For most of the day construction worker Sidney Smith and his brother – in – law Joseph Chambers had been 21 along the banks of Lake Waco with little 22 . Chambers suggested they go home, but Smith 33 that there were still several hours of daylight 24 and there was one other place they might try a bit longer before 25 .
Smith drove his pickup（小货车）a couple of miles along the 26 road to get to the other side of the lake. This road, in the truest sense, was a path wagging in the heavy 27 area. Even with the sun still high in the cloudless sky, the 28 of trees formed a leafy 29 over the road and it suddenly seemed 30 in the evening.
“A guy could get lost and nobody would ever find him,” said Chambers.
Smith smiled, “We’re 31 there.” He said. A few seconds later, the smile was 32 from his face.
“What the hell is that?”
He braked to a stop. Less than twenty feet away was what appeared to be a 33 .
For several minutes the two men sat in the pickup 34 to decide whether they had happened to 35 someone’s bad practical joke or something far more serious. Smith with his brother-in-law got out of the pickup and 36 walked towards that thing some distance before them.
It was a young man who was already dead. They had got to tell 37 . Back into the pickup, Smith backed the pickup down the road 38 he could turn around, then 39 back. With the dead young man still on his mind, Smith felt as if he was going to be sick. God, how he 40 they had given up fishing and gone home early.

One day last month after I received my salary, I went shopping with my little son. 21 in the 22 store, I had my pocket 23 and my whole salary was gone with it. I was so angry that I almost lost 24 of myself. What could I do? We were not very rich. The money was really not a small sum for my family. It would 25 our life greatly. How could I tell my wife?
I felt very sad and even 26 for losing the money then I got home. To make up for my27 mistake, I gathered all my strength to give our house a thorough cleaning and then prepared a wonderful meal and cooked a special dish my wife loved to 28 her.
When she came home, I 29 a smile to 30 her. She was 31 to see the neat house and delicious meal. We sat at the table and began to eat. I told my story 32 . She did not33 .It was as if she had not heard my words.
“I’ve lost my salary,” I murmured to her again.
“I see,” she did not shout at me as I had34 . She didn’t lose her35 . So I was afraid she was trying hard to36 her anger.
A moment later, my wife was still 37 and seemed to be enjoying her favourite dish. At last I could not keep asking, “I’ve lost the money. Why not shout at me?”She38 her eyes, looking at me and said, “oh, on the contrary, I’m thinking about how to39 you. It’s40 who is to blame.

I was in the queue for the supermarket checkout（付款台） earlier today．All of the checkouts were 46 , and the woman behind me was not happy! Every word that came from her mouth was a（n）47 ! She wasn’t happy with the number of checkouts 48 ; she wasn’t happy with the amount of shopping some people had in their baskets; she wasn’t happy because this supermarket didn’t have a stand where she 49 scan her own shopping．
I listened to her 50 looking around as I loaded（装） my stuff onto the conveyor belt （传送带）．I didn’t want 51 to do with that kind of attitude, and if ever I’d felt like letting someone go 52 of me, it wouldn’t be such a woman!
But then I 53 back．Standing beside the woman was a five-year-old girl, 54 her granddaughter．The girl’s part of the shopping 55 some comic books．
I couldn’t 56 it．I pushed my shopping back to the end of the conveyor belt, 57a space．“After you,” I said to the woman and the girl, and 58 them to a big59 ．The woman was delighted, and even 60 to complain ---- until she was walking away．
So,61 bother（麻烦，费事） having helped? It was because that little girl was probably taking in her granny’s complaint like a sponge（海绵）．She was learning how to 62 situations like that by listening to her granny．I’d seen that I could interrupt that complaining, and put a smile and some 63 into the middle of it．We can all complain; we can all react 64 , but it doesn’t have to be like that．And, even if only for a few 65 , I wanted to leave that little soul with just a glimpse of another way．

My mother used to ask me what is the most important part of the body. Through the years I would __36__ what I thought was the correct answer. When I was younger, I thought __37__ was very important to us as humans, so I said, "My ears, Mommy." She said, "No. Many people are __38__. But you keep thinking about it and I will ask you again soon."
Several years passed __39__ she asked me again. Since making my first __40__, I had often thought of the correct answer. So this time I told her, "Mommy, sight is very important to everybody, so it must be our eyes." She looked at me and told me, "You are __41__ fast, but the answer is not correct because there are many people who are blind."
__42__ the years, Mother asked me a couple more __43__ and always her answer was, "No, but you are getting __44__ every year, my child." Then last year, my Grandpa died. Everybody was heart broken. Everybody was crying. My Mom looked at me when it was our __45__ to say our final good-bye to Grandpa. She asked me, "Do you know the most important body part yet, my dear?"
I was __46__ when she asked me this now. I always thought this was a __47__ between her and me. She saw the __48__ on my face and told me, "This question is very important. It shows that you have really __49__ your life." I saw her eyes well up with tears. She said, "My dear, the most important body part is your __50__." I asked, "Is it because it holds up your head?" She replied, "No, it is __51__ on them a crying friend or loved one can rest their head. I only hope that you have enough __52__ and friends that you will have a shoulder to cry __53__ when you need it." Then and there I knew the most important body part is not a __54__ one. It is sympathetic to the pain of __55__.
