I was sleeping for over a week after a traffic accident. The only sounds that could be heard were coming from the machines that were  36   me alive.
All my family members were   37   ways to wake me up from my silence.
Greg, my brother – in – law,  38   to take some of my songs I had recently recorded to a local radio station,   39   he explained about my illness. He told them he was  40 I could hear what was going on around me and that he knew having my own songs   41   on the radio had been a huge dream of mine. This would definitely  42   me and do more than any medicine or machine could.
The radio station agreed to help and gave him a specific date and time   43  he could have a radio “  44  ” at my hospital bed. Greg’s decision had filled everyone with 45   and now the moment arrived. Nervous from expectation, all my family members  46   hands and watched over me hoping for a   47  .
The DJ made a pre – song announcement about my   48   to the general audience, and then spoke directly to me.
“Shelly, this is for you. I want you to really listen now. This is not just   49   song we’re playing, but your family’s song of hope. All of us at KKDJ wish you a speedy   50  .”

Everyone in the room held their breath and watched16 as the music began. Later they all witnessed the tears17 down my pale cheeks. Though still not awake, it was obvious I heard my song.Just a few days later, hope turned into18 . I did in fact awake. Though not19 unscathed (未受伤的), I did not suffer from the disabilities that had been predicted.
Hope is the part of us that makes us pick up the pieces and try again.20 hope where would we be?

Miss Gogers taught physics in a New York school. Last month she explained to one of her classes about sound, and she decided to test them to see how successful she had been in her explanation. She said to them, “Now I have a brother in Los Angeles. If I was calling him on the phone and at the same time you were 75 feet away, listening to me from across the street, which of you would hear what I said earlier, my brother or you and for what reason?”
Tom at once answered, “Your brother. Because electricity travels faster than sound waves.” “That’s every good,” Miss Gogers answered; but then one of the girls raised her hand, and Miss Gogers said. “Yes, Kate.”
“I disagree,” Kate said. “Your brother would hear you earlier because when it’s 11 o’clock here it’s only 8 o’clock in Los Angeles.”
