After 17 years of marriage, my wife wanted me to take another woman out to dinner and a movie. She said, “I love you, but I know this other woman loves you and would love to spend some     36   with you.”
The other woman that my wife wanted me to visit was my MOTHER, who has been     37  for 20 years, but the demands of my work and my boys made it possible to visit her only     38   .
Then I called to visit her to go out for dinner and a movie. When I arrived at her house, I noticed that she had curled her    39  and was wearing a nice dress. My mother took my arm     40   she were the First Lady.
During the dinner, we had an agreeable    41 —nothing extraordinary but catching up on recent events of each other’s life. We talked so much that we missed the movie. At last, she said,” I’ll go out with you again, but only if you let me invite you.” I    42  .
Two days later, my mother died of a massive heart attack. It happened so suddenly that I didn’t have a    43   to do anything for her.
Later, I received a copy of a restaurant receipt from the place mother and I had dined. A(n)    44   note said, “I paid this bill in advance. I wasn’t sure that I could be there; but nevertheless, I paid for two plates—one for you and the other for your wife. You will never know what that night     45   for me. I love you, son.”
At that moment, I understood the importance of saying in time “I LOVE YOU” and giving our loved ones the time that they     46   . Nothing in life is more important than your family. Give them the time they deserve, because these things cannot be     47  till “some other time”.

It is possible to be an attractive person when you are in a job interview or in a place where you just want to gain the respect of others. It’s not about how much money you make, and it’s not about your daddy is. What it is about is some simple things in your life. It just has a lot to do with being confident in who you are.
62.                       
Ask questions about others when you stay with them and listen to them patiently. Talking about yourself all the time shows that you pay no attention to others. Shifting attention from yourself to others makes you attractive. It indicates that you are humble (谦逊的). If you come across as a know-it-all (even if you really do know it all), it really pushes people feel that you care, you are humble and you can be trusted.

63.                       
Have you ever seen a potentially very attractive person, but he has terrible posture (姿势)?It’s all ruined, isn’t it? Or perhaps you have seen someone who may be quite ugly but he has great posture and so suddenly he is really attractive? It’s true. Your posture says a lot about you – it says whether you have confidence, or simply if you really care. Talking physically, it is one of the most important physical characteristics you need.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               
64.                        
Keeping doing things shows that you have power. You’re told to stay busy to ward off (防止,避免) depression and feelings of anxiety. But did you know you should also stay busy to be really attractive? It’s true. Always have something to do. Have you ever seen someone just sitting around, doing nothing? How unattractive! Always be busy with something, Even if for some reason you have to make something up.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            
65.                          
Wear clothes that fit you. Too tight, people are distracted. Too loose, you just look sloppy (肥大而难看的). For women, wearing tight pants or shirts is not attractive. Slightly loose things are best, or other things that just fit you and your shape well but not tight. Men and women with taste and style really don’t know why some guys think their pants sagging down are somehow attractive. It just tells people you don’t really care. You are following the crowd. Wear things that fit you nicely.

Below are some of the heart-warming scenes that I witnessed and heard from others after the earthquake and flood.

In the supermarket, where goods of all the shelves  36 , people were picking up things so quickly together, and then  37  standing in line to buy food. Instead of creating panic(恐慌)and _38  as much as possible, they bought as little as they  39 _.

When I was walking home, there was a lady  40  a sign that said, “Please use our toilet.” She was  41  her house for people to go to the restroom. I also saw an old lady at a bakery shop  42  free bread. They made my heart  43 _.

A boy was saved because he climbed up on top of the roof of a store during the flood. The flood  44  so suddenly that he just saw people below trying to climb onto the roof, but failed. They were  45  by the flood. To help others, he kept filming them  46  their loved ones could see.

A foreign friend told me that she was  47  to see a long queue form so neatly(整齐地)behind one public phone. Everyone waited  48  to use the phone though they must have been so eager to call their families.

The  49  was horrible(可怕的)! Only one car could move  50  at a green light. But everyone was driving so calmly. During the 10-hour  51 , which would only take 30 minutes  52 , I heard only one horn(喇叭)and that was of thank you.

When I was  53  at the platform(站台), a homeless person gave me a piece of cardboard to sit on. Even though we usually  54  them in our daily life, they were ready to help us.

Through all of this, I felt  55 _. There is a bright future, on the other side of this disaster.
