Once a circle(圆圈) lost a piece. The circle wanted to be whole, so he went around     36    for the missing piece.
Because he was incomplete(不完整的), he rolled very      37    . He saw the beautiful flowers along the road, talked with the      38     and enjoyed the sunshine on his way. He found       39   different pieces, but     40    of them fit him. So he left them all by the side of the road and   41    searching(搜索).
One day      42     circle found the right piece. It fit him perfectly. He      43     be whole, with nothing missing. He was so happy. He could roll very fast,     44     fast to notice the flowers and talk to the birds.    45    he found how different the world seemed as he rolled so quickly, he stopped. He    46  the found piece by the side of the road and rolled slowly away.
A person who has everything is     47     in some ways. He will     48     have hopes and dreams. We can’t be perfect, but we can be kind enough to share happiness with others     49     smart enough to know there is enough      50    around us to live a wonderful life.

For the 17 years my life was very happy. Then the first sad thing happened. My mother became very ill. Just before she died, she asked Elizabeth and me to go to her room. She said, “Victor and Elizabeth, I’m very happy because you love each other, and because one day you’ll get married. Everyone in the family loves you, Elizabeth. Will you take my place in the family, my dear? I can die happy if you look after them when I have gone.”

My mother died and we were very sad, because we loved her so much. Elizabeth was brave and helped us; her sweet smile gave us some happiness in the unhappy days after my mother’s death. The time came for me to go to university(大学). I didn’t want to leave my sad family, but we all knew that I should go. It was hard to leave, too, because the parents of my good friend Henry would not let him go to university with me. So I had gone alone.

On my first day at university I met Professor Waldman. He gave a wonderful talk to all the students. He ended his talk by saying, “Some of you will become the greatest scientists of tomorrow. You must study hard and discover everything that you can.”

After the professor’s talk, I thought very carefully. I remembered the storm when I was 15; I remembered how the lightning had destroyed the tree. From then on, I wanted to use electricity to help people, and I wanted to discover the secrets of life. I decided to work on these two things.

I started to work the next day. I worked very hard and soon Professor Waldman and I realized that I could learn to be a very good scientist.

The professor and other important scientists helped me. I was interested in my work and I did not take one day’s holiday during the next two years. After two years, I had discovered many things and I built a scientific machine that was the best in the university. My machine would help me answer the most important question of all. How does life begin? Is it possible to put life into dead things? To answer these questions about life I had to learn first about death. I had to watch bodies from the moment when they died and the warm life left them. In the hospital and in the university, I watched the dying and the dead. Day after day, month after month, I followed death, so it was a dark and terrible time.

I built a tall mast(桅杆)about 150 metres high, which is higher than the tallest building in the city, to catch lightning and send the electricity down to my machine in the lab. I believed I could use that electricity to give life to things that were dead.

Then one day, the answer came to me. Suddenly I was sure that I knew the secret of life.
