So．if 30 did send him，what was the message this time?
He needed 31 and I needed to be reminded how important it was to listen to people，
32 for a few seconds．a few hours or for a lifetime．Perhaps I was sent to him．Maybe he was

I ran into a stranger as he passed by. “I’m so sorry!” was my reply. Then he said, “Excuse me too. I wasn’t 36 watching for you.” We were very polite, this stranger and I. Then we went 37 our way after saying goodbye.
But at 38 , a different story is told. How we treat our loved ones, young and old. Later in the kitchen, as I 39 the meal, my daughter walked up to me, very still. When I turned, I 40 knocked her down. “Get out of the way!” I shouted with a frown (皱眉). She stepped away silently, with her little heart 41 . I didn’t realize how rudely I had spoken.
That night, when I lay 42 in bed, God’s quiet voice spoke to me and said, “While 43 with a stranger, you are calm and polite, but with those you love, you are quick to excite. Go to look around on the kitchen floor, you’ll find some flowers there by the 44 . Those are the flowers she brought for you. She 45 them herself — pink, yellow, and your favorite blue. She stood there quietly and you never saw the 46 in her eyes.”
By this time, I felt sad and small and now my own tears began to fall. I quietly went and knelt (跪) by her 47 . “Wake up, my dear,” I said. “Are these the flowers you picked up for me?” She smiled, “I found them out by the tree, I 48 them in a napkin（纸巾）, just for you. I knew you’d like them, especially the 49 .” I said, “I am so sorry that I missed them today. And I 50 have fussed (大惊小怪) at you that way. ”
And she whispered, “Mommy, that’s OK… I still love you 51 .” I hugged her and said, “I love you, too and I love the flowers.”
Do you know that: if you die tomorrow, the 52 you are working for could easily replace you in a matter of days. But the family you leave 53 will feel the loss for the rest of their lives. And come to think of it, we pour ourselves more into our 54 than into our families--- an unwise investment (投资) indeed.

I had just finished high school when a disaster hit our family. It was October 1962, and 21 was out of the question. So I found a job. In 1971, my employer announced only graduates(大学毕业生) would get 22 . My job seemed at a dead end unless I 23 further. And to graduate, I had to pass the higher secondary examination first.
I 24 an admission form（表格） and rode to the Human Resource（人力资源） Management office. On arriving there, I was 25 ---I couldn’t find the form. It was the last day to 26 the form, and no blank forms were 27 at the office. I was standing there, disappointed, 28 an elderly gentleman asked me why I looked so 29 . I told him what happened, 30 , “Now I’ll have to wait another year.”
“Well,” he said, “if you’re really serious about studying further, come with me. I have a 31 blank form at home.”
It was 12:30 pm. The counter（柜台） would 32 at 2 pm. His home was 10 km away and I had a slight 33 of going somewhere with a stranger. Anyway, this was my last chance. We reached his house on my bike. He advised me to remain 34 , and gave me a pen and the form. When it was 35 , he told me to rush back and 36 carefully. I reached the office at 1:58 pm. There were two people in line, waiting for their 37 . Just then, the counter official announced that no more forms would be 38 after mine. I breathed a sigh of 39 .
I passed the exam and later got a bachelor’s degree. I also got the promotions. I 40 it all to the timely help from a true gentleman whose name I forgot to ask.

Years ago, if a teenager had some problems in his life, he might go home and write in his diary; now, a teenager with 21 problems might go onto the Internet and write about them in a blog(博客). In many ways, a diary and a blog are very 22 . But what makes bolgging different from writing in a(n) 23 diary?
The biggest difference is that a blog is much more 24 than a diary. Usually, a teenager treats his diary like a book full of 25 that he does not want to 26 with others.
It’s interesting that someone who writes in a blog 27 a diary will probably write nearly the same information.
I have a little sister, and sometimes I go online to read her 28 . She writes about things like waking up early for swimming practice and not studying enough for her chemistry test. 29 I was her age, I wrote about the same things, but 30 in my dairy. Then, after I had finished writing, I would hide my diary in a secret place because I was 31 that my sister might read it.
The biggest 32 with blogging is that anyone can read what you write. If I was angry with a friend during high school and wrote something 33 about him in my diary, he would never know. 34 , if my sister ever wrote something bad about a friend, that friend might 35 her blog and get angry.
There are also 36 to blogging, of course. If I was feeling sad one day and wrote in my diary, “ Nobody cares about me”, because no one would 37 about it. However, if my sister wrote the same sentence in her blog, her best friends would quickly 38 and tell her how much they 39 her. Blogs help people 40 in contact with their friends and know what the people around them are doing.
A．the same B．interesting C．difficult D．daily
A．simple B．special C．similar D．different
A．personal B．ordinary C．meaningful D．traditional

It was a cold winter. The day my husband fell to his death, it started to snow, just 36 any November day. His 37 , when I found it, was lightly covered with snow. It snowed almost every day for the next four months, while I sat on the couch and watched it 38 . One morning, I walked slowly 39 and was surprised to see a snow remover clearing my driveway and the bent back of a woman clearing my walk. I dropped to my knees and crawled back upstairs, 40 those good people would not see me. I was 41 . My first thought was, how would I ever 42 them? I didn’t have the 43 to brush my hair, 44 clear someone’s walk.
Before Jon’s death, I felt proud that I 45 asked for favors. I identified myself by my competence（能力） and 46 . So who was I if I was no longer capable? How could I 47 myself if I just sat on the couch every day and watched the snow fall?
Learning to receive the love and 48 from others wasn’t easy. Friends cooked for me and I cried. Finally, my friend Kathy said, “Mary, cooking for you isn’t a 49 for me; it makes me feel good to be able to do something for you.”
Over and over, I heard 50 words from the people who supported me during those 51 days. One wise man told me, “You aren’t doing nothing because being fully open to your 52 may be the hardest work you will ever do.”
I am not the person I 53 was, but in many ways I have changed for the 54 . I’ve been surprised to learn that there is incredible freedom coming from 55 one’s worst fear and walking away whole. I believe there is strength, for sure, in accepting a dark period of our life.
