In 1970, at the age of 35, my father was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. There was not much      done at that time and my father had to rely on the medication and treatment that were      at that time. But one thing was      , my father was not a quitter. He was a teacher who       children with special educational needs in Chicago Public High School. Every day we would hear      about “his kids”. These “kids” did not usually     my sister and I.
One day, my father arrived at his school and walked up the     for his first period. He was having a very      day because the disease was really taking everything out of him. He      once and bruised (擦伤) his knee but he still kept going.        did he know that someone was watching.
As the day      his steps began to get a little lighter. At the end of the day, he was about to leave      a young girl entered his office. He had met her in the hallway but she was not one of his      . He asked what he could do for her and she said, “I just wanted to thank you for     my life.”
He looked at her and couldn’t      what he had done. She then went on      . “When I got up this morning, I felt as if I was at the end of my      and ready to kill myself. But when I saw you trying to go up the stairs and then you fell, I felt    and the feeling of sadness just kept getting     . And now you are walking as      as ever. It’s really true that everything will get better as the days go on.”

In a class I teach for adults, I recently did the “unpardonable.” I gave the class homework!

It   37  to be someone you have never   38   those words to before or at least haven’t shared those words with for a long time.” That doesn’t   39   like a very tough assignment,   40   you stop to realize that most of the men were over 35 and were   41  in the generation of men that were taught that expressing emotions is not “macho (男子汉气概的).” Showing feelings or crying (heaven forbid!) was just not done   42 this was a very threatening assignment for some.
At the   43   of our next class, I asked if someone wanted to   44   what happened when they told someone they loved them. I fully expected one of the   45   to volunteer, as was usually the   46 , but on this evening one of the men raised his hand. He appeared quite moved and a bit   47 . As he unfolded out of his chair, he began by saying, “Dennis. I was quite   48   with you last week when you gave us the assignment. I didn’t feel that I had   49 to say those words to and   50 , who were you to tell me to do something that personal? But as I began driving home my conscience (良知) started talking to me. It was telling me that I   51   exactly who I needed to say I love you to. You see, five years ago, my father and I had a heated   52   and really never resolved it since that one. We   53  seeing each other unless we absolutely had to at Christmas or other family gatherings. But   54   then, we hardly spoke to each other. So last. Tuesday   55  I got home, I had convinced myself. I was going to tell my father I loved him.”

It was in late April, dangerously near the well – known AP exams, when the absurdity(无助的荒诞感) of my life struck me. I was making a   36   of problems to be discussed for the evening as usual. When I   37  the great number of things on the list—a literature essay, timelines for American History, a Spanish presentation and   38 for tests in both Calculus and Physics, I was overwhelmed(难以承受) to the point of   39   exhaustion (extreme tiredness). After - school arrangements had already worn away my   40 . To keep myself awake at 11p.m. to finish five hours of   41  just seemed like too much to handle. I   42   at the computer screen with tears streaming down my cheeks,   43 my friend James about how stressed out I was over school.
His response was immediate. “Well,   44   did you decide to take five AP classes on the top of everything you’re doing?”
My response   45 just as quickly. “Because I need them for college. Harvard won’t   46   someone who doesn’t challenge themselves with difficult classes!”
The words sounded so   47   as I typed them on the screen that I   48 laughed out loud. I was supposed to be   49 myself not torturing(折磨) myself. That was the night I   50   that I didn’t need to deal with a course load of disastrous difficulty to   51   my own self – worth.
It was a little too late to   52   things, of course. The AP exams were about to go full – force,   53   were winding down, and most of my clubs and organizations were about to hold their end – of – year parties. Still, I   54 a valuable lesson. No college, one billion dollar endowment (资助) or not, is worth the   55   I went through last year. I wish I’d had someone to tell me sooner that I didn’t have to do everything. Colleges don’t really want overachieving robots, They want people with passion(love). It doesn’t matter whether you’re a policy debater or not, as long as you show that you’re going for the things you love.

As a young man, Al was a skilled artist．He had a wife and two fine sons．One night, his oldest son developed a severe stomachache．Thinking it was only some   36   intestinal （肠内的）disorder, neither Al nor his wife took the condition very seriously．But the boy   37   suddenly that night．

43___ the alcoholism progressed, Al began to lose everything he   44   — his home, his land, his art objects, everything． 45   Al died alone in a San Francisco motel room．

I hadn't heard Ernie talk much about his 49__．One day I worked __50_ my courage to ask him．"I'm really _51__ by something," I said．"I know your father was 52  _ the only one to raise you．What on earth did he do that you became such a special person?"
Ernie sat quietly and _53__ for a few moments．Then he said, "From my earliest _54_ as a child until I left home at 18, Al came into my room every night, gave me a kiss and said, ' I love you, son．' "
Tears came to my eyes as I realized what a fool I had been to __55_ Al as a failure．He had not left any material possessions behind．But he had been a kind loving father, and he left behind one of the finest, most giving men I have ever known．

Recently I was invited to a friend’s house for supper and had a meal I have never had before.
All the friends invited were a little 31 . It’s not that Ben is unsociable , or a bad cook , but it’s just that he never 32 more than he has to. So how come he was inviting us round for a meal? Had he bought something 33 for his friends? He greeted us at the door and showed us into his dining room where a 34 table was waiting for us.“Nothing but the 35 for my friends!”said Ben. We all sat down and looked 36 at each other---what did he 37 to?
Ben returned with four bowls of hot soup.“It’s a 38 of carrots , potatoes and tomatoes,”said Ben. The next 39 was also a little strange in that we didn’t quite know what it was again. It’s just 40 mixture of vegetable.
As we ate we chatted and finally the 41 turned back to what we were eating.“Was there a recipe（食谱）for this,” asked Marina ,“or did you 42 it up?”Ben put his fork down. “What I cooked 43 what I could find.”Marina was surprised.“But you can find anything in supermarkets these days.”“But there’s 44 choice in what you can find 45 supermarkets.” He replies.
46 that we had all finished the food , Ben decided to tell the truth. He had read recently that supermarkets usually 47 away 5 percent of their food every day. So Ben decided to look inside his local supermarket bins. There he found food that was slightly out of 48 , boxes of throw-away vegetables and fruit.
So Ben had 49 provided a decent(不错的) meal for his friends , and made us aware of the fact that there are many poor people who need the food , but the amount of food thrown away is enough to 50 millions of people.
