We’ll all have a heart that is already accurately showing us how true things are.
Carmen’s mother Maria had just   1  a serious heart attack. But without a heart transplant（移植）her life was in constant   2 .
Both the mother and daughter knew that the chances were very   3 : finding a donor heart that matched Maria’s blood type could take years. However, Carmen was determined to save her mother. She kept   4  hospitals all over the country.
Days stretched out. By Christmas, Maria had trouble walking from one end of the room to the other. Carmen lost all hope. She fell into a corner of the hospital,   __5 .
“Are you okay?” a man asked.
Carmen sobbed（哭泣）as she told the stranger her   6 . This middle-aged man was named Frank, whose wife, Cheryl, a tender and devoted mother of four lovely children, had been in hospital with a brain disease and wouldn’t   7  it through the night.   8 , an idea came to Frank’s mind. He knew Cheryl had always wanted to donate（捐献）something from herself.
After reviewing the data, doctors   9  Frank that his wife’s heart was by some miracle a perfect fit for Carmen’s mother. They were able to   10  the transplant.
That cold night, when Cheryl was   11  dead, Frank came to knock at Maria’s door. She was   12  for Frank’s family as she had been doing every day recently. Though Maria had never met Frank before, they both felt a strange bond as they hugged and cried.
On New Year’s Eve, Carmen   13  Cheryl’s funeral（葬礼）with Frank’s family, who were singing their favorite song “My heart will go on.”
One day later, on New Year’s Day, Maria   14  with Cheryl’s heart. Yes, Cheryl’s loving heart would go on, for it was   15  in another loving mother’s chest.

I walked into the grocery store not particularly interested in buying something. The sorrow of   36  my husband of 37 years was still too painful. And this grocery store held so many sweet   37 . Bob often came with me and almost every time he'd   38  to go off and look for something special. I'd always see him walking down the walkway   39  the three yellow roses in his hands. Bob knew I loved yellow roses. With a heart   40  with pain, I came to the meat shelf, I searched for the   41  small steak and remembered how Bob had loved his steak.
Suddenly a woman came beside me. She was in a soft green dress. I   42  as she picked up a large pack of T-bones,   43  them in her basket, hesitated, and then put them back. She saw me watching her and she smiled. "My husband loves T-bones, but   44 , at these prices, I don't know."
"My husband passed away eight days ago," I told her. "Buy him the steaks. And value every   45  you have together."
She smiled and I saw the feeling in her   46  as she placed the package in her basket and   47  away. I turned and pushed my cart forward too. Several minutes later I saw first the green suit and then   48  the pretty lady coming to me. In her arms she carried something. On her face was the   49  smile I had ever seen.
As she came closer, I saw what she held and   50  welled down. "These are for you, " she said and placed three beautiful yellow roses in my arms. She placed a gentle kiss on my cheek, then smiled again. I wanted to tell her what the roses   51 , but still unable to speak. I watched as she walked away as tears clouded my   52 . I looked down at the beautiful roses and found it almost   53 . How did she know?
Suddenly the   54  seemed so clear. I wasn't alone. "Oh, Bob, you haven't   55  me, have you?" I whispered, with tears in my eyes. He was still with me, and she was his angel.

In the first week after arriving in the new city for further study, I fell and broke my leg. I was really   36  by the kindness of my new roommate. “We are family now,” she said when she   37  me lying in my room with a swollen(浮肿的)  38 , unable to move. She took me to the nearest  39 by taxi to get my leg examined. The driver was so   40  that we arrived there very quickly. After that, my   41  didn’t stop helping me though I told her I could do things on my own.
So many blessings(幸事) I had never   42  came to me when I was alone and helpless. Bus drivers picked me up  43  anywhere they saw me. Many people   44  the door for me. Such things were small but   45  for a person on walking sticks.
  46 people’s kindness, I did whatever I could to make people   47  . I made many jokes about my two   48 and the bad fall. And I tried not to   49  even a single time about what had happened. I also tried to be kind to   50  students who were injured. I took time to   51  with a girl in a wheelchair who always ate lunch alone.
I soon realized that pain can be   52  by mental (精神上的) power. I could see that   53  I was using physical sticks, there were hundreds of mental sticks I could depend on. I also saw that sometimes   54  situations could be good. Einstein once said, “You can live your life seeing nothing as a miracle( 奇迹 )   55  seeing everything as a miracle.”

