Richard’s father died when he was five. Later on he      his mother again. The poor boy had to live on his own, so he went to work for a rich farmer, who paid him nothing except food and clothes. An old woman felt      for him and often helped him. The boy wanted to go to      very much, but he had no money. But he never gave up and found some old books near the school and      himself to read and write.
There was a narrow path(小路) between two mountains which connected the village and the town. One morning people      there was a big stone on the path. It brought them difficulty: they had to cross the mountains to the town, or they had to move it away.      the stone weighed at least thirty tons and even the strongest young man couldn’t move it. They      for a long time, but nobody knew what to do.
Richard looked at it carefully for a while and said, “I have a      to move it away.” But      people believed him. Some villagers even laughed at him. The night fell and people went back. Only the boy stayed there. To their surprise, the villagers found the stone was       the next morning. They didn’t know who had moved it away. The old woman said Richard had done it all by himself.
“How could he?” the rich farmer called out, “He’s      fifteen! He couldn’t move it at all!”
“He dug(挖掘) a big hole beside the stone.” said the old woman, “and then he could       push it into the hole!”
Looking at each other, the villagers couldn’t say a word.

A lady and her husband stepped off the train in Boston. They walked without an appointment (预约) into the outer        of Harvard’s president. But they were       by his secretary and kept waiting. For hours, the secretary took no notice of them,        that the couple would finally become       and go away. But they didn’t. The secretary finally decided to disturb the president, though        .
A few minutes later, the president walked towards the couple with a       face. The lady told him, “We had a son that        Harvard for one year. He loved Harvard. He was        here. But about a year ago, he was accidentally killed. My husband and I would like to        a memorial (纪念物) to him, somewhere on campus.”
The president wasn’t        . Instead, he was shocked. “Madam,” he said, “we can’t put up a statue for every person who studied at Harvard and died. If we did, this       would look like a cemetery (墓地).” “Oh, no,” the lady       quickly, “we don’t want to put up a statue. We would like to give a        to Harvard.” The president rolled his eyes and         at the couple and then exclaimed(呼喊), “A building! Do you have any        how much a building costs? We have spent over $ 7,500,000 on the campus building at Harvard.” For a moment the lady was silent. The president was    , because he could get rid of them now. Then the lady turned to her husband and said quietly. “Is that all it costs to start a       ? Why don’t we just start our own?” Her husband nodded. Since their offer was     , Mr and Mrs Stanford traveled to California      they founded the University that bears their       , a memorial to a son that Harvard no longer cared about.

I’d been 16 for six days and was already prepared to deal with failure.
I remember that, when my mum          me that morning, her voice wasn’t as screaming as it usually was. She had been          for more than one hour getting everything ready, and I could feel she was         me at the same time.
I stayed in bed for a few minutes. I was          to leave its warmth and          to face the suffering that I’d rather let myself forget for the past months. Finally, I dragged myself         .
The first thing I thought of after getting up was to         . I went to the kitchen and prepared a breakfast that was fairly         , but was still too big for my appetite that day. I kept telling myself that I          eat. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and this wasn’t a(n)          day. Besides maybe it would          me a little. But I doubted it. I left the kitchen because even the          made me feel sick.
I finished getting ready and tried to settle down. It didn’t         , so I decided that my mum and I should go. We had          time, so I thought we could practise parking. I        , with the wheel hitting the pavement. After that, the little bit of confidence I had was         . I tried two more times, but did not improve much. Then we went towards the driving          site.
I waited twenty minutes---just enough time to make myself believe that I was going to fail. Then, finally, it was my         . I wasn’t sure of myself at all. I just wanted to get it over and make sure that I had to come back next Thursday.
The first thing I had to do was parking, which I did quite well. The         that came with it hit me like a wave. The rest of the test went well and I passed it.
The          of my mum made her face softer. I knew her worry was gone and she was happy for me.

I had a very special teacher in high school many years ago and suddenly her husband died of a heart attack. One day, about a week after her husband’s      , the teacher said, “Before class is over, I would like to share with all of you a (n)        in life that is unrelated to this class, but I feel it is very       .”
“Each of us is put here on        to learn, share, love and appreciate. None of us knows when this fantastic        will end. It can be        at any moment. Perhaps we must make the most out of every single       .” Her eyes beginning to       , she went on, “So I would like you all to make me a(n)       . From now on, on your way, find something beautiful to       . It doesn’t have to be something you see—it could be a sweet smell or it could be the sound of the      leaves. Please look for these things, and cherish (珍视) them.”
The class was completely quiet. We all        our books and got out of the classroom       . That afternoon, I noticed more things on my way home from        than I had that whole term. Every once in a while, I think of that teacher and        what she had said, and I try to appreciate all of those things that        we all ignore.
Take notice of something special you see on your lunch hour today.     on the beach at sunset. Stop off on the way home tonight to        an ice cream. For as we get       , it is not the things we did that we often feel       , but the things we didn’t do.

That morning, I got the train as always. I was a publishing director and was looking forward to embracing a new day of work, as usual. I would always turn to the crossword(纵横填字游戏), but that day it didn't     . I'd been doing it for 30-old years, but trying to read this one was like walking through syrup(糖浆):    slow and hard. I thought I must be tired.
I said to my assistant. The      colleague contacted my wife, Beth, and she drove me straight to hospital. There, confirmation came that I'd had a stroke in the part of my brain that communication. I was now in a condition that means it's difficult or   to receive and produce language. It was the only time I     .
I was back at home a week later, and my goal was to get better and      work in a couple of months. The way to   my language ability was rough. I'd look at simple pictures and try to describe them as my mind      round and round in the darkness, looking for words.
As the months passed, it became      that I wasn't going to be able to go back to my old job. For 25 years, I had      myself as a publisher. I was used to a busy day of meetings. I enjoyed colleagues and the      I'd had. I didn’t feel ready to say goodbye to my old self. There were times when I felt incredibly     .
In the darkest months, I devoted myself to     . I couldn't manage novels or newspapers,   I tried reading poetry, and found the shorter lines less overwhelming(势不可挡的). My speech came back, and I learned how to read again, though much more slowly. I also learned the      to keep up. I allowed myself to slow down, and started to enjoy it.
 ,  I get rid of my old skin. I grieved(感到悲痛) the past, its passing and its absence, and started to     it. Now, 10 years later, I look after my grandson a day a week, and my relationship with my family is deeper than ever. If you'd asked me 15 years ago to      the importance of the things in my life I might have said work, but now I'm no longer a high-achieving publisher or someone who reads 10 books a week. I'm a      man, and if I read 10 books a year, that’s pretty good.
