A few weeks ago, I followed a friend into an art supply store.I found him picking out tubes of water-color paint, which __36__ me because he’s not an artist.
"I 37 up for a water-color class, and it starts next week," he said."I really don’t have 38_ for it, but it was on my list of 50 things to do before I die, so I _39__ it.Every few months I look at the list and decide what to focus on next. 40 I had the list, I complained a lot about what I was 41 _ in my life.Now I just bury myself in doing these things.Write your own list.and you’ll 42 what I mean."
So that night.I did just that, and he was right.The list revealed (显露出) a whole lot about what was __43__ to me.It also revealed how _44___ behind I am at getting to the things I really want.
I filled up the first twenty __45__ quickly, but then began to think carefully.
Eventually I __46_ items I’ve thought about for years, and __47__ I’ve carried with me since I was young.When I 48 the list later, some entries surprised me.
First, I want to _ 49_ much more, particularly now that my children are 50_ and can go with me to see the world.I would like to take them to bike through Denmark and camp in the Canadian Rockies.
I’m also surprised to _51_ some things on the list that need to be done soon.If I’m going to learn to roller-blade (轮滑), __52_, I’d better start before I turn 50.
Like my friend, I now have an alternative to __53__.When I’m bored with life, I take out my list.
My friend told me the _54_ was preparing the ground so that life could work in mysterious ways."If you want your ship to come in, you must build a dock (码头)," he said.
Thanks to my _55__, I’m working on some big docks.

Joe came to New York from the Middle West, dreaming about painting. Delia came to New York from the South, dreaming about music. Joe and Delia met in a studio. Before long they were good friends and got married.
They had only a small flat to live in, but they were happy. They loved each other, and they were both interested in art. Everything was fine until one day they found they had spent all their money.
Delia decided to give music lessons. One afternoon she said to her husband:
“Joe, , I’ve found a pupil, a general’s daughter. She is a sweet girl. I’m to give three lessons a week and get $5 a lesson.”
But Joe was not glad.
“But how about me?” he said.” Do you think I’m going to watch you work while I play with my art? No, I want to earn some money too.”
“Joe, , you are silly,” said Delia. “You must keep at your studies. We can live quite happily on $15 a week.”
“Well, perhaps I can sell some of my pictures,” said Joe.
Every day they parted in the morning and met in the evening. A week passed and Delia brought home fifteen dollars, but she looked a little tired.
“Clementina sometimes gets on my nerves. I’m afraid she doesn’t practice enough. But the general is the nicest old man! I wish you could know him, Joe.”
And then Joe took eighteen dollars out of his pocket.
“I’ve sold one of my pictures to a man from Peoria,” he said, “and he has ordered another.”
“I’m so glad,” said Delia. “Thirty-three dollars! We never had so much to spend before. We’ll have a good supper tonight.”
Next week Joe came home and put another eighteen dollars on the table. In half an hour Delia came, her right hand in a bandage.
“What’s the matter with your hand?” said Joe. Delia laughed and said:
“Oh, a funny thing happened! Clemantina gave me a plate of soup and spilled some of it on my hand. She was very sorry for it. And so was the old general. But why are you looking at me like that, Joe?”
“What time this afternoon did you burn your hand, Delia?”
“Five o’clock, I think. The iron-I mean the soup-was ready about five, Why?”
“Delia, come and sit here,” said Joe. He drew her to the couch and sat beside her.
“What do you do every day, Delia? Do you really give music lesson? Tell me the truth.”
She began to cry.
“I couldn’t get any pupils,” she said, “So I got a place in a laundry ironing shirts. This afternoon a girl accidentally set down an iron on my hand and I got a bad burn. But tell me, Joe, how did you guess that I wasn’t giving music lessons?”
“It’s very simple,” said Joe. “I knew all about your bandages because I had to send them upstairs to a girl in the laundry who had an accident with a hot iron. You see, I work in the engine-room of the same laundry where you work.”
“And your pictures? Did you sell any to that man from Peoria?”
“Well, your general with his Clemantina is an invention, and so is my man from Peoria.”
And then they both laughed.
