      Quite   39   one day, I came across a real tramp. He was such a rare sight these days that I stood some distance away and watched him. He was dressed just as a tramp should be   40  , old worn trousers, and a jacket many sizes too big for him. On his head there was a battered old hat and his boots were so old and worn; they were almost coming into   41  . But the man himself looked cheerful as if he had not a   42   in the world. He rubbed his nose with his forefinger,   43   a funny turn, laid a small parcel by the front gate, and began   44   a sign made by a former caller. Although the sign was meaningless to me, it must have been   45 , for the tramp’s face lit up with   46 . He entered the front gate confidently and rang the bell. When the door opened, I saw him   47   his hat but couldn’t hear his words. The   48  was very short indeed, for no sooner had he spoken a few words than the door closed fiercely in his face. I felt   49   for him as he walked   50  out of the house, But just as quickly, his face lit up again and he moved quickly towards the gate. There he stopped, looked at the sign, and   51  his head seriously as if he had made a bad mistake.   52  deeply into his pockets, he produced a piece of chalk, rubbed out the   53  sign and made a new one in its place. He stared at it for a moment smiling to himself, then gathered his   54  , pushed back his hat and began walking towards the next house at an unhurried   55  , whistling as he went along.

You know it’s truly amazing how the Jewish people survived after thousands of years of being slaves, persecuted(追捕), and even attempted genocide (种族灭绝)when Hitler’s Nazi murdered 6 million Jews! That’s why in 1934, Germany was the    36    place to be a Jew. When Hitler’s teenage gangs    37    his village, the little    38    boy, Heinz, was just 11 years old.

    Every day Heinz’s parents taught their    39    how important it was to learn    40   . When the Nazi gangs terrorized their village on the streets daily, Heinz’s parents knew that just one moment of losing control of their    41    against their rulers could    42    the death of the family. So Heinz learned to stay out of their    43   , sometimes crossing the street or taking a    44    road home.

     But one day, young Heinz was finally    45    by one of Hitler’s bullies(暴徒). For the first time, Heinz was    46    to talk to a Nazi youth. But by staying calm and    47    choosing his words, Heinz surprised himself when he    48    his way out of trouble and    49    this bully not to hurt him    50    to let him go. That day, Heinz discovered his survival skill of talking and    51    with others. It was a major    52    point that changed his life---and later changed the world.

      After a few years, Heinz’s family escaped from Germany and moved to America. But Heinz never forgot how to talk with people and help bring    53    between enemies. You see, that 11-year-old boy who had    54    his first peace settlement with a Nazi bully, later became one of the greatest ambassadors of peace in the world. You’ve probably heard of him- not as Heinz- but by his American name: Henry Kissinger, the    55    US Secretary of State.
