I had my first chocolate bar(巧克力条) at five years old. I'll never forget the delicious, comforting taste. It was World War Ⅱ. I lived with my family in the Lithuanian town of Taurage.

One day, I ran away from Taurage and took a train to Hamburg alone. I lived on the streets, like thousands of other children in the city. I stole(偷)food for a living. Still, there was never enough.

Then the American army arrived. They looked so big and healthy. Stealing food from them wasn't easy. I'd go into the dining hall quietly, hide under a table and leave with some fresh bread.

One afternoon as I waited around a dining hall secretly to look for food, a huge hand lifted me up.by the collar. An American soldier. "Got you!" he shouted.

I was scared, and I could see it upset him. "It's okay, kid," he said. He reached into his jacket and handed me a chocolate bar. "Here, have some of this." I just took a small bite of it. I thought I'd gone to heaven.

The soldier took me and some other homeless children to an orphanage (孤儿院) run by the Red Cross. Four years later I was sent to an orphanage in Seattle, America. Soon after, I lived with an American family in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Again, as with that first taste of chocolate, it was as if I'd gone to heaven. Later, I joined the army, and then attended college. Finally, I got a master's degree in clinical(临床的) social work. I want to pay back all the people who were so good to me.

In 1983 I went to work for the Department of Veteran Affairs as a clinical counselor(顾问),treating the troubled soldiers who suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder(创伤后精神紧张性障碍).

The troubled soldiers sit in my office and wonder how I can possibly understand them or help ease their pain. That is when I tell them my story, and about the soldier who saved my life.

"I never did learn his name, but I remember his kindness," I say. And then I open a drawer in my desk that is always full and offer them some chocolate.

阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

"You can have your pick." a friend of mine called. Her sister's cat had had a group of kittens (小猫) just weeks before. 

I didn't know if I was ready yet, but it appeared she wouldn't easily give up. "I think it would be a1 for you, Shawon. You can't miss it. "

"Okay," I finally said. "How old are the kittens?"

"They were 2 on March 22."

March 22 this year, the day I would never3 . Sue, my wife, passed away on the same day. A series of memories rushed to my mind. 

For nearly ten years, Sue had been fighting cancer (癌症) . Through the whole painful journey, Boomie, our old cat, was there. He joined Sue on the sofa while she had a short sleep, feeling completely4 from the latest treatment. His antics (滑稽的动作) could bring a smile to Sue's face when the pain was at its5 . Sue loved Boomie very much, and it was a love Boomie returned. Boomie even comforted her after she lost her6 .

The cancer had caused Sue to drop a lot of weight. That must have been7 the ring had slipped (滑落) off her finger. I8 the house high and low for the ring, but no9 .

Boomie acted strange after Sue died, refusing to eat. Nobody could help him, even a vet. He couldn't10 without Sue. He had to be put down.

Coming back to earth, I thanked my friend for her kindness and made up my mind to take this chance. 

My new kitten finally11 and I decided to name it Belle Dame-French for "beautiful lady". She kept me entertained and relieved me a lot, bringing the house back to life. 

One morning, I heard some noise coming from the dining room. What was Belle up to now? I went to12 . Sure enough, Belle was on the floor, playing with something shiny. I bent down to pick it up. Only it wasn't a13 it was the missing ring. Sue's ring was found by Belle. I was too surprised to14 that! 

"When I die, I want to come back as a cat," Sue always joked. "And if I could choose, I'd come here!" 15 , there was no better place to be a cat than our house. 

"Maybe a miracle (奇迹) just happened. Sue, my Belle Dame." I thought to myself.

My son, Kevin, loved wrestling (摔跤运动) as he was growing up. When he entered high school, he showed a lot of athletic ability. Even as a freshman wrestler, we could see the hope of his future, and he went on to improve each year. As a senior, he'd become the leader of a team that set an unbelievable record. Just as we expected, he went into the state tournament (锦标赛). 

Then he won four matches and ranked number one. Here we were, in the finals of the state tournament, ready to win our championship—we still didn't have a state championship when his high school career was over. 

Unluckily, his last match didn't go well! I felt terrible, and I was unwilling to accept what had just happened and unable to believe it. I painfully watched Kevin as he shook hands with his opponent (对手) and stood calmly as the judge raised his opponent's hand in victory. Then he quietly walked out of the gym. 

A few weeks later, I received a letter from Kevin's school. In the letter, the principal praised Kevin's devotion to his team, his respect to his opponents and his spirit of competition. After I read this, I cried. 

For years, I had watched every single match where Kevin had wrestled in high school, but I hadn't noticed all the outstanding qualities that his principal (校长) mentioned. I always focused on the wins. And when he didn't get that final win, I was especially hurt and disappointed. I'd failed to realize that Kevin was working hard to achieve victories, but always performing with character no matter whether he won or lost. 

At that moment, my son became my mentor (导师). He taught me that winners in life appreciate the pursuit more than the victory itself.
