Dear Laura,
I just heard you tell an old story of gift giving and unselfish(无私的) love in your program. You doubted that such unselfish love would happen in today’s world. Well, I’m here to give you 21 .
I wanted to do something very 22 for my fifteen-year-old son, who has always been the perfect child. He 23 all summer to earn enough money to buy a used motorcycle. Then, he spent hours and hours on it 24 it looked almost new. I was so 25 of him that I bought him the shiniest helmet(头盔) and riding outfit(全套装备).
I could 26 wait for him to open up his gift. In fact, I barely slept the night before. Upon wakening, I went to the kitchen to 27 the coffee, tea, and morning goodies. In the living room was a beautiful keyboard with a 28 : “To my wonderful mother, all my love, your son.”
I was so 29 . It had been a long-standing joke in our family that I wanted a piano so that I could 30 lessons. “Learn to play the piano, and I’ll get you one” was my husband’s 31 .
I stood there shocked, crying a river, asking myself how my son could 32 this expensive gift.
Of course, the 33 awoke, and my son was thrilled with(对…感到激动) my reaction. Many kisses were 34 , and I immediately wanted him to 35 my gift.
As he saw the helmet and outfit, the look on his face was not 36 what I was expecting. Then I 37 that he had sold the motorcycle to get me the keyboard.
Of course I was the proudest mother 38 on that day, and my feet never hit the ground for a month.
So I wanted you to know, that kind of love still 39 and lives even in the ever-changing world of me, me, me!
I thought you’d love to 40 this story.
Yours,
Hilary
P.S. The next day, my husband and I bought him a new “used” already shiny motorcycle.

Barditch High School decided to hold an All-School Reunion.Over 450 people came to the event.There were tours of the old school building and a picnic at Confederate Park.Several former teachers were on hands to tell stories about the old days.Ms.Mabel Yates, the English teacher for fifty years, was wheeled to the Park.
Some eyes rolled and there were a few low groans(嘟囔声)when Ms.Yates was about to speak.Many started looking at their watches and coming up with excuses to be anywhere instead of preparing to listen to a lecture from an old woman who had few kind words for her students and made them work harder than all the other teachers combined.
Then Ms.Yates started to speak:
“I can’t tell you how pleased I am to be here.I haven’t seen many of you since your graduation, but I have followed your careers and enjoyed your victories as well as crying for your tragedies.I have a large collection of newspaper photographs of my students.Although I haven’t appeared in person, I have attended your college graduations, weddings and even the birth of your children, in my imagination.”
Ms.Yates paused and started crying a bit.Then she continued:
“It was my belief that if I pushed you as hard as I could, some of you would succeed to please me and others would succeed to annoy me.Regardless of our motives, I can see that you have all been successful in you chosen path.”
“There is no greater comfort for an educator than to see the end result of his or her years of work.You have all been a great source of pleasure and pride for me and I want you to know I love you all from the bottom of my heart.”
There was a silence over the crowd for a few seconds and then someone started clapping.The clapping turned into cheering, then into a deafening roar(呼喊).Lawyers, truck drivers, bankers and models were rubbing their eyes or crying openly with no shame all because of the words from a long forgotten English teacher from their hometown.
