        After I finished college, I couldn't find a job in Los Angeles. At last I had to move to Las Vegas but left my family behind. I missed them all week, and I went home on most weekends to see them. I often rented a car because I would often have lots of problems on the way to Los Angeles or to Las Vegas if I drove my poor car.

        One time I decided to save money, and I drove my car. It got to California, but on the way back to Vegas it was broken. I didn't know what I should do. Then a middle-aged man drove up. He put in some coolant and repaired my car. He made it start soon.

        I gave him the $12 in my wallet, and he said he would use it for the next car. Then I knew that he was a mechanic who drove up and down the highway each weekend to help the drivers in trouble.

        Now fifteen years has passed, but I still think about what a great man he is.

       “It's 8:15 on a Sunday morning,” said the officer, Tidwell, “and this sort of thing seems an unlikely adventure(冒险) at such a time. Would you mind explaining?”
        The man was astonished(吃惊的) at the voice from behind. He turned about and said, “I know what you're thinking, officer, but it isn't true. It's a very funny mistake.”
       “I think you've just left this house in a manner rather than the usual one. That may be quite all right, but I'd like to make sure.” Tidwell took out his notebook and a pen. “Name, address and occupation and then, please tell me your story.”
       “Charlie Crane, lorry(卡车) driver, from Nottingham, 51 Brecon Street. My story?”
       “Yes, What were you doing like a fly on that wall, Mr. Crane?”
       “Well, I had a breakdown yesterday and had to stay the night here. The landlady's name is Mrs. Fern. She gave me breakfast at seven, and I was out of here in the right way and down at the lorry park by half past seven. It was only when I felt around for a cigarette that I realized I'd left $80 under the pillow(枕头) here. It's a habit I've got into. I even do it almost every day.”
       “I see. Why didn't you miss it when you meant to pay Mrs.? What's her name?”
       “I paid her last night. You've got to pay when you take the room, see? So I came rushing back, but it's Sunday, and she'd gone back to bed. I rang the bell and banged on the front door for ten minutes before I came round here. Up I went this pipe(管子) and the money was still there. You know the rest, and I hope you believe it because….”
       “Mr. Crane, whatever are you doing here? I thought you'd gone an hour ago.”It was Mrs. Fern.

    That morning, I got on the train as always. I was a publishing director and was looking forward to embracing a new day of work, as usual. I would always turn to the crossword, but that day it didn't make sense. I'd been doing it for 30-old years, but trying to read this one was like walking through syrup(糖浆): 1 slow and hard. I thought I must be tired.

    I said to my assistant. The 2 colleague contacted my wife, Beth, and she drove me straight to hospital. There, confirmation came that I'd had a stroke (中风) in the part of my brain that 3 with communication. I was now in a condition that means it's difficult or 4 to acquire and produce language. It was the only time I cried.

    I was back at home a week later, and my goal was to get better and return to work in a couple of months. The way to 5 my language ability was rough. I'd look at simple pictures and try to describe them as my mind 6 round and round in the darkness, looking for words.

     As the months passed, it became self-evident that I wasn't going to be able to go back to my old job. For 25 years, I had 7 myself as a publisher. I was used to a busy day of meetings. I didn't feel ready to say goodbye to my old self. There were times when I felt incredibly 8 . In the darkest months, I devoted myself to 9 . I couldn't manage novels or newspapers, 10 I tried reading poetry, and found the shorter lines less overwhelming. My speech came back, and I learned how to read again, though much more slowly. I also learned the 11 to keep up. I allowed myself to12 , and started to enjoy it.

    13 , I get rid of my old skin. I grieved the past, its passing and its absence, and started to come to terms with it. Now, 10 years later, I look after my grandson a day a week, and my relationship with my family is deeper than ever. If you'd asked me 15 years ago to 14 the importance of the things in my life I might have said work, but now I'm no longer a high-achieving publisher or someone who reads 10 books a week. I'm a 15 man, and if I read 10 books a year, that's pretty good.
