It was two days before Christmas and young Maggie Dotson was already being told that her Christmas wish would not be coming true. Paxton, she was   31  , would not be coming back.

Before that December day a/an   32   baby deer had been abandoned in the woods behind the Dotson’s home. So   33   was the little deer that he hadn’t the strength to run from Maggie’s father when he   34   him.   35   he carried the little deer towards their home, Maggie rushed outside and   36   rubbed the little deer’s nose; it licked (舔) Maggie’s hand, which made her laugh. Mr. Dotson smiled and just shook his head. He proceeded to carry the little deer to the   37  .

In what seemed like a few seconds to Mr. Dotson, Maggie rushed to the house and came back carrying a medical bag, and a   38   of lettuce (莴苣) she had   39   from the refrigerator. Maggie handed her father the bag, and then placed the lettuce by the little deer’s mouth –- but he wasn’t   40  .

As Mr. Dotson placed a   41   around the little deer’s injured hoof (蹄), Maggie became excited as the little deer began to bite on the lettuce. It was dark outside and the temperature was quite   42  . Maggie insisted that her father return with carrots and warm blankets for him. He promised he   43  .

After he   44   the light in the garage, Maggie turned to her father and said, “I’m going to name him Paxton, Daddy.

With time and   45  , Maggie finally gained the little deer’s   46  . In fact, he was soon eating carrots right out of her hand. And when the holidays were over and Maggie was back in school, she never left   47   feeding Paxton first thing every morning.

Mr. Dotson could see the   48   that his daughter felt for the little deer. That scared him,

I was invited to attend a presentation at the Kentucky School. That evening I found gratitude had amazing    41     to change our attitude and our life.

The young musician Mr. Patrick was     42     onto the stage in his wheelchair and began to play the piano. His fingers danced across the keys as he     43      beautiful music. He then began to sing as he played, and it was wonderful. But what shocked me most was his     44     smile.

Mr. Patrick was born with no eyes and an illness in the legs, which     45     him lame for life. However, as a child, he was     46     with artificial eyes and placed in a wheelchair. Before his first     47     , he discovered the piano. When his mom hit any note on the piano, and within one or two     48     , he’d get it. By his second birthday, he was playing “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star”. His father was     49     .“We might not play baseball, but we can play music together.”

When Patrick was at the University of Louisville, his father     50     classes with him. He was also a part of the 214-member marching band! He was a blind, wheelchair-bound trumpet player; and he and his father did it together. His father      51      the night shift(夜班) in order to accompany his daytime band practice. Patrick says, “My dad’s my     52     .”

But even more than his     53     musical talent, it was Patrick’s “attitude of gratitude” that     54     my soul. On stage, between songs, he talked to the audience about his life and about how     55     he was with a great father. When his performance was over, Patrick and his father were on the stage together. The crowd rose to their feet and     56     for over five minutes.

We all face misfortune in our lives.     57      , it’s not the hardship but how we     58     to it that will determine the joy and happiness in our lives. During     59      times, do we spend too much time feeling     60     for ourselves, or can we, with gratitude, learn how to dance in the rain?

So it is exam time once again! Everyone, whether a kid or an adult, has at least a little bit of pressure of exams, and it is just that some show it while others do not. So the most important tip is to relax and not take too much stress.   51  Here are some study tips for high school students as well as study tips for college students.

       ·   52   

The most common mistake that students make is that they start studying a day or two before exams! No portion can be covered, not even halfway, if you study only two days before exams. So what most of the students do, is study only the so-called important points. As a result, even if the paper is easy, you get a low score only because you didn't know the entire contents!   53  If time does not perait you to learn your lessons, at least go through them regularly. This way you will be familiar with the syllabus and won't find it difficult to understand then at the last minute.

       ·Follow effective techniques

There are some easy techniques to study well, like read the lesson casually, at least twice. And while reading, mark the important points with a pencil and move on.   54  Before going to exams, read only the underlined points. This is one of the last minute study tips for exams.

