　　t I wonder about my Momma sometimes，and all the other Negro(blacks)mothers who got up at 6 a．m．to go to the white man’s house with sacks over their shoes because it was so wet and cold．I wonder how they made it．They worked very hard for the man，they made his breakfast and they scrubbed his floors and they took care of his babies．They didn’t have too much time for us．

　　wonder about my Momma，who walked out of a white woman’s clean house at midnight and came back to her own where the lights had been out for three months，and the pipes were frozen and the wind came in through the holes in the wall．She’s have to make deals with the rats： leave some food out for them so they wouldn’t bite the doors or the babies．The roaches(蟑螂)? Oh，hey were just like part of the family!

　　wonder how she felt telling those white kids she took care of to brush their teeth after they ate，to wash their hands after they finish bathroom．She could never tell her own kids because there wasn’t soap or water back home．

　　wonder how my Momma felt when we came home from school with a list of vitamins and pills the school nurse said we had to have．Momma would cry all night，and them go out and spend most of the rent money for pills．A week later，the white man would come for his eighteen dollars’ rent and Momma would beg him to wait until tomorrow．She had to lie to him that she had lost her wallet or the relief check was coming soon or the white people had some money for her．Tomorrow I’d be hiding in the closet because there was only supposed to be two kids in the flat，and I could hear the rent man shout at my Momma and call her a cheat．And when he finally went away，Momma put the sacks on her shoes and went off to the rich white man’s house to dress the rich white kids so their mother could take them to a special baby doctor．

I want to make the most of every day. And, like most people, I've 1 that the best way to do it is (to) let go of past failures. But that's not all. One can never fully 2 today while thinking too much about past successes, either. People never 3 while resting comfortably on their laurels (荣誉). The 4 is that sometimes our successes hold us back more than our failures!
I once 5 a story about the Oscar owner, actor Clark Gable. A friend 6 Gable one afternoon at the actor's home. She brought along her 7 son, who was playing happily with toy cars on the floor. He 8 he was racing those cars around a great track, which in 9 was an imaginary circle around a golden statue. The small statue the boy played with was actually the Oscar Clark Gable 10 for his performance in the 1934 movie It Happened One Night.
When his mother told him the time had come to 11 , the little boy asked the actor, “Can I have this？” 12 to the Oscar.
“Sure,” he smiled. “It's yours.”
The horrified mother 13 . “Put that back immediately！”
Giving the child the golden statue, Clark Gable said, “Having the Oscar around doesn't mean anything to me; 14 it does.” The actor seemed to know that past success could be a 15 hammock (吊床) upon which he may be tempted to 16, rather than a springboard setting him to begin a new start.
You may have learned to let go of past 17 and mistakes in order to free the present. But will you forget past successes and achievements in order to free the 18？Will your past be a springboard or a restful hammock?
