Molly the Cactus
Lady Anna had a lovely garden with lots of flowers. All the flowers would talk, sing and play all day. Only Molly the Сactus could not join them. The mean flowers would only 32 ______ fun of her. “People stop to smell and touch me, but you neither smell nor look good!” the Rose flower would say and all the flowers would start laughing. Poor Molly was very sad and lonely.
Once, Lady Anna went to the neighboring town and stayed there for a 33 ______ time. The flowers began to worry. “It is so sunny! We need to be watered quickly; 34 ______ we will all dry up!” said the Lily flower in dismay. The Rose flower was crying. “What is the matter, Rose? We are all waiting 35 ______ water,” said the Tulip flower. “Oh, I’m worried about my new flower. It may dry out even before blooming!” sobbed Rose. The flowers started discussing what could be done to save little Rose, but no one could think 36 ______ a solution. Then Molly the Cactus said “I can give water to little Rose. I have water stored in me, which is more important for Rose now”. “Little Rose bud will survive!” cheered everybody. Then the Rose flower turned to Molly and said “Molly, we must 37 ______. Even though we were mean, you helped us. You have taught us an important lesson. It is not how one 38 ______, but how one behaves that makes one a good or a bad person”.

A trip to Thailand
I have always been interested in various cultures especially those completely alien to us. Thus, imagine my delight when my father 32 ______ me that he was taking us on a holiday to Bangkok and from there to visit a remote tribe that lives about 200 kilometers north of the capital city. As my father explained, the tribe lives an isolated life and the members are cut 33 ______ from the rest of the world in terms of their unique and even weird cultural practices.
During our trip I have noticed that the Thai people are very friendly and their greetings are very 34 ______ to the Indians’. For example, when they meet you they bring their palms together in a prayer-like position and bend their bodies a little as a way of welcoming and acknowledging you. It would definitely 35 ______ you feel as an honored guest. At first, I was rather 36 ______ by these greeting traditions which seemed so unusual and respectful to me. Surprisingly, soon I got used to doing that myself and 37 ______ this procedure during my entire trip to Thailand. We spent only two fantastic days in Bangkok before heading 38 ______ the remote village which was going to be the most exciting time of our lives, dad promised. We were excited and could not wait seeing everything with our own eyes!

he important things in life
At a philosophy class a professor picked up a large empty glass jar and filled it with big rocks. He then asked the students if the jar was full. They 32 ______ that it was. So the professor poured a box of pebbles into the jar and shook it lightly. The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the rocks. The students again considered the jar to be full. When the professor poured a box of sand into the jar it filled up the 33 ______ open areas of the jar, which was really full at last.
“Now,” said the professor, “I want you to understand that this jar 34 ______ your life. The rocks are the important things – your family, health, children – and if only they are present in your life, it will 35 ______ be full. The pebbles are the other things that 36 ______ – like your job, house, car. The sand is the small stuff.”
“If you put the sand into the jar first,” he continued, “there is no room for the pebbles or the rocks. The same goes for your life. If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff, you will never have room for anything important. 37 ______ attention to the things that are critical to your happiness. Play with your children, do sports, meet friends. There will always be time to work, clean the house, or fix the car. Take care 38 ______ the rocks first, set your priorities. The rest is just sand.”

Brenda
Brenda Dowson looked up at the departure monitor on the wall above her desk. She was relieved to see that United’s flight 99 bound for JFK had finally taken 32 ______ at 1.40. Forty minutes behind schedule.
Brenda founded Art Locations nearly ten years ago. Brenda was really married to the job, despite its long hours, demanding customers and planes, trains and cargo vessels that never 33 ______ on time. Moving great works of art from one corner of the globe to the other 34 ______ her to combine a natural flair for organization with a love of beautiful objects.
Brenda travelled around the world 35 ______ commissions from governments who were planning national exhibitions. She also dealt with several private collectors, who often wanted nothing more than to move a favourite painting from home to another. Over the years many of her customers had become personal friends. But not Andrew Stratford. Brenda long ago 36 ______ that the words “please” and “thank you” were not in the man’s vocabulary, and she certainly wasn’t on his Christmas card list. Brenda tried to 37 ______ no attention to his impolite ways. Stratford’s latest demand had been to collect a Van Gogh from Victoria Hall and transport it, without 38 ______ to his office in Boston. Again, he didn’t say either “please” or “thank you”.
