As a saying goes, every bean has its black. It is impossible to make no mistakes all one’s life. My grandpa Nybakken, a carpenter, is no 36 . Several decades ago he made a mistake a(n)perfect mistake, 37 .
On a cold Saturday, Mother’s father was building some wooden cases for the clothes his 38
was sending to an orphanage(孤兒院)in China. On his way home, he 39 into his shirt pocket to find his glasses, but they were gone. He remembered putting them there that morning, so he drove back to the church. His 40 proved fruitless.
When he 41 replayed his earlier actions, he realized what happened. The glasses had slipped out of his pocket unnoticed and fallen into one of the cases, which he had nailed shut. His brand new glasses, having 42 him $20 that very morning, were heading for
Several months later, the director of the orphanage came to give a report on Sunday night at my grandfather’s church, 44 Grandpa and his family also attended.
“But most of all,” he said, “I must thank you for the 45 you sent last year. You see, the bandits(土匪)had just 46 through the orphanage, destroying everything ,including my glasses. I was desperate. ”
“ 47 I had the money, there was simply no way of 48 those glasses. 49 headaches every day. Then your cases arrives. When my staff 50 the covers, they found a pair of glasses lying on top. ”
Then, still gripped(吸引注意)with the 51 of it all, he continued, “When I tried 52 the glasses, it was as though they had been made just for me! I want to thank you for being a part of that!”
The peopled listened, 53 for the miraculous glasses. But the director surely must have 54 their church with another, they thought. There were no glasses on their 55 of items to be sent overseas.
But sitting quietly in the back, with tears streaming down his face, an ordinary carpenter realized the Master Carpenter had used him in an extraordinary way.

請認真閱讀下列短文,并根據(jù)所讀內(nèi)容在文后表格的空格處填入最恰當?shù)膯卧~。注意:每個空格填1個單詞。
As a saying goes, a warm and loving hug to embrace(擁抱) you. Man is a social animal by nature. We all need friends, as they are there for us when we need support, just as we are there for them whenever they need us. Therefore, it is necessary for you to know how to make friends.
The first step is to open yourself up. If you want to make good friends, you should be able to share your thoughts and feelings with other people first. Only when you share something of yourself with others, can you begin making friends. When your friends open a conversation with you, they are usually expecting you to share information in return. That is to say, when you are in a conversation, you’d better express your own thoughts and feelings. If a conversation is one-sided, the person doing all the talking may think the other person is not interested in what he is saying. So, when talking with your friends, be sure that the conversation is a two-way street.
One of the most important keys to building a solid friendship with other people is to listen to them—really listen. When your friends tell you something that happened to them or complain(埋怨) about a situation, they are usually not looking for agreement but just want to be heard. So don’t try to change their mind or solve their problems, just let them know that you are listening to them.
Respecting your friends is also important to keep your relationships healthy and strong. Looking at your friends while they are talking to you is one way to show your respect, as they will feel that what they are saying is important to you.
Unconditional support and encouragement is one of the things which friends have. True friendship means offering a shoulder when they need it, crying with them when they are sad, and laughing with them when they are happy. Only in this way, can the tree of friendship last for a long time.
The (1) ______ of friendship | Friends make your happiness more and your sadness less. Friends are always ready to (2) ______ you. | |
(3) _____ to make friends | Open yourself up | Share your (4) ______ and feelings with others. Always respond when your friends are talking to you. |
(5) _____ to your friends | Don’t try to (6) ______ their mind or solve their problems, just listen. | |
