You Did More Than Carry My Books
　　Mark was walking home from school one day when he noticed a boy ahead of him had dropped all of the books he was    , along with a baseball bat and several other things. Mark knelt down and helped the boy pick up these articles. They _____ be going the same way, so Mark helped to carry some of them for him. As they walked, Mark    the boy's name was Bill, that he    computer games, baseball and history, that he was having a lot of    with his other subjects and that he had just broken    with his girl friend.
　　They arrived at Bill's home first and Mark was    in for a Coke and to watch some television. The afternoon passed   with a few laughs and some shared small talk, and then Mark went home. They   to see each other around school, had lunch together once or twice, and then both ended up from the same high school. Just three weeks before   , Bill asked Mark if they      talk. Bill    him of the day years ago when they had first met. “Do you ever __ why I was carrying so many things home that day?” asked Bill. “You see, I cleaned out my locker(儲物柜)    I didn't want to leave a mess (臟亂 )for anyone else. I    planned to leave this school and I was going home to    my things. But after we spent some time together    and laughing, I realized that    I had done that, I would have    a new friend and missed all the fun we would have together. So you see, Mark, when you picked up my books that day, you did a lot more. You     my life.”

The other day, I happened to meet someone I hadn’t seen for many years. I couldn’t believe the change in him. As a matter of fact, he didn’t even seem like the    person.
When I first knew Bill, back in    , he was one of the most carefree(無憂無慮的) people I had ever    . He was always ready to have a   . He usually went out for beer at three o’clock in the morning or drove 50 miles to see an old    he really liked. Bill and I were in the same class in college, and    was never dull when he was    . With him there was one wild    after another. Sometimes I wonder how we    to study for our exams.
Last week I was in Houston on business, and I ran into Bill in the bar at the hotel.   , I wasn’t even    it was he. Was this short-haired businessman really the same person? I wasn’t really sure until I came near him, but it indeed was Bill. Now he works for a bank. He    most of the evening about his job, his new car and his house. How he had changed! Back when we were in college, the   thing Bill cared about was possessions. Now they seemed to be his main  . Although I have changed quite a bit myself, somehow, I never    Bill changing so much. My image of him    the one I had formed    the time when we were college students together.
I suppose it’s    to expect people to remain the same, especially    I have changed so much myself. But I must say that I enjoyed the old Bill much more than the new Bill. Maybe he    the same way about me.

My childhood and adolescence were a joyous outpouring of energy, an endless pursuit for expression, skill, and experience.        was only a background to the great delight of lessons in music, dance, and dramatics.
Then one night at a high school dance, a remark, not intended for my       , injured my youthful happiness: “That girl, what a pity she is blind.” Blind! A(n)        word that implied everything dark, blank and helpless.       I turned and called out, “Please don’t feel sorry for me, I’m having lots of fun.”      the fun was not to last.
In college years, I began to struggle with the problem of earning a living. Part-time teaching of piano and occasional giving concerts proved only        sources of economic support. In terms of time and effort involved, the financial return was       . Self-doubt and dark moods sparked within me.        to my misery was the repeated experience of knowing my sisters and friends dating excitedly. How        I was to my piano,        I could dissolve my frustration, accompanied by Chopin, Brahms, and Beethoven.
Then one day, I met a girl, an army nurse, whose faith was to change my life. As our acquaintance        into friendship, she sensed my       . She said, “Stop knocking on closed doors. I know your opportunity will come. You’re trying too hard. Why don’t you relax? And have you ever tried       ?” The idea was strange to me. I had always believed that if you wanted        , you had to go and get it for yourself. Yet, my sincerity and hard work had yielded poor returns, so I was       to try anything else. Self-consciously, I performed the daily practice of prayer. I said, “God, show me the        for which You sent me to this world.
In the years to follow, the answers began to arrive, satisfying        my most optimistic expectation. One of the answers was Enchanted Hills, where my        friend and I had the privilege of seeing blind children come alive in God’s out-of-doors.        are the sources of pleasure and comfort I have found in friendship, and most important of all, I        closer to God and, through Him, to immortality (永生).

I had been playing hockey（冰球）for about 10 years. I was always the one sitting at the end of the bench, and      got into a game. I went to all the      and showed up even when it was so      that your ‘breath froze’ and when the otherplayers had decided to stay home. I felt I had      enough and thought of quitting.
I finally decided to      the news to my mom that I was leaving the team. My mom may have looked like a tiny and quiet lady but on      my words, she said, “Remember, ‘A quitter never wins and a winner never quits.’ Your mother didn’t raise      , so think about yourself in a      way and see yourself as a winner!” So I worked harder than ever at getting in better shape,      my shot（投球） accuracy and changing my      . 
Once in a match, we     our first game badly. What’s worse, one of our best players got hurt. I was sitting at my    place, at the end of the bench, when the coach came over and told me I was going      . I was nervous, excited and terrified all at the same time.
The opposing team was fast and I had to admit I was a little      .  But my mom’s words      out in my head like a church bell. Instead of being afraid, I was “pumped” and I very quickly found that all my      work was paying off.  I was as fast a skater as anyone else on the ice, and I seemed to get the     to score. The crowd went quiet.  All the time I spent on the ice when everyone had  
gone home had    me for this moment.
Won! I won!
The lesson I learned from my mom’s      has stayed with me over the years. I hear them whenever I am faced with a challenge, or whenever I      myself.