·Relaxation techniques

Don’t study continuously instead of taking some breaks. Just go for minimum 5 minutes to maximum 8 minutes breaks needed an hour in your studies.  55  During an exam, use the few minutes before you are allowed to begin to do some simple relaxation and breathingexercises, sit back and separate yourself mentally from those who are getting anxious.

A．Study beforehand

B．Prepare a good timetable

C．So start studying at least a month before the exams.

D．It will make your mind fresh and active, then you will find interest in studying.

E．Revising for exams is about more than just reading through the notes you made in class.

F．But a little bit of pressure is always necessary, as it is good for us and helps us perform well.

G．When you start reading for the second time, read those underlined points first and then the rest of the text.

The ‘ Phone  Stack(堆)’Game

Whenever Michael Carl , the fashion market director at Vanity Fair , goes out to dinner with friends , he plays something, called the “ phone stack” game : Everyone places their phones in the middle of the table ; whoever looks at their device before the check arrives picks up the bill . As smartphones continue to burrow(钻入) their way into our lives , and wearable devices like Google Glass threaten to eat into our person space even further , overburdened users are carving out their own device-free zones with special tricks and life hacks .

“Disconnecting is a luxury that we all need ,” Lesley M. M. Blume , a New York writer keeps her phone away from the dinner table at home .” The expectation that we must always be available to employers ,colleague, family : It creates a real obstacle in trying to set aside private time . But that private time is more important than ever. “ Much of the digital detoxing （戒毒）is centered on the home , where urgent e-mails from co-workers , texts from friends , Instagram photos from acquaintances and updates on Facebook get together to disturb domestic quietness.

A popular method is to appoint a kind of cellphone lockbox , like the milk tin that Brandon Holley , the former editor of lucky magazine , uses. “ If my phones is buzzing or lighting up , it’s still a distraction , so it goes in the box . “, said Ms. Holley , who lives in a row house in Red Hook , Brooklyn , with her son ,Smith , and husband , John .” It’s not something I want my kid to see.” Sleep is a big factor , which is why some people draw the cellphone-free line at the bedroom.” I don’t want to sleep next to something that is a charged ball of information with photos an e-mails ,” said Peter Som , the fashion designer , who keeps his phone plugged in the living room overnight .” “It definitely is a head clearer and describes daytime and sleep time clearly .”

Households with young children are especially mindful about being overconnected , with parents sensitive to how children may imitate bad habits . But it’s not just inside the home where users are separating themselves from the habit . Cellphone overusers are making efforts to disconnect in social settings ,whether at the request of the host or in the form of friendly competition . The phone-stack game is a lighthearted way for friends to police against rude behavior when eating out . The game gained popularity after Brian Perez, a dancer in Los Angeles , posted the idea online.

From the time I lined up my dolls on the sofa in playschool, I wanted to be a teacher.  “Open your books,” I would   41   my teddy bear and dolls. Then I would   42   teach them whatever new things I had just   43   at school.

     For me, dream was one thing, and   44   was quite another. My family was too poor to   45   my tuition. Finally, with others’ help, I attended a state university. However, I   46   needed more money to pay for my other expenses, so I found a part-time job,   47   test tubes in the science department. At then I believed that every dirty test tube I washed meant I was one step closer to my   48  .

When working as a substitute (代替) teacher in the local area, I learned they were planning to   49   the biology teacher I had substituted for. I was sure the   50   was meant for me. However, the principal (校长) said, “You’re too   51  . This last teacher had a lot of discipline problems because of his age. We want someone older － with more   52  .”

I cried all the way to work, disappointed and   53  . Suddenly, a stranger who I met by chance asked me what had happened. I told him how much I wanted to   54   and how upset I was to be   55   because of my age. Then I also shared some of my thoughts with him. He   56   me, “Never lose heart. I believe you can make it.” The next morning my phone rang. It was the principal calling to offer me the   57   position. I was totally   58   and asked him why. He explained, “You made quite an impression on the chairman of our Board of Directors. He   59   that you should have this position.” A few weeks later, I stood by the door of my classroom, welcoming my   60   on their first day of school. When they were settled, I said with a smile, “Open your books.”
