I was being interviewed by a senior manager for a major insurance(保险业) company. I told him honestly why I wanted the job----I needed to keep my family in Boston. My wife recently died of a heart attack. A job in Boston would help me reduce some of the extreme trauma (精神创伤) and pain of the loss for my 16-year-old daughter. It was important for me to keep her in her high school. I could still hardly talk about the loss of my wife.
Bruce, the interviewer, was politely empathetic, but he didn't probe any further. He admitted my loss and with great respect, moved on to another subject. After the next round of the interview, Bruce took me to lunch with another person. Then he asked me to take a walk with him. He told me that he, too, had lost his wife. And, like me, he had also been married 20 years and had three children.
In his sharing, I realized that he had experienced the same pain as I had -----a pain that was almost impossible to explain to someone who had not lost a beloved one. He offered his business card and home phone number and suggested that, if I need help or just want someone to talk to, I should feel free to give him a call.
Whether I got the job or not, he wanted me to know that he was there if I ever needed help. When he had no idea if we would ever see each other again, he helped our family deal with one of the greatest losses. He turned the normally cold business interview into a caring support for another person in need.

Dear Kitty,
I am sorry that I did not write to you earlier because I have been very 1 . I was helping with a charity show to raise money 2 Project Green Hope. A lot of work needed to be finished, so I did not have much free time.
I felt very happy when I was chosen to be the host. It was exciting, 3 I was also very nervous. I knew that lots of people would watch the show and that many famous pop 4 would come, too. We started working on the show half a year ago so that we could do everything on time. My job was to introduce each star and I also had many other duties. We practiced a lot before the show. I had to remember to 5 the right camera at the right time. 6 , I thought I would never be able to remember all the words. Slowly, everything became 7 .
The big day came very quickly, and I was so excited. Twenty minutes before the big event, we opened the doors and many people came into the theatre to watch the show. The fans of the pop stars were making a noise, so I had to speak 8 .
Everything seemed to happen so fast. A lot of 9 has been given to Project Green Hope. I hope more events like this will be organized to raise money for charity and I think more people should be 10 to take part in them.
See you soon.
Best wishes!
Ricky
