This year my husband and I decided to have a quiet, low-key New Year's Eve. We wanted to spend it with our kids and other immediate family and make it a special 1 for them, instead of 2 a babysitter and going out on our own. The logical way to do this was through 3 . As we all know, food had a magical way of making; a night 4 , and our New Year's Eve certainly 5 that way, thanks to doughnuts(甜甜圈).
I decided to make doughnuts because my cousins had 6 a batch(一批) on Halloween and I found it very 7 . I used a recipe from the 1976 Mennonite cookbook More With Less and it 8 a curious ingredient---two cups of mashed potatoes that 9 made the texture lighter. The doughnuts were 10 and cut from a sheet of dough(生面团), then left to rise until ready to fry in hot oil. Then they took several seconds to 11 , which meant that my enormous batch of 100 doughnuts was 12 cooking in a fairly short time. We glazed(浇上浆液) the tops and then 13 them for the rest of the evening. The leftovers disappeared at breakfast.
This will become an annual 14 , I have no doubt. Whether we host a bigger party or keep it small, there will always be 15 doughnuts, because when you have hot homemade doughnuts, you can't help but have the best time.

It was a hot, damp summer day. After I 1 my tank in the local gas station, I started to walk inside to pay. Just then I noticed two elderly 2 standing back from their car. There was a mixture of shock and 3 on their faces. I followed their 4 and saw what they saw: five yellow jackets were building a 5 around their gas cap. My eyes 6 . I shared the ladies' fear.
Yellow jackets had never been 7 to me. When I was a young boy, a friend of mine and I were 8 and playing in my backyard. I must have 9 on one of their hidden nests while running. 10 , both of us were being chased and stung over and over by the yellow jackets. We ran away 11 with great fear. My mom 12 ran a cold bath and put us both in it to ease the pain and itching (瘙痒) 13 giving us medicine to fight all the poison in our little bodies from the stings.
I knew I couldn't let fear stop me now. I 14 my back pocket for a paper towel I had there, tore out the nest and stepped on it while the 15 wasps (黄蜂)buzzed around me. 16 of the ladies thanked me excitedly. I smiled, and nervousness and fear were replaced with 17 .

When I started riding a bike a couple of years ago, I didn't think my involvement would ever be more serious than the occasional short ride. But as I built strength, my friends 1 me to step up my training and try some longer trips. The first one to come along was a 150-mile trip, the MS-150, an annual 2 that raises money to fight AIDS.
When I registered, the idea seemed fantastic and I trained with 3 . However, as the time for the ride approached, my self-doubts 4 beyond my endurance (忍耐). I 5 wanted to raise money for the charity, but I didn't really want to bike all those miles for two days straight.
The ride began on a beautiful Sunday morning in the Georgia countryside, and for the first few hours I felt 6 .This was just the experience I had 7 ，and my spirits were high. 8 by the end of the day, I felt tired out.
If the body is 9 to the mind, here was evidence. Every 10 my brain pushed out seemed to travel right down to my legs. “I can't handle this” became a leg cramp (抽筋), and “Everyone else is a better rider” translated into 11 of breath. I was sure I'd have to 12 .
As I topped the crest (顶) of a hill, the beautiful sunset kept me going for a few minutes more. Then in the distance, I saw a lone woman riding very slowly 13 the bright red sun. I 14 that the person looked different in some way, but I couldn't tell why. So I pushed myself to 15 . There she was, riding along slowly but 16 ，with a slight and determined smile on her face and she had only one leg.
My focus changed in that instant. For a whole day I'd been 17 my body. But now I knew it wasn't the body, but the 18 that would help me reach my goal. It rained all the second day. I never saw the one-legged biker again, but I pushed on without 19 ， knowing she was out there with me somewhere. And at the end of the day, still feeling 20 ， I completed the 150-mile trip.

When I was about 12, I had an enemy, a girl who liked to point out my 1 . Week by week her list grew: I was very thin; I wasn’t a(n) 2 student; I talked too much; I was too 3 , always feeling superior to(胜过) others, and so on. I tried to hear all this as long as I could. 4 , I became very angry. I ran to my father with 5 in my eyes.
He 6 to me quietly, and then he asked, “Are the things she says true or not? Janet, didn’t you ever 7 what you’re really like? Well, you now have that girl’s 8 . Go and 9 a list of everything she said and mark the points that are 10 . Pay no attention to the other things she said.”
I did 11 he told me. To my great 12 , I discovered that about half the things were true. Some of them I couldn’t 13 (like being very thin), but a good number I could, and suddenly I wanted to change. For the first time I went to a fairly 14 picture of myself.
I brought the list back to daddy. He 15 to take it. “That’s just for you,” he said. “You know 16 than anyone else the truth about yourself. But you have to learn to 17 , not just close your ears in 18 , feeling hurt when something said a bout you is true. You’ll find it of help to you. Our world is full of people who think they know your affairs. Don’t 19 your ears. Listen to them all, but hear the truth and do what you know is the right thing to do.”
Daddy’s advice has always 20 me at many important moments. In my life, I’ve never had a better piece of advice.

The next morning was one of those ninety-degree days, so I 10 to get dressed until about 45 minutes before time to go. I popped open the box only to 11 a new, $ 49.95 girdle in a small size.

I can remember once when I was just a little boy, I sat on a chair and watched as my mum painstakingly 1 a large, homemade quilt (被子). I looked over at one edge of the quilt being sewed and saw a piece of thread 2 . Without thinking I reached over to 3 it.
“No!” yelled my mum. I jumped back. That was the first time I can ever remember her yelling at me. Seeing the 4 look on my face, she smiled and 5 showed me why she had yelled. That piece of thread 6 in and out, making its way from one end of the quilt to the other. If I had pulled it out, I might have torn the entire quilt and 7 hours of work.
As I look back on that 8 today, I can see that each of our lives is like that 9 . We are all just a 10 string in the tapestry (挂毯) of life. We can’t always 11 where we are going or what we are connected to. If we pull ourselves out of it, we will leave a 12 in it.

One day, a professor entered the classroom and asked his students to prepare for a surprise test. They waited worriedly at their desks for the test to begin. The professor 1 the question papers, with the paper facing down as usual. After he gave them all out, he asked his students to 2 the paper and begin. To everyone's surprise, there were no 3 , just a black dot in the center of the page. The professor, seeing the 4 on everyone's face, told them the following:
"I want you to write what you 5 there."
The students got started on the inexplicable (费解的) task.
At the end of the class, the professor 6 all the answer papers and started reading each one of them aloud in front of all the students. All of them, with no 7 , described the black dot, trying to explain its 8 in the middle of the sheet, etc. After all had been 9 , the classroom was silent, and the professor began to 10 :
"I' m not going to grade this 11 wanted to give you something to think about. No one wrote about the 12 part of the paper. Everyone focused on the black dot, and the same happens in our 13 . We have a white paper to observe, but we always focus on the dark spots. Our life is a 14 given to us with love and care, and we always have 15 to celebrate: nature renewing itself every day, our friends around us, the job that 16 our livelihood and the miracles (奇迹) we see every day.
17 , we insist on focusing only on the dark spots: the health problems that worry us, the lack of money, the 18 relationship with workmates, the 19 with a friend, etc.
The dark spots are very 20 compared to everything we have in our daily life, but they are the ones that pollute our minds.
