The lady with the white fence(篱笆)taught me to leave the gale to life open.. .
My husband died in an accident and I became very angry. I hated being alone. One day, as I was   43   down a busy street, I suddenly noticed a new fence around a house. I pulled off to really watch it. It was such a good   44   that I was deeply touched. I could not send   45 away. The fence still smelled of fresh paint.
“Hello!" I came up and said to a lady in the back garden, “I came to see the fence. It's so beautiful!"
“Oh! The fence is not there for me," the lady explained to me in a calm voice, “I live alone. _ 46_so many people pass by every day, and I think they may be pleased to see something really attractive.     47   stop like you and come up to have a chat. "
"But weren't you sad when they expanded (拓宽) the road and everything changed so much?"
"Change is part of life and takes part in    48   us who we are. When something we do not
like happens to us, we have two choices—to become a    49   person or to become a better person."
Her reply changed my life. I carefully left the gate open and drove on   50   a new feeling inside me. I could not tell  51  it was, but I could feel the thick stone wall around my angry heart breaking off. And  52   a pretty white fence was built. I decided that I would keep the gate open for everything and everyone that came my way.

Last night I was driving from Harrisburg to Lewisburg, a distance of about 80 miles. It was late, I was late, and I was driving 31_________.
At one point along an open highway, I came to a crossroads with a traffic light. I was 32_________ on the road by now, but as I came near the light, it turned 33_________, and I braked to a stop. I looked left, right, and behind me. Nothing. Not a car, no suggestion of headlights, 34_________ there I sat, waiting for the light to 35_________, the only human being, for at least a mile in any 36_________.
I started wondering why I 37_________ to run the light. I was not afraid of being caught, because there was 38_________ no policeman anywhere around and there certainly would have been no 39_________ in going through it.
Much later that 40_________, after I’d met with a group in Lewisburg and had climbed into bed near midnight, the question of why I’d stopped for that light 41_________ me. I think I stopped 42_________ it’s part of a contract(契约) we all have with each other.
