a car with a(n) 43 that read, “Hang up and drive.” A police officer was 44 to see the sign, as she had witnessed too many 45 caused by motorists talking on cell phones. Wanting to show her agreement to the driver, she pulled up alongside the car. But she was 46 to see the car driver shaving.
Maybe it is just 47 to tell the weaknesses in others. It’s like the camel. An African proverb states, “The camel 48 sees its own hump(驼峰), but that of its brother is always before its 49 ” I probably don’t see my own humps very 50 .
So I can 51 the story of an elderly couple who, while on a car trip, stopped at a roadside restaurant for lunch. The woman left her 52 on the table. Her husband 53 all the way back to the restaurant about her 54 leaving her glasses behind. They eventually arrived, and the woman got out of the car to get her eye glasses, the old man said, “ 55 you’re there, you may as well get my hat, too”.
Everything that annoys us about others can lead us to a(n) 56 of ourselves. The humps we can’t help but seeing in others are 57 like the humps others see in us. Or, perhaps they are like the humps we see in ourselves.
So, what would happen if we’d 58 other people’s faults and humps as a gift? After all, they’re 59 us about ourselves. And that’s what makes us 60 from camels and we can make some changes.

The more I thought about it, the 47 I got. Finally, I 48 a picture of Trisha and drew lines on her face. I wrote, “I 49 this person” across the bottom. And then I did something I’ll always 50 : I put it on a website I thought was 51 . I thought people would see it, and it felt good to vent (发泄).

入库时间：2017-09-20Do parents owe their kids anything? Starting from my position, parents do not owe their children a 16 education. If they can 17 it, they can 18 send them to the best universities. But they must not feel guilty if they can’t. If the children really want to go, they’ll find a 19 . There are plenty of loans (贷款) and scholarships for the bright and 20 ones who can’t afford to pay.
When children grow up and
want to 21 , their parents do not owe them a down payment on a house. They do not have the 22 
to baby-sit their grandchildren. If they want to do it, it must be considered a 23 not a responsibility.
Do parents owe their children anything? Yes, they owe them a great deal.
One of their duties is to give their children a personal 24 . A child who is constantly made to feel stupid and unworthy, constantly 25 to brighter brothers, sisters, or cousins will be so 26 , so afraid of failing that he (or she) won’t try at all. Of course they should be 27 corrected when they do wrong, but it’s often better to let children learn their mistakes by themselves 28 . All our parents should do is to trust them, respect them, tolerate (宽容) them and give them chances to try and fail. They must learn to stand 29 . When criticisms (批评) are really needed, they should be 30 with praises, with a smile and a kiss. That is the way children learn.
Parents owe their children a set of solid values around 31 they build their lives. This means teaching them to 32 the rights and opinions of others; it means being respectful to elders, to teachers, and to the law. The best way to teach such values is by 33 . A child who is lied to will lie. A child seeing no laughter and no love in the home will have 34 laughing and loving.
No child asks to be 35 . If you bring a life into the world, you owe the child something.

入库时间：2017-09-06As a child, I started learning to play the piano, my favorite musical 41 ,but I was forced to give up when I started my middle school 42 I could concentrate more on my studies.
It’s one of my biggest 43 to stop practicing the piano when I recall sadly today. During the following years, I kept telling my piano teacher that I would 44 . However, I didn’t keep my promise because I was 45 with my study. 46 I lost touch with my teacher. Some years later, my teacher died. I was very sad because I lost such a good teacher. She was a very warm and gentle person. It hurts me to think she may have been 47 that I never returned. I haven’t taken lessons since then but to be honest, I 48 to.

I was so 51 that I could hardly say anything. But her 52 helped me ease my shame. These memories, 53 , good or bad, never caused my 54 for playing the piano again.
This thought then led me to think that 55 is like music, and that we all try to play different 56 in the instrument of our life. Sometimes the pitch(音高) is 57 when we play it well, but sometimes we are out of tone. However, we all continue to create our own 58 style of music. No matter what style our music is, it is 59 that we sing the songs of joy, quietness and love. Though I may never make it back to piano lessons, it doesn’t 60 that I’ve stopped making music.

入库时间：2017-08-20Last Friday when Jose Rodriguez , a 5-year-old white boy, asked his mother Lydia Rodriguez if he could get his blonde hair cut like his black friend Reddy’s, and of course his mother agreed. For a very 36 reason the two pre-school friends decided to 37 their teacher with matching haircuts.

“It is just two 41 boys. Obviously, they see they are different colors, they just don’t care. It is not 42 , Rodriguez said. She sees Jose’s inability to see a 43 between himself and his friend as a parenting win. “I just taught him to 44 everyone the same,” she said.
The teacher played along and 45 she was talking to Jose when Reddy arrived before Jose, he told the teacher and his 46 he was Jose.
On Monday, Rodriguez 47 the story on the Facebook.78,000 people 48 it and the story has gone viral（疯传）. On the post she wrote: “If this isn’t proof that 49 and prejudice is something that is 50 , I don’t know what is. Their 51 is the only difference Jose sees in the two of them. Though Jose loves 52 himself on TV and the Internet, he remains unsure why his haircut became such a big 53 .
“He still has no idea why people 54 so much”, Rodriguez said. “He wanted to 55 Reddy and now he thinks they look the same.”

