A few weeks after my first wife, Georgia, was called to heaven, I was cooking dinner for my son and myself. For a 　31 , I had decided on frozen peas. As I was cutting open the bag, it 32 from my hand and crashed to the floor. The peas, like marbles (弹珠), 　33 everywhere. I tried to use a broom (扫帚), 　34 with each swipe they just rolled across the kitchen.

For the next week, every time I was in the 　35 , I found a pea — in a corner, or behind a table leg. They kept 　36 . Eight months later I pulled out the refrigerator to clean behind it, and 37 twelve frozen peas hidden underneath (在底下)．

At the time I found those few remaining 　38 , I was in a new relationship with a wonderful 　39 I’d met in a support group. After we married, I was reminded of those peas 40 the refrigerator, and realized that my 　41 had been like that bag of frozen peas. It had shattered (破碎). My wife had died; I was in a new city with a busy job, and with a son having trouble 　42 his new surroundings and the 　43 of his mother. I was a bag of spilled frozen peas; my life had come apart and scattered (散开)．

When life gets you 　44 , when everything you know comes apart, and when you think you’ll never make it, 　45 that it’s just a bag of scattered frozen peas. The peas can be 46 , and life will move on. You’ll find all the peas eventually, including the ones that are hardest to 　47 . And when you’ve got them 　48 , you’ll start to feel whole again.

The life you know can break apart at any time. But you’ll have to 　49 , and how fast you collect your peas depends on you. Will you keep scattering them around with a broom, 50 will you pick them up one by one and put your life back together?

The price of books is now so high that I hesitate before buying a book I love. Many people feel the same way. But I remember that only a few years ago, when I was a college student, I bought several books almost every month, using what was left out of the living expenses sent by my parents, and that was not more than 200 yuan.

But now that I am working and the money I earn is only used to support my own expenses, I find I can’t afford many good books.

There is a saying, “Book lovers have no money, but rich people have no feelings for books”. This is exactly the case. Sometimes I wonder about who the books are published for, especially those books with beautiful hard covers.

It is said that usually, the listed price is more than twice as much as the book’s cost and we can see high profits from selling books. But now there is a contradiction. On one hand, readers who want to buy books aren’t able to, while on the other hand, publishers and sellers suffer from the large stockpiles of unsaleable books being stored in their warehouses. This situation is also a disadvantage to intellectual property right protection because many books of bestsellers are sold at a lower price at some book stands.

The key to resolve the problem is to cut the price to an acceptable level to both sellers and consumers.

I wish sincerely that in the near future common readers like me can buy the books we want without worrying about the high prices too much.

As a reader, I, as many other book lovers do, often leave with a long sigh after visiting a bookstore. The prices printed on book jackets keep reminding me how thin my wallet is.
