I’m not much of a crier most of the time.But recently when I was reading a book on a plane, I started crying.Of course, it came as a big surprise when tears came up. No matter how hard I tried, I wasn’t able to control myself.
　　Oh no, not this now, I thought to myself.But even as the thought entered my brain, I felt the first hot drop of salty water coming down my face.I put my head down, hoping that I could go on reading.
In fact, the harder I tried, the more tears pushed their way out of my eyes.You could guess how surprised the man next to me looked.
I dropped my head in shame.He must think I was crazy.Maybe I could turn toward him, hold up the cover of the book and say in my crying voice, “I’m sorry, sir.It’s just a really good book!” But I didn’t say anything.Instead, I just put my head back against the seat and let the tears run.Do you know what decision I made while I was crying My decision was that it was okay if he thought I was crazy.I’d rather be crazy than be the kind of person who wouldn’t cry when the situation called for it, or who wouldn’t let herself feel anything at all.
　　I’ve been that girl who has spent so much time trying to make sure people didn’t think I was crazy.But now I don’t want to be that girl any more—that bored and sad girl.I’d rather be this girl who is able to forgive, love and act, even if it means being disappointed or being hurt again and again.

Long ago in a small village, there was a place known as the House of 1,000 Mirrors.
A small, happy little dog learned about this place and decided to visit. When he arrived, he jumped happily up the stairs and to the doorway(门口) of the house. He looked through the doorway. His ears lifted up, and his tail wagged(摇摆) as fast as it could. To his great surprise, he found himself looking at 1,000 other happy little dogs with their tails wagging just as fast as his. He smiled a great smile and was answered with 1,000 great smiles that were just as warm and friendly. As he left the house, he thought to himself, “This is a wonderful place. I will come back to visit often.”
In this same village, another little dog, who was not quite as happy as the other one, decided to visit the house. He slowly climbed the stairs and hung(垂下) his head low as he looked into the doorway. When he saw the 1,000 unfriendly-looking dogs looking back at him, he shouted at them. He was afraid when he saw 1,000 little dogs shouting back. As he left, he thought to himself, “That is a terrible place. I will never go back there again.”

Ⅹ. One possible version:
Something that made me happy was winning the piano competition.It was held on September 20th in City Music Hall.On that day, I saw many people there.I was so nervous.I was worried that I would make mistakes during my performance.Then I remembered what my father told me—always believe in yourself; you are the best.His words made me feel much better.When it was my turn to play, I walked up to the piano with confidence and performed well.You wouldn’t believe how much I wanted to know the result.When I learned I won first prize, I hugged my parents in excitement.
This experience taught me that it’s very important to have confidence in yourself.
