He drove after drinking alcohol, having a severe accident and had to get his arms removed．Since then, he has had to __31__ on his younger brother, who became his shadow, never leaving him alone for years. Except for writing with his toes, he was totally unable to do __32__ else. As the two brothers grew up together, they had their own problems and would often __33__. Finally, his younger brother went away and lived __34__, leaving him heartbroken and at a loss what to do.

　　　 __35__, a misfortune befell（降临）a girl. One night she was preparing dinner when the kerosene light on the stove was overturned, __36__ in a fire which took her hands away.

Though my __39__ are broken, my heart can still fly.” she wrote in her blog.

　　　 One day, the young man and the girl were both invited to a（n）__40__ programme. The boy told the television hostess about his __41__ future, whereas the girl was full of __42__ for her life. They were both asked to write something on a piece of paper with their __43__. The boy: My younger brother’s arms are my arms. The girl: Broken wings, flying heart.

　　　 They had both gone through the same ordeal（痛苦经历）, but their different __44__ determined the nature of their lives. As seems the case, __45__ disasters can strike our life at any time.

Sometimes giving someone a helping hand is just simple．But sometimes it works like a 36 that opens a door to a whole new world of understanding．

Living in a small all-white 　37　 in the Midwest, my family and I were 38　 that we were safe from the race riots （暴乱） in some larger cities．That 　39　 when I began working at a bank in a larger city nearby．My family　 40　 gave me advice on whom to avoid, what situation to stay away, and how to 　41　 myself．

On a snowy　 42　 after work, I guided my second-hand car out onto the street and knew 　43 I didn't have to stop, it would keep running．The battery needed replacing．

However, as I expected the car choked and died at a red light．Fortunately, to my 　44 ，I saw a pair of headlights coming up．But 　45　 three young black men jumped out of the car, I could hardly　 46 - fear filled me．

The driver came to my windows and asked if I needed help．I 　47 for a moment and then nodded．The fellows crowded around at once and　 43__ working．As one of them connected the two engines by cables, my nerve （神经） jumped with so much electricity I think I could have charged the 49 and brought it back to life．But thankfully they 50 completed the project．

I pulled out a few　 51 from the purse, "It's all I have but it's yours, I appreciate the help．Thank you．"

The driver must have seen the 52　 still in my eyes because he smiled, seeming to be 53 by my panic, and then waved his hand, "You　 54　 it．Just glad to help．"

This experience taught me that I should never simply 　55 anyone according to their skin color or race or wealth．
