When I was a young child, my parents often told me that it was time that taught a man everything. I didn’t understand and wondered why _31_ had such a big influence _32_ a person. I thought I could grow up quickly to find it out as an adult. But now, _33_ I come to knock at the door of adulthood, I feel _34_ to express my own opinion on this saying. I know that I am just a high school student with very few experiences. There are still many things waiting for me in the future, yet I would like to express myself in a childish voice.
I once read this sentence, “To make this world a happy place in which to live, you had better _35_ yourself and your heart, instead of the whole world.” I was shocked. It made me think about _36_ itself. There are so many things around us that _37_ our will. We can’t force life to follow our wishes. The earth won’t stop turning no matter whether we _38_ it or not . What we can do is just to make  _39_ suit the world. I think we should learn to accept _40_ life gives us, no matter whether it’s the spring sunlight or the winter snowfall, and try to be happy.
The pop song Grandmother by Jay Chou is my favorite. I’m deeply moved by this beautiful song. I always try to _41_ every pleasant thing in my life, but now I see that I don’t catch most of the pleasant moments. It is more likely that they slip by(流逝)and leave you _42_ regretful. I realize that I’m not just living for myself and that there are others I should _43_ such as my parents, friends, and so on. They all pay attention to my growing up, _44_ it’s just a little progress.
Everyone has his or her own _45_ towards life, positive or negative. It doesn’t  matter, I think. There is one rule that should be obeyed and that’s to make this world better.

So when Sam was born, I  44  to tell him about school and friendship, Romance and work, Love and everything else. That’s how I started to write these  45  . I hoped that Sam would  46  them sooner or later.

However, that expectation  47  when Sam showed signs of autism(自闭症)at the age of two. He had actually stopped talking before the discovery of the signs. He  48  to communicate with others, even the family members. That was  49   for me but didn’t stop me writing on. I realized that I had even  50  now to tell him. I wanted him to  51  what it means to be “different” from others, and learn how to fight against the misfortune he’ll  52   as I myself, his grandfather, did. I just  53   if I could write all that I wanted to say in the rest of my life.

There are trips out and birthday parties, too.

The residents are happy because they feel   49   and needed. They are more active and more interested in life when the children are around and they take more interest in their appearance, too. And the staff(全体职员) are happy because they see an improvement in the   50   and psychological health of the residents and have an army of assistants to help with the children.
