If I hold it for a day, you will have to 27 an ambulance. It is exactly the 28 weight, but the longer I hold it, the 29 it becomes.” The whole audience became silent, lost in thought.
After a moment, the lecturer continued, “ 30 we carry our burden all the time, 31 , we will not be able to carry on with the burden becoming increasingly heavier, 32 heavy for us to bear.

There are great doctors and perhaps it is enough to say that Dr Charles Mayo was one． 36 ，it is not enough for me．
Charles Mayo was not a 37 of mine in the sense that he would 38 by for dinner or remember my daughter’s graduation．We were not that 39 ，for he lived in Minnesota and I lived in California．He was a friend in the sense that he 40 more like a friend than a doctor when he was being a doctor．
I got very close to him just once．More 41 ，he got very close to me．I was flying my own plane to Washington and I felt a serious 42 in my back．It turned around， 43 for a clinic nearby and got in 44 with Dr Jan，my doctor．Jan at once said I had appendicitis (阑尾炎) and I told him he was the 45 doctor I had ever met．“I have no fever and any other symptoms of it．How can I 46 have appendicitis?”
“If you want to 47 better as quickly as possible，we’ll have Charles Mayo look at you．”It took Charles Mayo about thirty seconds to 48 to Jan’s request．
Charles was washing his hands when I was 49 into the operation room．I said，my
50 shaking，“You have done this before，haven’t you?”
“Of course，”he said．“Twice．”
Among all his interests he was craziest about being a doctor．He faced 51 often enough to know that while it is final in a sense，it is not 52 final at all．He enjoyed 53 too much not to know that it has a meaning beyond here and now．
54 he died on July 29，1968，at the age of seventy，following an accident，he lived on in the 55 of his books．I am glad he wrote them，giving people the feeling that we still have him．

She just looked at me with her huge, tired brown eyes and said, “Oh honey, I’m not going to eat this lunch.” I was 50 ,but before I could say anything, she continued, “You see, I have a little girl and she 51 loves McDonald’s, but I don’t have money. But you know what…tonight she is going to have McDonald’s!”
I don’t know if the kids 52 the tears in my eyes. So many times I had questioned whether our acts of kindness were too 53 or insignificant to really effect change. 54 in that moment, I recognized the 55 of Mother Teresa’s words: “We cannot do great things—only small things with great love.”

Until I took Dr. Offutt’s class, I was an underachieving student. But I left that class
50 _never to underachieve again. He not only taught me to think, he convinced me, as much by examples as words, that it was my _51 obligation to do so and to serve others.
Neither of us could know how our relationship would 52 over the years. When I first came back to DeMatha to teach English, I worked for Dr. Offutt, the department chair. My discussions with him as he mentored me were like graduate seminars in adolescent (青少年) 53 , classroom management and school leadership.
After several years, I was 54 department chair, and our relationship shifted again. I thought that it might be 55 to chair the department, since all of my former English teachers were 56 there, but Dr. Offutt supported me 57 . He knew when to give me advice about curriculum, texts and personnel, and when to let me 58 my own course.
In 1997, I needed his 59 about leaving DeMatha to become principal at another school. 60 he had asked me to stay at DeMatha, I might have. 61 , he encouraged me to seize the new opportunity.
Five years ago, I became the principal of DeMatha. 62 , Dr. Offutt was there for me, letting me know that I could 63 him as I tried to fill such big shoes. I’ve learned from him that great teachers have an inexhaustible wealth of lessons to teach. Even if his students don’t know it yet, I know how 64 they are: I’m still one of them.

The House Fairy
As young parents, my husband and I felt that at age 6 and 8, our children were old enough to be cleaning their rooms and making their beds. But they thought 36 . My complaints, repeating myself, even self-justified shouting were landing on 37 ears. I felt frustrated (沮丧的) , and very often a whole afternoon’s scolding would end with their 38 into tears, I realized I needed to 39 my methods of “mothering”.
One day while they were at school, I had great fun 40 their rooms. On their desks, in plain 41 , I left the cards: “Dear Bill (the other card was 42 to Sarah), your room was messy this morning and I’m sure you like it clean. Love, the House Fairy.” 43 arriving back, the children were 44 excited to receive the little note from the House Fairy. The next day, their rooms were fairly tidy. Sure enough, there was another note from the House Fairy 45 for them, thanking them for their nice “gift” of a clean room and 46 asking them to play a certain violin 47 . Each day, thank--you notes would be worded differently to keep the ideas 48 .
Sometimes the House Fairy would propose a little 49 : “If you can finish your homework today and 50 it before dinner, I’ d like to watch a particular television program with you tonight.” Sometimes some colored markers or other little items would be left in 51
of jobs especially well done the day 52 .
53 I can’t remember how long “the House Fairy” continued leaving her love notes. When they were no longer age appropriate (合适的), we used various versions of Post-Its. The bathroom mirror became the 54 centre of our home. Appointments, notices about visiting relatives, lesson schedules, and changes in plans could be posted.
We all benefited from and 55 the idea of sharing reminders and daily details of life through notes. I believe the true legacy of the House Fairy notes survives in our frequent and enjoyable communication.

Alice, my friend’s daughter, goes to an expensive private school where she has a friend, Jane, who is on a full scholarship at this school. Jane has 36 economic resources—her father has been dead for years and her mother works 37 a maid. Although her mother works very hard, she can 38 support the family. Jane is very bright and gifted at 39 and that’s how she has got the scholarship, which included a(n) 40 for things like lunch, school uniform and music lessons.
Alice became friends with Jane and would 41 talk to her at lunch. She did it that way in order to avoid the other kids 42 her.
On her birthday last month, she 43 her new friend to her birthday party, but Jane said she couldn’t come. Alice wanted her to be 44 so much that she 45 on her coming. Eventually, the girl said, “I don’t have any 46 clothes that I could wear at your birthday party.” After a brief pause, the girl remembered, “I have a 47 from my piano performance,” and asked, “Could I 48 a skirt from you?”
Alice was happy that her friend would be 49 to come and hurried home to ask her Mum 50 she could lend her friend one of her skirts. To her surprise, her Mum said, “No.” The daughter was very 51 and angrily said to her Mum, “ 52 I could, I would give my friend all my clothes.” The Mother didn’t understand why her daughter should have had such an outburst as she’s normally very well 53 .
Finally, Alice explained to her Mother her friend’s 54 . Her Mother immediately changed her mind and said, “Yes.” She also encouraged her daughter not to feel like she should secretly be friends with Jane but to feel proud of her 55 with her.
So the true friendship seeks to give, not to take; to help, not to be helped; to minister, not to be ministered unto.
