Several years ago, while attending a communication course, I experienced a most unusual process．The instructor asked us to list   36  in our past that we felt   37    of, regretted, or incomplete about and read our lists aloud．
This seemed like a very  38  process, but there' s always some   39 soul in the crowd who will volunteer．The instructor then   40  that we find ways to   41  people, or take some action to right any wrong doings．I was seriously wondering how this could ever  42   my communication．

After drinking a few beers, we climbed the tall water tank in the middle of the town, and wrote on the tank in bright red paint: Sheriff Brown is a s．o．b．（畜生）．The next day, almost the whole town saw our glorious   46 ．Within two hours, Sheriff Brown had us in his office．My friends told the truth but I   47 ．No one ever found out.
