My neighbor Peter Gate’s life was shadowed for years by the memory of his part in an outdoor adventure that resulted in the death of one of his classmates. He and his wife 21 after six years of marriage. Then the news about Peter changed. His wife Betty came back; he 22 a fine position in a company.
One day he told me what had changed his 23 : I used to think, ‘Nothing can undo what I have done.’ The thought of my guilt(罪恶感) would 24 me in the middle of a smile or a handshake. It put a wall between my wife and me. Then I had an 25 visit from the person I 26 most to see —the 27 of the college classmate who died. “Years ago”, she said, “I found it in my heart, through prayer(祈祷), to28 you. Betty forgave you. So did your friends and employers.” She 29, and then said 30, “You are the one person who hasn’t forgiven Peter Gate. Who do you think you are to 31 the people of this town and God ？” “I 32 her eyes and found there a kind of 33 to be the person I might have been if her son had lived. For the first time in my adult life I felt 34 to love and be loved.”
So, you see, it is only through forgiveness of our 35 that we gain the freedom to learn from experience. But forgiving our shortcomings doesn't mean 36 that they exist. 37 , it means 38 them honestly, realistically. 39 you forgive, you cannot love. And without 40, life has no meaning. Forgiveness is a good quality.

Childhood curiosity（好奇） can last a lifetime and I learned this from my son, Bill. When he was very young, I often took him to the 36 . He loved to read and often needed to 37 the books he’d read in order to borrow more books. One unintended 38 of his nonstop reading habits was that he even 39 at the dinner table. His mother, Mary, and I did our best to 40 him that, on certain social 41 , reading while dining with others was not a good thing.
Every summer the teachers at his school 42 give the students a reading list, and there was a contest to see who could read the most books. He was so 43 , and he always wanted to win. And he often 44 . But the main reason why he read so obsessively (着迷地) was that he was so 45 . He didn’t just want to learn about 46 things. He wanted to learn about everything.
We helped 47 his curiosity in every way. 48 an unfamiliar word came up in conversation, we’d turn to the 49 , looking up the word, and reading the definition aloud. Thus my son came to realize that if you have a question, the 50 exists somewhere. All you have to do is 51 it.
Bill remains as much of a 52 today as when he was a child, and he seems to 53 everything he reads. He’s often 54 to share what he’s learned with the next person he meets. He 55 reads at the dinner table, though — which is a good thing because the books he’s attracted to now are increasingly unappetizing (引不起食欲的): The Eradication of Infectious Diseases, Mosquitoes, Malaria & Man, and Rats, Lice, and History.

Are you a man or a mouse? When people ask this question they want to know whether you think you are a 36 person or a coward (懦夫). But you will never really know the answer to this question 37 you are tested in real life. Some people 38 they are brave but when they come face to face with real 39 , they act like cowards. Others think of themselves as cowards, but when they meet danger, they act like 40 .
Lenny had always thought of himself as a 41 person. He got worried before examinations. He worried about his job and health. All he wanted in life was to be safe and healthy.42 , on January 15th, 2002, a plane crashed into the Potomac River in Washington.
Lenny went to the river to see what was happening. He saw a woman in the43 water. Lenny did not feel afraid. He kept very 44 and did a very dangerous thing. He jumped into the Potomac, 45 to the woman, and kept her head 46 the water. Seventy-eight people died that day. Thanks to Lenny, it was not 47 .
When you are in a very dangerous situation and feel afraid, the body automatically produces a chemical in the blood. The chemical is called adrenalin. With adrenalin in the blood system, you actually feel stronger and stronger and are 48 to fight or run away. However, when you are absolutely terrified, the body can produce too much adrenalin. When this happens , the muscles become very hard and you find you can’t at all. You are then paralyzed (使无能为力) with fear. This is 49 when we are very frightened, we sometimes say we’re “petrified”. This word comes from the Greek word “petros”, which means “stone”. We are50 frightened that we become stonelike.
