On the first day of the school, our teacher made us know somebody. Looking out, we found an old woman1at the door. She came in and said, “Hi, my name is Susan. I am seventy years old”. All of us were2that she took this3 at her age. She said with a smile. “I'm here to meet a rich husband, get 4, have two children and travel together. ” Hearing this, all of us laughed. “ In fact, ” she went on, “I have always5of having a college education, and now it comes6! ”

    After class we had chocolate and milk together. We became good7. I often listened to this “time machine” as she shared her8with me. At the end of the term we invited Susan to give a9in the class. When she was in the front of the classroom, suddenly she found she took the wrong paper. She felt a little10and said, “I am sorry. I am so nervous. I can't get my ready talk11, so I have to tell you12I know. “

    In her speech she told us “We don't stop playing as we are old, we grow old13we stop playing. The secret of staying 14and being happy is that we should laugh and find something 15 to do every day. I think there is a great16between growing old and growing up. I am seventy now. If I17in bed for one year and never do anything, I'll become seventy-one. Since(既然) anybody can grow older, my18 is to grow up by always finding the chance to change. Growing older can't be avoided, growing up can be19. It's never too late to be all you can possibly be. ”

    During the four years' study, it was so easy for Susan to make friends20she went. In the end, the wonderful woman finished all her courses and got the college degree (学位).

    Two years after I finished medical school, I began my internship(实习)in a hospital. There, I met with a patient named Benny. I discovered that he was 1 for a heart transplant(移植). He'd seen so many fellow patients during his stay that he felt comfortable giving tips to the2 men and women.

    "You have got a minute?" he asked me one day.

    "I have a minute."

    "I see a new group of interns here every month. But I think I have to say something to you. Matt, it seems that you're always in a 3 and that talking to me is another box to check for you,"' he said.

    These words were 4 for me. No one wants to hear that his patients think he doesn't 5 about them.

    "Take a look at what you're doing. You're sitting down, and we're having an actual6. Usually you just…，" Benny said.

    "Plan to run away as soon as I enter the room. "

    "Yeah…"

    From that day on, I found myself7 in to see Benny often, not only to examine him but also to talk about how I was working hard8a new doctor.

    As the months passed, I was becoming a better doctor, but nothing happened to Benny. One evening, I couldn't help asking, "Anything going on with the wait list?"

    "No news is9news," he said softly. "But I'm sure I will."

Finally, Benny got the heart.

    Standing in front of his bed, I felt so 10" Take good care of this guy," I said to the other doctors softly. "I'm not his doctor anymore. Now…just a friend."

    I planned to go on a vacation with my family. The idea had come me as I1 to a talk on my car radio.

    The speaker said, 'Love is an act of will. A person can choose to love."2myself, I had to say that I spent little time with 3wife Mary. Well, for two weeks that would change.

    After the long drive, I wanted to sit and read. Mary suggested a walk on the beach. I started to refuse, 4 then I thought, 'Mary's been alone here with kid all week and now she wants to be alone with me." We walked

    On the beach5 the children flew their kites.

    Relaxed and 6, that is how the whole 7 passed. I made a new decision to keep on remembering to choose love.

    There was 8 wrong with my experiment. However, Mary and I still 9 about it today. On the last night, Mary looked at me with the 10 expression.

    'What's 11 matter?" I asked her.

    'Tom," she said in a voice 12 with sadness, 'do you know something 13 I don't?"

    'What do you mean?"

    'Our doctor…did he tell you something about me? Tom, you've been so good to me…am I dying?"

    It took a moment for it all to sink in. Then I couldn't help laughing 14 .

    'No, honey," I said, holding he in my arms. You're not dying; I 15 to live."
