I told her that it was very 40 that she was pursuing (追求) her 41 to play the piano.
Then she asked me the same question.

She then showed me to an old upright piano in the living room and asked me to play a song for her.

I played the song to the best of my 48 , and with my emotions pouring into it as possible. She loved it. 49 I was about to step out of the door, I heard a weak voice calling out, "Young man!"
I turned around. And there was an old lady 50 one little step at a time with the help of another woman. "I wanted to come out to 51 you for the beautiful song that you played. I have been very sick, and it's very hard for me to 52 my bed, but I really wanted to thank you for the song. It made me feel good..." she said. With that, she turned around and walked 53 back to her room.
I was deeply touched by her 54 and felt a deeper understanding for the song. It served its purpose beautifully, returning to one's 55 for peace and joy.

Just ten years ago, I sat across the desk from a doctor with a serious look. “Yes,” he said, “there is a serious injury in the left lung…” I listened, too 21 to speak, as he continued, “You’ll have to 22 work at once and go to bed. Later on, we’ll see.” He gave no definite promise of recovery.
Feeling like a man who has suddenly been placed under 23 of death. In the next three days, I 24 my affairs; then I went home, got into bed, and set my watch to tick off not the minutes, 25 the months. Two and a half years and many crashed hopes later, I left my bed and began the long 26 back. It was another year before I made it.
I speak of this experience because these years that passed so 27 taught me what to believe and what to 28 . They said to me: Take time, 29 time takes you. I realize now that this world I’m living in is not my oyster（牡蛎）to be opened but my opportunity to be 30 . To me, each day is such a 31 gift. The sun comes up and presents me with 24 brand new, wonderful hours—not to pass, but to 32 .
I’ve learned to 33 those little but all-important things I never thought I had the time to notice before: the play of light on 34 water, the music of the wind in my favorite pine tree. I seem now to see and hear and feel with some of the recovered 35 of childhood. I recall the touch of the springy earth under my feet the day I first stepped upon it after the years in bed. It was like 36 one’s citizenship in a world one had nearly lost. 37 ,I sit back and say to myself, let me make a 38 of this moment I’m living right now. All this, I owe to that long time spent on the deadlines of life. Wiser people come to this awareness 39 having to acquire it the hard way. But I wasn’t wise enough. I’m 40 now, a little, and happier.
