Last year, my mom found out that she had stomach cancer. I thought she’d be fine after she got 　36 as she was diagnosed(诊断)early. She had an operation to 37 a third of her stomach to stop the cancer from spreading. And for two months she went back and forth to the 　38 . But I never visited her because I was 　39 with school abroad and didn’t fully know what was 　40 . After her treatment, she 　41 working because of her poor health and ate a(n) 　42 diet. I visited her in the summer holiday. She seemed better, so I forgot that there was a possibility of cancer 　43 .

　When school 　44 , I said goodbye to my family. My mom called me from home every day. 　45 in early November, my dad called instead. He sounded 46 .

　 “What’s wrong? How come Mom’s not calling me today?” I asked. After a few seconds, he said my mom’s cancer had returned and spread throughout her 　47 . Her survival rate was less than 30%.

　 After I put down the phone, I 　48 . Tears kept coming out. I didn’t want to 　49 it. I couldn’t accept the 　50 that my mom might not have much time left. I cried and cried and at last, I stopped crying. I thought I should stop acting like a 　51 and pull myself together.

　 Looking back to when my mom first got cancer, I 　52 how stupid I was for not appreciating her. I feel bad that I didn’t visit her in the hospital. I should have cared. She’s my mom. 　53 , it’s not too late. She recovered. I’ll try to spend more time with my mom 　54 . I hope you will do the same for your mom. Spend some time with your loved ones 　55 it is too late.

Waiting for the airplane to take off, I was happy to get a seat by myself．Just then, an air hostess 46 me and asked, "Would you mind changing your seat? A couple would like to sit together．The only other 47 seat was next to a woman with both arms in casts（石膏）, a black-and-blue face, and a depressed emotion．" 48 am I going to sit there" was my immediate thought． 49　 then a soft voice spoke, "She needs help．" Finally I took my new seat and 50 that the girl was named Kathy and had survived in an auto accident, and she was on her way for 51 .

When the snack of nuts and juice arrived，52 did not take me long to realize that Kathy would not be able to 53 herself．I considered offering to feed her but 54 , as it seemed too close a service to offer to a stranger．But then I decided that Kathy's need was more important than my 55 ．I offered to help her eat, and although she too was uncomfortable about __56___ it, she did. The experience was 　57 and she and I ___58__close in a short period of time. By the end of the five-hour trip, my heart was fully 　59 , and the time was __60___ better spent than if I had just sat by myself.

I was very glad I had reached beyond my comfort zone to sit next to Kathy and feed her. Love sometimes 　61 beyond human borders and dissolves the fears 　62 keep us separate. When we stretch to serve another, we grow to live in a larger, more 63 world.

　　　 Help me move 　64 the small self so I can connect with the hearts of others.

　　　 When I give 65 to another, I feed my own soul.
