I'll never forget one summer day in 1975．On that day my 1 suddenly died because of an unexplained illness at the age of 36．Later that afternoon, a police officer 2 to my house to ask for my father's permission(允许)for the hospital to 3 Mother' s valve(心脏瓣膜)．I was greatly 4 ．I ran into the house in tears．At the age of 14 I just couldn't understand why people would take apart(分解)a person I loved． 5 my father told him, "Yes．"
"How can you let them do that to her?" I 6 him．
"Linda," he said 7 , putting his arms around me, " the greatest present you can give is a part of 8 ．Your mother and I decided long ago that if we can make a person' s life 9 after we die, our death will have meaning．"
The lesson my father taught me that day became one of the most 10 in my life．
Years passed．I married and had a 11 of my own．In 1996 my father became seriously ill．
With a smile he told me that when he died, he wanted to 12 whatever was in good condition(状况), especially his eyes．
My father died and we donated 13 as he had wanted．Three days later, my daughter said, " Mum, I' m so 14 of what you did for Grandpa．" At that moment I realized that my father gave 15 his eyes．What he left behind sparkled(闪烁)in my daughter' s eyes－pride．
There is good news for the children in the countryside．We may still remember the girl 1 big eyes．Her big eyes are 2 us her dream; I wish to 3 !In China, there are still 4 girls and boys like．They want to go to school, but their 5 are too poor．If the family has two or three children, it is harder to 6 the money for all the children．So the parents often ask 7 to stay at home, and boys to go to school．
Now they needn’t 8 the money．From 2006 on, children can go to school for free in some poor places．They don’t have to pay for books and other things．Some of them can even get money from the government(政府)to make their life 9 ．Soon, all the children in the countryside can go to school for free．All families are very happy with the news．It is 10 great．
