Mr. Glen is a millionaire. Five years ago, after returning from abroad to his motherland, he 36 up his small company. Speaking of success, Glen often tells us a story about his 37 expensive “school” fees. He always owes his success to it.
At that time, Glen, who already got a PH Degree, decided to return to the motherland, starting a company. Before 38 , he bought a Rolex watch with the 39 made through years of work after school and the scholarships. At the airport he had to accept the routine customs check. The watch on his wrist was also demanded to be 40 down for inspection. Glen knew that carrying the 41 goods out had to pay the tax. And he worried about paying 42 for his watch. So when he was checked, he told a lie that his watch was a worthless 43 . When he was 44 of his “smarts”, immediately , 45 the presence of Glen, the officers hit the watch, which 46 nearly 100,000 yuan into pieces at hearing Glen’s words. Glen was amazed. 47 he understood why, he was taken to the office to be 48 strictly. For many times of entry-exit 49 he knew that only those people in the “blacklist” would “enjoy” this special treatment. The officers looked out every thing carefully in the box, and warned him 50 time of entry and exit he must accept the check and if 51___ reusing and carrying fake and shoddy(劣质的) goods, he would be charged according to law! Suddenly, his face turned red, and he had nothing in mind after 52 the plane for long.
After returning to the homeland, he often told the story to his family, and his employees,
too. He said that this made a deep 53 on him, because an additional high “school” fee that
he had ever paid made him realize the value of 54 , which he would 55 as a secret of
his success forever.

Our children grew up on peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, although my husband and I sometimes sneak one late at night with a glass of milk. I believe that the success of this 31 lovedconcoction(混合物) lies not in the brand of peanut butter, 32 in the jelly. The right jelly 33 the palate, and homemade is the only choice.
My mother-in-law was the jelly maker in this family. This limited choice was a welcome 34 in the days of toddlers, siblings and puppies. All I did was to 35 baby food jars, which my mother-in-law would seal with wax(蜡) and 36 back home with us. 37 I wanted to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich , all I had to do was reach for one of little jars. Jelly making was just a way of 38 for my mother-in-law. She always did it, setting the 39 jelly on the shelves .
My father-in-law died several years ago and this past December, she also 40 . Among the things in the house to be divided by her children were the 41 canned goods.
The other day I reached my pantry(储物间) for jelly for a quick sandwich. Sitting all alone on the far side of the shelf was a small jar of grape jelly, whose lid was 42 in places. 43 on it were “GR” for grape and the year when the jelly was made.
As I picked up the jar, I suddenly realized something that I had 44 to see earlier. This was the last jar we would ever have from the 45 , loving hands . We hardly ever opened a jar of jelly at table without 46 about those thousands of little jars she had filled. It seems like such a small thing, and most days it was something that was 47 for granted.
No longer was it just a jar of jelly. It was the end of a family 48 . We have hundreds of pictures and many more memories that we expect to 49 the years and to pass on to our children. The jar of jelly won’t keep that long. It will either have to be eaten or 50 ...but not today.
