Mr. Glen is a millionaire. Five years ago, after returning from abroad to his motherland, he 16 his small company. Speaking of success, Glen often tells us a story about his extra expensive “school” fee. He always 17 his success to it.
At that time, Glen, who already got a Ph.D. degree, 18 to return to the homeland, starting a company. Beforeleaving, he bought a Rolex watch with the 19 made through years of work after school and the scholarships. At the airport he had to accept the 20 customs check. The watch on his wrist was also demanded to be taken down for 21 . Glen knew that carrying thespecific goods out had to pay the tax, and he worried about paying 22 for his watch. So when he was checked, he told a lie that his watch was a 23 fake. When he was 24 of his “smarts”, immediately, in the presence of Glen, the officers hit the watch, 25 cost nearly 100,000, into pieces 26 hearing Glen’s words. Glen was 27 before he understood why, he was taken to the office to beexamined 28 . For many times of entry-exit 29 he knew that only those people in the “blacklist” would “enjoy” this special treatment. The officers looked over everything carefully in the box, and 30 him no matter what time of entry and exit he must accept the check and if 31 reusing and carrying fake and shoddy goods, he would be 32 according to law! Suddenly, his face turned red, and he had nothing in mind after boarding the plane for long.
After returning to the homeland, he often told the story to his family, and his employees, too. He said that this made a deep 33 on him, because the additional high “school” fee that he had ever paid made him realize the value of 34 , which he wouldremember as the 35 of his success forever.

I know I should have told the headmaster at the time. That was my real 21 .
He had gone out of the study for some 22 , leaving me alone. In his absence I looked to see what was on his 23 . In the 24 was a small piece of paper on which were written the 25 “English Writing Prize 1949. History Is a Serious of Biographies (人物传记)”.
A(n) 26 boy would have avoided looking at the title as soon as he saw the 27 . I did not. The subject of the English Writing Prize was kept a 28 until the start of the exam so I could not 29 reading it.
When the headmaster 30 , I was looking out of the window.
I should have told him what had 31 then. It would have been so 32 to say: “I’m sorry, but I 33 the title for the English Writing Prize on your desk. You’ll have to 34 it.”
The chance passed and I did not take it. I sat for the exam the next day and I won. I didn’t mean to cheat, but it was still 35 anyhow.
That was thirty-eight years ago when I was fifteen. I have never told anyone about it before, nor have I tried to explain to myself why not.

Nick was not the kind of boy I had expected to spend my summer with. I was hoping to have a 21 the summer before my busy senior year, but my mother asked me to do her a 22 . One of her colleagues needed a full-time 23 . “You planned to volunteer at the local hospital, why not volunteer to 24 Nick instead?” Then she told me that this six-year-old boy was not a 25 child.
Nick was a lovely little boy who suffered from many disorders. Normal day-care centres would not 26 him. As a baby, he had serious ear infections which left him with equilibrium (平衡) problems. He couldn’t 27 or run properly. I was hesitating (犹豫) 28 I was to take the job when my mother 29 , “Don’t you want to be a nurse in the future? I doubt if you even have the 30 .”
Then I told her I was 31 for the job.
The day started at 7:00 a.m. Nick was my wake-up call! With so much energy and very little 32 , he was quite a mix.
In the park, when he saw all the other children play on the jungle gym and swings (秋千)， the boy’s face 33 up — how he wished he belonged to the group of his age! You would think it would be 34 to get a child to go down a slide (滑梯). Believe me, it wasn’t! It took time, a lot of time. But with patience and support, Nick took one step up the slide each day. We worked together to face his 35 and gradually he got closer to taking the slide of his life.
Halfway through the summer, he 36 it to the top of the slide. With my arms 37 him tightly, we flew down the slide! I waited for hisreaction. After realizing that he was safe and sound, he gave me a big 38 and asked, “May I go down again, alone?” I had never been happier in my life when I saw this little child climb the ladder and enjoy what other children 39 for granted. This 40 child taught me that being a nurse means respect, kindness and patience.

I'd been travelling for long hours on a lonely country road when I had a flat tire. So I had to stop and get the tools to 51 the problem. It certainly wasn’t 52 doing this with a white shirt and suit on.
Nightfall was approaching. Suddenly a car pulled 53 from behind me. A man got out and offered to 54 me. Seeing his unpleasant appearance and tattoos（纹身）on his arm, I became 55 as thoughts of robberies flashed through my mind. But 56 I could say anything he had already begun to take the tools to change the 57 . While watching him I happened to look back at his car and noticed someone sitting in the passenger seat. This had 58 me.
Then, without 59 , it began to rain. He suggested that I wait in his car because my car was unsafe. As the rain increased, getting us wet within seconds, I 60 agreed. When I settle into the back seat, a woman’s voice came from the front seat. “Are you all right?” She turned around to me. “Yes, I am.’’ I replied with much 61 when seeing an old woman there. It must be his Mom, I thought. To my 62 , the old woman was a neighbor of the man who was helping me. “Jeff insisted on stopping when he saw you 63 with the tire. ”“I am grateful for his help, ” I said. “Me, too!” she said with a smile. He helped drive her to see her husband twice a week in a nursing home. She also said that he 64 at the church and tutored disadvantaged students.
The rain stopped and Jeff and I changed me tire. I tried to offer him money and of course he 65 it. It was shameful that I judged people by the way they 66 . As we shook hands I began to apologize for my 67 . He said, ‘‘I experience that same 68 often. People who look like me don’t do nice things. I 69 thought about changing the way. But then I saw this as a chance to make a 70 . So I’ll leave you with the same question I ask everyone who takes time to know me. If Jesus returned tomorrow and walked among us again, would you recognize Him by what He wore or by what He did?’’
