Holly felt confused as she unwrapped the gift from her best friend, Susan. It was a twelve-by-eighteen-inch dark blue carpet. The murmured “thanks”was 41 heard as Holly tried hard not to allow her 42 to show. Then the two girls headed outside to play.

The next morning, I carried a full kitchen bag outside. My heart 43 as I lifted the lid of the rubbish can and saw Susan‘s carpet lying on the bottom. Hesitating only a moment, I 44 in and picked it up, and then put it 45 in a closet. As there were a lot of things in our daily life , the carpet was soon 46 .

Before Holly’s birthday, Susan had been a(n) 47 visitor in our home. But one day I suddenly realized it was nearly three weeks 48 we‘d heard Susan‘s name last ti me. The singing in the yard told me Holly had arrived home from school. ―Susan invited me to her house after school tomorrow.‖ she 49 . Although her voice carried a so-what attitude, I 50 she was pleased by the invitation.

A woman stood in the doorway to greet us as we 51 the small farmhouse. ―Excuse the mess.‖ she apologized. Susan 52 showed us her room, which was neatly decorated with little used 53 . As the girls compared notes about the school day, I followed Susan‘s foster mom(养母), Glenda , into the kitchen. 54 some cups of coffee, I came to respect this poor but generous-hearted woman who had adopted the young girl and attempted to make a(n) 55 to Susan‘s life.

As the evening drew 56 , we offered our thanks for the visit and said good-bye. Usually Holly talked a lot in the car. 57 , this time she sat quietly, lost in thought. When we got home, she rushed to the rubbish can. Her head 58 as she entered the house.

I went inside and 59 for the closet. ―Is this what you were looking for?‖ I placed the piece of carpet on the table in front of her. ―Thanks, Mom.‖ A tear or two slipped from her eyes and splashed onto the dark blue carpet which, as if by 60 , had become the most precious birthday present in the whole world.

War started in our house in late July with a month to go before my first day of college. It was a battle of wills over what college I was to attend. Mom wanted me to attend a famous 41 school, and I wanted to go to a small writing college. Every night for two weeks, we argued, shouted and gave 42 treatments until both sides went to bed with regrets.

It was mostly my 43 . Since my junior year of high school, I had 44 at being a nurse. I took all the science courses, and even worked as a 45 in my town‘s local hospital. My 46 was to help the sick and be superwoman to the world.

Yet, 47 graduation and college neared, it all changed.Treating the sick was 48 , but not what I was meant to do for the 49 of my life. I could picture myself in hospitals, making rounds, and taking 50 , but I couldn‘t picture myself happy. It wasn‘t the 51 I wanted.

Then, I realized I had been creating and writing stories for as long as I could 52 .

I loved it, and writing was what I had been doing as a 53 . It was going to be my career. And it had to be.

On August 1st, Mom and I sat down at the dinner table and I told her that she had every 54 to choose where to spend her money, just like I had every right to decide where I wanted to go to school. If it was her choice not to 55 any of my college education, then I would take a year off to work and earn money so I could go to the college I wanted. Standing by my decision to be a writer had 56 my firm belief to my mom. Finally we were at 57 , and she decided to support me, which 58 the world to me.

Before that time, I had never stood up 59 my parents on any major decision. Choosing which college to attend 60 me to become a separate and complete adult. I am now finished with my first semester as a Professional Writing major and I cannot wait to see what comes next.

He had this old truck that was older than he was 49 he would drive toward the school, I would shrink down into the seat hoping to disappear.

Frank got a sad look on his face, and the tears began to 58 in his eyes, as he spoke. "It wasn't long after that when my Dad went to sea and never came back.‖

Tears were running down Frank’s cheeks. He spoke again. "Guys, you don't know what I would 59 to have my Dad give me just one more kiss on the cheek....to feel his rough old face....to smell the ocean on him....to feel his arm around my neck. I wish I had been a man then. If I had been a 60 , I would never have told my Dad I was too old for a goodbye kiss."

