A while ago my family and I went sledding(滑雪橇) and as I watched my children climbing up the slope I started thinking.
Many people are convinced that most of today’s 26 problems are because of the “me” generation. Youngsters are just out for themselves and pay no 27 to others or their needs. Indeed, a common belief is that today’s youngsters won’t do anything 28 there is something in it for them.
Yet, while sledding, I saw a 29 side. I watched my two oldest children (then five and four) take my youngest(then two years old)by the hand to help her up the slippery slope 30 they went up. They would have been 31 without her, but not once did they try to sneak （溜掉）by her without helping. And when the sled 32 my two daughters was aimed toward the edge, it was my five year old son who ran to them to 33 them from falling and hurting themselves.
These children sometimes 34 among themselves and, on occasion, behave horribly. But I can 35 them shopping and know that they won’t ask for anything, I can talk to them about tsunami or hurricane victims and know that they will offer to 36 some of their own money to the cause, and I can ask them to play with those children 37 on the sideline(作为旁观者) and know that they will befriend（照顾）them.
Perhaps, therefore, the “me” generation is to blame 38 much of society’s problems—not the youngsters who want everything, 39 the adults who have taught themselves.
Most adults have been 41 at some time or another, sadly, many 42 that disappointment down to their children. Then the children learn to put themselves first!
Most young children want to help. We can 43 that feeling by teaching the lesson my children learned while sledding: Life is a slippery slope with 44 of bumps(撞伤) and bruises(擦伤), but we can all make it to the 45 if we remember to help those who need it.

Instroduction to Letters to Sam
Dear Reader，
Please allow me to tell you something before you read this book. When my 36 ,Sam, was born, my heart was filled with joy. I had been sitting in a wheelchair for 20 years before then,and I have been 37 ill many times.So I wonderfuled if would have the 38 to tell Sam what I had 39 .
For years I have been hosting a program on the 40 and writing articles for a magazine.Being 41 to move freely,I have learned to sit still and keep my heart 42 , exchanging thoughts with thousands of listeners and 43 . So when Sam was born ,I 44 to tell him about school and friendship,Romance and work,Love and everything else. That’s how I started to write these 45 . I hoped that Sam would 46 them sooner or later.
However,that expedition 47 when Sam showed signs of autism(自闭症)at the age of two.He had actually stopped talking before the discovery of the signs.He 48 to communicate with others,even the family members.That was 49 for me but didn’t stop me writing on.I realized that I had even 50 now to tell him.I wanted him to 51 what it means to be “different ”from others,and learn how to fight against the misfortune he’ll 52 as I myself,his grandfather,did. I just 53 if I could write all that I wanted to say in the rest of my life.
Now, 54 the book has been published,I have been given the chance.Every chapter in the book is a letter to Sam:some about my life,and all about what it means to be a 55 .

When Winsion Chruchill was a young man, his father concluded that Churchill was “unfit for a career in law or politics” because he did so badly in school.
When Charles Darwin was getting ready to 36 on his five-year expedition on The Beagle, his father was extremely 37 . he thought his son was falling into a life of sin and idleness.
Gorge Washington’s mother was a complaining, 38 woman by all accounts. She thought little of Washington’s achievements and didn’t 39 at either of his presidential inaugurations（就职典礼）. She was always 40 that her children overlooked her and she was especially angry when her son George ran off to 41 the army for the American Revolution. She 42 believed it was his duty to stay home and take care of her.
In his youth, the 43 Leonard Bernstein, one of the most talented and successful composers in American history, was continually pressured by his father to 44 his music and do something worthwhile, like help out in his family’s beauty-supply business. After Leonard became 45 , his father was asked about that, and he answered, “Well, how was I supposed to know he was the Leonard Bernstein?”
People may criticize you or make fun of your ideas or actively try to 46 you. Often their efforts are only attempts to protect you from 47 . But obviously failure is only a possibility if you stop. If you keep 48 , a “failure” is just another learning 49 .

So listen 51 to the worries and criticisms of your friends and family, and do your best to put their minds 52 , but then carry on. Listen last to your own heart. You 53 yourself better than anyone on earth. Make sure your song is 54 .
Listen to your own heart. Don’t let your music 55 with you.

I was told just now in the hospital that I was having a Bell's palsy attack, a condition in which the face muscles tighten because of stress. During the long car ride home, all I could think about was my coming interview.

"Hello,” a gray-haired man sitting behind the large desk 41 me. “Miss Jenkins?”
“Yes. Please excuse me. I'm having a Bell's palsy attack. My doctor explained to me that it would last a few days. I came right from the 42 .”
“You're very 43 to come when you're in such a state,” he 44 , after a pause.
He spent a few minutes looking through my 45 . “Is everything on here 46 ?” he asked.
“Yes, but I 47 to mention I type seventy-five words per minute.”
“Well, you have an impressive background with related experience, you are 48 qualified. When are you 49 ?” he asked.
I took a deep breath and asked, “You're hiring me?”
“Not only have you got the skills I'm looking for, you also have the 50 .” He gave me a big smile.

Just ten years ago, I sat across the desk from a doctor with a serious look. “Yes,” he said, “there is a serious injury in the left lung…” I listened, too 21 to speak, as he continued, “You’ll have to 22 work at once and go to bed. Later on, we’ll see.” He gave no definite promise of recovery.
Feeling like a man who has suddenly been placed under 23 of death. In the next three days, I 24 my affairs; then I went home, got into bed, and set my watch to tick off not the minutes, 25 the months. Two and a half years and many crashed hopes later, I left my bed and began the long 26 back. It was another year before I made it.
I speak of this experience because these years that passed so 27 taught me what to believe and what to 28 . They said to me: Take time, 29 time takes you. I realize now that this world I’m living in is not my oyster（牡蛎）to be opened but my opportunity to be 30 . To me, each day is such a 31 gift. The sun comes up and presents me with 24 brand new, wonderful hours—not to pass, but to 32 .
I’ve learned to 33 those little but all-important things I never thought I had the time to notice before: the play of light on 34 water, the music of the wind in my favorite pine tree. I seem now to see and hear and feel with some of the recovered 35 of childhood. I recall the touch of the springy earth under my feet the day I first stepped upon it after the years in bed. It was like 36 one’s citizenship in a world one had nearly lost. 37 ,I sit back and say to myself, let me make a 38 of this moment I’m living right now. All this, I owe to that long time spent on the deadlines of life. Wiser people come to this awareness 39 having to acquire it the hard way. But I wasn’t wise enough. I’m 40 now, a little, and happier.
