Charles Plumb, a U.S. Naval Academy graduate, was a jet fighter pilot in Vietnam. After 75 combat missions, his plane was 36 by a surface-to-air missile. Plumb was 37 and spent six years in prison in Vietnam. He survived and now 38 about lessons learned from that experience.
One day, Plumb and his wife were sitting in a restaurant when a man at another table came up and said, "You're Plumb! You 39 jet fighters in Vietnam from the aircraft carrier (航空母舰) Kitty Hawk . You were 40 !"
"How in the world did you know that?" asked Plumb.
"I 41 your parachute," the man replied. Plumb gasped（倒吸一口气） in surprise and 42 .The man pumped his hand and said, "I guess it worked!"
Plumb assured him, "It 43 did—if your chute hadn't worked, I wouldn't be here today."
Plumb couldn't sleep that night，thinking about that man. He says, "I wondered how many times I might have passed him 44 the Kitty Hawk. I wondered how many times I might have seen him and not even said 'Good morning, how are you', or anything 45 , you see, I was a fighter pilot and he was just a 46 ."
Plumb thought of the many days the sailor had spent on a long wooden table in the bowels（深处）of the ship 47 working on each chute, holding in his hands each time the 48 of someone he didn't know.
Plumb asks his 49 , "Who's packing your 50 ? Everyone has someone who provides what they need to make it 51 the day." Plumb also says that he needed many kinds of parachutes when his plane was shot down-he needed his 52 parachute, his mental parachute, his emotional parachute, and his spiritual parachute. He called on all these 53 before reaching safety. His experience reminds us all to 54 and be kind to people who pack our daily parachutes, and strengthen us to go through 55 times.

Our thoughts, words, and actions often cause harm to others and to us. Without reconciliation (和解), we cannot deepen our understanding and only cause more suffering. "Beginning Anew" is a(n) 1 of reconciliation. It involves three steps —— sharing appreciation, expressing 2 , and expressing hurt and difficulties.
In the first step, we share appreciation. We acknowledge the 3 qualities of the other person. The second step——expressing regret, is to 4 with the other person our regrets for the things we have done or said that might have caused him or her 5 . This requires humility (谦逊), and the 6 to let go of our own pride. In the third step, we express our own hurt with mindful and loving 7 without blaming or criticizing. We speak in such a way that the other person can listen and 8 our words. If we blame the other person, his heart will 9 and he will not be able to hear us. We ask the other person to help us to understand why he has spoken and acted as he has, causing us so much pain. Perhaps, later, he can share his feelings so that we can understand him more deeply. If a strong 10 arises in us while we are expressing our suffering, we should simply 11 and come back to our breathing until the emotion becomes 12 . The other person can 13 us by following his breathing until we are ready to continue. We can enjoy practicing "Beginning Anew" with our partner, our family, or our friends 14 . By doing this, we will 15 misunderstandings from accumulating. Rather, we will take care of them as they arise, as we take care of our children.
