Appeal to Emotion
My childhood left three months ago on a plane to Austria.
It was a 1 day when my baby cousins moved away. My cousins were a fundamental part of my life; 2 they were not with me; they were on my mind. They brought back the untroubled days of my childhood, 3 games, adventures and silliness, but they also helped 4 me from an at- times selfish teenager into a responsible adult.
My aunt and uncle moved here from Boston with their 1- year- old daughter Yasmeen. They lived in an apartment on the side of our house and I was 5 to have our family, especially a baby girl, so close to us. Yasmeen had close friendships with each of my sisters, but I knew the one that 6 between us was the strongest. As she began to walk on her own and talk in full sentences, I realized my great 7 upon her. I noticed that she’d 8 some of my unpleasant actions, 9 with her mother after I had done the same. Yasmeen made me realize what being a good 10 really was.
When Maya was born, Yasmeen had a hard time 11 . She was jealous(妒忌) of the attention we all paid to her new younger sister, so I did my best to keep her company when she might have not been 12 . Once Yasmeen overcame her jealousy, she was able to 13 Maya’s presence, like we all did. I tried to take advantage of our times together, doing my best to 14 my schedule for my two favorite people. My 15 with Yasmeen and Maya has taught me the importance of influential people. I know that I have helped Yasmeen and Maya 16 , but“ the babies” have had an even greater influence on my own life. They have shown me how to be a parent, a sister, a child, and most importantly, a friend. Our 17 has made me a better person——a more patient person, with the ability to 18 endless questions and spilled(洒) juice; an 19 person, able to have fun and be happy with others; a role model, 20 the babies ideas about right and wrong, and a compassionate person, able to forgive and love.

When I started playing chess, it was merely a game. However, I have come to realize that most of life can be 1 on a chess board.
One of the first lessons I learned was never to leave a piece 2 . Making this mistake means commit suicide. Instead, I learned that to win I need 3 , a perfect cooperation between the pieces so that I can react and 4 to any outcome, however unlikely it may be. In life, you need to be able to 5 what you are doing. If something isn’t working, try something 6 .
In chess, various strategies and plans are 7 to success. If you don’t know what you are trying to accomplish, then you don’t have a chance of 8 . You can take a(n) 9 outlook on life: If you don’t have goals then you can’t expect to accomplish anything. With goals and will, a person can take those 10 forward that are important to the game, both in chess and life.
There I was, sitting at the table, watching the game 11 . My opponent sighed, deep in thought. I glanced at the board and thought about my better 12 and more pieces. I had the game well in 13 . My opponent suddenly sat up and whispered, “Come on already. Can’t you just end it?” He stared at me; I 14 back, surprised. I wanted to end it. I really did. 15 I found that I couldn’t. Fate had 16 me. It took me another 20 minutes and 17 moves to win.
People think winning is 17 , but it’s not. It takes time, patience, and hard work. To 18 , a person must work hard to prove his or her ability. To show others you are capable of 19 them, you must show them you are a winner. I am a 20 .

Nine years ago around Christmas, I was on a Captiva Island beach at sunrise. I crouched low there and was lost in the false hope of finding a treasure larger than the small 1 on the shore.
A man ran slowly along the waves 2 my direction. When he came near me, he slowed to a walk. I didn’t 3 him until he was almost standing over me. Too young to be 4 of strangers, I got on my feet and looked at him. It was then that I saw what was in his 5 , a beautiful bright cream- colored shell, the kind of thing that I was looking for. He smiled as I stared in 6 , and then, to my shock, he handed it to me. I held it 7 before me like a diamond, not 8 my eyes.

A Game of Light and Shade
It was a sunny day. I had gone up and down the tower when, outside the door at the foot, a blind man came toward me. In a moment, he disappeared up the stairs. I looked at the sign that said “To the Tower”, and decided to 1 him.
I caught up with him in the ticket office. There I was 2 to see the attendant (工作人员) selling him a ticket as if he were any other visitor. Then, with the ticket in one hand and 3 the wall with the fingers of the other, the blind man reached the stairs 4 to the hallway.
“That man is blind. What would a blind man climb up the tower for?” I said to the attendant, expecting him to show some 5 , but he didn’t answer.
“Not the 6 certainly,” I said. “Perhaps he wants to 7 .”
I bought a ticket and 8 up the stairs. The man hadn’t gone as far as I 9 . A third of the way up the tower, I heard his 10 . I slowed down and followed him at a little 11 . He stopped from time to time. When he got to the balcony, I was a dozen steps 12 . As I reached it, I saw him at the corner of the tower.
At last, after ten minutes, I 13 him. “Excuse me,” I said as politely as I could, “but I am curious to know 14 you came up.”
He smiled. “Coming up the stairs, you will notice how not just light but sun 15 into the tower through the narrow windows here and there, so that you can feel the 16 — the cool stairs suddenly become quite warm— and how up here behind the wall there is 17 , but as soon as going opposite a window you can find the sun. There is no 18 so good as this for feeling the difference between light and shade. It is not the first time I’ve come up.”
The blind man seemed quite 19 just like a child who was enjoying his favorite games. He told me the truth that blind men can also find the beauty in life 20 they cannot enjoy the sights of the world.
