Gao Xiaosong, who is a famous musician, movie director and the writer of the famous song My Deskmate, has been sent to jail(监狱) and will{#blank#}1{#/blank#} there for six months for drunk driving.
“I've {#blank#}2{#/blank#} to say for myself and I'm willing to be punished(惩罚),” he said when he was standing in the{#blank#}3{#/blank#} . “What I want to say is that I feel {#blank#}4{#/blank#} for what I've done. I thought alcohol(酒精)could bring me freedom but never realized drunk driving could {#blank#}5{#/blank#} away others' freedom. And now I've{#blank#}6{#/blank#} my own freedom because of drinking. I'll obey the new road safety {#blank#}7{#/blank#}and I want to be a life-long volunteer in persuading(劝说) others not to drive after drinking.”
Anyone who drives after drinking doesn't think much of human life. If Gao had cared, he would have left his car parked outside the restaurant and took a{#blank#}8{#/blank#} home, and he would have thought about a road killer he would become. It's fair to say that his behavior can not be {#blank#}9{#/blank#} in modern society. Gao may not have killed anyone, but by choosing to drive a car while under theinfluence of alcohol, he and the large number of others who do the same have{#blank#}10{#/blank#} the dangerous decision that may possibly hurt other people.

Dear Ronny,
　　Years ago you came to me for help. You said, "Grandpa, how could you do so {#blank#}1{#/blank#} in your life? You're still active to your life, but I'm already tired of {#blank#}2{#/blank#} for my life. How can I get the same thing that you've got?"
　　I didn't know what to say to you. But when I know there are few days left for me, I tell {#blank#}3{#/blank#} that I should give you an answer. So here is what I believe.
First, you should know that life is filled(充满) with{#blank#}4{#/blank#} , and many of them are good ones. If you don't keep your eyes {#blank#}5{#/blank#} , you'll miss a number of good surprises in your life.　　
　　When you meet challenges, don't run away, just welcome them. They'll make you stronger, {#blank#}6{#/blank#} and cleverer than you were before. When you do something wrong, you should be thankful for the things it gave you. And then, you should use this lesson to help you {#blank#}7{#/blank#} your dream come true. It's also important to decide what you want. Then keep your dream , work hard for it, and be ready to receive it. It will come true more quickly.
　　And always follow the rules, even the little ones. When you follow the rules, life will work well. {#blank#}8{#/blank#} you think you can live without the rules, you're only fooling(愚弄) yourself.
　　There will be more chances {#blank#}9{#/blank#} you are growing up. So you have to be brave enough to move from a known place to an unknown place. Life isn't just like climbing one mountain. It is also a part of your life to move {#blank#}10{#/blank#} one top to the next. If you rest for a too long time, you may fail at last. Leave the past in the past. Climb the next mountain and enjoy the fight in your life.
　　The person that can win is the one who wants to win.
Love always,
　　Grandpa
