I drove a school bus as a part-time job. Thirty-nine children all had stories to tell me about their summers. Charlie though __16__me. From the first day on Charlie was __17__. If a fight broke out I didn’t have to turn my __18__to know who had started it. If a girl was crying chances were that Charlie had __19__ her hair. No matter how I spoke to him gently or __20__ he wouldn’t say a word. He’d just __21__ me with those big gray eyes of his. One day I found a small tin heart (小锡心)on the bus was gone. “Does anyone know __22__happened to the little heart here” I asked. Some children cried “Charlie __23__it Search him” When I asked him to come forward his gaze( 注视) __24__ my eyes. I stuck my hand into one of his pockets. Then I felt it—the __25__ outline(轮廓)of the small tin heart. Charlie stared at me for a long time. There were no __26__ in those big gray eyes no plea( 恳求) for mercy. He seemed to be waiting for what he’d come to __27__ from the world. I was about to pull the tin heart out of Charlie’s pocket __28__I stopped myself. Let him keep it, I said “It must have fallen off before I got here.” Without a word Charlie __29__ to his seat. When he got off at his stop, he didn’t so much as glance at me. Several days later just that__30__ Charlie moved away… A dozen years after retirement we met in the street. To my __31__, he hugged me. After he let go, he pulled something from his pocket and held it up for me to see. An old key chain… bent out of __32__, the lettering faded (消褪). You __33__probably guess what it was—the little tin heart. “You were the only one who kept trying.” He explained. We __34__ again and went our separate ways. I am so __35__ I’d done a good job.

It’s only after three weeks into a new job that I made a serious mistake. My boss called it “extremely embarrassing” in a company-wide e-mail — which,    31  , he wrote because he felt he needed to explain that what I did was something    32  in the company should ever do.
I wish I   33   give a good excuse for what I did. At the very least, I wish I could explain it somehow —    34  it on youth, inexperience or ignorance. Unfortunately, I’m    35  , experienced and I know better.
   36  I work with some very kind and compassionate(富于同情心的) people. For the past couple of days many of them have taken time to   37  by my desk and offer comfort, encouragement and support. Some have shared with me similar    38  they have made. Evidently I’m not the only “    39   ” person here.
One of the exchanges I had this week was with Lois, the much-honored, much-respected professional who    40  the desk right next to mine. Lois was completely    41  about her work, and to be honest I was a little nervous about how she would   42  to such an extremely embarrassing incident.
As I expected, Lois didn’t pass over the   43   when she saw me the next day. She mentioned it directly,   44  with empathetic consideration. She listened to my   45  . Just as I was ready to express my regrets, she brought my self-pity partly to a(n)   46  .
“It happened”, she said, “There’s nothing you can do to    47  that. It happened. But it’s over now. It’s   48  . It’s in the past. You need to let it go, and move on.” And with that she returned her   49  to her work, as if to say, “We’re done here.”
I beat myself up for weeks. At such times I need to remember those   50  words: It’s over. It’s done. Let it go. And mostly, move on.

One evening two young men were walking in the street. They tried to find a chance to steal everything. The clock struck twelve. Most people were in bed. Quickly they came to the house and it seems that everyone in the house had fallen sleep. Standing at the front gate, one man whispered in English to the other at a low voice, “You wait here. I will go around to the front door and then get into the house.” All of sudden, out of the house ran a dog, barked at them. The two men were much afraid and ran away as fast as possibly. They didn’t stop until they got to a lonely place. One man said to the other in surprise, “It’s too bad. I had thought that the dog could understand English.”

The letter was a great disappointment to me. It was from Holy Cross, the only school I really wanted to 41 . I scanned the page, “…. We had a great applicant pool this year. …We can’t offer spaces to 42 … and place you on our waiting list.”

“What does it say, honey?” my dad asked, his voice full of 43 for me.

“I didn’t get in, but I’m on the waiting list.”

“Well, at least it isn’t 44 ,” he said brightly.

“Yeah, but 45 , I don’t want to be on the waiting list; I want to be 46 . No one gets in off the waiting list. It’s a way of saying ‘Thanks for 47 ’.”

“Then let’s go out there and tell them so.”

“That sounds 48 , dad.” I said sadly, “It doesn’t work.”

Upset and annoyed, I 49 myself in my room. However，my father’s advice kept 50 in my head. I thought about it for a few days, finally coming to the 51 that he was right. And the next day I seated myself across from Mr. Luis Soto, my admissions officer.

“What can I do for you, Nacie?” he asked pleasantly.

“Well, sir, I am here to tell you that I love this school and would love a 52 to be here. I just wanted to tell you how much going here would 53 to me—it is my only dream college— and that I would use my time here to the best 54 . I wanted to let you know that if you gave me a chance and reconsidered my application, you wouldn’t 55 it.” The words had poured out 56 I could stop them or check their desperate tone.

Mr. Soto looked me over for a minute before he smiled broadly.

“OK, that is the kind of thing we love to hear. Congratulations, you’re in.”

It was so 57 and I asked, “I’m sorry?”

“We want people in the class who want to be here, who will 58 the best of this education. I’m glad you came to talk 59 to me. I’m happy to offer you a position in the Class of 2009.”