入库时间：2017-08-15Why do people go to university? There is a popular notion that a college education is something to be endured in order to become __41___to obtain certain kinds of jobs or to go to graduate school. This is not what we are trying to do at Harvard, nor would we wish to have many students here who took such a(n)___42___view of a college career. There are several goals we aim to reach in our undergraduate program.
The most obvious one is to give knowledge—fairly___43___knowldege in one field and a more general knowledge of a variety of other subject areas which you may choose according to your interest. But if acquiring knowledge is a self-evident part of a college education, it is __44___the most important. Remarkably few of the facts you learn here will remain in your___45___for many years, and some of those that do will even be proved ___46___by new knowledge.
__47___, we can instill(灌输)certain attitudes of mind-a willingness to accept uncertainly and the lack of definite truths; independence of mind, and a respect for facts and for the uncomfortable conclusions which facts sometimes lead to.
In addition to these ___48___qualities, a college education should try to lay a foundation for the creative use of ___49___time. Some of this capacity can be stimulated in the classroom—in courses in the humanities and the arts. Yet, at least as much __50___will occur outside the lecture hall---on athletic fields, in music rooms, student theaters, concert hails, and so forth.
These are some of the __51___of a liberal college education as I see them. I cannot resist concluding with a few private thoughts about our new careers at Harvard.
To begin with, I hope that we will think__52___about what we want to accomplish here. It would be __53___for you to set your sights on some limited goal, such as getting good grades or merely getting into one or another graduate school.
Second, I hope that you will give some thought to what you can do for others during your stay here. There are many problems waiting for your help, and many people who could __14___your efforts.
My final bit of advice. Whatever else we do, let us remember not to take ourselves too seriously. However great our problems may seem, however urgent our complaints, they are overshadowed(黯然失色)by the __55__of countless other people on our planet.

入库时间：2017-06-14Teaching anyone to think of others before themselves is, I believe, a life-long effort. For me right
now, it might mean not buying that extra shirt or a cup of coffee and 41 saving the money to help someone 42 . For my kids, it might mean sharing 43 , happily taking turns in the playground. I like to 44 thinking of others and finding a way to help them as “kindness”.
On this particular day, instead of 45 a lot of money on a lunch out in the restaurant, we bought some 46 little toys to give to strangers. I asked the boys 47 they would like to give these toys to other children. At first they were disappointed because they wanted to 48 them. This wasn’t surprising----I knew that if my mom bought a whole lot of great shirts which I thought were for me, and then said she wanted to give them away, I might at first be a bit 49 , too. So we 50 them and my oldest child 51 we keep one and give the others away to make others happy. We 52 this was a good idea and then they started to get excited about the 53 of giving them away, asking me who they could give them to and how.
We 54 some slips of paper, punched(开洞) a hole, 55 them to the little dolls, and then headed out for the local mall.
The boys were very excited to be on their way to 56 the toys, and I admitted I was a bit 57 . What would the parents think as we gave their child a toy? Would they be 58 , or not like the gift? But I took some deep 59 and realized that if we are doing something out of love, we can only give with open 60 and accept whatever is to come.

入库时间：2017-05-15Back in business school, macho(自以为是的) kids like me studied finance. In the competition of life, money 21 winning, so those who managed the money would become the 22 . Didn't matter that I was a woman - I was as 23 as any guy you'd ever met.
It's taken me a lot of years, a lot of living, to 24 that my view of the world was upside down. The reality is: finance is for wimps(呆子). Finance is the easy part. However, It's much 25 to deal with people. The winners in society are the people who understand how to 26 other people.
In my 20s, I worked really hard. I 27 name-brand schools and piled on the degrees. I was 28 on my climb to the top as a successful real-estate developer. I worked full-time as I was studying, because I was 29 .
Then when I was 31, I got to the top in a way that I 30 imagined possible. I was 31 Deputy Mayor of Los Angeles. In that 32 , I collaborated with leaders from all sectors of society.
When our four-year term came to a 33 , I moved to another world of power and money, as a headhunter for CEOs and other 34 talent for the world's biggest companies.
As a result of all these 35 , I've had the chance to meet, befriend, and work with leaders from all sectors in countries throughout the world.
And here's what I've learned: the leaders are not the 36 IQ people in any organization. They didn't get the highest grades, they didn't 37 the highest exam scores. They got to the top 38 they have the ability to attract the best people to work for them. And at the root of that power of attraction is empathy(同感能力). Empathy is the ability to truly connect with other human beings. It's life's hardest but most 39 skill. And it's the skill 40 for leadership in a changing world.

Actually,attitude is a creative cycle that includes thoughts,feelings and 44 .Under certain circumstances,you do choose your thoughts about them,and your attitude 45 these thoughts .As you become emotionally involved with your thoughts,you create the second stage in 46 an attitude;you move your entire being---mind and body---into a new “vibration（颤动）”.Your 47 of this vibration is your feelings,which are then expressed in behavior that produces 48 results in your life.Attitude and results cannot be considered 49 .They follow one another like night follows day.A common term called the Law of Cause and Effect is always used to distinguish their relationship.One is the cause,and the other is the result.Simply stated, 50 you think in a positive attitude,you will achieve positive results,and the 51
situation is also true.Therefore,your attitudes 52 the results you achieve in life.
There are some people who 53 this world with a wrong attitude.For them,life is full of
54 ,limitation and unfairness.They live 55 in this world,as if they nove from one unpleasant experience to another.When facing challenges,these individuals choose to 56 other people and circumstances rather than accept responsibilities and deal with the difficulties.However,others who have a(n) 57 attitude towards life seem to live a good life.They are the real winners in life and their successes are just a matter of 58 .So take a close look at your attitude and 59 the results you have got in life to see whether 60 is important.
