After a car accident put me into the hospital，I felt angry about the way my life was turning out．The doctors repaired the major damage done to my  41  ．But 1 was lying there feeling pretty sorry for myself．I didn’t care to see anyone or to talk to anyone．

For a week the nurses had been good about leaving my door closed．But one morning 1 was awakened by  42  of people in the hallway．

Since 1 was still feeling  43  for myself．I didn’t wake up in a pleasant mood．As I pushed the button to ca11 the nurse．I saw a little boy in the hallway，holding a teddy bear in one hand．A cast(石膏)completely  44  his other arm，from fingers to shoulder．

I heard his mother telling him to sit and wait．He looked over to me and   45  at me．Then without warning he came running into my room．As 1 was silently complaining of the nurses leaving my door  46  , the smile upon his face widened．

He came right up next to my  47  and held out his big brown teddy bear．It was missing an eye but cute．I stared at him．not knowing what he was wanting from me．

He said．”Teddy is still sick．He needs to stay here．Could you keep him here till he gets better?”

I  48  out and took Teddy from his hand．I promised 1 would take care of Teddy until the time he got better and keep him from  49  afterwards．

Just then the mother called to him．He looked back at me，said  50  and ran out．His mother smiled down at him and the nurse wheeled him away．I sat there hugging Teddy．The nurse responded to my call  51  in time to catch the tears rolling down my cheeks and the biggest smile on my face．

1 will never forget what that little boy gave to me that day．It was so much   52    a well-loved，one-eyed teddy bear．I have kept my promises to that little boy too．

After more than a year of bitter political debate, President Obama sat down in the White House East Room on March 23 and signed the 2010 Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act into law with a pen，and then another pen，and another．Obama used 22 pens to sign the $938 billion health care bill．

The practice of using different pens to sign important legislation（法规）dates at least as far back as Franklin Roosevelt．The reason is fairly simple．The pen used to sign historic legislation itself becomes a historical artifact．The more pens a President uses, the more thank-you gifts he can offer to those who helped create that piece of history．The White House often give pens to supporters of the newly signed legislation．When Lyndon Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act in 1964, he reportedly used more than 75 pens and gave one of the first ones to Martin Luther King Jr．And in 1996, President Clinton gave the four pens he used to sign the Line-Item Veto bill to those most likely to appreciate the bill's consequence.

    Once they're given away, some pens end up in museums; others are displayed proudly in recipients'(接受者) offices or homes．But they sometimes appear again, like in the 2008 presidential campaign（竞选活动）, when John Macain promised to use the same pen given to him by President Reagan to cut pork from the federal budget．

Not every President goes for the multipen signature, however．President George W．Bush preferred signing bills with only one pen and then offering several unused "gift" pens as souvenirs．
