A beggar, carrying a shabby(破旧的) old wallet, was begging alone from house to house. As he complained about his 36 , he kept wondering that people who lived in 37 houses should always be unsatisfied, 38 rich they might be, and they should go so far as to 39 all they have.

       “Here, for example,” he said, the former master of this house succeeded in trading, and made himself very rich. By then, instead of stopping, and handing over his 40 to another, and spending the rest of his years 41 peace, he took to(从事) equipping ships. He expected to get mountains of gold; but the ships were 42 , and his treasures were lost. Now they all lie at the bottom of the sea, and he has found his 43 disappeared like those in dreams. In short, examples of this are 44.

       At this moment Fortune suddenly appeared to the beggar and said, “Listen! I have long wished to 45 you. Here are a lot of gold coins I have found. Hold out your wallet, and I will fill it with them; but only on this condition: All shall be gold that falls into the wallet, but if 46 of them falls out of the wallet to the ground, it 47 become dust. Consider this well. I have warned you I shall 48 keep my word. Your wallet is old, don’t fill it 49 its power.” The beggar was almost too overjoyed to breathe. He 50 felt the ground below his feet. A stream of coins were poured 51 it. The wallet soon became rather heavy.

       “Is that 52 ?” “Not yet,” “Isn’t it 53 ?” “Never fear.” “Consider, you are a millionaire.” “Just a little more, just 54 a handful,” But at that moment the wallet broke, the gold coins 55 dust and Fortune disappeared. The beggar had nothing but his empty wallet and remained as poor as before.

My Fellow Americans,

I have recently been told that I am one of the millions of Americans who will be suffered from Alzheimer’s Disease (老年痴呆症).

Upon learning this news, Nancy & I had to decide whether as private citizens we would   36   this a private matter or we would make this news known in a   37   way.

In the past Nancy suffered from breast cancer   38   I had my cancer surgeries (外科手术). We found that after we told it to the public, we were able to   39   public awareness(意识). We were happy that   40   many more people went to have a test. They were treated in early stages and able to   41   to normal, healthy lives.

So now, we feel it is   42   to share it with you. In opening our hearts, we hope this might promote greater   43   of this condition. Perhaps it will encourage a clearer understanding of the individuals and families who are   44   by it.

At the moment I feel just fine. I’d   45   to live the remainder of the years God gives me on this earth doing the things I have   46   done. I will continue to share   47    journey with my beloved Nancy and my family. I plan to enjoy the great outdoors and stay in touch   48   my friends and supporters.

Unfortunately, as Alzheimer’s Disease   49  , the family often suffers a lot. I only wish there was some way I could spare Nancy from this   50   experience. When the time comes I am confident that with your help she will   51   it with faith and courage.

At last, let me thank you, the American people for giving me the great honor of   52    me to serve as your President. When the Lord calls me home,   53   that may be, I will leave with the greatest love for this country of ours and endless optimism (乐观) for its future.

I now begin this   54   that will lead me into the sunset of my life. I know that for America there will always be a bright   55   ahead.

Thank you my friends. May God always bless you.

                                                                                                         Sincerely,
