Hundreds of people have formed impressions of you through that little device(装置)on your desk. And they've never actually 21you. Everything they know about you 22through this device, sometimes from hundreds of miles away. 23 they feel they can know you 24 from the sound of your voice. That's how powerful the 25is.

Powerful, yes, but not always 26. For years I dealt with my travel agent only by phone. Rani, my faceless agent whom I'd never met 27, got me rock-bottom prices on airfares, cars, and hotels. But her cold voice really 28 me. I sometimes wished to 29 another agent.

One morning, I had to 30 an immediate flight home for a family emergency. I ran into Rani's office 31 . The woman sitting at the desk, 32 my madness, sympathetically jumped up. She gave me a 33 smile, nodded while listening patiently, and then printed out the 34immediately. "What a wonderful lady!" I thought.

Rushing out 35I called out over my shoulder, "By the way, what's your name?" "I'm Rani," she said. I turned around and saw a 36woman with a big smile on her face waving to wish me a safe trip. I was 37! Why had I thought she was cold? Rani was, well, so 38 .

Sitting back in the car on the way to the airport, I figured it all out. Rani's 39---her warm smile, her nods, her 'I'm here for you' 40 ---were all silent signals that didn't travel through wires.

A Heroic Driver

Larry works with Transport Drivers. Inc. One morning in 2009. Larry was __41__along 165 north after delivering to one of his 42 . Suddenly, he saw a car with its bright lights on. 43 he got closer, he found 44 vehicle upside down on the road. One more look and he noticed 45 shooting out from under the 46 vehicle. Larry pulled over, set the brake and 47 the fire extinguisher (灭火器). Two good bursts from the extinguisher and the fire was put out.

The man who had his bright lights on 48 and told Larry he had 49 an emergency call. They 50 heard a woman's voice coming from the wrecked (毁坏的) vehicle. 51 the vehicle, they saw that a woman was trying to get out of the broken window. They told her to stay 52 until the emergency personnel arrived, 53 she thought the car was going to 54 . Larry told her that he had already put out the fire and she should not move 55 she injured her neck.

Once fire and emergency people arrive, Larry and the other man 56 and let them go to work. Then, Larry asked the 57 if he was needed or 58 to go. They let him and the other man go.

One thing is 59 -Larry went above and beyond the call of duty by getting so close to the burning vehicle! His 60 most likely saved the woman's life.

Years ago, a critical event occurred in my life that would change it forever. I met Kurt Kampmeir of Success Motivation Incorporation for breakfast. While we were ___ 36 ,Kurt asked me, " John, what is your 37for personal growth?

Never at a loss for words, I tried to find things in my life that might 38 for growth. I told him about the many activities in which I was 39. And I went into a 40 about how hard I worked and the gains I was making. I must have talked for ten minutes. Kurt 41patiently, but then he 42smiled and said, "You don't have a personal plan for growth, do you?"

"No, I 43 .

"You know," Kurt said simply, "growth is not a(n) 44 process."

And that's when it 45 me. I wasn't doing anything 46 to make myself better. And at that moment, I made the 47 : I will develop and follow a personal growth plan for my 48 .

That night, I talked to my wife about my 49 with Kurt and what I had learned. I 50her the workbook and tapes Kurt was selling. We 51 that Kurt wasn't just trying to make a sale. He was offering a 52for us to change our lives and achieve our dreams.

Several important things happened that day. First, we decided to 53 the resources. But more importantly, we made a commitment to 54 together as a couple. From that day on, we learned together, traveled together, and sacrificed together. It was a 55 decision. While too many couples grow apart, we were growing together.

A Race Against Death

It was a cold January in 1925 in North Alaska. The town was cut off from the rest of the world due to heavy snow.

On the 20th of that month, Dr.Welch 36 a Sick boy, Billy, and knew he had diphtheria, a deadly infectious(传染的)disease mainly affecting children. The children of Nome would be 37 if it struck the town. Dr.Welch needed medicine as soon as possible to stop other kids from getting sick. 38 , the closest supply was over 1,000 miles away, in Anchorage.

How could the medicine get to Nome? The town`s 39 was already full of ice, so it couldn't come by ship. Cars and horses couldn't travel on the 40 roads. Jet airplanes and big trucks didn't exist yet.

41 January 26, Billy and three other children had died. Twemty more were 42 . Nome`s town officials came up with a(n) 43 . They would have the medicine sent by 44 from Anchorage to Nenana. From there, dogeled(狗拉雪橇)drivers-known as "mushers"-would 45 it to Nome in a relay(接力).

The race began on January 27. The first musher, Shannon, picked up the medicine from the train at Nenana and rode all night. 46 he handed the medicine to the next musher, Shannon`s face was black from the extreme cold.

On January 31,a musher named Seppala had to 47 a frozen body of water called Norton Sound .It was the most 48 part of the journey. Norton Sound was covered with ice，which could sometimes break up without warning.If that happened，Seppala might fall into the icy water below.He would 49 ,and so would the sick children of Nome.But Seppala made it across.

A huge snowstorm hit on February 1.Amusher named Kaasen had to brave this storm.At one point，huge piles of sonw blocked his 50 .He had to leave the trail (雪橇痕迹)to get around them.Conditions were so bad that it was impossible for him to 51 the trail again. The only hope was Balto，Kaasen's lead dog, Balto put his nose to the ground, 52 to find the smell of other dogs that had traveled on the trail.If Balto failed，it would mean disaster for Nome.The minutes passed by.Suddenly，Balto began to 53.He had found the trail.

At 5:30 am on February 2, Kaasen and his dog 54in Nome. Within minutes，Dr.Welch had the medicine.He quickly gave it to the sick children.All of them recovered.

Nome had been 55 .

Going to Mount Huangshan reminds me of the popular Beatles' song"The Long and Winding Road". ____56____is so breathtaking about the experience is the out-of-this-world scenes. The rolling sea of clouds you see once you are at the top will remind you how tiny we ____57____(human) are.

The hot spring at the foot of the mountain is something you must try after the climb. It will ____58____(undoubted) help you get refreshed! The amazing thing about the spring is that the colder the temperature gets, the ____59____(hot) the spring! Strange, isn't it? But that's how nature is - always leaving us ____60____(astonish).

What comes next is the endless series of steps. You can't help wondering how hard it ____61____(be) for the people then to put all those rocks into place. Though it is the only unnatural thing on your way up the mountain, still it highlights the whole adventure ____62____offers a place where you can sit down to rest your ____63____(ache) legs.

As the song goes, this long and winding road "will never disappear", and it will always stick in the visitor's memory. It sure does in ____64____(I).While you're in China, Mount Huangshan is ____65____must to visit!
