It was the summer of my freshman year of college. Instead of heading home for a nice long 1 , my friends and I had decided to 2 and take some extra courses. We had 3 the top floor of an old house to live in. My bed was 4 into a stuffy (愁闷的)former laundry room and each night was a new 5 in humidity. Still, it felt 6 to be in my own place for the first time. After the first few weeks, 7 , the thrill faded and 8 set in. I found myself sitting alone each night 9 my home and my parents.
My summer holidays had always been a 10 time. I spent hours playing basketball and swimming. I talked to my Mom while she tended her flowers. I 11 helping my Dad drag firewood for the winter. And every night I sat at a dinner table full of delicious food 12 with love while my family filled the room with the sound of sweet 13 . Now I found myself missing them 14 than ever.
Finally when my 15 were at their lowest, I heard a 16 at the door. I opened it and was 17 to see my parents standing there with big smiles to fill my 18 heart and a box full of food to feed my hungry friends. We spent the afternoon eating 19 , and just being together. It felt so good, and I felt so loved.
Victor Hugo wrote that, “The supreme happiness of life is the 20 that one is loved; loved for oneself, or better yet, loved despite oneself.” It was that gift of happiness that my parents gave me that afternoon and every day of my life.

The Man was very sad. He knew that the Cat's days were 31 . The doctor had said there wasn't anything more that could be done, that he should take the Cat home and make him as 32 as possible.
The man put the Cat on his lap and 33 .The Cat opened his eyes, purred and looked up at the Man. A tear
34 down the Man's cheek and 35 on the Cat's forehead. The Cat gave him a slightly annoyed look.
" Why do you cry, Man?" the Cat asked. "Because you can't 36 the thought of losing me? Because you think you can never replace me?" The Man 37 "yes".
"And where do you think I'll be 38 I leave you?" the Cat asked. The Man shrugged helplessly. " 39
your eyes, Man," the Cat said. The Man gave him a questioning look, but did as he was told.
"What color are my eyes and fur?" the Cat asked. " Your eyes are gold and your fur is a rich, warm brown," the Man replied.
"And where is it that you most often 40 me?" asked the Cat. “I see you. . . on the kitchen window
41 the birds …,on my favorite chair. . . on my desk lying on the papers I need. . . on the pillow next to my
42 at night. " "Then, whenever you wish to see me, all you must do is close your eyes," said the Cat.
“Pick up that piece of string from the floor——there, my ‘toy’ .” he Man opened his eyes, then 43 over and picked up the string. It was about two feet long and the Cat had been able to 44 himself
for hours with it. '"Now take each end of the string in one hand," the Cat ordered. The Man did so.
"The end in your left hand is my birth and the end in your right hand is my 45 . Now bring the two ends together," the Cat said. The Man obeyed.
"You have made a continuous 46 ," said the cat. "Does any point along the string appear to be different, worse or better than any other part of the string?" The Man inspected the string and then 47 his head " no".
The Man shut his eyes hard as the tears poured down his face. He saw the Cat on the 48 , then in his bed, then lying across his important papers. He saw him on the pillow next to his head, saw his bright gold eyes and darkest brown on his nose and ears. He opened his eyes and 49 his tears looked over at the circle of string he still held in his hand.
One day, not long after, there was a new Cat on his lap. She was lovely and white…very different from his earlier 50 Cat and very much the same.

After years of searching, a truth seeker was told to go to a cave, in which he would find a well. “Ask the well what is 36 , ” he was advised, “and the well reveal (告诉，揭露) it to you.” Having found the well, the seeker asked that most basic and important 37 . And from the depths came the answer: “Go to the village crossroad, and there you shall find what you are seeking.”
Full of 38 the man ran to the crossroad to 39 only three rather uninteresting shops. One shop was selling pieces of metal, another sold 40 , and thin wires were for sale in the third. Nothing and no one there seemed to 41 much to do with the revelation of truth.
Disappointed, the seeker returned to the well to demand an 42 , but he was told only: “You will 43 in the future.”
As years went by, the 44 of his experience at the well gradually 45 until one night, while he was walking, the sound of sitar (西塔琴) music 46 his attention. It was wonderful and it was 47 with great skill and inspiration.
Deeply 48 , the truth seeker felt drawn towards the 49 . He looked at the fingers dancing over the strings. And then suddenly he let out a cry of joyful 50 : the sitar was made out of wires and pieces of metal and wood just like 51 he had once seen in the three stores.
At last he understood the 52 of the well: we have already been given everything we need; our 53 is to assemble (聚集) and use them in the proper way. Nothing is 54 so long as we recognize only fragments (碎片). But as soon as the pieces are put together, something new appears, whose nature we could not have 55 by considering the fragments alone.

Behind our house is the start of a fascinating trail (小径). This trail is one of the old roads that wind through untold miles of forest. My 36 , Beans, and I walk the trail frequently. Normally, Beans sniffs alongside the trail to follow the smell of a deer track or 37 some cause known only to him.
