It was at a concert that I happened to find David. He was holding his head at a strange 36 as if he were staring down at something. Then the truth 37 me. He was blind. The last thing he remembers seeingwas his daughter being born. Then the whole world went 38 .
Bad luck is no stranger to this 44-year-old man. His mother died of cancer, and his weak father had to 39 11-year-old David to the 40 of the state.
Things seemed always to go for 41 . Two years ago, his beloved guide dog pulled him out of the pathof a truck. David was not 42 . The dog died.
But David does not feel sorry for himself. “These are just little obstacles(障碍困难) you have to 43 in your life,” he said.
He has to make a daily two-hour trip to his working place—the X-ray department of an 44 room. It was a hard job to 45 by. Before he got it, David was determined to escape the workshop run by the Lighthouse, an organization 46 to helping blind people. He wanted a job of developing X-ray film, a job 47 everyone, not just he, must work in the dark, including those with 48 eyesight. The Lighthouse called many hospitals, with no result, 49 they offered to pay his first three months’ salary.
David works alone in a dark room that 50 of chemicals. He doesn’t wear gloves. Otherwise, he could not feel. 51 this is an emergency room, lives can be put either 52 or out of danger. His director says he trusts him 100 percent.
He makes $20,000 a year. But his motivation goes 53 money. “By working I can realize my own 54 . That’s what really counts!” he said.

The sun was shining when I got on No. 151 bus. We passengers sat jammed in heavy clothes. No one 36 . That’s one of the unwritten rules 37 we see the same faces every day, we prefer to 38 behind our newspapers. People who sit so close together are using them to keep 39 distance.
As the bus came near the Mile, a 40 suddenly rang out, “Attention! This is your 41 speaking.” We looked at the back of the driver’s head. “Put your 42 down, all of you.” The papers came down. “Now, turn and 43 the person next to you.”
Surprisingly we all did it. Still no one smiled. I faced an old woman. I saw her 44 every day. We waited for the next 45 from the driver. “Now repeat after me. Good morning, neighbor!”
But our voices were a little 46 . For many of us, this was the 47 word we had spoken that day. When we said them together, like 48 to people beside us, we couldn’t help 49 . There was the feeling of relief. Moreover, there was the sense of ice being 50 . To say the three words was not so 51 after all.
The bus driver said nothing more. He didn’t 52 to. Not a single newspaper went back up. I heard laughter, a 53 sound I had never heard before in this bus.
When I 54 my stop, I said goodbye to my seatmate, and then 55 the bus. That day I was starting happily.
