Janie, the driver, tries to break the   38 atmosphere by striking the match of conversation. I try to mind my manners and   39 listen, but usually I am too busy thinking about my day. On this day,   40 , her conversation was worth listening to.
“My father’s sick,” she said to no one in   41 . I could see the   42 and fear in her eyes. With a sudden change of attitude and interest, I asked, “What’s wrong with him?”
With her eyes wet and her voice tight from   43 the tears, she responded, “Heart trouble,” her eyes lowered as she   44 , “I’ve already lost my mum, so I don’t think I can stand losing him.”
I couldn’t respond. I was   45 . My heart   46 for her. I sat on the old, smelly seat thinking of the great   47 my own mother was thrown into when her father died.

I suddenly felt very   51 . I realized I had only thought of people as   52 as what their purposes were in my life. I paid no attention to Janie because she was a bus driver. I had judged her by her job and brushed her off as   53 .
For all I know, I’m just another person in   54 else’s world, and may not even be important. I   55 not have been so selfish and self-centred. Everyone has places to go, people to see and appointments to keep. Understanding people is an art.

I was a single parent of four small children, working at a low-paid job. Money was always tight, but we had a    21    over our head, food on the table, clothes on our backs, and if not a lot, always    22  . Not knowing we were poor, my kids just thought I was strict. I’ve always been glad about that.
It was Christmas time, and although there wasn’t money for a lot of gifts, we planned to celebrate with a family party. But the big   23   for the kids was the fun of Christmas. Fortunately, I had saved $120 for    24   to share by all five of us.
The big    25   arrived. I gave each kid a twenty – dollar bill and    26    them to look for gifts of about four dollars each. Then everyone scattered. We had two hours to shop; then we would meet back at the “Santa’s Workshop”.
Driving home, everyone was in high Christmas spirits, except my younger daughter, Ginger, who was unusually    27   . She had only one small, flat bag with a few candies － fifty – cent candies! I was so angry, but I didn’t say anything until we got home. I called her into my bedroom and closed as the door, ready to be angry again. This is what she told me.
“ I was looking around    28   of what to buy, and I stopped to read the little cards on the ‘Giving Trees’. One was for a little girl, four years old, and all she wanted for Christmas was a doll. So I took the card off the tree and    29   the doll for her. We have so much and she doesn’t have anything.”
I never felt so   30   as I did that day.

I’d meant to go to Miros that day. I’d packed my bag and was ready. The motor-boat__36__ in on time. The sky was cloudy, but the wind wasn’t too strong for the two-hour __37__. I stood at my window, staring at the boat. Then I lost __38__ of her, an old light-house partly blocked my view of the harbour. A dozen passengers were __39__ their way there. I was about to join them---when a man’s face __40__ at the light-house window.
This was strange, because the light-house had been empty, unused and __41__ for thirty years. It was stranger still---because I’d seen that __42__ before. I couldn’t place it but it was, or had once been, familiar to me. I opened my window and __43__ across.
“I know we’ve met before, but I can’t remember where.”
I __44__ him to open his if he could and answer me. He did neither. The face behind the glass __45__ motionless. Seeing him more clearly now, I knew he was not looking at me. He seemed to be looking upwards, __46__ the clouds. How well I’d known that face, sometime, somewhere!
I __47__ again. “We met years ago. Was it in Athens in the 1950s? I used to live in Plaka.”
He didn’t reply nor give any __48__ that he’d heard. I went back further, to __49__ I was in the navy.” Perhaps we met at sea during the war,” and that thought at once __50__ him to mind. Commander Leftis! He was Commander Leftis of course! How could I have forgotten? I’d saved his life once. But surely he…
The motor-boat __51__ her bell. I turned my eyes. The wind had risen, but she was pulling. __52__. Laughing, I called, “Now I’ve missed her, and it’s your __53__, Commander!’
As the boat drew away, the face at the window faded. __54__ minute it was there, looking up. I could see the whites of the eyes. The __55__ it was gone.
Well, I didn’t rush to the light-house. I knew that Leftis was dead. He died at sea in 1963 or ’64. But there’s one other thing I ought to tell you: the motor-boat never reached Miros. It was lost in a storm, with all the passengers.

One windy spring day, I observed young people having fun using the wind to fly their kites. Multicolored creations of varying shapes and sizes   36 the skies like beautiful birds dancing. As the strong winds blew against the kites, a string kept them under   37 .
Instead of blowing away with the wind, they arose against it to achieve great   38 . They __39 and pulled, but the restraining string and the clumsy tail kept them in tow (拖着), facing upward and against the   40 . As the kites struggled and trembled against the string, they seemed to say, “Let me go! Let me go! I want to be   41 !” They flew beautifully even   42 they fought the restraint of the string. Finally, one of the kites succeeded in getting   43 . “Free at last,” it seemed to say. “Free to fly   44 the wind.”
Yet freedom from restraint simply put it at the   45 of an unsympathetic wind. It flew up and down to the ground and   46 in a mass of weeds and string against a dead bush. “Free at last”, free to lie powerless in the dirt, to be blown   47 along the ground.
How much like   48 we sometimes are. The heaven gives us adversity (逆境) and restrictions,   49 to follow from which we can grow and  50 strength. Some of us resist the rules so hard that we never fly to reach the heights we might have   51 . We keep part of the rules and never   52 high enough to get our tails off the ground.
Let us each rise to the great heights,   53 that some of the restraints that we may be annoyed at are   54 the powerful force that helps us climb and   55 our goal.
