Mrs. Jones was over eighty, but she still drove her old car like a woman half her age. She loved driving very fast, and was proud of the fact she had never, in her thirty-five years of driving, been punished a driving offence (犯规,犯法). Then one day she nearly her record. A police car her, and the policemen in it saw her a red light without stopping. Of course, she was stopped. It seemed that she would be punished. Mrs. Jones came up to the judge, he looked at her seriously and said that she was old to drive a car, and that the why she had not stopped at the red was most probably that her eyes had become weak old age, so that she had simply not seen it. When the judge had finished what he was , Mrs. Jones opened the big handbag she was and took out her sewing. Without saying a word, she a needle with a very small eye, and threaded it at her first attempt. When she had done this, she took the thread out of the needle again and handed both the needle and the thread to the judge, saying, “Now it is your turn. I suppose you drive a car, and that you are quite sure about your own eyesight.”
The judge took the needle and tried to thread it. After half a dozen tries, he had still not succeeded. The case (案例) against Mrs. Jones was dismissed, and her record remained unbroken.

21 to do with my intelligence. I am blind. The school 22that it would be better for me to learn at a lower level because it takes me a great deal longer to complete school tasks.
The only problem with being in this class was that I was 23by "at-risk" students, who did not perform well in school and were 24 in trouble with the school and the law. On Monday mornings, the kids talked about what they had done during the past 25 . I tried not to listen, but it was almost 26not to. I heard things in that classroom that shocked me. 27
the teacher was in the room, that didn't stop my classmates from 28their stories of drugs and violence.
29 I was tired of their rude words. I even began to 30the fact that I had to be there. One Tuesday morning, I went to a Christian Student Union meeting before school, where a guest speaker talked to us about praying for our 31no matter how much we hated them.

34 what I did was automatic. When I heard their voices in class, I would pray, "Dear God, please bless so-and-so . . ." But as I continued, something was growing 35 my heart for them. My classmates gradually became more than just annoying kids to me. They began to feel like family, and I was learning to love them in a way I 36thought possible.
I now see that praying is such a 37 act. When I pray for those around me, it also 38
my life, and it changes my understanding of others. I realized God's blessings enabled me to see the world through 39eyes. The prayers I said for others 40to help me the most.

Sometimes I really doubt 36 there is love between my parents.Every day they are very busy trying to earn money in order to pay the high tuition for my brother and me.They don’t act in the romantic ways 37 I read in books or I see on TV.In their opinion, “I love you” is 38 luxurious for them to say.Sending flowers to each other on Valentine’s Day is even more out of the question.Finally my father has a bad temper.When he’s very tired from the hard work, it is easy for him to lose his temper.
One day, my mother was sewing a quilt.I silently sat down beside her and looked at her.
“Is there love between you and Dad?” I asked her in a very low 39
My mother stopped her work and 40 her head with surprise in her eyes.She didn’t answer immediately.Then she bowed her head and continued to sew the quilt.
I was very worried because I thought I had 41 her.I was in a great embarrassment and I didn’t know what I should do. 42 at last I heard my mother say the following words:
“Susan,” she said 43 , “Look at this thread.Sometimes it appears, but most of it disappears in the quilt.The thread really makes the quilt strong and durable.If life is a quilt, then love should be a thread.It can hardly be seen 44 or anytime, but it’s really there. 45 is inside.”
I listened carefully but I couldn’t understand her 46 the next spring.At that time, my father suddenly got sick seriously.My mother had to stay with him in the hospital for a month.When they returned from the hospital, they both looked very pale.It seemed both of them had had a 47 illness.
After they were back, every day in the morning and dusk, my mother helped my father walk slowly on the country road.My father had 48 been so gentle.It seemed that they were the most harmonious couple.Along the country road, there were many beautiful flowers, green grass and trees.The sun gently glistened 49 the leaves.All of these 50 the most beautiful picture in the world.
The doctor had said my father would recover 51 two months.But after two months he still couldn’t walk 52.All of us were worried about him.
“Dad, how are you feeling now?” I asked him one day.
“Susan, don’t worry about me.” he said gently.“To tell you the truth, I just like walking with your mom.I like this kind of life.” 53 his eyes, I know he loves my mother deeply.
Once I thought love 54 flowers, gifts and sweet kisses.But from this experience, I understand that love is just a thread in the quilt of our life.Love is inside, 55 life strong and warm..
