It’s only after three weeks into a new job that I made a serious mistake. My boss called it “extremely embarrassing” in a company-wide e-mail — which, __36__, he wrote because he felt he needed to explain that what I did was something __37__ in the company should ever do.
I wish I __38__ give a good excuse for what I did. At the very least, I wish I could explain it somehow — __39__ it on youth, inexperience or ignorance. Unfortunately, I’m __40__, experienced and I know better.
__41__ I work with some very kind and compassionate(富于同情心的) people. For the past couple of days many of them have taken time to __42__ by my desk and offer comfort, encouragement and support. Some have shared with me similar __43__ they have made. Evidently I’m not the only “ __44__ ” person here.
One of the exchanges I had this week was with Lois, the much-honored, much-respected professional who __45__ the desk right next to mine. Lois was completely __46__ about her work, and to be honest I was a little nervous about how she would __47__ to such an extremely embarrassing incident.
As I expected, Lois didn’t pass over the __48__ when she saw me the next day. She mentioned it directly, __49__ with empathetic(体恤别人感受的) consideration. She listened to my   __ 50__. Just as I was ready to express my regrets, she brought my self-pity partly to a(n)   __51__.
“It happened”, she said, “There’s nothing you can do to __52__ that. It happened. But it’s over now. It’s __53__. It’s in the past. You need to let it go, and move on.” And with that she returned her __54__ to her work, as if to say, “We’re done here.”
I beat myself up for weeks. At such times I need to remember those __55__ words: It’s over. It’s done. Let it go. And mostly, move on.

On my first day of the sixth grade, I noticed one little girl called Amy on the school bus. “Don’t __26__ her,” Lauren said, who sat beside me. “Or they will make fun of you.”
Amy had many __27__ differences — lots of reasons for other kids to make fun of her. Her eyes weren’t straight. Her glasses were an inch thick. And she had really ugly teeth.
Every day __28__ we drove to and from school, kids would shout insults (侮辱) at Amy. “God, what a (n) __29__ face! Stop looking at me!” “Mr. Rolland (the driver)! Amy took off her __30__, and now her eyes are __31__ me! Make her put them back on!” For a while I shouted my share of insults, just so I’d fit in (合群). __32__, I didn’t want them to treat me the same way they treated Amy.
But while I was insulting her, my heart __33__ for the girl. I could see that the insults were making her look __34__, because she was so ashamed (羞愧) and alone. Then I wanted to __35__ her. I just didn’t know how to stop my schoolmates __36__ the night of our class roller-skating party.
Our whole class was there, including Amy. Amy didn’t know how to __37__, but I could see how much she wanted to __38__ like the rest of us. So I skated over to her and took her by the hand; we began the journey together around the skating rink (溜冰场). She just smiled, and sometimes she would laugh in __39__.
On the school bus the next morning there was much news about Amy and me __40__ together, __41__ nobody insulted her or me. And they didn’t do that for the rest of the year.
After graduation, I never __42__ Amy again. However, I never forget her and I’ve always __43__ if I changed her life for the better. But I know for sure she changed my __44__. After becoming her friend, I no longer tried to impress (给……留下印象) people by trying to __45__ like them. I became myself.

When I was growing up, I was embarrassed to be seen with my father. He was badly crippled (跛脚), and when we would walk together, his hand on my arm for balance, people would stare, I would be ashamed of the unwanted attention. If ever noticed or bothered, he never let on.

It was difficult to walk together—and because of that, we didn’t say much as we went along. But as we started out, he always said, “You set the pace. I will try to follow you.”

Our usual walk was to or from the subway, which was how he got to work. He went to work sick, and even in bad weather. He almost never missed a day, and would make it to the office even if others could not. It was a matter of pride for him.

When snow or ice was on the ground, it was impossible for him to walk, even with help... Such times my sister or I would pull him through the streets of Brooklyn, N.Y., on a child’s sleigh to the subway entrance. Once there, he would try to grasp handrail until he reached the lower steps that the warmer tunnel air kept ice free. In Manhattan the subway station was the basement of his office building, and he would not have to go outside again until we met him in Brooklyn on his way home. www.7caiedu.cn

When I think of it now, I am surprised at how much courage it must have taken for a grown man to suffer from shame and disability. And I am also surprised at how he did it—without bitterness or complaint.

He never talked about himself as an object of pity, not did he show any envy of the more fortunate or able. What he looked for in others was a “good heart”, and if he found one, the owner was good enough for him.

Now that I am older, I believe that is a proper standard by which to judge people, even though I still don’t know exactly what a “good heart” is. But I know the times I don’t have one myself.

He has been away for many years now, but I think of him often. I wonder if he sensed my reluctance to be seen with him during our walks. If he did, I am sorry I never told him how sorry I was, how unworthy I was, how I regretted it. I think of him when I complain about my troubles, when I am envious of another’s good fortune, when I don’t have a “good heart”.

The day before Father’s Day, Mrs. Berry asked her students to __36  ___ a card for their fathers. She passed out paper and pieces of cloth.

         Elizabeth looked for a while at the blue cloth and began to cut it. Then she  folded (折)her paper in half and began writing. When Elizabeth finally looked at the message the teacher gave on the paper, she noticed something else. She felt her   37   grow hot — she hadn’t heard that anyone who didn’t have a father could make one for a grandfather or an uncle.

         As her teacher walked to her, Elizabeth tried  38  her card with her arm, but Mrs Berry gently  39  it so that she could read it. Elizabeth sat  40 , waiting for her to say something, but she saw a  41  roll down Mrs Berry’s face. She had never made Mrs Berry so upset.

         When school was over, Elizabeth  42  until all the other kids left so that she could  43 . “I’m sorry for not listening. I’ll make another card  44  you want. I’ll do it  45  and bring it tomorrow.”

         “ 46  are you talking about?” asked Mrs Berry.

         “My Father’s Day card. I know you’re upset because I didn’t do it  47 .”

         “Elizabeth, that was the  48  card in the whole class. It was so  49   that it made me cry.”

         Elizabeth was so  50  that she ran out of the classroom.

         When her mom came home from work that night, Elizabeth  51  to give her the card early.

         On the front of the card was a  52  of Elizabeth’s mom, with a blue piece of cloth cut like her hair. Inside the card she had written:

Dear Mom,

         I know you work really hard to be both a mommy and a(n)  53 . I want to thank you and  54  you a happy Father’s Day!

                                                                   Love,

                                                                   Elizabeth

         When her mom read the card she started  55 , just like Mrs Berry did.
