I work as a volunteer(志愿者）for an organization that helpsthe poor in Haiti. Recently I took my son Barrett there for a week, hoping to          him.
Before setting out, I told Barrett this trip would be tiring and        . For the first two days, he said almost nothing. I worried thetrip was too          for a 17-year-old boy. Then, on day three, as wewere          over high rocky mountains, he turned to me andgrinned(咧嘴笑），" Pretty hard. "
After that there was no turning back. A five-year-old girl, wearinga dress several sizes          large and broken shoes, followed Barrettaroimd, mesmerized(着迷). He couldn't stop          . Later he said        ，" I wish I could speak French. " I was          —this from aboy who hated and          French classes throughout school.
Usually silent, he         Gaby, our host, and kept askingquestions about the country and its people. He blossomed (活拨起来).
        ，the moment that really took          breath away occurred in a village deep in the mountains. I was          a womanvillager for an article. 135 centimeters tall, she was small in figurebut strong in          . Through determination, she had learned toread and write, and          to become part of the leadership of the       .
Learning her story, Barrett was as          as I by this tinywoman's achievements. His eyes were wet and there was a          oflove and respect on his face. He had finally understood the importance of my work.
When leaving for home, Barrett even offered to stay         as avolunteer. My insides suddenly felt struck. This          achieved all I'dexpected. Soon he will celebrate his 18th birthday. He'll be a man.

If we were to keep a record of all the things we worried about during a given period of time，we would discover—in reviewing them—that the great majority of our     16     never come to pass. This means that most of the time we     17     to worrying，even the constructive（建设性的）kind that prompts us to try to come up with a     18     to what is troubling us，is wasted.     19   ，we not only caused ourselves unnecessary mental pain，but also    20   valuable minutes and hours that could have been spent elsewhere.
To     21     this，it is often necessary to subject（使……遭受）potential     22     of worry to the coldly objective. Once，before a major     23     in front of a standing-room-only audience，a member of Arturo Toscanini’s orchestra approached（接近）the great Italian conductor with a terrible    24   on his face．“Maestro（大师），”the musician said     25   ，“my instrument is not working     26   ．I cannot reach the    27    of E-flat．Whatever will I do？We are to     28     a few moments later．”
Toscanini looked with total     29      at the man．Then he    30     kindly and placed an arm around his shoulders．“My friend，”the maestro replied，“do not worry about it．The note E-flat does not    31   anywhere in the music that you will be    32   this evening．”
The next time we find ourselves in the middle of     33     about some matter，we might be wise to    34    and ask ourselves what the odds（几率）are of the problem really coming to    35   .We may be able to go on to something more constructive．
