Twenty years ago，I drove a taxi for a living．I met  2l  people．But none touched me  22  than a woman I picked up late one night．
I received a call from  23 in a quiet part of town．When I arrived at 2：30 a．m．,the building was  24  except for a single light in a ground floor window．I  walked to the door and  25 ．“Just a minute，”answered a  26 ，elderly voice．After a long pause，the door opened．A small woman  27  her 80s stood before me．Beside her was a small suitcase．I took it to the taxi．and then returned to  28 the woman．She took my arm and we walked  29  toward the roadside．
Seated，she gave me  30 ．“I’m on my way to a hospice(临终关怀医院)．I'm in no hurry．Can you drive through downtown?” I saw her eyes shining with  31 in the rearview mirror．“I don’t have any  32  left．”she continued．“The doctor says I don’t have very long．”
During the next two hours’ 33 , sometimes she asked me to  34 in front of a particular building or corner and she  35 stare into the darkness．When we got to the destination，she asked，“How much do I   36 you?” “Nothing，”I said．“You            37 make a living．”she answered．“I have  38  passengers，”I replied，and gave her a hug． She held onto me  39 ．“You gave an old woman a little moment of joy,” she said．“Thank you.”
After that，I drove aimlessly，lost in thought．People usually believe that our lives center upon great moments．  40 great moments often catch us unaware，beautifully wrapped in what others may consider a small one．

Living an Adventurous Life
Nearly ten years ago, I was told that I had a brain tumor (瘤), and this experience changed my attitude about adventure forever. I thought that I was going to die and that all my adventures were over. I did not have a brain tumor, it turned out, but rather multiple sclerosis (多发性硬化症), which meant that, although they were not over,the nature of my adventures could have to change.
Each morning that I wake up is a fresh event, something that I might not have
had. Each gesture that I make carries the weight of uncertainty and demands significant attention: buttoning my shirt, changing a light bulb, walking down stairs. I might not be able to do it this time. If I could not delight in them, they would likely drown me in anger and in self-pity.
I admire the grand adventures of others. I read about them with interest. With Peter Matthiessen I have hiked across the Himalayas to the Crystal Mountain. I have walked with Annie Dillard up, down, into, and across Tinker Creek in all Seasons. David Bain has gone with me along 110 miles of Philippine coast, and Ed Abbey has
rowed me down the Colorado River, I enjoy the adventures of these courageous figures, who can strike out on difficult trips - 2 miles, 250 miles, 3000 miles - ready to bear cold and tiredness - indeed not just to bear but to celebrate.
But as for me, I can no longer walk very far from the armchair in which I read. Some days I don't even make it to the backyard. And yet I'm unwilling to give up the adventurous life, the difficulty of it, even the pain, the anxiety and fear, aud the sudden brief lift of spirit that makes a hard journey more attractive.
I refine adventure, make it smaller and smaller. And now, whether I am moving on my hands and knees across the dining room to help my cat, lying wide-eyed in the dark battling another period of sadness, gathering flowers from the garden, meeting a friend for lunch, I am always having the adventures that are mine to have.
