Once upon a time there lived an old man in a nice cottage with a large garden. The old man was seen 36 his flowers all the time. They were so well-tended that every passer-by could not but 37 for a glance.
One day a young man went by the garden. He gazed at the splendid garden, 38 in admiration at the beauty of these sceneries. Then, suddenly he 39 the old gardener was blind. 40 , the young man asked, “Why are you busy tending these flowers every day which you can’t 41 in fact?” The old man smiled and answered that “ I can tell you 42 reasons. First I was a 43 when I was young, and I really like this job. Second, although I can’t see these flowers, yet I can 44 them. Third，I can smell sweetness of them. As to the last one, that’s 45 .
“Me? But you don’t know me,” responded the young man 46 .
“Yeah, it’s 47 that I don’t know you. But I know everyone knows flowers and would never 48 them down. I know the beauty of my garden will get many people into a good 49 . In the meantime, it also 50 a chance to me to have a word with you here and to enjoy the happiness these flowers have brought us.”
The old man’s 51 astonished me. The blind man grows flowers and 52 them as a link of minds so as to make 53 enjoy the sunshine in spring. Isn’t it one kind of happiness？
I believe every flower has 54 with which they can see the kindness of the man’s heart. The blind man grows flowers in his heart. Though 55 to see the beauty of blossoming, he surely can hear the voice of it, I suppose.

There are going to be moments in life when you must make very important decisions. You will find many people 36 to offer you advice if you ask for it (and even if you don’t), but always remember that the life you 37 is yours and nobody else’s. It’s important to decide for yourself what’s important to you and what you want before you 38 others. Because while there will be times 39 outside advice proves wise, there will be at least as many times when it proves completely 40.. The only way to really evaluate other folks’ advice is to first learn everything that you can about whatever challenge you are 41 . Once you’ve done that, in most cases you should be able to make a wise decision 42 anyway.
You were 43 with the ability to decide what is and what isn’t in your best interest. Most of the time, you will make the right decision and 44 the appropriate actions, and in thinking for yourself, you will become far more successful than if you had gone against your own 45 .
Early on in my investment career, I made the mistake of 46 a few important business decisions on colleagues’ opinions instead of conducting the 47 necessary to make a wise decision. It wasn’t due to 48 on my part; no one could ever accuse me of that. But, being 49 to Wall Street, I intended to assume that my more senior 50 knew more than I did, and so I 51 too much significance to their opinions.
You know what happened? Each of those investments ended in 52 . Eventually I stopped allowing myself to be influenced by 53 and began doing the work myself and making my own decisions. It took me until I was almost 30 years old to 54 this—it’s never too late for a person to change his approach both to
55 and 
to life.

The simplest way to say it is this: I believe in my mother. My 【小题1】 began when I was just a kid. I 【小题2】 becoming a doctor. My mother was a worker. Through her work, she observed that 【小题3】 people spent a lot more time reading than they 【小题4】 watching television. She announced that my brother and I
【小题5】watch two to three TV programs during the week. With our free time, we had to read two books each from the Detroit Public Library and then 【小题6】 her written book reports. She would mark them up with check marks and highlights. Years later we realized her marks were a 【小题7】 . My mother was illiterate (文盲的).
When I entered high school I was an A-student, but not for long. I 【小题8】 the fashionable clothes. I wanted to 【小题9】 the guys. I went from being an A-student to a B-student to a C-student. One night my mother came home after 【小题10】 at one of her several jobs and I complained about not having enough Italian knit shirts. She said, “Okay, I’ll give you all the money I make this week scrubbing (擦洗) floors and cleaning bathrooms, and you can buy 【小题11】 food and pay the bills. With the money that is 【小题12】 , you can have all the Italian knit shirts you want.” I was very 【小题13】 with that plan, but once I had finished paying for all of the important things, there was 【小题14】 left. I realized that my mother was always dealing with money well to be able to 【小题15】 a roof over our heads and to put food on the table. I also realized that immediate satisfaction wasn’t going to get me anywhere. _【小题16】__ required intellectual (智力的) preparation. I went back to my 【小题17】 and became an A-student again. Finally, I 【小题18】 my dream and I became a doctor. My story is really my mother’s story — a woman with 【小题19】 formal education who used her position as a parent to change the lives of many people around the globe. Now I believe that there is no job more 【小题20】 than parenting.

Returning from a trip overseas, I sensed that something was wrong between Keith, one of my two sons, and me. So I asked him, “Keith, have I done anything that really 41 your feelings?”
Immediately, he said, “Yes, last Christmas you promised us a special 42 that I really wanted but you 43 gave it to me.”
The 44 was that I’d completely forgotten about it. I 45 , “Is there anything else I’ve done wrong, but I haven’t apologized 46 ?”
Again, his 47 was immediate, “Remember last Christmas when Mom said you had to go to the 48 because Kate, my little sister, was going to be born? You left us at home and 49 in a hurry. Remember?”
“Well, you left and forgot the suitcase.” I couldn’t believe he 50 all the details! “After you came back from the hospital you were 51 to see the suitcase had been opened and 52 had been thrown all over the place, and then you 53 me.”
“And you didn’t do it?” I asked.
“No, I didn’t. I was just searching for my gift.”
My heart sank. I felt 54 . I hugged Keith and asked him to 55 me. His honesty made me think of my other son, Kevin. Maybe I’d hurt his feelings, too. I went to ask him the 56 question. Kevin answered as immediately as his 57 , “Last Christmas you promised us a special toy, but you forget about it.”
58 Christmas had passed, I took my two sons to the store that day and bought them what I had promised. The 59 thing wasn’t the toy. The problem was that I’d made a promise too 60 and didn’t keep it as their mother.

It was one of the hottest days of the dry season. We had not seen rain in almost a month. The crops were 【小题1】 .The rivers were long gone back into the 【小题2】 .If we didn’t see some rain soon, we would lose everything. It was on this day that I learned the true 【小题3】 of sharing and 【小题4】 the only miracle I had seen with my own eyes.
I was in the kitchen making lunch when I saw my six-year-old son, Billy, walking toward the woods. Minutes after he 【小题5】 into the woods, he came running out again, toward the house.
I went back to make sandwiches, 【小题6】 that what he had been doing was completed. Moments later, 【小题7】 ,he was once again toward the woods. This 【小题8】 went on for an hour—walked 【小题9】 to the woods, and ran back to the house.
【小题10】 I couldn’t take it any longer, so I went out of the house quietly and 【小题11】 him on his journey. As I leaned into spy on him. I saw the most 【小题12】 sight. Several large deer were in front of him. Billy walked right up to them. And I saw a tiny young deer lying on the ground 【小题13】 suffering from dehydrateion (脱水) and heat exhaustion, lifting its head with 【小题14】 effort to drink up the water in my beautiful boy’s 【小题15】 .
When the water was 【小题16】 ,Billy jumped up to run back to the house. I followed him back to a tap that we had 【小题17】 .Billy opened it all the way up and a small trickle(细流) began to creep out. When he stood up and began to 【小题18】 ,I was there in front of him. His little eyes were just filled with tears.
“I’m not 【小题19】 ,”was all he said.
As the tears that rolled down his face began to hit the ground,they were suddenly 【小题20】 by other drops…more drops…and more.
All I can say is that the rain that came that day saved our farm, just like one little boy saved deer.
