When I was walking down the street the other day, I happened to 36 a small brown leather purse lying on the sidewalk. I 37 it up and opened it to see if I could 38 the owner’s name. There was nothing inside it 39 some change and an old photo — a picture of a woman and a young girl of about twelve years old, who looked 40 the woman’s daughter. I put the photo back and 41 the purse to the police station, where I 42 it to the desk sergeant (警官). 43 I left, the sergeant took down my name and address 44 the owner might want to write and thank me.
That evening I went to have dinner with my aunt and uncle. They 45 a young woman 46 there would be four people 47 the table. Her face was familiar. I was 48 sure that we had not met before, but I could not remember where I had seen her. In the course of conversation, 49 , the young woman happened to mention that she had lost her purse that afternoon. 50 I realized where I had seen her. She was the young girl in the photo, although she was now 51 . She was very surprised, of course, 52 I was able to describe her purse to her. Then I explained that I had 53 her from the photo I had found in the purse. My uncle 54 to the police station immediately to claim the purse. As the police sergeant handed it over, he said that it was an 55 coincidence that I had not only found the purse, but also the person who had lost it.

In the clinic, I asked if Michael could be retested, so the specialist tested him again. To my __36__, it was the same score.
Later that evening, I _37_ told Frank what I had learned that day. After talking it over, we agree that we knew our _38_ much better than an IQ test. We _39_ that Michael’s score must have been a __40___ and we should treat him ___41___ as usual.
We moved to Indiana in 1962, and Michael studied at Concordia High School in the same year. He got _42 _ grades in the school, especially _43_ biology and chemistry, which was a great comfort.
Michael _44_ Indiana University in 1965 as a pre-medical student, soon afterwards, his teachers permitted him to take more courses than _45_. In 1968, he was accepted by the School of Medicine, Yale University.
On graduation day in 1972, Frank and I _46_ the ceremony at Yale. After the ceremony, we told Michael about the _47_ IQ score he got when he was six. Since that day, Michael sometimes would look at us and say _48_, “My dear mom and dad never told me that I couldn’t be a doctor, not until after I graduated from medical school!” It is his special way of thanking us for the _49_ we had in him.
Interestingly, Michael then _50_ another IQ test. We went to the same clinic where he had _51_ the test eighteen years before. This time Michael scored 126, an increase of 36 points. A result like that was supposed to be _52_.
Children often do as _53_ as what adults, particularly parents and teachers, _54_ of them. That is, tell a child he is “ _55_”, and he may play the role of a foolish child.

Jack Baines is a self-made millionaire, but his beginnings were very lowly. He was the youngest of eight children. His father had a 16 in a cotton mill (纱厂), but he was often 17 to work because of poor health. The family couldn’t 18 to pay the rent or bills, and the children often went 19 . After leaving school at the age of 14, Jack was 20 what to do when Mr Walker, his old teacher, offered to lend him ￡100 to start his own 21 .
It was just after the war. Raw materials were not enough, and Jack saw a 22 in scrap metal(废弃金属). He bought bits of metal and stored it in an old garage. When he had built up a large amount, he sold it and 23 plenty of money.
Jack 24 working hard. After one year he succeeded in 25 the ￡100.
By the time Jack was 30 years old he had 26 his first million, and he wanted to 27 this achievement by doing something “ 28 ”. With all his money it was 29 to build a beautiful home for himself and his parents. In 1959, “Baines Castle” was built in the 30 of the Lancashire countryside. It was one of the finest buildings in the country.
Jack has recently sold “Baines Castle” for ￡500 million, 31 Jack still can’t get used to 32 the good life. He can 33 be found drinking with the locals at the local pub（酒吧）.
“I remember being very 34 as a child, but never 35 as a child,” says Jack, “and I will never forget where I came from and who I am.”

I was tired and hungry after a long day of work. When I walked into the living-room, my 12-year-old son looked 36 at me and said, “I love you.” I didn't know what to say. 37 several seconds all I could do was to stand there and 38 down at him . My first thought was that he must need 39 with his homework or he was trying to 40 me for some news.
Finally I asked, “What was that all about?” “Nothing,” he said. “My teacher said we should 41 our parents that we love them and sees what they say. It’s 42 .
The next day I called his teacher to find out more about this “experiment” and how the other parents had 43 .
“Basically, most of the fathers had the 44 reaction as you did,” the teacher said. “When I first 45 we try this, I asked the children what they thought their parents would say. Some of them thought their parents would have heart trouble.
“The 46 is,” the teacher explained, “feeling loved is an important part of 47 . It is something all people 48 . What I'm trying to tell the children is that it's too 49 we don't all express those feeling. A boy 50 tell his dad he loves him.”
The teacher, a middle-aged man, understands how 51 it is for some of us to say the things that would be good for us to say.
When my son came to me that evening, I held on to him for a (n) 52 moment. And just 53 he pulled away , I said in my deepest , most manly voice , “Hey , I love you , too . ”
I don't know if saying that made either of us healthier, but it did feel pretty good. Maybe next time one of my children says “I love you”, it would not take me a whole 54 to think of the right 55 .

We were flying to a meeting. I was in the middle 36 .I found that the young woman sitting next to me was very 37 and deep in thought. Then I asked her where she was from, where she was going and 38 she did.
She was a student and had been attending 39 in Poland-----the homeland of her father. Then she told me sadly that her father had 40 . She had chosen to attend college in Poland 41 her father’s wishes and their relationship had been 42 .They hadn’t forgiven each other 43 he died.
She seemed so sad. I looked at her, trying to 44 some words to say. I asked her if she had forgiven 45 for not realizing her father’s dream. She answered that she couldn’t forgive herself and felt so 46 .Slowly, I began to tell her about forgiveness. I encouraged her to 47 that because I believed her father wanted that too. She should forgive herself 48 how awful she thought she had been.
I told her about 49 I had done as a teenager for which I had felt guilty for many years. How I was 50 with the choice of forgiving myself or to 51 feeling guilty for the rest of my life. I had 52 to forgive myself . The light in her eyes went on. She began to understand that she was 53 forgiven and could forgive herself. She could be 54 and happy.

When it comes to eating smart for your heart, stop thinking about short-term solutions and simplify your life with a straightforward approach that will serve you well for years to come.
Smart eating goes beyond analyzing every bite of food you lift 36 your mouth. “In the past we used to believe that 37 amounts of individual nutrients were the 38 to good health,” Linda Van Horn, professor of the American Heart Association's Nutrition Committee. "But now we have a 39 understanding of healthy eating and the kinds of food necessary to 40 not only heart disease but disease 41 general," she adds.
Scientists now 42 on the broader picture of the balance of food eaten 43 several days or a week 44 than on the number of milligrams of this or that 45 at each meal.
Fruits, vegetables and whole grains, for example, provide nutrients and plant-based compounds 46 to good health. “The more we learn, the more 47 we are by the wealth of essential substances they 48 ," Van Horn continues, "and how they 49 with each other to keep us healthy."
You'll automatically be 50 the right heart-healthy track if vegetables, fruits and whole grains make 51 three quarters of the food on your dinner plate. 52 in the remaining one quarter with lean meat or chicken, fish or eggs.
The foods you choose to eat as well as those you choose to 53 clearly contribute to your well-being. Without a 54 , each of the small decisions you make in this can make a big 55 on your health in the years to come. A between B through C inside D to
