His family background is a      of cultures. “My father is black and my mother is white. That means I have always been caught in the middle. I could be      one, which can make you feel out of place,” Miller says.
Following his unusual path, Miller did not start trying out for films when he got to Hollywood.    , he worked as a production assistant. Working on production side, he learned a lot about what makes a good    .
In 2002, Miller played a role in the drama Dinotopia. He starred as a shy man. The producers        his performance when they were making Prison Break two years later.

When an NBA player is young, he thinks he can win the championship by himself. It is only later ______ he has aged and been through many battles that he learns an important lesson: there is no “I” in “team”.
There is no better example of the value of ______ than the Boston Celtics. Paul Pierce, Ray Allen and Kevin Garnett were all superstars on three different teams. ______, none of them had any titles（頭銜） to show for it. Then, last season, they decided to play together, caring little ______ money and fame. Garnett and Allen ______ Pierce on the Celtics and changed the NBA in the process.
It started in simple ways. Garnett and Allen are two of the best athletes in the world. They treat every second of every ______ as it is the NBA championship. If you want to play alongside them then you will have to do the same. Therefore, the young guys on the Celtics started giving their ______ effort too.
Pierce had been the star of the Celtics for many years. He used to shoot the ball many times a game. But with the addition of Allen and Garnett he shot less and ______ defense（防衛(wèi)）. His selflessness showed the young players that doing what made the team better was the only thing that _______. When the Celtics were winning and the game was almost ______, Garnett, Pierce and Allen would come out of the game. But they wouldn’t just sit on the bench. ______, they stood and cheered and screamed for their teammates. They wanted to ______ their friends and teammates.
Now, the guys who don’t play know they can still affect the game by cheering, so they scream and cheer when Garnett, Allen and Pierce are playing. The Celtics have ______ a strong relationship. They are ______ just teammates. They are brothers.
The result: the Boston Celtics won the 2008 NBA championship and are considered the favorites to win the Eastern Conference championship again this year. There is a saying that goes, “A successful team beats with one ______.” If that is the case, the Celtics may have the biggest heart in the NBA.

Charles Plumb, a U.S. Naval Academy graduate, was a jet fighter pilot in Vietnam. After 75 combat missions, his plane was     by a surface-to-air missile. Plumb was     and spent six years in prison in Vietnam. He survived and now      about lessons learned from that experience.
　　One day, Plumb and his wife were sitting in a restaurant when a man at another table came up and said, "You're Plumb! You    jet fighters in Vietnam from the aircraft carrier (航空母艦) Kitty Hawk . You were      !"
"How in the world did you know that?" asked Plumb.
　　"I      your parachute," the man replied. Plumb gasped（倒吸一口氣） in surprise and     .The man pumped his hand and said, "I guess it worked!"
Plumb assured him, "It     did—if your chute hadn't worked, I wouldn't be here today."
Plumb couldn't sleep that night，thinking about that man. He says, "I wondered how many times I might have passed him      the Kitty Hawk. I wondered how many times I might have seen him and not even said 'Good morning, how are you', or anything     , you see, I was a fighter pilot and he was just a      ."
Plumb thought of the many days the sailor had spent on a long wooden table in the bowels（深處）of the ship      working on each chute, holding in his hands each time the      of someone he didn't know.
　　Plumb asks his      , "Who's packing your     ? Everyone has someone who provides what they need to make it      the day." Plumb also says that he needed many kinds of parachutes when his plane was shot down—he needed his      parachute, his mental parachute, his emotional parachute, and his spiritual parachute. He called on all these      before reaching safety. His experience reminds us all to     and be kind to people who pack our daily parachutes, and strengthen us to go through      times.

In 1970, my five brothers, my sister and I lived in the housing projects of Toronto with our parents. My father was a factory worker, and my mother stayed at home. Each year my father would dress up as Santa Claus and go through the streets of the projects sharing joy and candies with the children there. He loved it as much as they did!
But around the Christmas in 1970, my father was out of his job and money was tight. In fact, there was no money for Christmas and my parents weren’t sure what they’d provide for us.
That Christmas Eve, however, as usual, my father left the house dressed as Santa Claus. He knew that even though our Christmas would be hard, he could not disappoint the other kids in the neighborhood.
As my father left the house and went down the walkway, Santa Claus was walking up, with a great sack full of gifts for us! He said nothing, only smiled a sweet smile at my father, and wished him a Merry Christmas. The happy man handed Dad the sack and walked away down the block.
We never knew who the man was and who showed us great kindness on a snowy Christmas night. We do know, however, that without him we would have had nothing under the tree. His kindness gave my parents hope and showed us in a very real way the true meaning of Christmas.
Our family has never forgotten this kind stranger. Each year we tell the story of the mysterious Santa Claus and try to repay his gifts by giving gifts to others in need.