At least thirty times Bobby has attempted to climb the big snowy mountain, but he had never reached the top. His friend old Peeper, who knew a lot about his failures,  26  Bobby to try again. He gave Bobby a pair of  27  and said, “If it starts clouding over, put on the glassed, or if your feet start hurting, put them on too. The glasses are very  28  . They’ll help you.” Bobby accepted the gift without much thought.
The day came when he was to have another try. About two hours after he started, he felt his feet hurting. Then he  29 what Peeper had said, and put on the glasses. The pain was pretty bad, but  30 the sunglasses he could see the snow-covered mountain top, so he went on.
31  , clouds were gathering. But this time Bobby could still see the  32  through the clouds. He kept climbing, leaving the clouds behind, forgetting his pain, and finally arriving at the top. It was certainly worth it. His feeling of  33  was extremely good, almost as great as that  34  view. The mountain below was surrounded by a sea of clouds. He couldn’t that the clouds were as  35  as that, so he looked more closely at the sunglasses, and discovered the secret. Peeper had engraved (镌刻) the snow-covered mountain top on the sunglasses,  36  Bobby could see it when he was looking upwards!
Bobby  37  that the only obstacle (障碍) to reaching the top had been losing  38  when he couldn’t see the mountain top. He was thankful that Peeper had used that little  39  to help him see that his  40  was never impossible, and that it was still there, where it had always been.

My l4-year-old son, John, and I spotted the coat which was hanging at a secondhand clothing store in Northampton Mass. While the other coats drooped, this one looked as if it were   36  itself up. The coat had beautiful tailoring, a Fifth Avenue label and a(an)  37  price of $28, which was popular just then with   38  , but could cost several hundred dollars new. This coat was even better, bearing that   39  of classic elegance. John tried it on and the fit was perfect.
John   40  the coat to school the next day and came home wearing a big smile "Did the kids like your coat?" I asked. "They loved it," he said,   41  folding it over the back of a chair and smoothing it flat. Over the next few weeks, a   42  came over John. Agreement replaced contrariness and reasoned discussion replaced fierce   43 . He became more mannerly and   44 , eager to please. He would generously loan his younger brother his tapes and lecture him   45  his behavior.
When I mentioned this incident to his teacher and   46  what caused the changes, she said laughing. "It   47  be his coat!" Another teacher told him she was giving him a good   48  not only because he had earned   49  but because she liked his coat. At the library, we ran into a friend “Could this be John?" he asked surprisingly,   50  John's new height, assessing the cut of his coat and extending his hand, one gentleman to another.
John and I both know we should never   51  a person's clothes for the real person within them.   52  there is something to be said for wearing a standard of excellence for the world to see and for   53  what is on the inside to what is on the outside.
For John it is a time when it is as easy to try on different approaches to   54  as it is to try on a coat. The whole world, the whole future is stretched out ahead, a vast landscape   55  all the doors are open. And he could picture himself walking through those doors wearing his wonderful, magical coat.

He lost his arms in an accident that claimed his father's life—who was the main  21  of support for the family. He had to  22  the arms of his younger brother. For the sake of taking care of him, his younger brother became his  23 ,never leaving him alone for years. Except for writing with his toes, he was completely unable to do  24   in his life.
One late night, his younger brother accompanied him into the toilet and then went back to the dorm to  25 . But being so 26 , his younger brother fell asleep, leaving him on the toilet for two hours. As the two brothers grew up together, they had their share of problems and they would often  27 . Then one day, his younger brother wanted to live 28  from him, living his own life, as many normal people do. So he was  29 and didn't know what to do.
A  30  misfortune befell a girl, too. One night her mother, who suffered from mental illness，31 . So her father went out looking for her mother, leaving her alone at home. She tried to prepare a  32  for her parents, only to overturn the stove,  33  in a fire which took her hands away.
Though her elder sister who was studying in another city, showed her  34  to take care of her, she was determined to be completely 35 . At school, she always studied hard.
One day, the boy and the girl were both invited to appear on a television interview program. They both were asked to write something on a piece of paper with their toes. The boy wrote: My younger brother's arms are my arms；36   the girl wrote: Broken wings, flying heart.
Disasters can 37  at any time. How you handlemisfortune when confronted with it is the true test of your character. If you choose only to complain and  38  from the ordeal(磨难), it will always follow you wherever you go. But if you decide to be 39 , the hardship will turn out to be a(n)  40    on which new hopes will arise.

