My husband is an engineer. Since we met，he has always been the rock in my life.I knew he had his feet　 __36__　 planted on the ground，and it seemed that no matter what else went　 __37__，he would be the constant one.

Three years of romance and two years of marriage later, I began to feel　 __38__　 of him because he never brought me flowers，he never　 __39__ me，and nothing had changed in our marriage.

After　 __40__， I finally told him I wanted to be　 __41__. He just sat there, speechless and didn't even know __42__　 to say to make me stay. Finally，he spoke, “What can I do to change your __43__？”

“I'll stay if you have a good answer　 __44__　 this question，”I replied coldly. “If I asked for a　 __45__ growing on a cliff, and getting it for me　 __46__　 certain death，would you still do so？”

His face grew troubled. “Can I give you the answer tomorrow morning？” With that, my heart　 __47__. He couldn't even give me an answer　 __48__　 away.

The next morning，I found he was　 __49__. However，I found a note under a warm glass of milk. My eyes　　 __50__　 misty(湿润)as I was reading it.

“Dear，I'll give you my　 __51__.

After you do typing for a long time, I need my　　 __52__　 to do it for you.

Every time you leave the house，you forget your keys. I need my legs to run　 __53__　 and open the door for you.... that's why I cannot pick the flower for you...”

With tears　 __54__　 from my eyes, I opened the door. And there he was, with an extremely worried look on his face, waving the packet he had in his hand in front of me.

Just because someone doesn't love you　 __55__　 you want him to, it doesn't mean that he doesn't love you heart and soul.

Once many years ago, I pulled a family out of a burning car somewhere in Wyoming. Last week I 　36 a telephone call from a woman who could not stop 　37 as she told me that one of the stories in my book had saved her son from committing suicide.(自杀) In closing she called me a 38 .

That 　39　 me thinking about what a hero really is. Was I a hero 　40 I pulled a family from a burning car? If so, how could I be a hero just because I 　41　 a story that saved someone’s life?

Today I decided to look up the word “hero” in the dictionary to see 　42 what it meant. It　 43 “a person who does something brave”. As I read on, it also said “ a person who is good and noble”.

That statement 44 me more than the part about being 　45 . So I thought about something very important. Say I was walking into the local Wal-Mart Store and I 　46 to open and hold the door for someone as a courtesy (礼貌) . As they passed me by, I said, “How are you today?” Most of the time that would be no big deal, 　47 this time let’s say it was for someone who was deeply 　48 and near the end of the rope.

I was in such a condition after my marriage of twenty years ended. I was within hours trying to get up enough 　49 to end the pain and misery. When I returned home, someone had 　50 me a card in the mail which told me how 　51 they would appreciate me as a friend. That wonderful card probably saved my life. That person, without even knowing it, saved a life and became a hero.

Similarly many children come out of the orphanages (孤儿院) 52 a very hard and bitter attitude against the world, but the gifts we send them let them know that they have not been forgotten.　 53 , most of them will never hurt anyone because of the 　54 shown to them by those of us who cared. If it 55 , we will also become “heroes”.
