“I wouldn’t buy that woman a Mother’s Day card, even if my life depended upon it,” said the woman standing by the card shelf at Wal-Mart. I looked up and saw a(n)       of total complaint and dislike.
Having been       at a Florida orphanage at age four, I never knew what it felt like to have a mother or a father. Never once had I received a hug or a kiss from my parents. That part of my life is a total         .
She looked up, saw me looking at her and        angrily, “Just what are you looking at, you fool?”
“Sorry Ma’am. I never had a mother, and I was       by your words.” I reached over and picked up a nice-looking         , opened it and began to read, “Thank you         for being my mother.”
“Do you think your mother would like that card? Mine would, I think,” I said.
“Do you know what it is like to be        at for years, and never be told that you are loved?” she asked.
“My mother didn’t         me, let alone shout. She just took me to the orphanage where I stayed until I grew up,” I replied.
“Don’t you        her?” she asked.
“Oh, I can’t. She’s my mother. Being a mother is a position to be        , even if she is not a very nice person,” I told her. The woman stood there     her head.
I looked down at the floor and said, “I know your mother might have done a lot of things that         you. It appears as if you hate her. But I can tell you this from my       that disliking her, or even hating her, feels nowhere near as        as never having known a mother at all—good or bad. At least, you feel         . For me, it’s all just a large blank of loneliness inside my heart, and that’s        I’ll feel until I die.”
The woman stood there for a moment.          , she reached out, took the card from my hand, smelled it, and placed it in her cart.
After she left, I         a nice card for my mother. I took it home,          it, and placed it with the other Mother and Father’s Days cards bought all these years, each marked “Address Unknown”.

When we visit another country, differences in music and dance are   36   some of the first things that we notice. Every culture has   37   its own types of music and dance, which are very different from those of other societies.
Each type of music usually has a distinctive rhythm and a special sound,   38   on the kinds of instruments that are used to produce it. The most common type of instruments are   39   instruments, such as guitars and violins; wind instruments, including horns and flutes.

Societies coordinate body movements with musical rhythms to create   44 . Sometimes people dance for fun and individual expression. Dances can also be used to   45   ideas to an audience. Hawaiian dancers,   46 , use arm and hand movements to express the meaning of a song. In the same way, many societies use dances in religious ceremonies   47   to tell about important events.
Music and dance are passed from one   48 to another and thus become a permanent part of the society and   49   culture. Of course, as cultures come   50   contact with each other, the music and dance of one society may be accepted by other societies, or the different styles may be combined to   51   a new kind of music or dance. Some Latin American music, for example, has taken   52   from Indian cultures and mixed them with those from European and African cultures.   53 , popular music from England and the US can be heard in countries   54   the world,   55   it has had an influence on musical tastes, especially among young people.

My neighbor Jennifer is blind, but you’d never know it. She makes such good use of her other 36 , including her "sixth sense", that she hardly gives the impression that she has   37 anything. Jennifer looks after her children much like the rest of us, 38 that she doesn’t push too hard on them, 39 really benefit a lot from her relaxed attitude. She knows when to clean the house, and she moves around so fast that   40 often don't realize she's blind.
I 41 this the first time after my six-year-old daughter, Kayla, went to play there. When Kayla came home, she was very   42 about her day. She told me they had baked cookies, played games and done art projects. But she was   43 excited about her finger-painting project.
“Mom, guess what?” said Kayla, all smiles. “I learned how to   44 colors today! Blue and red make purple, and yellow and blue make green! And Jennifer 45   with us”. To my great 46 , my child had learnt about color from a blind friend! Then Kayla continued, “Jennifer told me my   47 showed joy, pride and a sense of accomplishment（成就感）. She really _48   what I was doing!” Kayla said she had never known how good finger paints felt   49 Jennifer showed her how to paint without looking at her paper.
I realized Kayla didn't know that Jennifer was blind. It had just never 50 in conversation. When I told my daughter that Jennifer was blind, she was 51 for a moment. At first, she didn't believe me. “But Mommy, Jennifer knew exactly what was in my picture!” Kayla 52 . And I knew my child was 53   because Jennifer had listened to Kayla describe her art work. Jennifer had also heard Kayla's 54 in her work.
We were silent for a minute. Then Kayla said slowly, “You know, Mommy, Jennifer really did ‘see’ my picture. She just used my   55 .”
Indeed, she uses a special type of “vision” that all mothers have.
