I’ve often puzzled over something that happened to me one winter when I was eight. Over the years I had been wondering if my 31 was nothing more than a kid’s imagination.
There was a 32 near our house. In winter it was the greatest 33 place in the world. One 34 all I wanted to do was go skating. I had been waiting for weeks 35 the water was frozen solid. Mom had one rule: “Never ice-skate alone.” But I couldn’t 36 any longer that afternoon. So I 37 my skates under my coat and ran to the pond. Several people were skating near the shore, and some kids were playing hockey.I was not really 38 .
The hockey game had attracted 39 audience, so I skated in the other direction until their cheering 40 . But another noise came soon. The ice was cracking beneath me. Freezing water 41 my body, and I sank like a rock. My feet 42 the bottom. Just when I thought I wouldn’t last another 43 , I felt a tap on my shoulder. “Don’t worry,” someone said. I swung my 44 around. I couldn’t see anybody. But I heard the voice again,“Push your feet into the bottom and you’ll shoot straight up to the surface.” I did as I was told and 45 . I crawled to the shore and lay down, 46 .The next thing I knew was people were 47 around me, covering me with coats.
When I awoke, I was home in my own bed. Mom sat next to me, 48 my hand. “I saw nobody there. It must be an angel that came to my 49 .” I said. Mom smiled, “I just thank God you’re safe.”
For a long time I thought I would 50 a more realistic explanation if I just thought hard, but I never did.

Like most July days, it was hot.I stepped into a tiny ice-cream shop to cool off with a chocolate ice-cream.It was a very 21 store with little round tables and chairs.
As I entered, I found a very old woman bent over a 22 near the door.Her back was so 23 twisted (扭曲) by some misfortune that her face nearly 24 the tabletop.1 sat down 25 her a couple of tables away.
"Poor woman," I thought."What does she 26 life? Why does God let people live so long past their prime (盛年)?"
As I thought, another 27 lady entered the shop and sat down with her.Soon the two of them were 28 childhood days.They talked of how little the shop had changed in 70 years.In minutes, the two of them were shaking with 29 .
I looked again at the first woman, then in the 30 on a nearby wall, catching a picture of myself.I was wearing a dirty shirt.She was 31 dressed in white, her face carefully made up and her hands 32 with gold rings.I was 33 .She was laughing.I was putting the 34 of my life together.She had millions of 35 memories to recall. 36 I was worried about getting old.She was old, but it wasn't 37 her.As I left the shop, I thought of my 38 question about God letting people live past their prime.Why, that woman was more 39 to life than I was.Age has not 40 her spirit.
