As the hot tears rolled down her cheeks, I knew I had asked the wrong question. The ___21___reverberated(回荡)in my mind: Widowed or divorced? I looked into the lady’s __22___, now dampened （使潮湿）with the __23___ tears my words had caused.
“ Well, you could call me widowed,” she replied. “ My husband ___24___ five months ago .”
“ I am so ____25___ ,” I mumbled. “ I need it to fill out your credit application.”
“Don’t worry about it, honey,” she ____26___. “if I never thought about it, I would not ___27____ the love and the memories we shared. Even after 50 years of ___28____ ,each passing moment would bring a deeper meaning to the word love. Now, trust me, I know how ____29___ that sounds. We had our share of challenging times, but in the end ____30___ of that mattered.”
Unsure of what to say, I laughed ___31___ . I picked up the phone to relay her information. After finally completing the credit application, I ____32____ to find myself riveted（固定） to the lady’s face again.
Her eyes began to sparkle ___33___ she continued in a heart-to-heart way. I couldn’t believe someone could open up to a perfect stranger, but it was not my place to ___34____ . I enjoyed listening to her just as much as she ___35___ having somebody to talk to.
“ Have you ever been ____ 36___?” she asked.
I couldn’t help but ___37____. “Ah, no.” I replied. “I’m only 16.”
“Sixteen?” she murmured. “That’s a great age, an age of ____38____. There’s so much worth learning.”
She then spoke in a whipser, “Never take anyone for granted. If you are in ____39___ with someone, let it known. Otherwise, life may pass you by. Don’t spend your life angry . The ridiculous arguments which you think are important won’t even be remembered in a short time.”
Then, she hugged me and thanked me for letting her talk. As she turned to walk away, I could see that tears still hung in her eyes, but the smile that lit her face was amazing. After that, I have never seen that woman again, but her words of inspiration still live in me. At that time, the words were only little bits of advice.

On May 27, 1995, our life was suddenly changed. It happened a few minutes past three, 36  my husband, Chris, fell from his horse as it 37 over a fence. Chris was paralyzed (瘫痪) from the chest down,   38  to breathe normally. As he was thrown from his horse, we entered into a life of  39   with lots of unexpected challenges( 挑战). We went from the "haves" to the “have-nots". Or so we thought.
40  what we discovered later were all the gifts that came out of   41 difficulties. We came to learn that something 42   could happen in a disaster . All over the world people 43  Chris so much that letters and postcards poured in every day. By the end of the third week in a 44 center in Virginia, about 35,000 pieces of 45   had been received and sorted.
As   46 , we opened letter after letter. They gave us   47  and became a source of strength for us. We used them to 48   ourselves. I would go to the pile of letters marked with "Funny" if we needed a 49 , or to the "Disabled" box to find advice from people in wheelchairs or 50 in bed living happily and 51 .
These letters, we realized, had to be shared. And so   52  we offer one of them to you.
Dear Chris,
My husband and I were so sorry to hear of your 53  accident last week. No doubt your family and your friends are giving you the strength to face this   54  challenge. People everywhere are also giving you best wishes every day and we are among those who are keeping you   55 .
Yours Sincerely,
Nancy Reagan

I know I should have told the headmaster at the time. That was my real 36 .
He had gone out of the study for some 37 , leaving me alone. In his absence I looked to see 38 was on his desk. In the 39 was a small piece of paper on which were written the 40 “English Writing Prize 1949. History Is a Serious of Biographies (人物传记)”.
A(n) 41 boy would have avoided looking at the title as soon as he saw the 42 . I did not. The subject of the English Writing Prize was kept a 43 until the start of the exam so I could not 44 reading it.
When the headmaster 45 , I was looking out of the window.
I should have told him what had 46 then. It would have been so 47 to say: “I’m sorry, but I 48 the title for the English Writing Prize on your desk. You’ll have to 49 it.”
The chance passed and I did not 50 it. I sat the exam the next day and I won. I didn’t 51 to cheat, but it was still cheating anyhow.
That was thirty-eight years 52 when I was fifteen. I have never told anyone about it before, 53 have I tried to explain to myself why not.
The obvious explanation is that I could not admit I had seen the title 54 admitting that I had been looking at the things on his desk. 55 there must have been more behind it. Whatever it was, it has become a good example of how a little mistake can trap (使陷入) you in a more serious moral corner (道德困境).
