I take the train into work every morning from a train station near my house. I can get to the station quite 31 because there’s a short cut(捷径) to the station. But in the summer, it can get quite smelly because of all the 32 . So I always try to 33 through it. Today I was trying to do so as usual when something made me stop for a moment. I saw the most beautiful 34 by an old woman walking in front of me with the help of a white stick.
She was short and 35 and had white hair. She was walking 36 as each step took some effort. I hadn’t specially noticed her at first, until she stopped near a rubbish bin.
She slowly placed her walking stick 37 the rubbish bin. Then she leaned(倾斜) on it with her right hand. She bent down and reached for the rubbish. She clearly found it difficult and it took her a while. She 38 some rubbish with her left hand and slowly straightened herself up again. All the while she used the rubbish bin to 39 herself. She threw the rubbish inside the bin and then 40 walking. It all took her great effort.
There’s so much rubbish and no one ever does 41 about it. I was moved to see this old woman make such a great effort to keep even a small part of it clean! I haven’t been able to 42 thinking about that all day.
I want to follow her example. I’ve decided to pick up rubbish off the ground if I meet from now on. I hope people will do the same as I do.

I don’t remember when it first started annoying me — her hands pushing my hair that way. But it 36 annoy me, for 37felt work-worn and rough against my young skin. 38 , one night, I shouted out at her, “Don’t do that anymore — your hands are too rough!” She didn’t say anything in 39. But never again did my mother close out my day with that familiar 40 of her love. Lying awake long afterward, my words stuck to me. But pride kept my conscience back, and I didn’t tell her I was 41.
Time after time, with the passing years, my thoughts 42 to that night. By then I missed my mother’s hands, missed her goodnight kiss upon my forehead. Sometimes the incident seemed very 43, sometimes far away. But always it hid in the back of my 44 .
Well, the years have passed, and I’m not a little girl any more. Mom is 45 her mid-seventies and those hands I once thought to be so rough are 46doing things for me and my family. She cooks the best fried chicken in the world, gets stains out of blue jeans and still 47 on dishing out ice cream at any hour of the day or night. Through the years, my mother’s hands have put in countless hours of labor.
Now, my own children are grown and gone. Mom no longer has Dad, and on special occasions, I find myself drawn next door to 48 the night with her. So it was late on Thanksgiving Eve, as I slept in the bedroom of my 49, a familiar hand hesitantly stole 50 my face to brush the hair from my forehead. Then a kiss, ever so gently, touched my eyebrow.
In my memory, for the thousandth time, I recalled the night, when my young voice 51 , “Don’t do that anymore — your hands are too rough!” Catching Mom’s hand in hand, I spoke out how sorry I was 52that night. I thought she’d remember, 53 I did. But Mom didn’t know what I was talking about. She had forgotten — and forgiven — long ago.
That night, I fell asleep with a new 54 for my gentle mother and her 55hands.
