Sometimes people come into your life and you know right away that they were meant to be there, to serve some sort of1 , teach you a lesson, or to help you figure out who you are or who you want to become. You2 know who these people maybe (possibly your roommate, neighbor, co-worker, long lost friend, lover, or even a complete stranger), but when you lock eyes with them, you know at that very moment they will affect your life in some 3 way.
And sometimes things happen to you that may seem horrible, painful. and unfair at first, but __4__you find that without overcoming those obstacles you would have never realized your potential, strength, willpower, or heart.
Everything happens for a reason. Nothing happens5 or by means of good luck. Illness, injury, love, lost moments of true greatness and sheer stupidity all occur to test the limits of your soul. 6 these small tests whatever they may be, life would be like a smoothly paved, straight, flat road to nowhere. It would be safe and comfortable, but dull and utterly7 . The people you meet who affect your life, and the success and downfalls you experience, help to create who you are and who you become.
Even the8 experiences can be learned from. In fact, they are probably the most poignant and important ones. If someone hurts you, 9 you, or breaks your heart, forgive them, for they have helped you learn about trust and the importance of being cautious when you open your heart. If someone loves you, love them back10 , not only because they love you, but because in a way, they are teaching you to love and how to open your11 and eyes to things.
Make every day count. 12 every moment and take from those moments everything that you possibly can for you may never be able to experience it again. Talk to people that you have never talked to before, and actually listen. Let yourself fall in love, break free, and set your sights high. Hold your head up because you have13 right to. Tell yourself you are a great individual and believe in yourself, for if you don’t believe in yourself, it will be hard for others to believe in you. You can make of your life anything you wish. Create your own life and then go out and live it with absolutely no 14 .
Most importantly, if you LOVE someone, tell him or her, for you never know what tomorrow may have15 . And learn a lesson in life each day that you live.
That’s the story of life.

“Leave him alone,” I shouted as I walked out of the orphanage(孤儿院) gate and saw several of the Spring Park School bullies(欺负弱者的人) pushing the deaf kid around. I did not know the boy at all 36 I knew that we were about the same age, because of his size. He lived in the old white house across the street from the orphanage where I 37 . I had seen him on his front covered entrance several times doing absolutely nothing, except just sitting there making funny hand movements.
In the summer time we didn’t get much to eat 38 Sunday supper, except watermelon and then we had to eat it behind the dining room so we would not make a mess on the 39 inside. The only time that I would see him was through the high chain-link fence that surrounded the 40 when we ate our watermelon outside.
The deaf kid started making all kinds of hand 41 , really fast. “You are a stupid idiot,” said the bigger of the two bullies 42 he pushed the boy down on the ground. The other bully ran around behind the boy and kicked him as hard as he could in the back. The deaf boy’s body started 43 all over and he curled up in a ball trying to protect and hide his face. He looked like he was trying to cry, or something but he just couldn’t make any 44 .
I ran as fast as I could back through the orphanage gate and into the thick bushes. I uncovered my home-made bow which I had 45 out of bamboo and string. I grabbed four arrows that were also made of bamboo. Then I ran back out the gate with an arrow lifted in the 46 and I just stood there quietly, breathing really hard just 47 either one of them to kick or touch the boy again.

As the pace of life continues to increase, we are fast losing the art of relaxation. Once you are in the habit of rushing through life, being on the go from morning till night, it is hard to 36 down. But moderate relaxation is necessary for a healthy mind and body.
Stress is a 37 part of everyday life and there is no way to 38 it. In fact, it is not the bad thing that it is often supposed to be. A certain amount of stress is important to provide motivation and give 39 to life. It is only when the stress gets out of control that it can lead to poor performance and ill health.
The amount of stress a person can bear 40 very much on the individual. Some people are not afraid of stress, and such 41 are obviously chief material for managerial responsibilities. Others lose heart at first 42 of unusual difficulties. When exposed to stress, in whatever form, we react both chemically and physically. In fact we make a choice between 43 and fight. And in more ancient days the choices made the 44 between life and death. The crises we meet today are unlikely to be so extreme, but however little the stress, it requires the same response. It is when such a reaction 45 long, through continued exposure to stress, that health becomes _ 46 . Such serious conditions as high blood pressure and heart diseases have 47 links with stress. Since we cannot remove stress from our lives we need to find ways to deal with it. It would be unwise to do so even if we could.
So what do you think of stress? What is your way to deal with it?

Maja Kazazic thought she’d never walk without pain again before she saw the dolphin Winter with an artificial tail. For a long time, she had been 36 the injured dolphin which swam around the tank. From a distance, the dolphin seemed approachable enough. Still, as Kazazic prepared herself for the jump, a little 37 crept into (开始影响) her excitement. Despite her fear, she felt strong with her 38 leg.
Several years ago, Kazazic 39 her five-year-old cousin Jasmina because of an incurable disease.

I could feel everything but couldn’t make a sound.” Her wound became infected due to lack of medicines. Two years later, Kazazic got a new leg.
“After being in a dangerous war zone, this should be pretty easy,” Kazazic said before she 45 herself in the tank. She held out a hand to Winter, who 46 cautiously, then moved away. After a few minutes, Winter let Kazazic touch her back and nuzzled(用鼻子轻触)up to her shoulder. The two started an hour-long swim.
She would have shouted with joy 47 she quietly explained, “I used to feel like I owed somebody something, and now I’ve paid my debt.” Out in the parking lot, she made a joyful and excited cry until her voice was hoarse.

