An unforgettable experience
It was a cold winter day. I rushed down the busy road towards the bus stop. Taxis passed me one after another 36 I didn’t have enough money to get one. My wallet was in my pocket but 37 I had was a five-yuan note. Taking a bus would 38 three, so I would be left with only 39 to buy something to eat. I was very hungry as I had only eaten one meal all day. Waiting at the bus stop, I 40 eagerly for a store 41 I could buy food. Then I heard an old woman’s voice 42
behind me, “Steamed corn(蒸玉米)!Steamed corn!One yuan each!” Her voice was breaking and 43 deep despair. Staring at the old woman, I felt pity. She was 44 ,just like a beggar. But she was much older than the other beggars in the street. Her face was 45 and her eyes were full of tears. Her large withered(干枯的) fingers kept a tight hold on her basket of steamed corns. What had happened to her? Why was a woman 46 selling corns on such a cold evening? I felt sad. I had to do something. I took the five-yuan note from my wallet and handed it to her. She had said each steamed corn cost one yuan, so I could buy 47 . But if I did that, I would have nothing 48 to pay for the ticket. I wouldn’t be able to get home. Finally, I decided to give the woman two yuan for one steamed corn, 49 my pity for her. To my surprise, she refused to accept the 50 one yuan, saying she wanted to work for her money. She was already 51 to me because I was the only person to buy steamed corns from her all day.
I was 52 moved. She was so old and weak but chose to sell snacks 53 beg. From that moment, I had 54 for her, and didn’t feel pity any more. The corn was sweet and delicious. But 55 made me happier was that I helped a respectable old woman as much as I could.

The Jordans had the best raspberries in the neighborhood, and that their bushes were always heavy with fruit.So, that summer Friday night, we snuck(潜行) into the Jordans’ backyard and 21 ourselves carefully around the bushes and started 22 their sweet, juicy berry. And we were enjoying every bite of ill-gotten berry 23 all of a sudden the Jordans’ backyard lights were turned on.
“What you boys doing out here?” Mr Jordan shouted. In all 24 ran off my friends, une aten raspberries 25 everywhere.
He made an attempt to grab one or two, but they were too quick. Speed was never my 26 . So I could just stand there and 27 whatever punishment from the Jordans and my parents. I took the scolding that Mr Jordan gave me until we reached my house, where my mother 28 . My friends said they could hear every 29 word from the darkness of our backyard, where they had gathered to celebrate their 30 .
They 31 me about it for days afterwards, while all I could do was complain about how 32 it was that I had to pay the full 33 for doing the exact same thing all of them had done without any 34 consequences. After about a week, I complained it to my father.
“You took raspberries without asking, and you got exactly the punishment you 35 ,”Dad said.
“But what about the other guys?” I asked.
“That’s not my 36 , nor should it be yours,” Dad said. “You can’t control what happens to other people. You can 37 deal with what happens to you.”
Back then I thought Dad just didn’t 38 it. But through the years I come to realize that, 39 , he knew what he was talking about. We didn’t come to earth with a(an) 40 that life would treat us fairly. The only thing we can actually deal with is what happens to us.

Christmas Eve was tomorrow. I hoped one of the packages that held a camera had already been placed under the Christmas tree. It was the only thing I wanted. I had been dropping hints to my parents. I love taking photos. My bedroom walls are covered with photos I had taken with my mom’s old camera. I’m always trying to capture (捕捉) those perfect moments in which you can hear the laughter or touch the beautiful scene, but my camera has always seemed to fall short.
I knew Mom had put a few presents under the tree this morning, so I went on a hunt in my mom’s room. I opened the door and found my Christmas present was lying unwrapped on the floor — a big pink cat. I felt so disappointed.
Mom seemed to notice that, and she tried to cheer me up. “Stacy, I got your present today. I am so excited to surprise you!” “I can’t wait,” I said.
The next day I couldn’t wait any longer. I needed to tell her.
“Mom, may I talk to you for a second?”
“Sure, dear. What do you need to talk about?” she asked.
And so it came — how upset I was that I was getting a cat.
“Stacy, that cat is for your sister Julia!” she said with a smile.
“Then what am I getting?” I asked.
She just smiled. “You’ll have to wait and see.”
Next morning, I happily got into the living room and sat next to the tree. I pulled out the box with my name on it and opened the wrapping paper to find ...
My camera! “Thank you!” I said to both Dad and Mom.
Dad picked up the camera and took a picture of Julia, Mom and me. It has become one of my favorite pictures. Just on that Christmas morning, I took lots of photos with my camera — my little sister making a face, my parents giving me a soft smile — and all of these photos have come to mean one thing to me: love.

Sometimes life makes more sense when you look at it in reverse (相反). That's certainly been true for me.
Last Christmas, at 39, I caught a disease which attacked my knees and eyes. At its worst I could hardly walk or see. For months I' d have to crawl (爬) across the floor to use the bathroom or get a drink of water when my husband wasn't home. For a while I could only see shapes and colors so I couldn't drive.
My parents kept begging me to let them come out to stay with me in Los Angeles, but our apartment is small and I knew there was nothing they could really do to help me. For the excellent health insurance my husband had through his job, I was receiving the best medical care possible.
My only problem was that I couldn't drive to my doctors' appointments and I didn't want my husband to keep missing work to drive me. Three days after I explained this to my parents, a check came from them with a note saying this was "taxi money". Several months later another check showed up from my brother to help make up our income since I wasn't able to work. It probably goes without saying that I was extremely grateful to have family members who could and would support me during the hard time.
In terms of my day-to-day existence, I live in a village within Los Angeles called Brentwood so I was able to walk to the local post office, market, bank, and library. But once there, I had to depend on the kindness of strangers to help me. Los Angeles is a big city, but I lived in a village with a wonderful community (社区) of people who were kind and patient.
Slowly I became well. Life was good again and I thought I had a clear understanding of the blessings (恩惠) this illness has provided.
