The first event of my life to be printed into my memory occurred when I was three. My mother stands, working in the 41 and then glances at me with a 42 smile. Two feet down the table, I knock on a chair with a bowl and a spoon, 43 my own invisible (无形的) powder. We wear 44 dresses, mine the leftover 45 from hers, sky blue — mommy’s favorite color. I am her shadow.
However, by 14 I could not 46 my mother. All that I heard every day was NO. I wanted to dye my hair and she said no. I wanted to 47 late with my friends and she said no. I didn’t understand why she said no. She was trying to 48 me from aches and pains and mistakes 49 in her teens. Several years later, I finally understood her, but it was too late. She became ill. I cried and 50 , “Don’t take her, God, please! She is my mother, my mommy, ma, the woman who gave me life. All my years, 51 the hard times and the good, she has been there, 52 to me forever by an invisible umbilical cord (脐带) that lasts longer after birth.”But this cord, this love could do nothing to stop the cancer from 53 .
A few years later 54 I myself lay in the hospital bed, my newly born daughter was 55 in my arms. I cried and smiled and prayed. Please help me to 56 her into a wonderful girl. And looking down 57 her eyes, I could see the message they held, “Your 58 would be proud.”
I stand in the kitchen now, and these thoughts flashed through my mind. I glance at my young daughter. A 59 feeling rushes through my soul as I take in the familiar 60 .
I am my mother’s shadow.

Last night I was driving from Harrisburg to Lewisburg, a 36 of about eighty miles. It was late and I was in a hurry. However, if anyone asked me how fast I was 37 ,I’d say I was not over-speeding. Several times I got 38 behind a slow-moving truck on a narrow road, and I was holding my fists tightly with 39 .
At one point along an open highway, I 40 a crossroad with a traffic light. I was alone on the road by now, but as I 41 the light, it turned red and I braked to a stop. I looked left, right and behind me. Nothing. Not a car, no suggestion of headlights, but there I sat, waiting for the light to 42 , the only human being for at least a mile in any 43 .
I started 44 why I refused to run the light. I was not afraid of being 45 , because there was obviously no policeman around, and there certainly would have been no 46 in going through it.
Much later that night, after I 47 a group of my friends in Lewisburg and climbed into bed near midnight, the question of why I’d stopped for that light 48 me, I think I stopped because it’s part of a contract(合同) we all have with each other.

Life is filled with challenges. As we get older we 26 realize that those challenges are the very things that 27 us and make us who we are, it is the same with the challenges that come with 28 .
When we are faced with a challenge, we usually have two 29 : we can try to 30 it off, or we can decide that the thing presenting the challenge isn’t worth the 31 and call it quits. Although there are 32 times when calling it quits is the right thing to do, in most 33 all that is needed is commitment and 34 .
When we are devoted to 35 , it means that no matter how 36 or how uncomfortable something is, we will always choose to 37 it instead of running away from it.

In dealing with many challenges that friendship will bring to you, try to see them for 41 they are: small hurdles（障碍） you need to jump or 42 on your way through life. Nothing is so big that it is impossible to get over, and hurt only 43 to make us stronger.

One afternoon I toured an art museum while waiting for my husband to finish a business meeting. I was looking forward to a quiet 21 of the splendid artwork.
A young 22 viewing the paintings ahead of me 23 nonstop between themselves. I watched them a moment and decided the lady was doing all the talking. I admired the man’s 24 for putting up with her 25 stream of words. 26 by their noise, I moved on.
I met them several times as I moved 27 the various rooms of art. Each time I heard her continuous flow of words, I moved away 28 .
I was standing at the counter of the museum gift shop making a 29 when the couple approached the 30 . Before they left, the man 31 into his pocket and pulled out a white object. He 32 it into a long stick and then 33 his way into the coatroom to get his wife’s jacket.

“But what does he get out of the art?” I asked. “He can’t see.”
“Can’t see! You’re 36 . He sees a lot. More than you and I do,” the clerk said. “His wife 37 each painting so he can see it in his head.”
I learned something about patience, 38 and love that day. I saw the patience of a young wife describing paintings to a person without 39 and the courage of a husband who would not 40 blindness to change his life. And I saw the love shared by two people as I watched this couple walk away, their arms intertwined.
