      A few years ago, an elderly woman entered my video store, along with her daughter. The daughter was displaying a serious case of 1, 2 her watch every few seconds. If she had possessed a leash(绳子), her mother would have been 3 to it as a means of pulling her along to 4 the rush of other shoppers.

As we walked along the back of the store, I 10 its floor plan: old television shows, action movies, cartoons, science fiction. The woman seemed glad of the unrushed “trip” and 11 conversation.

      I said to her daughter, “ 12 some advice?” “Of course not,” said the daughter. “13 her ,” I said. “When she's gone, it's the little 14 that will come back to you. Times like this. I know.” It was 15 . I still missed my mom and remembered the times when I'd used my impatience to make her 16 .

    My mother and I started our morning by rushing into the local grocery store. I waited in line at the Starbucks counter while she 1 around to pick up a few things.

    As I was 2 there I noticed an elderly woman, wearing layers（层）3 layers of old torn clothing, moving behind me in line.

    She had a few toiletries（化妆品）and seemed to want the Starbucks cashier to 4 since our queue was shorter than the grocery store queues were.

    At some point I became 5 of her moving closer behind me — it was 6 than I was comfortable with! I instinctively（本能地）7 a hand over my purse and drew it closer to me. My fear and imagination raced creating wild 8 about this homeless woman who might try to 9 from me.

    Then it was my 10 to order. As the cashier rang up my total, I discovered I was 37 cents 11. I called to my mother but she was hard of hearing. She asked me to 12 what I said but she still couldn't 13 me out.

    At that point, a long grey arm, with 14 in its sleeves, 15 over from behind me. She laid 37 cents out on the counter, saying, "Here. We all need some 16 sometimes."

    I was 17 ! Here was a woman who clearly had very little to 18 and in great need herself. I had judged her 19 and she had reached out, voluntarily, to help me!

    What an amazing gift and lesson this woman gave me about 20 others. Thank you, God!

But when the two brothers both grew up, his younger brother wanted to 4 from him, living his own life. 5 he was heart-broken and didn't know what to do.

    A 6  disaster befell (降临) a girl, too. One night her mother who suffered from mental illness 7. So her father went out looking for her mother, 8 her alone at home. She tried to 9 meals for her parents, only to overturn the kerosene light(煤油灯)on the stove, resulting in a 10 which took her hands away. Though her elder sister showed her willingness to take care of her, she decided to be completely 11. At school, she always studied hard. Once she wrote the following in her composition, "I am 12. Though I lost my arms, I still have legs. I am lucky. Though my wings are 13, my heart can still fly."

    One day, the boy and the girl were both invited to appear on a 14 interview program. The boy told the TV host about his 15 future at being left on his own. However, the girl was full of 16 for her life. They both were asked to write something on a piece of paper with their 17.  The boy wrote "My younger brother's arms are my arms" 18 the girl wrote "Broken wings, flying heart".

    It is true that disasters can strike19. But if we decided to be 20, the hardship will turn out to be a fortune on which new hopes will arise.
