Last Christmas while staying with my parents, I        across some old love letters that my parents wrote to each other. These letters were all pilled up in a basket, dirty and        With dust.       to read and sort them, I asked them if I could take the letters back to my Illinois home. They agreed.
As I carefully opened each letter, all of them         with age, I discovered a new page      unknown to me in this private chapter of my parents' lives.
My father used to         in the army. So his letters were full of frontline       of the things about the war. Each of my mother's letters was marked with her 1944 dark red lipstick kiss. I was        to these letters like a magnet (磁铁).
Just six weeks after our Christmas visit, Daddy became very      . and was hospitalized. This time, he was fighting a       . kind of war. As I sat by his bedside, we discussed the        . He told me how much receiving those lipstick-kissed letters had         to him when he had been so far from home.
It so happened that the next day would he February 14. From the        letters I chose the card my father had sent Mother in 1944 and brought it to my father's bedside.
At his bedside, I joked with him, saying       , "Today is Valentine's Day, don't you want to send Mother a present?" He became more            when I handed him the old        . He carefully opened it and took out the card, and when he        it, his eyes were filled with tears.
My father, in a voice tight with        read the loving          he'd sent to my mother fifty-six years earlier. And this time, he could read it to her          .

It was the district track meeting, which we had been training for all seasons. My foot still hadn't healed from a(n)   36 injury. Actually I had hesitated whether or not to 37 the meet. But there I was, preparing for the 3,200-meter run.
"Ready... set..." The gun popped and off we were. The other girls ran ahead of me. I found myself limping(跛) and felt ashamed as I 38 farther and farther behind.
The first-place runner was two laps(圈) ahead of me when she crossed the finish line. "Hooray!" the 39  shouted with the loudest cheer I had ever heard at a meeting.
"Maybe I should quit," I   40  as I limped on. "Those people wouldn't like to wait for me to finish this race." Somehow,    41 , I decided to keep going. During the last two laps, I ran   42   and decided not to compete in track next year. I couldn't beat the girl who lapped me twice, even if my foot did 43 .
When I finished, I heard a cheer-just as 44 as the one the first-place girl received "What was that all about?" I asked myself. I turned around and sure enough, the boys were preparing for their race. "They 45   be cheering for the boys."
I went 46 to the bathroom where a girl came across me and said, "Wow, you've got courage!"
I thought, "Courage? She must be 47 me for someone else. I just 48 a race! I would have never been able to finish those two miles 49 I were you. What happened to your foot? We were cheering for you. Did you hear us?"
I couldn't believe it. A(n) 50 stranger had cheered for me-not for my victory, but for my perseverance. Suddenly I 51 hope. I decided to stick with track next year. One girl saved my 52 .
That day I learned two things. First, a 53 kindness and confidence in people can make a great difference to them. Second, strength and courage aren't measured in the 54 and victories.                                                         They are measured in the struggles we 55 .
