My husband Bill, was diagnosed with cancer(癌症). Over the course of seven months, he went from beating me silly at tennis to needing my help to go to the bathroom.

It was the best seven months of my life. Maybe I don’t 75 mean that, but it was certainly the time when I felt most alive. I had become a respected professor, and a responsible wife. During those seven months, I came to understand that nothing would 76 more than what I had done to my husband.

When I couldn’t sleep at night, I prayed(祈祷) to God. Then I began praying it daily even if I had no difficulty sleeping, which 77 my breathing and calmed my mind.

During his last week, a relative visited. I noticed that she’d changed her appearance, but in a funny way. It was the kind of 78 I kept to myself. After she left, Bill voiced exactly what I’d been thinking, in that truthful way he had, and I found myself laughing out in my heart.

I could live with this man, even needing as much care as he does, for the next 40 years, I thought. 79 , he would be dead very soon. I will never again have that high a purpose in my life. I will try to be a little less unhappy, and a little more 80 for the small moments in life. I am a better person for caring for Bill. It was his last, best gift to me.

Grades are important, but they are not the only measure.

I have come to understand that exam grades are not the only purpose of schools, and grades a (81) are not enough.

Studies show that some of the high-flying students have troubled lives, finding it difficult to get good jobs or become great parents or partners. A (82) graduation, students come to realize what they have learned at school has not really prepared them for the next step.

Increasingly, teachers are getting to know the idea of “learning from our failures.” If you’ve never failed at anything, you’ve certainly never t (83) anything new. Exam grades are important and we encourage all students to aim high and to do well. But they don’t m (84) success. I once asked my students to consider the chef Gordon Ramsay, and how he became so successful. They were surprised to find that he didn’t have a good performance at school and he didn’t s (85) become a great chef. In an interview, he explained that he worked long hours for very little money, learning everything he could. He took chances even if they seemed i (86). He made mistakes but he cheered himself up and moved forward. His success didn’t come from grades, it came from his character: courage, effort and confidence.

We should develop social skills through the whole school as an important p________(87) of learning. This is why there is a focus on performance, sport and other activities. These life skills will work hand-in-hand with knowledge to enable students to do well in their future life.

The frightened horse had run past him as he worked in the field that morning. He would have helped it whether it belonged to the queen or not. But he had to admit that getting a reward was nice.

Two of the queen’s men appeared. One carried a mirror. Red jewels shone on top of the mirror’s silver frame. The other carried a wooden cage with a chicken inside it.

“Only one reward can be yours,” the queen said. “Choose wisely.” “That’s easy,”

Peter said. “I’ll take the chicken.” Some of the queen’s men laughed. It was clear that they thought he had made a foolish choice.

“And why did you choose the chicken?” the queen asked. “Well, I don’t know much about jewels ,” Peter answered. “But I do know about chickens. The chicken will provide eggs for my family for a long while.”

Queen Olivia smiled. “Then you did make a wise choice,” she said. “That mirror may look fancy. But the jewels you see are only colored glass, and the frame is painted silver. The chicken is much more valuable.” Peter took the chicken and bowed. “Thank you, your majesty.”

“You are a smart child,” the queen added. “I could use a smart boy to help take care of my horses. Would you like to take the job?” Peter smiled. “Thank you very much!” he said excitedly. A job at the castle paid well. Now his family would eat well for the rest of their lives--all because ______________________!