It’s only after three weeks into a new job that I made a serious mistake. My boss called it “extremely embarrassing” in a company-wide e-mail — which,    11  , he wrote because he felt he needed to explain that what I did was something    12   in the company should ever do. I wish I    13   give a good excuse for what I did. At the very least, I wish I could explain it somehow —    14   it on youth, inexperience or ignorance. Unfortunately, I’m    15  , experienced and I know better.
   16   I work with some very kind and compassionate (富于同情心的) people. For the past couple of days many of them have taken time to    17   by my desk and offer comfort, encouragement and support. Some have shared with me similar    18   they have made. Evidently I’m not the only “   19  ” person here.
One of the exchanges I had this week was with Lois, the much-honored, much-respected professional who    20   the desk right next to mine. Lois was completely    21   about her work, and to be honest I was a little nervous about how she would    22   to such an extremely embarrassing incident.
As I expected, Lois didn’t pass over the    23   when she saw me the next day. She mentioned it directly,    24   with empathetic consideration. She listened to my    25  . Just as I was ready to express my regrets, she brought my self-pity partly to a(n)    26  .
“It happened”, she said, “There’s nothing you can do to    27   that. It happened. But it’s over now. It’s    28  . It’s in the past. You need to let it go, and move on.” And with that she returned her    29   to her work, as if to say, “We’re done here.”
I beat myself up for weeks. At such times I need to remember those    30   words: It’s over. It’s done. Let it go. And mostly, move on.

Last year, I lost my best friend in high school. It seemed that everyone else’s life could just continue on in its  36  way, but mine couldn't. I wasn't sure how I was going to be able to face  37  and their gossip at school. I was forced to  38  my routine on Monday morning as usual. In the evening I returned home from school  39  completely defeated. All I wanted to do was  40  into bed and wallow(沉迷于)in my own self-pity. I pulled back the covers on my bed and  41  a pile of cards left by my dad. Each card included a(n)  42  that it was to be opened on a  43  night that week.
I made it through that week  44  my father. Each card  45  to say just what I needed to hear. Tuesday’s card said, “The past is painful to think about and the  46  is impossible to imagine. Don't try. Just take it one minute at a time.” On Wednesday my mood  47  when I read, “What you are feeling now is  48  and normal. It still feels very bad, but it is part of the healing  49 .” Friday’s card contained a poem he wrote. The last lines made me smile through my tears. “Whatever special  50  you face along life’s way, may you  51  that you will find the best in every day.” I was instructed to open the last card  52  the party I went to on Saturday night. In it he wisely reminded me to  53 . “The world isn't so bad after a good laugh. The more you laugh, the more you heal.” Each card was signed, “Love, Dad.”
My world once collapsed (fell down) but I  54  the difficult breakup eventually. It owed to my dad, who made his  55  known when he couldn't be present.

In 1982, Steven Callahan was crossing the Atlantic alone in his sailboat when it struck something and sank. He was out of the sailing track and floating in a lifeboat, alone. His supplies were  36 . His chances of surviving were small.  37 when three fishermen found him seventy-six days later, he was alive — much  38 than he was when he started, but alive.
His  39 of how he survived is interesting and attractive. His subtle act — how he  40 to catch fish, how he evaporated sea water to 41 fresh water — is very interesting. But the thing that  42 my eye was how he managed to keep himself going when all hope seemed lost, when it seemed no  43  continuing the struggle, when he was  44  greatly, when his lifeboat was pierced and after more than a week’s struggling with his weak body. He was starved and  45  exhausted. Giving up would have seemed the only sensible choice.
When people  46 these kinds of circumstances, they do something with their minds that gives them the courage to keep going. Many people in  47 dangerous circumstances give in or go mad. Something the survivors do with their thoughts helps them find the courage to carry on  48 major difficulties.
"I tell myself I can  49 it," wrote Callahan in his book. "Compared to what others have been through, I'm fortunate. I tell myself these things over and over,  50  courage and strength."
I wrote that down after I read it  51 it struck me as something important. And I've told myself the same thing when my own goals seemed 52 off or when my problems seemed too powerful. And every time I've said it, I have always come back to my senses.
The truth is, our circumstances are only bad  53 to something better. But others have been through much worse, that is, in comparison with what  54 have been through, you're fortunate. Tell this to yourself over and over again, and it will help you  55 the rough spots with a little more perseverance(毅力) .

When we talk about a wolf, we tend to describe it as a kind of fierce creature. But is it true that the wolf stands for devil(魔鬼) and ugliness?
