For almost 18 years, my mom has given time from her life to devote her care to my growth. She has ashed  36  clothes. She’s planned doctors’ appointments  37  all parts of the body, cut hair, taken icures, bought presents,  38 vacations and basically kept a small boy’s life  39  smoothly.
When I was 12, I got into  40  arguments with my older and wiser parents. The   41 never led a any achievement for me, but I still took part. Many times strong feeling of anger caused tears  42  to in my eyes by the end of the quarrel with them.   43 , I’d return to my room and stay for as long as my parents allowed. Then I’d  44  a knock and hardly manage a weak, “Come in.” My mom, acting as a peacemaker,   45  slowly enter and sit next to me on the bed. I’d again try to  46  what I had said was true,  47  this time less angrily. Then mom calmly, strictly and lovingly showed to me her voice of   48  . After that she’d hug me and I’d stop crying; all would be  49  in my family again.
Hugs will  50  be her trademark（标志）: warm hugs for goodnights, good-byes and a thousand other such situations. “You’re never too old to  51  your mother.” I’ve heard those eight words since I came to the world. They ring true. For some reason, those words possess the unbelievable  52  to reduce anxiety, cool an angry head,   53  fears and put wrong things right.
Perhaps my mother, now worthy of the title “Mom” can  be an example to mothers everywhere. Being a mother is not so  54  . Any female has the ability to become one. The challenge isn’t in becoming a “mother”, but instead , a “mom”. Mine does that quite  55 .

There are great doctors and perhaps it is enough to say that Dr Charles Mayo was one．  36 ，it is not enough for me．
Charles Mayo was not a  37  of mine in the sense that he would  38  by for dinner or remember my daughter’s graduation．We were not that  39 ，for he lived in Minnesota and I lived in California．He was a friend in the sense that he  40  more like a friend than a doctor when he was being a doctor．
I got very close to him just once．More  41 ，he got very close to me．I was flying my own plane to Washington and I felt a serious  42  in my back．It turned around，  43 for a clinic nearby and got in  44  with Dr Jan，my doctor．Jan at once said I had appendicitis (阑尾炎) and I told him he was the  45  doctor I had ever met．“I have no fever and any other symptoms of it．How can I  46 have appendicitis?”
“If you want to  47  better as quickly as possible，we’ll have Charles Mayo look at you．”It took Charles Mayo about thirty seconds to  48  to Jan’s request．
Charles was washing his hands when I was  49 into the operation room．I said，my
50  shaking，“You have done this before，haven’t you?”
“Of course，”he said．“Twice．”
Among all his interests he was craziest about being a doctor．He faced  51  often enough to know that while it is final in a sense，it is not  52  final at all．He enjoyed  53 too much not to know that it has a meaning beyond here and now．
54  he died on July 29，1968，at the age of seventy，following an accident，he lived on in the  55 of his books．I am glad he wrote them，giving people the feeling that we still have him．

The students’ answers 23 from 20g to 500g.
“It does not matter on the absolute 24 . It depends on how 25 you hold it. If I hold it for a minute, it is OK. If I hold it for a(n) 26 , I will have an ache in my right arm. If I hold it for a day, you will have to 27  an ambulance. It is exactly the 28 weight, but the longer I hold it, the 29 it becomes.” The whole audience became silent, lost in thought.
After a moment, the lecturer continued, “ 30 we carry our burden all the time, 31 , we will not be able to carry on with the burden becoming increasingly heavier, 32 heavy for us to bear.
“What you have to do is to 33 the glass, rest for a while 34 holding it up again.”
