Since then, for the past thirty-three years, I've looked 38 the mirror every morning and asked myself, "If today were the last day of my life, what would I do ?" And when there was no answer for too many days in a 39 , I know I need to change something.

After seating myself in my room and turning on my computer, I noticed a Post-it note stuck to my monitor(显示器). It read, “Don’t 36 your computer. You stayed up until midnight doing your homework last night.—Mom.” I 37 the note into the wastebasket. “Why do they 38 ?” I thought. “They’re never here anyway.”
Right after high school started, I almost 39 contact with my parents. With all their business 40 , they asked the neighbors to watch over me. Of course, the neighbors didn’t do such a(n) 41 job, as they had kids of their own to worry about. The only means of 42 between me and my parents was through Post-it notes.
After spending about eight hours away from home, I usually came home to find the house 43 empty. It made me sad. I would come home from school to be welcomed by 44 , to talk to no one and to be watched over by my neighbors. That was when I started 45 more clubs and staying after school more often 46 I didn’t have to feel so lonely. Luckily, at school, my friends were there 47 me. They were all there to give me a 48 or talk with me when I wanted to talk. I felt 49 when I was at school. Yet, something was still 50 — my parents.
Now I realize that nobody can 51 my parents. I wish that they would be there at home, 52 me to come back from school. There are 53 things my parents don’t know about me. I wish that they actually had a(n) 54 to understand me. I want them to understand that they’re my parents and I’m their kid and I 55 them.

I moved to a new neighborhood two months ago. In the house with a large 16 across the road lived a taxi driver, a single parent with two school-age children. At the end of the day, he would17 his taxi on the road. I18 why he did not park it in the garage.
Then, one day I learnt that he had another car in his garage. In the afternoon he would come home19 work, leave his taxi and go out for his 20 affairs in his other car, not in his taxi. I felt it was 21.
I was curious to see his personal car but did not make it until I 22 to be outside one evening two weeks 23 , when the garage door was 24 and he drove out in his “own” car: a Rolls-Royce(劳斯莱斯)! It shook me completely 25 I realized what that meant. You see, he was a taxi driver. But 26 inside, he saw himself as something else: a Rolls-Royce owner and a(n) 27 . He drove others in his taxi but himself and his children in his Rolls-Royce. The world looked at his taxi and 28 him a taxi driver. But for him, a taxi was just something he drove for a living. Rolls-Royce was something he drove for a(n) 29 .
We go to bed every night and 30 every morning as parents or children, not as bankers, CEOs or professors. We go for a 31 as close friends or go for a vacation as a 32 . We love life as it is. Yet often, we base our entire happiness and success on how high we 33 the social ladder(阶梯)—how much bigger and better a 34 we have. And we ignore(忽视)our Rolls-Royce, by keeping it dusty in our garage. We should focus more on 35 we are than what we do!
