The art of living is to know when to hold fast and when to let go. When know that this is1  , but all too often we recognize this truth  2  in our backward glance when we remember what it was and then suddenly  3  that it is no more.

A recent  4  re-taught me this truth. I was hospitalized  5  a serious heart attack and had been in intensive  6  for several days. It was not a pleasant place.

One morning, I had to have some additional  7  ，so I had to be wheeled across the count yard on a gurney（n.轮床）.

         8  we got out from our unit, the sunlight hit me. Just the  9  of the sun. And yet how beautiful it was---how warming, how sparking, how brilliant! I  10  around to see whether anyone else loved the sun's golden glow, but everyone was  11 ,most with eyes fixed on the ground. At that moment, I came to realize  12  gifts are precious----but we are too  13  about them.

     Hold fast to life, but not so fast, or you cannot  14  .This is the second side of life's  15  , the opposite pole of its paradox（悖论）：we must   16  our losses, and learn how to let go.

       This is not an easy  17  to learn, especially when we are young and think that the world is ours to command, and that  18  we desire with the full force of our passionate being, can, and, will, be ours. But then life  19  , keeping us faced with realities, and  20  but surely this truth dawns upon us.

　　“You will meet a man in the theatre foyer,” K. explained. “He will have left before the play ends and will be 1 for you. He'll be wearing a dark suit and carrying a theatre 2 upside down, although I doubt if you could miss him. There shouldn't be many people waiting in the foyer at that time of night. 3 he asks you to do, whatever instructions you're given, co-operate. Understood?” I nodded. I knew of course that we were planning to have discussions with “the other side” and that we intended to 4 back one of our own men, but all this seemed a bit ridiculous. I had been told at the training school that I would be likely to get some simple but rather strange 5 to begin with. They had been 6 .

　　The curtain had 7 come down on the last act of the play when I was out of my 8 and walking from the dark of the theatre into the bright lights of the foyer. He was there. But the moment I saw him, I had the 9 that something unpleasant was about to happen. He seemed to be 10 at a spot on the floor, and looked as if he was just about to pick something up when 11 was a single gun shot and he was thrown 12 the wall. The warning signs had obviously got to me 13 I realized consciously what was going to happen, because I had 14 in a cold sweat on seeing the expression on his 15 . The moment the shot rang out, I automatically fell back on my training and threw myself to the 16 .

　　When no more shots followed, I looked 17 and was just in time to see two masked men 18 my“contact” out of the front door of the theatre. I didn't know 19 he was dead or badly injured, but I intended to find out. I got up slowly and carefully and 20 for the door.
