  Sometime today — perhaps several times — Dick Winter will think about the 19-year-old who saved his life.

  Because of this young man,Winter enjoys things like friendships,colours and laughter every day.

  The young man saved Winter's life by signing an organ donor card(器官捐献卡).

  “I can't say thank you enough,”Winter said yesterday at a news conference marking the tenth anniversary of the Multi Organ Transplant program at Toronto General Hospital.

  What Winter knows of the 19-year-old who saved his life is only that he died in a car accident and that his family was willing to honour his wishes and donate his organs for transplantation.

  His liver(肝脏)went to Winter,who was dying from liver trouble.“Not a day goes by that I don't think of what a painful thing it must have been for them,”Winter said yesterday.

  “They are very,very special people.”

  Winter,63,is fitter now than he was 10 years ago,when he got the transplant.He has five medals from the 1995 World Transplant Games in swimming and hopes to collect some more next year in Japan.

  “At one time,we were probably strange people in the eyes of other people.Now it's expected you should be able to go back and do everything you did before,only better.”

  The biggest change for Winter,however,isn't that he has become a competitive athlete.The biggest change is how deeply he appreciates every little thing about his life now.

  “I have no time for arguments,”said Winter.

  “You change everything.Material things don't mean as much.Friendships mean a lot.”

  Also at yesterday's news conference was Dr Gray Levy,Winter's doctor.

  Levy said he has bitter-sweet feelings when he looks at Winter and hears of his athletic exploits.

  Levy knows that for every recipient(接受者)like Winter,there are several others who die even though they could be saved because there aren't enough donated organs.

  “For every Mr Winter,we have five to ten people that will never be given the chance that Mr Winter was given,”Levy said.

  Levy said greater public awareness and more resources are needed.He noted that in Spain and the United States,hospitals receive $ 10,000 per donor to cover the costs of the operating room,doctors,nurses and teams to work with the donors' families.

Grandfather’s Clock

In the dining room of my grandfather’s house stood a(n)  36 grandfather clock. Meals in that dining room were  37 for four generations to become one. And always that grandfather clock stood like a trusted family friend, watching over the laughter and story  38

and gentle kidding that were a part of our lives. Year after year, the clock  39 , a part of my memories, a part of my heart. Even more wonderful to me was my grandfather’s  40 . He wound that clock with a special key each day. That key was magic to me. It kept our family’s magnificent clock ticking and chiming. I remember watching as my grand-father took the key from his pocket and opened the hidden door in the massive clock. He inserted the key and

41    not too much, never overwind, he’d tell me seriously, nor too  42 . He never let that clock wind down and stop. When we grandkids got a little older, he showed us how to open the door and let us each take a turn  43 the key. I remember the first time I did, I

44 , to be part of this family routine was sacred. After my  45 grandfather died, it was several days after the funeral  46 I remembered the clock! The tears flowed freely when I entered the dining room. The clock stood lonely as quiet as the  47 had been, hushed. The clock even seemed smaller. Not quite as magnificent without my grandfather’s special 48 . I couldn’t  49 to look at it. Sometime later, years later, my grandmother gave me the clock and the key. The old house was quiet. The hands on the clock were 50 , a reminder of time

All of a sudden, I was a child again, watching my grandfather with his silver-white hair and  52  blue eyes. He was there, winking at me, at the secret of the clock’s magic, at the key that held so much power. I stood,

53 in the moment for a long time. Then slowly, I inserted the key. It  54 to life. Tick-tock, tick-tock, life and chimes were  55 into the dining room, into the house and into my heart. In the movement of the hands of the clock, my grandfather lived again.

The forest began to disappear, which  18 all the animals dying out.  19 couldn’t get food and were forced to eat other humans.
