While I lived in Ireland, part of my college course was to work in the area of children with special needs. I was selected to ____ in a school with children with ____. I had numerous rooms to ____ from. I chose to work in the ____ that was apart from the school. Children ____ 5—16 with severe disabilities. They had no speech and most were in a wheelchair.
The ____ of that room asked if I would work with one girl who had ____ of epilepsy(癫痫症), autism(自闭症), and other brain development disabilities. She was 15 years old. At her school they would think that just being able to zip up(拉上拉链) her own coat was a(n) ___ . I saw more in her. She always wanted to put ____ through the shaped blocks to make a necklace. For the 5 years she was in the school, the teachers always tried to ____ her do all the work. I knew this smart girl could do ____ and so I encouraged her. She had a thumb which she could not move but I ____ her so much to try. She got very ____ most days and sometimes I wanted to quit. ____ after a week, this young girl was able to do ____ she had been wanting to do by herself for so many years. Her teacher cried when she saw what this ____ was able to do with just some encouragement.
People with disabilities should never be ____ that they can't. We are all human and with just some encouragement we can do it. The ____ on that girl's face when she was able to do it herself ___ the world to me. I wish everyone would encourage people rather than telling them they can't ____ doing it for them.

There was a man who had a little boy that he loved very much. Every day after work the man would come home and 26 with the little boy. He would always 27 all of his extra time with the little boy.
One night, while the man was at work, he 28 that he had extra work to do for the evening, and that he wouldn't be able to play with his little boy. 29 he wanted to be able to give the boy something to keep him 30 . So, looking around his office, he saw a magazine with a large 31 of the world on the cover. He got a(n) 32 . He removed the map, and then patiently tore it up into small pieces. Then he put all the 33 in his coat pocket.
When he got home, the little boy came 34 to him and was ready to play. The man 35 that he had extra work to do and couldn't play just now. He 36 the little boy into the dining room, and 37 all the pieces of the map. He spread them on the table. He explained that it was a map of the world, and that by the time he could 38 together, his extra work would be 39_, and they could both play. Surely this would keep the child busy for hours, he thought.
About half an hour later the boy came to the man and said, "Okay, it's finished. Can we play now?"
The man was 40 , saying, "That's impossible. Let's have a look." And 41 enough, there was the picture of the world, all put together every piece in its 42 .
The man said ,”That’s amazing ! How did you do that” the boy said,' It's 43. On the 44 of the page is a(n) 45 of a man. When I put the man together the whole world fell into place."

Professor Green, known to the world as a scientist, is not only 
absent-minded but short-sighted as well. His mind is always busy 41 scientific problems and seldom notices what is going on 42 him.
One fine day recently, he went 43 a walk in the countryside, but as 44 he has a book in his hand. When he went out , he began to read his book . He hadn’t gone far 45 he run into a big cow and fell down. In the fall, he had lost his glasses, without which he couldn’t see anything. He thought he had hit his head 46 a fat lady. “I’m sorry, Madam.” He said politely 47 searching for his glasses. As soon as he had 48 , he realized his mistake.
Soon he was fixing his mind on his book 49 and paid no attention to anything else. He had scarcely been walking for five minutes when he fell over again, _50 both his book and his glasses. This time he got very angry, seizing his umbrella, he gave the “cow” a wild blow. Then, after finding his glasses, he realized with horror that he made a second mistake. A large fat woman was 
fleeing from him in a horror.

When I was 17，I read a quote that went something like：“If you live each day as if it were your last，someday you’ll most certainly be right．”It made a deep 21 on me, and since then, for the past 33 years，I have 22 in the mirror every morning and asked myself：“If today were the last day of my life， 23 I want to do what I am about to do today?” And whenever the answer has been “No” for too many days in a 24 ，I know I need to change something．
Remembering that I’ll be 25 soon is the most important tool I’ve ever known to help me make the big 26 in life because almost everything falls away in the face of death， 27 only what is truly important.
About a year ago I was 28 with cancer. My doctor even advised me to go home and get my affairs 29 order，which is a doctor’s way of telling people to prepare to die．I 30 with that diagnosis all day． 31 ，at last an advanced test showed that it was a very rare cancer that is 32 with surgery．I had the surgery and I’m fine now.
33 wants to die．Even people who want to go to heaven don’t want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all 34 ．No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be，because death is very likely the single best invention of 35 ．It is life's change agent. It clears out the old to 36 for the new．Right now the new is you．But someday not too 37 from now，you will gradually become the old and be cleared away．Sorry to be so dramatic，but it is quite true．
Your time is 38 ，so don’t waste it living someone else’s 1ife．Don’t be 39 by dogma(教条) —which is living with the results of other people’s thinking．Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner 40 ．And most importantly，have the courage to follow your heart.
