　　When my daughter Kelsey was a child, she loved to join me in the garden．To 　　1　　 chaos(混乱)in my own planned garden beds, I provided her a space of her own, so Kelsey's Corner was born．There she was 　　2　　 to dig and plant as she wished．Over time, that little patch grew into a favorite place in the 　　3　　．

　　My Fellow Americans,

　　I have recently been told that I am one of the millions of Americans who will be suffered from Alzheimer’s Disease(老年痴呆症)．

　　Upon learning this news, Nancy & I had to decide whether as private(私人的)citizens we would 　　1　　 this a private matter or we would make this news known in a 　　2　　 way．

　　In the past Nancy suffered from breast cancer 　　3　　 I had my cancer surgeries(外科手术)．We found that after we told it to the public, we were able to 　　4　　 public awareness(意识)．We were happy that 　　5　　 many more people went to have a test．They were treated in early stages and able to 　　6　　 to normal, healthy lives．

　　So now, we feel it is 　　7　　 to share it with you．In opening our hearts, we hope this might promote greater 　　8　　 of this condition．Perhaps it will encourage a clearer understanding of the individuals and families who are 　　9　　 by it．

　　At the moment I feel just fine．I’d 　　10　　 to live the remainder of the years God gives me on this earth doing the things I have 　　11　　 done．I will continue to share 　　12　　 journey with my beloved Nancy and my family．I plan to enjoy the great outdoors and stay in touch 　　13　　 my friends and supporters．

　　Unfortunately, as Alzheimer’s Disease 　　14　　, the family often suffers a lot．I only wish there was some way I could spare Nancy from this 　　15　　 experience．When the time comes I am confident that with your help she will 　　16　　 it with faith and courage．

　　At last, let me thank you, the American people for giving me the great honor of 　　17　　 me to serve as your President．When the Lord calls me home, 　　18　　 that may be, I will leave with the greatest love for this country of ours and endless optimism　for its future．

　　I now begin this 　　19　　 that will lead me into the sunset of my life．I know that for America there will always be a bright 　　20　　 ahead．

　　Thank you my friends．May God always bless you．

Sincerely,

Ronald Reagan

　　James was a curious young man．Everywhere he went, he liked to observe things and to 　　1　　 people－what they did, what they said and what they wore．Subconsciously, he was making quick 　　2　　 all the time．He couldn’t really 　　3　　 it; it just happened．

　　For example, he once saw a man whose body was 　　4　　 with tattoos(纹身)．That man was strong and walked proudly．James imagined his 　　5　　 people up, sometimes with sticks and sometimes with his hands, speaking 　　6　　 words each time he opened his mouth．A troublemaker, perhaps, James 　　7　　 to himself．

　　Sometimes James felt 　　8　　 for judging others this way, but that feeling was 　　9　　 and never really lasted．

　　Then, one day, he saw a woman seated alone in a café．The woman was 　　10　　, quite fat, and although she was not 　　11　　, James could tell she was a short lady．　　12　　, James glanced across at her, looking at her from top to bottom．As his eyes reached her 　　13　　, he got a shock．

　　A second later, James’ eyes naturally moved across to the lady’s right foot．And there, he got an even bigger 　　16　　－It was a flat shoe．She was not vain; she had a birth defect(缺陷)－uneven length of her legs．If anything, she deserved 　　17　　 and understanding, certainly not blame, not even mental ones．

　　James was 　　18　　 with guilt．It was a(n)　　19　　 lesson he learned about not 　　20　　 conclusions, about not judging people, especially so quickly．
