My 14-year-old brother John dreamed of having a black woolen coat, for at that time this kind of coat was 31  with teenagers, but it could cost several hundred dollars. One day my brother and I went into a shop and saw a black woolen coat at the same time. The coat felt very soft, and it cost only $28. It was  32  but so nice. We looked at each other, saying nothing, but John’s eyes shone.

    John tried on the coat and  33  it at once. John wore the coat to school the next day happily and came home with a big  34 . “How do the kids like your coat?” I asked. “They love it,” he said. I started to call him “Lord (老爷) John”.

    Over the next few weeks, there seemed to be a  35  in John. He became more polite, more confident and more pleasing. He would 36  his classmates his pens; he would bring his father a cup of tea when he got home; he would  37  a blind man cross the road.

    When my mother talked about her son’s change with one of his teachers and wondered what caused it, he said, “It must be his 38 !” One day, in the library, my brother and I happened to meet a friend of my father’s, who had not seen us for a long time. John came up and shook hands with him like a 39 ! The friend said in surprise, “Are you John? You have changed so much!”

John, 11 years old, was in bed in hospital. Several days before, while he was 46 in a baseball game, he fell and hit his head. The doctor believed that he might 47 get well.

“He seems to have given up hope. So medicine alone won’t 48 . Perhaps he needs something else,” said a doctor. “When I visit him, all he ever says is that he would like to meet Babe Ruth.”

To meet Babe Ruth, of course, was not 49 . In America, Babe Ruth was as 50 a man as the President himself, and he was the most famous baseball player.

The next day John’s father managed(设法)to tell Babe Ruth about the story of his son on the phone. Twenty-four hours later, as the boy 51 in his hospital room, in walked 52 . Young John could hardly believe his own eyes!

The great baseball player sat down at John’s bedside, saying, “Now, listen, kid, you’ve got to get well. I’ve brought you a new American League baseball, 53 you must start throwing it.”

For John this was the beginning of a new life. 54 his doctor’s surprise, the boy walked out of the hospital on his own a few weeks later. He was able to live a healthy life—all because of the 55 of Babe Ruth.

I watched quietly as my little brother was caught in the act. He sat in the corner of the living room, a  41 in one hand and my father's new book in the other.

   42 my father walked into the room, my brother cowered (畏缩) slowly. He sensed that he had done something  43  . From a distance I could see that he had  44 my father's new book and scribbled (乱画) in it. Now, looking at my father in 45  , he and I both waited for his punishment.

  My father  46  up his prized book, looked at it carefully, and then sat down, without saying a word. Books were  47 to him. He was a clergyman(牧师) and for him, books were  48 .What he did next was unbelievable. Instead of  49 my brother, he sat down, took the pen from  50 , and then wrote in the book himself, alongside the scribbles John had made:

John s work, 1959, age 2. How many times have I looked into your beautiful face and into your warm, alert (警觉的) eyes looking up at me? And how many times have I 51 God for the one who has now scribbled in my new book?

  "Wow," I thought, "This is punishment?" The years and the books came and went. Our family experienced what all families go through and perhaps a little bit more: happiness and  52  , laughter and tears. We always knew our parents  53 us and that one of the proofs (证明) of their love was the book. From time to time we would  54 it, look at the scribbles, read my father's expression of love, and feel  55  .

On my first job, I worked as a sports editor for a small newspaper. I never got a letter from my readers, so I was  3l that there was an envelope(信封)on my desk one morning. From the  32 , I could see it was from a most popular newspaper.

When I opened it, I found a note and it read, “You did a good job. Go on!”

The note was  33 by Mr. John, a famous sports editor. As I was a green hand(新手), his words made me  34 . After that, I kept the note in my desk drawer. Whenever I doubted
35 I had the ability to be a good editor(编辑) , I would read John’s note and become
36 again.

Later, when I made friends with Mr. John, the note writer, I learned that he often wrote notes to  37 young people in many fields. “When I make  38 feel happy,” he told me, “I feel happy, too.”
   39 , why are there few note writers like John in our life? In my  40 , many people are afraid that they cannot be well understood. Also, writing takes more time and it is not
41 to pick up the phone. The problem with phone calls is that they cannot  42 a long time, but a note is a good way of record and our words can be read  43 .

So, when you find some people around you need  44 , please write a note of encouragement to bring them more confidence. Maybe, you are not sure what will
45 , but remember Mr. John’s words—making others feel happy makes you happy, too.
