During my second year of college I was looking around for a place to live. One Sunday after church the pastor(牧师) told me to stay in his daughter’s room because his daughter was studying abroad for one year.
To be  21 , I really didn’t want to stay with “the pastor’s family”. He told me how much the  22  would be — a very low figure that  23  one home-cooked meal a day. I thought about the  24  and decided to move in.
At the end of the term I had planned to find  25  living place, since the daughter was to  26  home. To my delight, they  27  that I share a room with their son. I seemed to have been adopted into their  28  —her people. I  29  accepted the offer.

Is there somebody you can depend on? And are others counting on you? We travel the path of life best when there is  40  to look after, and when someone is looking after us.