Years ago, I drove into a service station to get some gas. It was a beautiful day, and I was feeling great. As I walked into the station to _41_ the gas, the owner said to me, “How do you feel?” That seemed like a _42_ question, but I felt fine and told him _43_ .

“You don’t look well,” he replied. This _44_ me completely by surprise. A little less _45_ , I told him that I had never felt better. Without _46_ , he continued to tell me how bad I looked and that my skin appeared _47_ .

By the time I left the service station, I was feeling a little _48_ . About a block away, I _49_ to the side of the road to look at my face in the mirror. How did I feel? Was I sick? Was everything all right? By the time I got home, I was beginning to feel a little ill. Did I have hepatitis (肝炎)? Had I _50_ some rare disease?

The next time I went into that gas station, feeling fine again, I _51_ what had happened. The place had recently been painted a bright yellow, and the light _52_ off the walls made everyone inside look as though they had hepatitis! I wondered how many other folks had _53_ the way I did. I had let one short conversation with a total stranger change my _54_ for an entire day. He told me I looked sick, and before long, I was _55_ feeling sick. That single _56 _observation had a strong effect on the way I felt and _57_ .

A little while later I saw how _58_ the incident was, although on that day when the man had told me how ill I looked, I was _59_ frightened. I wonder how many other people that man had told they were ill _60_ he realized that the service station had had

She was only about five feet tall and probably never weighed more than 110 pounds. However,

Miss Bessie was a(n) 41 presence in the classroom. From 1938 to 1942, when

I attended Bernard High School, she taught me a lot 42 I realized.

There was never a(n) 43 problem in Miss Bessie‘s classes. We didn‘t dare to trouble a woman who knew about the Battle of Hasting and could also play the piano and 44 Shakespeare and Milton.

Miss Bessie knew that my family couldn’t afford to buy a newspaper. She knew we didn’t 45 own a radio. Still, she 46 me to ―look out for your 47 and find some way to 48 what‘s going on in the world.‖ 49 I became a delivery boy who delivered newspapers. I 50 made a dollar a week, but I got to read a newspaper every day.

Miss Bessie noticed things that had nothing to do with schoolwork but were vital to a youngster’s 51 . Once a few classmates made fun of my 52 overcoat. As I was leaving school, Miss Bessie 53 me on the back of that old overcoat and said, ― Carl, never worry about what you don‘t have. Just make the most of what you do have--- a(n) 54 .

Among the things that I didn’t have was 55 in the little wooden house. But because of her 56 , I spent many hours beside a kerosene lamp(煤油灯) reading Shakespeare. Miss Bessie introduced me 57 a wonderful world of poems and stories. She led me to 58 that I could write poems as well as Shakespeare.

So I read 59 Miss Bessie told me to, and tried to remember the things she insisted that I store. Years later, her encouragement finally led to that lovely day

Recently, I stopped by a convenience store to get a newspaper and a bottle of water. The young woman at the check-out 36 said, ―That‘ll be five dollars in all please.‖ She then 37 down at the paper I was buying and said, ―I‘m 38 all these negative(消极的) words on the front pages. I want to read some 39 news for a change.‖ She then said, ― 40 , I think someone should just 41 a newspaper with good news –– a paper with wonderful, inspirational 42 about people overcoming difficulty and doing good things for others.‖ She 43 me for coming in and said,

―Maybe we‘ll get some good news,‖ and she 44 . She made my day.

The following day after my business appointments, I 45 the same store again to pick up bottled water and a newspaper, but a 46 young lady was behind the counter. As I checked out I said, ―Good afternoon‖ and 47 her my money. She said

nothing –– not a word, not a smile or not a 48 . She just gave me my change and 49 a negative tone ordered ―Next!‖

It 50 me right in the eye: two people, the same age; one made me feel 51 , but the other, well, made me feel that I had inconvenienced(打扰) her by 52 .
