Twenty years ago, I drove a taxi for a living. One early morning, I 1 a call for a taxi. When I arrived at the building, it was 2:30 a.m. and I found the building was dark except for the only light in a first floor window.
Many drivers would just shout once or twice and then drove away, but I thought this 2 might need my help. So I walked to the door and knocked, “Just a minute,” answered a 3 , elderly voice. After a long time, the door opened. A small old man showed up before me, 4 a small bag. He kept thanking me for my 5 . “It's nothing,” I told him.
“Oh, you’re such a good man.” He said. When we got into the taxi, he gave me a (an) 6, and then asked, “Could you drive through the city center?”
“But it wasn't the 7 way.” I answered quickly. “Oh, I'm in no hurry.” He said. “I'm on my way to a hospital. I don’t have any family left. The 8 says I don't have much time left.”
I 9 started the taxi and shut off the meter(计程器). For the next two hours, we drove 10 the city center. He showed me the building where he once worked. We drove past the church where he got married. He would never forget that happy moment. Sometimes he'd ask me to slow down in front of a building and would sit 11 the darkness for a long time, saying nothing. When the sun began to rise, we drove in silence to the address he had given me. When we arrived, 12 without thinking, I gave him a big hug. “You gave an old man a little moment of 13 . Thank you!” He said with tears in his eyes.
I was completely lost in thought for the rest of the day. What would happen if I had refused to do 14 I did? We always think that there are no 15 moments in our lives, but great moments are just in what others may think small and unimportant ones.

He laughed and said I had probably 3 him, but I had changed his life. He said that twelve years ago he was in 4 stress management class. I asked the group what their number one stress was and 5 of them, including him, said it was their 6.
He said I listened carefully and then took a chair and placed it in the center of the room. I 7 on the chair for a few minutes and then I invited everyone to do the same. I wanted them to look at the room from 8 there. After everyone had done it, I asked the group to think about how 9 the room looked when they changed their perspective(角度).
Then I asked them to 10 their bosses. Was this the same person who had seen their good 11 and hired（雇佣） them? Do they remember how happy they were to be 12 for the job? How did these wonderful people become terrible bosses?
He said I looked at him and asked if he had 13 said thank you to his boss for the opportunity to make a living. He answered no.
He told me his 14 changed that night. He went back to work with a 15 card to his boss. He had been the manager for 8 years. He said he owed（把……归功于） it all to me: I had taught him to look at life from different perspectives and I had taught him to express gratitude（感激之情）.

There was once a wise(英明的) old woman who lived on the hill. All the children used to go and ask her questions. She always gave them 1answers.
There was a little boy among the children. One day he caught a little bird and held it in his hands without anybody seeing it. Suddenly he had an idea and asked his friends to go with him.
"Let's 2 the old woman," he said. "I'll ask her what I'm holding in my hands. Of course，she'll answer that I have a bird. Then I will ask her if the bird is alive or dead. If she says the bird is dead，I'll 3 my hands and let the bird fly away. If she says the bird is alive， I'll quickly crush it and show her the dead bird. Either way, she'll be wrong."
The children agreed that this was a clever plan .So up the hill they all went to the old woman's house.
"Granny, we have a 4 for you," they all shouted
"What's in my hands?" asked the little boy.
"Well, of course it must be a bird, "answered the old woman.
"But is it alive or dead?" the boy asked5.
All the boys 6 her answer and got ready to laugh at her.
The old woman thought for a moment and then answered," It is up to you, my child. If you're kind enough, it'll be alive."
