I was only eight years old when the Second World War ended, but I can still remember something about the 36 celebrations in the small town where I lived on the day when the war in Europe ended. We had not 37 much from the war where, though, like most children of my age, I often saw 38 houses in the streets and the very big 39 lorries(卡车) passing through. But both at home and at school I had become 40 to the phrases “before the war” and “when the war is over”. “Before the war”, obviously, 41 had been better, though I was too young to understand why, 42 there had been no bombs then, and people had eaten things like ice cream and bananas, which I had 43 heard of. When the war was over we would go back to London, but this meant very 44 to me. I did not remember what London was like.
What I remember now 45 V-Day(victory day) was the afternoon and the evening. Some boys and girls were collecting 46 and building an enormous bonfire(篝火). We stood and watched them for a time, and then I went home and 47 myself in with my key and waited for my parents to come back from work.
It was May and still broad 48 when my mother arrived, and my father came in about an hour later. After dinner I said I wanted to 49 the bonfire, so when it got dark my father took me to the end of the street.

The flames 52 soon. Everyone was cheering and shouting.
I stood beside my father until the 53 started to go down, not knowing what to say. He said nothing, either. He had 54 in the First World War and remembered everything he had experienced. At last he said, “Well, that’s it, son. Let’s hope that this time it really will be the 55 one.”

"Everything happens for the best." My mother said whenever I faced disappointment, "If you 36 one day something good will happen. And you'll realize that it wouldn't have happened if not for that previous 37 ."
Mother was right. After graduating from college I had decided to try for a job in 38 , then work my way up to 39 . I got 40 on the door of every station every time.
In one studio, a kind lady told me that big stations wouldn't 41 hiring an inexperienced person. "Go out in the sticks(边远地区) and find a 42 station that'll give you a chance." she said.
I thumbed(搭便车) home to Dixon, Illi. 43 there were no radio-announcing jobs in Dixon, my father said Montgomery Ward had opened a store and wanted a local 44 to manage 45 sports department. Since Dixon was where I had played high-school football, I 46 the post, but I wasn't hired.
My disappointment must have shown. "Everything happens for the best." Mom 47 me. I drove to Davenport, in Iowa. I 48 WOC Radio there. Peter Macarthur, the program director, told me they had already hired an announcer.
As I left his office, my frustration(挫折感) 49 over. I asked aloud. "How can a fellow get to be a sports announcer if he can't get a job in a radio station ?" I was waiting for the 50 when I heard Macarthur calling. "What was that you said about sports? Do you know anything about 51 ?" Then he stood me before a microphone and asked me to broadcast a(an) 52 game.
I remembered a game we had won. I did a 15-minute buildup to that play, and Peter told me I would 53 Saturday's game!
On my way home, I thought of my mother's words, 54 I have many times since, "If you … , one day something good will happen...."
I often wonder what my 55 might have been like if I'd gotten the job at Montgomery Ward.
