Chambers suggested they go home, but Smith 　33　　that there were still several hours of daylight 　24　　and there was one other place they might try a bit longer before 　25　.

Smith drove his pickup（小货车）a couple of miles along the　26　road to get to the other side of the lake. This road, in the truest sense, was a path wagging in the heavy 　27　area. Even with the sun still high in the cloudless sky, the 　28　of trees formed a leafy　29　over the road and it suddenly seemed 　30　in the evening.

“A guy could get lost and nobody would ever find him,” said Chambers.

Smith smiled, “We’re 　31　there.” He said. A few seconds later, the smile was 　32　　from his face.

“What the hell is that?”

　　He braked to a stop. Less than twenty feet away was what appeared to be a  33  .

　　For several minutes the two men sat in the pickup 　34　to decide whether they had happened to 　35　someone’s bad practical joke or something far more serious. Smith with his brother-in-law got out of the pickup and 　36　walked towards that thing some distance before them.

It was a young man who was already dead. They had got to tell 　37　. Back into the pickup, Smith backed the pickup down the road 　38　he could turn around, then 　39　back. With the dead young man still on his mind, Smith felt as if he was going to be sick. God, how he　40　　they had given up fishing and gone home early.

Word came that the government must control the spread of this disease.

“Our job，”said the　26　officer，“is to spray the wall of every house in every town and village in the malaria parts of Mexico.You may be　27　to learn that there are about ninety-nine thousand　28　villages and towns.Some are big places like the capital city，　29　are single houses deep in the forest or upon the mountaintops.The men working with our program say that most of these people　30　within districts which are　31　enough for the mala ria-carrying mosquitoes to live in and spread the disease.That　32　that we must plan to spray the bricks of　33　three million houses once or twice a year for five years.”

“We have　34　everything very carefully，”said the officer　35　.“Our advance guards have drawn　36　of some forty thousand parts of the country for　37　by the spray teams.Each house in the malaria districts has been given a special　38　so that we can work in order.The United States has given us cars and trucks to carry the spray teams and their　39　.”

“The malaria program has been　40　with the people in this country.Everyone wants to　41　.The Defense Department is helping us plan the　42　of men and supplies.The Education Department has printed sheets in Spanish to explain　43　malaria is spread.Resistance is a problem.It was in the neighboring country—the United States that such resistance to spray was first　44　.Take the　45　of the housefly and D.D.T. At fist D.D.T. killed them off.Now it won’t hurt a fly.”

“What worries people is the danger that the mosquitoes may become resistant，”said the officer at last.

She had been shopping with her Mom in Wal­Mart. She must have been 6 years old. It was　31　outside. We all stood just　32　the door of the Wal­Mart.

Her voice was so sweet for the　33　waiting.“Mom, let’s run through the rain,” she said.

“What？” Mom asked.

“Let’s run through the rain！” She　34　.

“No, honey. We’ll wait until it　35　down a bit,” Mom replied.

This young child waited about　36　minute and repeated,“Mom, let’s run through the rain.”

“We’ll get soaked if we do,” Mom said.

“No,we won’t, Mom. That’s not what you said this morning,” the young girl said as she　

　37　her Mom’s arm.

“This morning？When did I say we could run through the rain and not get　38　？”

“Don’t you remember？When you were talking to Daddy about his cancer, you said,‘If God can get us　39　this, he can get us through anything！’”

The entire crowd became dead silent. I  40  you couldn’t hear anything but the rain. We all stood silently. Mom  41  and thought for a moment about what she would say.

“Honey, you are absolutely right. Let’s run through the rain. If we get wet, maybe we just need  42  ,” Mom said. Then off they ran.

We all stood watching, smiling and laughing as they  43  past the cars. They held their shopping  44  over their heads just in case. They got soaked. But they were  45  by a few who screamed and laughed like children all the  46  to their cars. And yes, I did. I ran. I got wet. I needed washing. Circumstances or people can take away your  47  possessions, they can take away your money, and they can take away your   48  .But no one can ever take away your precious  49  . So, don’t forget to  50  time and take the opportunities to make memories every day!
