Just One Drink

　　There’s a small cross by the side of Highway 128, near the town of Boonville．If this cross could 　　1　　, it would tell you this sad story：

　　Seven years ago my brother, Michael, was on a friend’s farm．They decided to go out for dinner．Joe arrived and 　　2　　 to drive－after just one drink．

　　　　3　　, the four friends traveled the winding road．They didn’t know 　　4　　 it would end－nobody did．Suddenly, they changed their direction and swerved(拐进)into the 　　5　　 lane, colliding with a(n)　　6　　 car．

　　Back home we were watching E．T．on video in front of a warm fire．Then we went to bed．At 2∶00 A．M．a police officer 　　7　　 my mom with the 　　8　　 news．Michael had been killed．

　　In the morning, I found my mother and sister 　　9　　．I stood there, 　　10　　．“What’s wrong?”I asked, 　　11　　 my sleepy eyes．

　　Mom took a deep 　　12　　．“Come here…”

　　Thus began a difficult and tiring journey through grief(忧伤), where all roads lead to nowhere．It still 　　13　　 to remember that day．

　　The 　　14　　 thing that helps is telling my story, hoping you will remember it if you are 　　15　　 to get into a car with someone who has had a drink－even just 　　16　　 drink．

　　Joe chose the road to 　　17　　．He was convicted of manslaughter(过失杀人)and served time．　　18　　, the real punishment is living with the consequences of his actions．He left us with a(n)　　19　　 in our hearts that will never go away, a nightmare that will haunt him－and us－for the rest of our lives．And a small 　　20　　 by the side of Highway 128．

　　(Dedicated with love to the memory of Michael Laddish)

There is a story told about how Neil set about winning over one particular boy．The boy was always causing trouble and clearly regarded all teachers   36  a hostile eye．On one occasion, Neil, out taking a   37 , had just rounded a corner when he came across the boy playing on his own．The boy, not noticing he was no longer   38  , picked up a stone and threw it through one of the school windows．Turning, he saw Neil．Instead of finding himself   39   at angrily as he expected, the boy was   40   to see Neil bend down, pick up a stone and hurl it at another window．The boy had to   41   to get the window repaired, so did Neil．  42   he thought this a small price to pay for   43   a bond between himself and the boy, whose   44  improved afterwards．

 Neil was a remarkable character who knew just when to be   45   and just when to adopt a lighter touch when handling children．Not everyone is so   46  ．Willie Russell, the   47  , likes to talk about the time when he had freshly   48   from teacher training college and had just begun to work as a teacher．On his first day at the school he was left to do playground duty on his own, rather a（n）   49   experience for one so new to the job．Surrounded by children at morning break, he turned to see one of the children throwing a stone at a school window．When the boy saw that he had been   50   by a teacher, his face fell．  51   for this boy, Russell remembered the story about Neil．Stooping down he picked up a stone and propelled(投掷) it through another window．Turning to smile proudly at the boy his satisfaction was suddenly shattered by the sound of dozens of windows being   52   by flying stones．

Unfortunately he had failed to take into account the difference between his   53   and the one which Neil had faced, namely that he and the boy were not alone．It was at this point in his career that Russell decided that perhaps he was not quite cut out to be a teacher． Deciding after this that he was not suited to teaching he left to   54  playwriting．Most of his plays are very imaginative and  55  ．A bit like this story, in fact．

When I was fifteen, I announced to my English class that I was going to write my own books. Half the students smiled unkindly,   36   nearly fell out of their chairs laughing. “Don’t be   37  , only geniuses can become writers,” the English teacher said, “And you are getting a D this term.” I was so ashamed I burst into   38   . That night I wrote a short sad poem about broken dreams and mailed it to the newspaper. To my   39   , they published it and sent me two dollars. I was a published and paid writer. I showed my teacher and fellow students. They laughed, “Just plain dumb luck,” the teacher said. I  40  success. I’d sold the first thing I’d   41  written.

A month later I received a contract, an advance on payments, and a request to start   47  another book. Crying Wind, became a best seller, was translated into fifteen languages and sold worldwide. My first book also became  48  reading in native American schools in Canada.

     The   49  year I ever had as a writer I earned two dollars. In my best year I earned 36,000 dollars. People ask what college I   50   , what degrees I had and what qualifications I have to be a writer. The answer is: “None.” I just write. I’m not a genius. I use an electric typewriter that I paid a hundred and twenty nine dollars  51  six years ago. I do all the housework and  52   my writing in a few minutes here and there. I’ve written eight books. To all those who dream of writing, I’m shouting at you: “Yes, you can. Don’t listen to them.” I don’t write right   53   I’ve succeeded. Writing is   54   , it’s fun and anyone can do it.   55   , a little dumb luck doesn’t hurt.

    It was a cold winter morning. Half asleep at the train station, I stared into the distance,   31   for the train to take me to my   32   in Boston. The world was quiet. The very few people on the street kept to themselves,   33   their steaming cups of coffee.

Reaching into my pocket as the   34   was approaching, my numb hand searched for the $ 20 bill to pay my fare. The pocket was   35  ! I searched through my bag and then I felt   36  . Unless the money dropped from the sky, I’d be   37   there.

“What’s the matter?” A short, elderly man stood before me.

“Oh, nothing…Well, I   38   my money and now I can’t pay for the ticket. I’m going to   39   my math class and the train is leaving.”

“Here, use this.”

The man held a $ 20 bill. I looked up,   40  . People just didn’t do that any more. Everyone worried about their own   41  , rarely stopping to think about others, especially teenage strangers.

“Thank you, but no, I can’t.”

“  42   it—go!” The man pushed me   43   the train. I bought a round-trip ticket, and he refused the change I   44   to give him back. I did not know what to say — a million thoughts raced through my mind, yet I stood   45  .

For the train ride I was silent. I began to see the world through   46   eyes. That man made a difference with such a simple   47  .

A week later I was at the train station again, with an extra $20   48   I saw the man. And there he was.

“Excuse me, sir, I believe I owe you this.” I   49   the money into his hand.

Failing to refuse, he said, “Just remember to do the same for someone in your shoes some day.” I smiled,   50  .

The elderly man is my hero. For many, heroes are famous, but my hero is a giving stranger who taught me a lesson in life. I will never forget his kindness.
