It was the summer of my freshman year of college. Instead of heading home for a nice long 1 , my friends and I had decided to 2 and take some extra courses. We had 3 the top floor of an old house to live in. My bed was 4 into a stuffy (愁闷的)former laundry room and each night was a new 5 in humidity. Still, it felt 6 to be in my own place for the first time. After the first few weeks, 7 , the thrill faded and 8 set in. I found myself sitting alone each night 9 my home and my parents.
My summer holidays had always been a 10 time. I spent hours playing basketball and swimming. I talked to my Mom while she tended her flowers. I 11 helping my Dad drag firewood for the winter. And every night I sat at a dinner table full of delicious food 12 with love while my family filled the room with the sound of sweet 13 . Now I found myself missing them 14 than ever.
Finally when my 15 were at their lowest, I heard a 16 at the door. I opened it and was 17 to see my parents standing there with big smiles to fill my 18 heart and a box full of food to feed my hungry friends. We spent the afternoon eating 19 , and just being together. It felt so good, and I felt so loved.
Victor Hugo wrote that, “The supreme happiness of life is the 20 that one is loved; loved for oneself, or better yet, loved despite oneself.” It was that gift of happiness that my parents gave me that afternoon and every day of my life.

My friend Tom came across an accident when driving in darkness. His legs were so hurt that he couldn’t move. What was was that he found himself unable to ask for help—his mobile phone went out of as a result of exhausted battery. Nothing could be done but in the cold wilderness. It was 8 hours later that day broke and then the of the rescue team.
It is almost that he could stand the horror in the darkness for so long. Even more surprising was his . “First of all I checked my conditions and found myself not in danger. As there was no to call for help, I leaned(斜靠)back in my seat trying my best to keep the wound from . In this way I dozed(打盹)off.”
His story put an end to my regret for the of an exploration that happened last year. A group of young men to explore a mountain cave and got lost. to find a way out in the dark cave they were frightened and ran anxiously without a sense of . Finally, they fell dead in fear and exhaustion. According to the team that found them, the place where they got lost was only about 10 meters away from the of the cave.

In 1972, I returned to Miami Beach High School to speak to the drama class. Afterward I asked the drama teacher any of my English teachers are still there. Irene Roberts, he tells me, is in the class down the hall.
I was no one special in Miss Roberts’ class — just another student who did okay work. I don’t recall any one special bit of wisdom she passed on. Yet I cannot forget her for language, for ideas and for her students. I now, many years later, that she is the perfect example of a teacher. I’d like to say something to her, I say, but I don’t want to her from a class. Nonsense, he says, she’ll be to see you.
The drama teacher Miss Roberts into the hallway where stands this 32-year-old man she last saw at 18. “I’m Mark Medoff,” I tell her. “You were my 12th-grade English teacher in 1958.” She her head to one side and looks at me, as if this angle might remember me in her . And then, though armed with a message I want to in many words, I can’t think up anything more memorable than this: “I want you to know,” I say, “you were to me.”
And there in the hallway, this lovely woman, now nearing age, this teacher who doesn’t remember me, begins to weep; and she encircles me in her arms.
this moment, I begin to sense that everything I will ever know, everything I will ever pass to my students, is an inseparable part of a legacy(遗产) of our ancestors.
Irene Roberts holds me in her arms and through her tears whispers my cheek, “Thank you.” And then, with the briefest of looks into my forgotten face, she back into her classroom, to what she has done thousands of days through all the years of my .
On reflection, maybe those were, , just the right words to say to Irene Roberts. Maybe they are the very words I would like to speak to all those teachers through my life, the very words I would like spoken to me one day by some returning student: “I want you to know you were important to me.”

We know that Gary suffers from a , which makes it almost impossible for him to his movements. As a result, he will his life in a wheelchair. He cannot write with a pen or a pencil, and speaks so slowly and strangely that it takes to understand what he is saying.
However, behind his appearance, Gary is a warm, fun-loving, intelligent person. His disability affects his muscles, not his mind or . He enjoys the same things as any student does—listening to music, making and so on—and he is not only the best student in our class, but also has a sense of humor and genuine interest in other people.
The main why I admire him so much is that he is determined to lead a life, in spite of his physical difficulties he has to overcome. Although his prevents him from going to school, he gives himself an education by studying at home. Being unable to himself, he uses a special typewriter to write letters to his friends and beautiful poems which the true depth of his thoughts and character. Another reason why I admire Gary is that he never feels sorry for himself. He says, for instance, that being unable to move around gives him more time to think. In fact, he always to see the bright side of any situation, so instead of needing his friends to him, he actually cheers us up when we are or depressed.
I would admire Gary he didn’t have any disability; in fact he does, and to let it spoil his life, which makes him the most remarkable person I have known.

Now you’re a fool for helping. “I don’t want to get involved” seems to have become a national motto. One summer I was driving from my hometown of Tahoe City, California to New Orleans, Louisiana. In the middle of the desert, I passed a young man standing by the roadside. He had his out and held a gas can in his other hand. I drove right by him. There was a time you’d be called a jerk (混蛋) for passing by somebody .
Several days later I was still about the hitchhiker (搭便车的人), about how I didn’t even lift my foot the accelerator (加速踏板) for him. “Does anyone stop any more?” I wondered. I recalled Blanche DuBois’s famous line—”I have always depended on the kindness of strangers.” Was that these days? One way to test this would be for a person to journey the US without any money, just on the good will of others. What would happen? Would he find food, shelter and support?
The idea intrigued (激起兴趣) me.
The week I 37, I realized that I had never done something truly crazy. I decided to really do it: travel from the Pacific to the Atlantic without a penny. I would only accept of rides, food and places to sleep. For six weeks I hitched 82 rides and covered 4,223 miles across 14 states. I was treated kindly I went. I was by people’s readiness to help a stranger.
In Oregon, a house painter named Mike the cold weather and asked if I had a coat. I didn’t, so he gave me a big green army-style jacket. A lumber-mill worker in Michigan named Tim invited me to a dinner with his family in their shabby house. Then he offered me a tent. I refused, but Tim insisted, packing it into my bag himself. I found people were generally compassionate. Hearing I had no money and would take none, people bought me food or with them whatever they happened to have. Those who had the to give often gave the most.
I’m to all the people I met for their rides, their food, their shelter and their gifts. My faith in ordinary folks was . I was proud to live in a country where people were still willing to help. In spite of everything, you can still depend on the of strangers.
