Two hours later, your friend wakes you. You ask, “Why didn’t you wake me after one hour?” He 39 that he thought you asked him to wake you in two hours and that is what he said.

What, then, is the 54 if it’s not the people?
It’s the system. The system failed in 94% of the 55 , not the people.

You know it’s truly amazing how the Jewish people survived after thousands of years of being slaves, persecuted(追捕), and even attempted genocide (种族灭绝)when Hitler’s Nazi murdered 6 million Jews! That’s why in 1934, Germany was the 36 place to be a Jew. When Hitler’s teenage gangs 37 his village, the little 38 boy, Heinz, was just 11 years old.
Every day Heinz’s parents taught their 39 how important it was to learn 40 . When the Nazi gangs terrorized their village on the streets daily, Heinz’s parents knew that just one moment of losing control of their 41 against their rulers could 42 the death of the family. So Heinz learned to stay out of their 43 , sometimes crossing the street or taking a 44 road home.
But one day, young Heinz was finally 45 by one of Hitler’s bullies(暴徒). For the first time, Heinz was 46 to talk to a Nazi youth. But by staying calm and 47 choosing his words, Heinz surprised himself when he 48 his way out of trouble and 49 this bully not to hurt him 50 to let him go. That day, Heinz discovered his survival skill of talking and 51 with others. It was a major 52 point that changed his life---and later changed the world.
After a few years, Heinz’s family escaped from Germany and moved to America. But Heinz never forgot how to talk with people and help bring 53 between enemies. You see, that 11-year-old boy who had 54 his first peace settlement with a Nazi bully, later became one of the greatest ambassadors of peace in the world. You’ve probably heard of him- not as Heinz- but by his American name: Henry Kissinger, the 55 US Secretary of State.

By Thanksgiving, she had collected only $49. I said, “ You 23 have your pick from my bicycle 24 .” “Thanks, Daddy. But your bikes are so old.” She was right. All my girls’ bikes were 1950s models, not the kind a kid today would 25 choose.
As Christmas 26 near, Emily and I went bike shopping. As we left one store, she 27 a Salvation Army volunteer standing next to a big pot. “Can we give something, Daddy ?” she asked. “Sorry, Em , I’m out of 28 .”
Throughout December, Emily continued to 29 hard. Then one day, she made a 30 announcement. “You know all the money I’ve been saving ?” she said hesitantly. “I’m going to give it to the poor people.” So one cold morning before Christmas, Emily handed her total savings of $ 58 to a volunteer who was really very 31 .
32 by Emily’s selflessness, I decided to contribute 33 of my old bicycles to a car dealer who was collecting used bikes for poor children. 34 I selected a shiny model from my collection, however, it seemed as if a second bike took on a glow(发光). Should I contribute two? No, one would be enough. But I couldn’t 35 the feeling that I should give a second bike. When I later 36 the bikes, the car dealer said, “You’re making two kids very 37 , sir. Here are your tickets. For each bicycle contributed, we’re 38 away one chance to win a girls’ mountain bike.”
Why wasn’t I surprised when that second ticket proved to be the 39 ? I like to think it was God’s way of 40 a little girl for a sacrifice beyond her years--- while giving her dad a lesson in the process.
