My friend John always has something to tell me. He knows so much that 21 men have to have older and more worldly wise men to tell them, 22 , who to trust, how to care for others and how to live life 23 the fullest.
Recently, John lost his 24 Janet. For eight years she fought against cancer, but in the end her sickness had the last 25 . One day John took out a folded piece of 26 from his wallet. He had found it, so he told me, when he 27 up some drawers at home.
It was a 28 love letter Janet had written. The note could look like a school girl’s scrawls(潦草地写，乱涂) about her dream guy. 29 the letter was written by a woman who had had seven children, a woman who fought for her life and who 30 only had a few months left to live.
It was 31 a beautiful recipe (处方，食谱) for how to keep a marriage together. Janet’s 32 of her husband begins like this, “Loved me. Took care of me. Worried about me.”
“Helped me when I was ill.” The next 33 reads. After that she turned 34 the paper and added “Warmth. Humor. Kindness. Thoughtfulness.” And then she writes about the husband she has 35 with and loved most in her life. “ 36 there when I needed you.” The last words she wrote 37 all the others. I can see her for me when she added thoughtfully “Good friend.”
I stand beside John now, and cannot pretend to know how it feels to lose someone who is as close to 38 as Janet was to him. I need to 39 what he has to say much more than he needs to talk.
“John,” I ask. “How do you stick together with someone through 38 years—not to mention the sickness? How do I know 40 I can bear to stand by my wife’s side if she becomes sick one day?”
“You can.” he says quietly, “ If you love her enough, you can.”

There are many different ways of seeing a town for the first time. One of them is to walk around it, guide-book 36 hand. Of course, we may 37 with our guide-books the history and 38 developments of a town and get to know them. 39 then, if we take out time and 40 in a town for a while, we may get to know it better. When we 41 it as a whole, we begin to have some 42 ,which even the best guide-books do not answer. Why is the town just 43 this, this shape, this plan, this size?
