The headmaster told us _______ at the Science Museum on time.

d a lot of things. Everything worked well, but I found one of my husband's socks missing. I looked everywhere for it, but I couldn't find it anywhere. The next morning, I got ready for school as usual. When the bell rang, the students came in. I greeted them first and then told them what we were going to do that day. When I turned around to write on the blackboard, the class broke out a roar! They laughed and laughed. They laughed so much, in fact, that I was afraid the headmaster would be into seeing all this. I asked the class to stop, but the more I talked, the more they laughed. I decided to pay no attention to them and I continued to write on the blackboard. When I did this, they roared even more. Finally, the teacher who had the room next to mine came in to see what all the laughter was about. When he came in, he started laughing, too! “Good heavens” I said. “Will someone please tell me what is so funny” “Oh, God, ”said the teacher. “You have a brown sock to the back of your skirt! ” So that's how I found my husband's missing sock. “Oh, well, ” I said to the class. “Let's just say you have had an unforgettable lesson on static (静止的) electricity. ”

students on important things in life and about 36 ourselves to what is important to us.This is how the story went:

An old man lived in a certain part of London, and he would wake up every morning and go to the 37He would get the train right to Central London, and then sit at the street comer and 38 .He would do this every single day of his life.He sat at the same street comer and begged for almost 20 years.

His house was dirty, and a stench came out of the house and it smelled 39 .The neighbors could not 40 the smell anymore, so they called the police officers to 41 the place.The officers 42 down the door and cleaned the house.There were small bags of 43 all over the house that he had 44 over the years.

The police counted the money, and they soon realized that the old man was a 45 .They waited outside his house in anticipation (预料) to 46 the good news with him.When he arrived home that evening, he was met by one of the officers who told him that there was no 47 for him to beg any more as he was a rich man now, a millionaire.

He said 48 at all; he went into his house and locked the door.The next morning he woke up as usual, went to the street and continued to beg.

49 , this old man had no great plans, dreams or anything 50 for his life.We learn nothing from this story other than staying 51 the things we enjoy doing: commitment(信奉).

We should remain true to our course, which may mean devoting yourselves to things that people around you would 52 disapprove of.Let nothing distract us from being happy, let nothing else determine our fate, but 53.

What makes us happy is 54 matters in the end…not what we acquire (获得).

This particular story is one such lesson that I will never forget.Every time I don't concentrate on course, I get reminded 55 this story.
