In the middle of the night, Peter's wife suddenly fell ill. She couldn't help crying, “Oh, my stomach! Get the  1 !”

Peter, awaking from a deep sleep, thought his wife was only having a   2  dream.

“Stop that noise,” he said to her. He turned over and tried to go to   3  again, but his wife still cried out, “Oh, help!help! I'm sure I'm   4  .”

Peter got out of bed and started   5 , but he could not find him any clothes.

“Where is my shirt?” he asked. His wife was   6  ill to tell him, and she could only cry, “Oh, my   7   stomach!”

As soon as he had put his clothes   8 , he said, “Now, my dear, are you quite   9 that you need the doctor? Surely you can wait   10  morning, can’t you?”

“No, I can't. Go, go, go,” his wife shouted, “  11  you will find me dead   12  the morning.”

So Peter went out into the dark street. He had only gone a few meters   13  he heard his wife calling him again.

“I’m   14  again now, and I shall not want the doctor.” she said softly.

Hearing this, he started running as   15  as he could towards the doctor’s. When he arrived there, he knocked at the door loudly enough to wake   16  around.

The doctor put his sleepy head out of the bedroom window and said, “Er? Who’s there?”

“Oh, Doctor.” Peter called up to him, “I have very   17  news for you. My wife   18 ill with a terrible stomachache. I was on my way to bring you to her, but she called me back to say the trouble had suddenly  19  her. So you need not come. Go back to   20  now, and sleep well!”

I have learnt a lot about Chinese life and culture while teaching in Nanjing, Jiangsu Province and found them very interesting.

First, family life is quite   36   in China. In the USA, many young people   37   home after they finish their education and start working. However, in China, it is   38   for people to live with their parents until they get married.   39  , many of my Chinese friends told me that their  40   lived with them and helped take care of them when they were children. It seems that Americans think independence is more important   41   the Chinese think family relationships are more important.

Bargaining is another   42   that I have tried to learn. In the USA, prices are   43   and you can’t ask for a lower price. However in some small Chinese stores and tourist places, you are   44   to bargain. My Chinese friends taught me to ask for 40 percent or 50 percent   45   the original price. If the salesperson doesn’t agree to my price, I should   46   to leave and he might let me come back and sell me the item. It is a skill that you have to   47   if you live in China.

Tipping hasn’t been easier to   48  . In the USA, many people in the service   49   want to get   50   money for serving customers. Tipping is not a part of Chinese culture.   51   I tried to tip a taxi driver. He looked a little   52   and refused to take the money.

In dinners, perhaps what surprises an American visitor most is that some of the Chinese hosts like to put food into the plates of their   53  . Actually, this is a   54   of true friendship and politeness. My Chinese friend told me if I didn’t want to eat it, I should just   55   the food in the plate.

Some years ago I was offered a writing assignment that would require three months of travel through Europe.I had been abroad a couple of times, 36 I could hardly claim to know my way around the continent.Moreover, my  37 of foreign languages was  38 to a little college French.

I  39 .How would I,unable to speak the language and totally  40 with local geography or transportation systems,  41 interviews and do research? It seemed  42 ,and with much regret I sat down to write a letter begging  43 .Halfway through,a thought ran through my mind:you can’t learn if you don’t  44 .So I accepted the assignment.

There were some bad news. But by the time I had  45 the trip I was an experienced 46 .And ever since,I have never hesitated to  47 for even the most remote places,without guides or even  48 bookings,confident that somehow I will  49 .

The point is that the new,the  50 ,is almost by definition scary.But each time you try  51 ,you learn,and as the learning piles up,the world  52 to you.

I’ve  53 to ski at 40,and flown up the Rhine River in a balloon.And I know I’ll go on doing such things.It’s not because I’m  54 or more daring than others. I’m not. But I’ll accept anxiety as another name for  55 and I believe I can accomplish wonders.

My husband and I sat outside. A small child about three came up the street, accompanied by her mother. As she saw another girl a few feet away, she gave her admiring comment, “Mommy, I like her dress.” Her mom   21 , “Well, why don’t you go and tell her?”

The little girl walked   22  toward the girl wearing the pretty dress. The other one,

  23  the same age, was standing with her   24  turned, alongside her parents. They had not heard the compliment (赞美). Receiving no answer, this little one   25 . My husband said to the other girl, “  26  wants to tell you something.” As she turned around, connection was made. Once again, the little one   27  “I like your dress,” and upon hearing those words, the other one gave her a big smile and excitedly   28  “Look, it’s a spinning (旋转) dress!”, at which moment she began to spin in  29. Both of them smiled widely.

Now, the one stopped spinning and said, “It’s my favorite dress and I have (a)   30  that match!” She   31  running toward a stroller (婴儿车) parked nearby.

The mom and the daughter started to   32  down the street,   33  the encounter (邂逅) had ended. Moments later, the “spinning dress girl” reappeared, shoes in hand,   34  her new friend who had seemingly disappeared. Now, an elderly couple, seated on a bench, had obviously been  35  of all this. The man   36  the child, saying, “There’s someone coming behind you.” Then we saw one showed and the other   37  the beautiful shoes.

If you can make a   38  better, do it. I have no idea how many others that evening might have   39  this act, hoping to help good things to happen. But such brief moments,  40  together, make up what might very well be the important times in our lives.
