Many years ago, I owned a service station and roadhouse on the main road between Melbourne and Adelaide.
One very cold, wet night at about 3:30 a.m., there was a36 on the front door of our house. A young man, wet from 37 to toe, explained that he had38 out of petrol about 30 km up the road. He had left his pregnant(怀孕的) wife and his two children39 at the car and said that he would hitchhike(搭便车) back.
Once I had40a can with petrol, I took him back to his car where his two-year-old and four-year-old children were both41 ,saying that they were cold. Once the car had started, I suggested that he42 me back.
Before leaving, I had turned the heater 43 in the roadhouse, so that when we went in, it was nice and44 .While the little ones played and ran 45 ,I prepared bread and butter for the children, and hot chocolate for the46 .
It was about 5 a.m. before they47 .The young fellow asked me how much he 48 me and I told him that the petrol pump(加油泵) had 49 $15.He offered to pay “call-out fee”,but I wouldn’t accept it.
About a month later, I received a 50 from Interstate, a large bus company that we had been trying to 51 to stop off at our roadhouse for a long time. It 52 out that the young fellow I had helped was its general manager, the most 53 person in the company.
In his letter, he thanked me again and54 me that, from then on, all their buses would stop at my service station. In this 55 ,a little bit of kindness was rewarded with a huge amount of benefits.

And when someday I say to you that I do not want to10 any more ---- that I want to rest forever, do not get 11 . Someday you will understand.
Try to understand that my age is not lived but survived. Some day you will discover that, despite(尽管) my mistakes, I always wanted the 12 thing for you and that I tried to prepare the way for you. You must not feel sad, angry or impotent( 无可奈何 ) for seeing me13 you. You must be next to me, try to understand me and to help me as I did it when you14 living. Help me to walk, help me to end my way with love and 15 .
I love you, Son.
Your father

Sarah came running in. She shouted happily, "Look what I ____36_____." She put a snake skin on the newspaper I was reading and it came so suddenly that it caused me to ____37_____. "Mom, look!

Everything children see ____40_____is full of beauty in their eyes; they see only ____41_____ and excellence in the world until educated.
"____42_____ did the snake do this?" Sarah asked. I tried to seize the ____43_____ to teach my children that there was almost always something beyond the obvious. I wanted to tell them that there was something else going on ____44_____ what they saw in front of them. "Snakes shed (蜕) their skin because they need to renew themselves," I ____45_____.
"Why do they have to renew themselves?" Sarah asked.
My son Robert laughed and said, "Because they don't ____46_____ what they are and they want to be someone else." I politely ignored him and said that by shedding skins, we could ____47_____ the hidden reality.
"We often need to shed our skin, those coatings that we ____48_____ ourselves with," I said to my children, who listened very ____49_____, with their eyes wide open. "This snake ____50_____ needs this skin. It is probably too hard for him, or he probably doesn't think he looks as ____51_____in it as he once did. It's like buying a new ____52_____."
I'm sure this explanation will not ____53_____ the naturalists. But Sarah was getting to understand that renewal is part of ____54_____. She should learn from it what we need to keep and what we need to ____55_____.