Though the bus stopped about two miles from home, Dad never met me, even in bad weather. So when I went away to college, I knew I was in for a long 36 whenever I came home. The walk didn't bother me as much as the fear of walking alone along the highway and country roads. I felt less than valued that my father didn't seem concerned about my 37 . That feeling was canceled one spring evening.

On that particular evening, the hedge had just come into view 41 a gentle rain began to fall. Suddenly I saw something 42 moving fast along the top of the hedge, moving toward the house. Upon closer observation, I realized it was the top of my father’s head. Then I knew 一 each time I came home, he had stood 43 the hedge, watching, until he knew I had arrived safely.

This is a true story about something that happened between a customer of General Motors and its Customer - Care Executive (客服主管).The following complaint was received by General Motors. "???It may sound crazy, but it's a fact that every time I buy a 36 ice cream, and come back from the store, my car won't start. If I get any other kind of ice cream, the car starts 37 fine, why?" The executive was 38 about the letter, but sent an engineer to check it out anyway.
The 39 made three visits to the store with the customer. The first time, he got chocolate ice cream. The car started. The second time, he ordered strawberry. The car started.

Time was now the 44 not the vanilla ice cream! The engineer quickly put forward an answer: “engine trouble." The extra time taken to get any other flavor 45 the engine to cool down longer. When the man got vanilla, the engine was still too hot to start.

I remember my dad teaching me the power of language at a very young age. Not only did he understand that specific 36 can affect our mental pictures, but he understood that words are a 37 programming factor in lifelong success.
One particularly unforgettable event occurred when I was eight. As a child, I was always climbing trees, poles and 38 around upside down from the rafters(屋椽) of our lake house. 39 , it came to no surprise for my dad to find me at the top of a 30-foot tree, swinging back and forth. My little eight-year-old 40 didn’t realize that the tree could break or I could get hurt. I just thought it was enjoyable to be up so high. My older cousin, Tammy, was also hanging in the same tree. Her mother also 41 us at exactly the same time as my dad did. About that time, a huge gust(一阵) of wind blew through the tree. I could hear the leaves rustle(嘎嘎地响) and feel the tree begin to sway. I remember my dad’s 42 over the wind, “Bart, Hold on tightly!”So I did.
The next thing I heard was Tammy’s mother yelling, “Tammy, don’t fall!” Tammy did 43________ . My dad later explained to me that the mind has a very44 time processing a negative image. It takes seventeen positive statements to offset(抵消) one negative statement. That means it might 45 seventeen compliments(贺词/道贺) to offset the emotional 46 of one criticism.
These are concepts that are especially useful in developing yourself. How many compliments do you give yourself daily and how often do you criticize yourself?

In the 1960s, Douglas McGregor, one of the key thinkers in the art of management, developed the mow famous Theory X and Theory Y. Theory X is the idea that people instinctively work and will do anything to avoid it. Theory Y is the view that everyone has the potential to find satisfaction in work.
In any case, despite so much evidence to the , many managers still agree to Theory X. They believe, , that their employees need constant supervision if they are to work effectively, or that decisions must be imposed from without consultation. This, of course, makes for authoritarian (专制的) managers.
Different cultures have different ways of people. Unlike authoritarian management, some cultures, particularly in Asia, are well known for the consultative nature of decision-making—all members of the department or work group are asked to to this process. This is management by the collective opinion. Many western companies have tried to imitate such Asian ways of doing things, which are based on general . Some experts say that women will become more effective managers than men because they have the power to reach common goals in a way that traditional managers cannot.
A recent trend has been to encourage employees to use their own initiative, to make decisions on their own without managers first. This empowerment (授权) has been part of the trend towards downsizing: the number of management layers in companies. After de-layering in this way, a company may be with just a top level of senior managers, front-line managers and employees with direct contact with the public. Empowerment takes the idea of delegation (委托) much further than has been the case. Empowerment and delegation mean new forms of management control to that the overall business plan is being followed, and that operations become more profitable under the new organization, rather than less.
Another trend is off-site or management, where teams of people linked by e-mail and the Internet work on projects from their own houses. Project managers evaluate the of the team members in terms of what they produce for projects, rather than the amount of time they spend on them.

Those days I’ve prepared to complete my college degree. The last project was named “smile”, which required us to go out and smile at three people and 36 their reactions.
It was freezing. My friend and I went out to a fast food restaurant. We were standing in line, waiting to be 37 , when all of a sudden people around us began to back away from their position.
As I 38 I smelt a terrible “dirty body” smell, and there standing behind me were two poor homeless men. As I looked down at the short gentleman close to me, he was smiling and his nice sky – blue eyes searched for 39 .
To sit in the restaurant and 40 up, they had to buy something. When the young casher at the counter asked what they wanted to order, one of them said coffee because that was all they could 41 . I smiled and asked the casher for two more breakfast meals on two 42 plates. Then I walked around the corner to the table that the men had chosen as a resting spot. I put the plates on the table and 43 the blue – eyed little man’s cold hands with my hands. With tears in his eyes, he said. “Thank you”. I noticed that all the 44 in the restaurant were set on me at that time.
I returned to college and 45 a paper about this story as my project to the instructor. She read it and though highly of my project. Just then I realized in my own way I had 46 the people at the restaurant, my friend, the instructor, and every person that shared the classroom. I graduated with one of the biggest lessons I would ever learn unconditional acceptance.
