Mr. Brown listened carefully, thought for a while and said, “Would you like some lemonade（柠檬汽水） ” Larry felt a little ____21____ and nervously replied, “Yes, thank you!”.

Hearing this, Mr. Brown said ____27____, “This is what I want to hear from you. To improve the ____28____ of lemonade, we don’t need to remove the salt from it, we can just add some sugar to it. Similarly, we cannot remove sad things that have ____29____ happened to us, but we can add sweetness of good experiences in our life.

As Eric Hoffer once said, “The hardest math to master is to make us count our wishes.”
According to an old story, a young man while walking around the desert came across a spring（清泉）of delicious clear water. The water was so ____31____ and he filled his plastic water bottle so he could bring some back to an elder who had been his teacher.
After a four-day journey, he gave the water to the old man. The old man took a deep ____32____, then smiled warmly and thanked his ____33____ for the sweet water taken back from the ____34____. The young man ____35____ to his village with a happy heart.
Later, the teacher let another student taste the water. He spat（吐）it out, saying it was ____36____. It clearly became ____37____ because of the old plastic.
The student asked his teacher, “Master, the water is awful. Why did you ____38____ to like it ”
The teacher ____39____, “You only tasted the water. I tasted the _____40_____. The water was simply but nothing could be sweeter than the mind of loving and kindness.”
I think we understand this _____41_____ best when we receive the best gifts of love from young children. Whether it’s a hand-made paper plane or a painting drawn by them, our natural and proper mind is thanks because we love the meaning _____42_____ the gift.
Gratitude（感恩）doesn’t _____43_____ come naturally. _____44_____, most children and many adults love only the thing given _____45_____ the feeling expressed in it. We should remind ourselves and teach our children about the expressions of beauty, love and gratitude.
After all, gifts from the heart are really gifts of the heart.

_____101_____, a branch(树枝) fell and hit Wendy on her head. I called to her, but she didn’t _____102_____. I was the closest person to her. I had no choice.
I jumped to _____103_____ close to her more quickly. At that moment, I lost all _____104_____. She coughed a little, but she was fine.

Do you have any special ways of sharing love and kindness What are some ways in which we can do this each day
My morning started out as __136__. I snoozed (打盹) twice, took __137__ of my three cats, hurried to complete chores while drinking some coffee, and then rushed out of the door for my mid-morning meeting.
After I finished my meeting, I was __138__. I stopped at a restaurant to __139__ a burrito (墨西哥卷饼) to take home and eat while working.
Since it was a lunch time, there was a line. A woman, who I soon learned was Marcella, was __140__ at the register (柜台). She asked the woman behind her in __141__ if she would like a drink and then asked me. We __142__ said no. She said, “I got you.” But she continued to pay for both of our meals — even though we were strangers.
I asked Marcella __143__ she did this. And she said that someone once did something __144__ for her. The person asked her to pay it forward someday and she was making good things on her __145__.
Before I left, she gave me a warm hug and __146__ me to do an act of kindness for a stranger when I could. I arrived home, but instead of working through lunch, I __147__ and reflected back on her kindness.
Marcella didn’t need to pay for my lunch. But she did, and it cheered me up all day. Not because I got to __148__ my $15, but because she was kind — and did not want to receive anything in return.
As I promised her, I __149__ on paying her kindness forward. Maybe, just maybe, I’ll make a small difference in someone else’s __150__, and the ripple effect (连锁反应) will continue. Because that’s what being human is all about — being kind, even to a stranger.

bored厌烦的；excited兴奋的；worried担心的；easy简单的。根据“But now I’m good at it, and it’s all because of a young Canadian lady. ”和“have a pretty foreign teacher.”可知，此处作者的心情是兴奋的。故选B。
2．句意：第一节课开始时，她笑着对我们说。
smiled笑；said说；shouted喊叫；looked看。根据后文“and she gave me a smile”和“I think of her and her sweet smiles just for me.”及常识可知，此处应是老师笑着说，来拉近与学生之间的距离，凸显老师的亲和力。故选A。
3．句意：然后她拿出一些卡片，给了我们每个人一张。
cards卡片；books书；animals动物；lessons课程。根据“She wanted us to look at the animals on the cards”可知，此处指卡片。故选A。
4．句意：她想让我们仔细地看卡片上的动物，并把它们一个一个地画在黑板上。
quickly快速地；suddenly突然；politely礼貌地；carefully认真地。根据“draw them on the blackboard one by one”可知，要把卡片上的动物画出来是要仔细观察的。故选D。
